What are you doing first in patch 8.3?

by Matthew Rossi on January 14, 2020 at 8:00am @MatthewWRossi

I mean, I kind of know what you're doing first -- if you want to do anything else in World of Warcraft's patch 8.3, you'll need to do the introductory questline that unlocks everything else, from the Old God Assaults to the Horrific Visions and including the raid itself, since the raid portal for Ny'alotha will switch between Uldum and the Vale of Eternal Blossoms depending on which zone is under attack by the Old God itself.

by Matthew Rossi on January 13, 2020 at 8:00am @MatthewWRossi

Everything you need to know about Corrupted gear coming in patch 8.3

by Matthew Rossi on January 10, 2020 at 11:00am @MatthewWRossi

If you haven't had enough of gear being overly complicated in BFA, I have some great news for you -- in patch 8.3, we're moving away from the simple Titanforging system, where sometimes a piece of gear can drop that's just a little bit better than normal.
