Logging in on main, it showed my new honor level as 37, which seems to be on par with the total honor of that one character only (330k), whereas my account total should amount to level 79 (695k). Do I have to log into each character separately or is that a glitch?


Yes, you will need to log in on each character for their Honor to be added to the total.

please clarify. BFA will use DX12 for AMD And Intel CPU? Yet Nvidia is by far the more popular GPU architecture and is being left behind. This is flat out wrong!!!! Y'all really are trying to dump your customer base if perception is reality.


We prioritized DirectX 12 support where we felt it necessary for performance and stability. This was not necessary for NVIDIA hardware, which performs admirably on DirectX 11.

Any fix for people that have already done the quest for Magram Clan Centaur and Gelkis Clan Centaur reputation? Completed Loremaster years ago and now I cant get these reputations to exalted.


We've just applied a hotfix to the game to address this. If you previously completed the quest "Death to Agogridon", speak to Karnum Marshweaver in Desolace to receive your reward.

There's a lot of commotion on the RP realms about sharding returning, it's really not welcome on the RP realms, however, I assume this is only temporary to help with BFA's launch?


By default, sharding is always disabled on RP realms, except where needed for server stability. When events drive large numbers of players to specific areas, we shard them as needed. Sharding has once again been disabled, but we expect it will be needed for launch events soon.

Is there any way to go back to old darkshore quests?


In order to accommodate various questing needs, Zidormi will be making an appearance in Darkshore ... soon.

Will the mounts be exclusively available during pre-launch, or can we earn them after BFA goes live?


These mounts are exclusively available during the Battle for Azeroth pre-launch events. Obtaining one will unlock both, so get 'em while they're here!

What is the release date for M0s, Warfronts and World Bosses? Are M0s open with first reset and the other two with raid release?

hey friends, do you guys know if I need to do the darkshore questline to start playing BFA when it launches on monday? thanks


The Darkshore questline isn't required, but it is the only way to earn the exclusive Horde and Alliance mounts (which will no longer be obtainable once BfA launches!)
We've updated our hotfixes blog post with today's hotfixes, including all of the class tuning that is now live in the Americas, Australia-New Zealand, and European realms, and will go live with weekly maintenance in other regions:
