Explore the Updates Arriving with the Shadowlands Pre-Expansion Patch

@BlizzardEntertainment

To help you prepare for the upcoming Shadowlands pre-expansion patch, we’ve compiled a variety of helpful information.

You left out probably the most useful info, as the rest of that is generally already known.

@Mapÿ-argent-dawn

Moonpie, are you going to answer or do i open a new threat?

I wouldn’t recommend it. Even pies don’t like being threatened.

[Vilesså-argent-dawn]

Why am I not able to flag this for clickbait?

Is Stress Real, Or Are You Crazy And It's All In Your Head?

[Shopkeeper-aggramar (Shopkeeper)]

I can’t say I’m in a rush. I rather have them do it right or at the very least close to it.

[Shumensko-azjolnerub (Shumensko)]

I’m sure that the community is behind me when I describe OP as trolling.

@Kyrel-stormscale

it is nowhere written that they will give a 2 week notice for the PVP season - they only usually do that. But it could also be an exception this time.

It could but it’s been a constant since what, wrath? So no real reason to think it would be an exception this time around either.

[Bhradain-silvermoon]

This is getting a little stupid now, most of us just want the new levelling stuff and customizations.
Surely you can work the other bugs out by launch.

[Taelan-argent-dawn (Taelan)]

Would like to explore the pre-patch release date!

[Vakosh-argent-dawn (Vakosh)]

Two more weeks from this reset seems increasingly likely, given their usual 2 week notice pattern with PvP seasons. Then again - they’ve usually been more specific about that in the past. All we got this time was “soon” as the estimate.

[Nerdja-thrall]

That would leave us with three weeks which is quite short though given the event’s scale.
I’d be quite salty if I tried for one of the Northrend raredrops and didn’t get it because of RNG and too little time.

30-9-2020 as prepatch date or?

[Nerdja-thrall]

Unfortunately all signs are currently pointing to 07.10. instead.

[Phreakmana-alleria]

What about the RAF change, I’ve recruited a friend last month. Instead of giving me a new 30 slot bag, which is not that big of a deal, you remove the official 1 year long experience bonus for me and my friend in the old world’s? I don’t want the buff after hitting 50, but what about the prior part? All gone?

[Heartion-dragonblight]

I have an unused boost to level 110. Please help me understand: if I use it now my character will become 110 and after the pre-patch it changes to level 45.
If I use it after the pre-patch is released, my new character will become level 48.
Am I right or did I miss something?
Thanks for your help

You wont get it. As it stands:

• Characters must be within 4 levels of each other and below level 110.

I imagine that will change to 50.

[Aule-silvermoon (Aule)]

Thats right. Better save to after pre-patch.

[Keyur-draenor (Keyur)]

I hope you guys thought about how to deal with advertising in /new player channel.

[Punyelf-draenor (Punyelf)]

I wouldn’t have thought it would be worth their while to even risk it. The mentor channel only lasts up to level 20.

However I do hope any spamming will be swifty acted against when reported.

[Kimbalynn-argent-dawn]

Those guide system requirements are disappointing. I have no intention of ever touching BfA ever again. I am an old player returning from my hiatus. I would like to help new players as a guide. What about us?

[Donwezy-drakthul]

the system has changed since you were gone. How can you help new player if you havent tried the new one? i mean the end content
