Join Executive Producer & Vice President Holly Longdale, Senior Game Designer Bret Cocking, Associate Game Designer Leah Hwang, and host Community Manager Bethany Stout as they reveal what’s coming in the World of Warcraft 20th Anniversary Celebration in-game event and more!
Yoo the Judgement remaster set looks so cool!
Nice! Excited to see everything else tied to the anniversary.
They’re always super cringe to watch.
But in a nutshell:
- Blackrock Depths 10 to 15 raid - LFR, Normal & Heroic
- Timewalking event: AQ stuff
- Timewalking new dungeons - classic dungeons, which will be added into the perma rotation of timewalking dungeons as well.
- Vendors with old school transmogs/mounts etc
- Event will be outside the caverns of time, not inside. Random stuff to do there as well.
- World bosses: 3 world dragons / Azergous / Kazzak / Sha of Anger / Archavon Stone Watcher
- New mount
- New transmog sword / shield / crown / ring toy (replicas of blizzard employee rewards for being at the company for x amount of years)
- New toys
- New pets
- New currency from a new weekly quest to buy new transmogs etc. You will also be able to get this currency from the currently weekly quests in TWW etc.
- All the tier2 sets reworked and can be purchased with that new currency (monks and evokers got custom set)
- (no shoutout to original creator (Tomkek) of the judgement set that they clearly ripped)
- Evoker new classes: Hunter, Rogue, Warrior, Priest, Mage & Warlock
- Evoker new skyriding talent for “Squadron” where you can fly in sync with 2 others.
- Shaman new Ascendance forms
- The 20th anniversary will run for over 2 months in patch 11.0.5
The event in general looks interesting.
Stratholme and Dire Maul TW, can’t wait! Two of my favorite dungeons ever.
Yay Classic dungeons finally! They listened!
Sad there is nothing for pvp …sigh. The usual
There’s Korrak’s Revenge in Alterac Valley.
Ah yes, I missed that part in my bulletpoint list! They’re moving those NPCs to the event area outside the caverns of time.
I see what you did there…
so its not pvp then just the npc?
No the NPC is there to give you a quest I imagine and a queue up for the PvP BG.
does anyone know when Restoring a deleted character comes back?!
I love most of the stuff I’m seeing, but why did you feel the need to remake a ridiculous class set like Dragonstalker? I do not want to dress up like Spyro, not when it’s an HD set either.
This is the video summarized for all who like text-based:
The team discusses their upcoming anniversary event for World of Warcraft. They reveal that they have been inspired by the game’s rich history and player feedback, particularly the fond memories of Blackrock Depths. As a result, they plan to bring back the raid as a 10-to-15-player experience with new difficulties and bosses. Additionally, they will introduce an outdoor event in Silithus, where players will team up with Chromie to revisit the past and face enemies from various expansions. Furthermore, they will offer timewalking dungeons featuring the original dungeons, including Deadmines, Zul’Farrak, Dire Maul, and Stratholme, with new vendor items and the opportunity for players below level 10 to participate.
The hosts discuss the changes to the World of Warcraft anniversary celebration taking place in the Caverns of Time. Instead of entering the instance to participate in activities, players will find various events and attractions right outside, including Fashion Frenzy, a mini Trial of Style event; a storytelling session with Lorewalker Cho; Mount Mania, a game showcasing players’ mount collections; an ice rink in Tanaris; a Pet Corner where players can turn into their pets; costumes for cosplaying as heroes and villains; and guest relations, where players can solve riddles and clues. Additionally, Korrak’s Revenge PvP Brawl, world bosses, and two new gatecrashers, Sha of Anger and Archavon the Stone Watcher, will return. New rewards for the anniversary include a Cold Flame Tempest mount, service rewards, a balloon toy, and Warcraft III faction crests. Players can collect these rewards using a new currency earned from weekly quests.
The hosts discuss various updates and additions coming for World of Warcraft’s 20th anniversary event. The new playable race, Dracthyr, will bring six new classes: Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Mage, Warrior, and Warlock. Additionally, a new skyriding talent called “Squadrons” will allow players to have two Dracthyr companions flying alongside them. Shamans will receive new Ascendance forms, and the entire 11.0.5 patch is dedicated to the anniversary, lasting more than two months. The PTR for the new content is coming soon.
So Evo, DH, Dk and Monk mains don’t feel left out.
All those sets look much better imo. Of course it’s always going to be subjective, but come on… Bright purple and yellow set? Come. On.
Ah i see, nice! Hopefully those quests will give nice rewards or at least plenty of event currency
Oh I’m sure there will be plenty of complaining on these forums how it’s not enough with go-to terms such as ‘FOMO’, ‘time limited’ and such, playing a big part in the rants.
What are the dates for this? I can’t find it anywhere. Also, two months is very generous.
oh you bet. Lucky for me i have no fomo for these things and I dont like lots of transmogs and mounts so i only ever need to buy a few hehe
