Dragonflight

Dragonriding is one of the new expansion features coming with Dragonflight, and with these new drakes come new customizations so you can look good while Dragon Racing!

It's looking more and more likely that we'll get Dragonflight before the year is over, and that means we'll likely see the pre-patch in a month or two.

Beta testing has begun for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, and many players are getting to see (or experience) a small preview of what the upcoming expansion has in store for us.

The next expansion for World of Warcraft is taking us to the Dragon Isles. Dragonflight is going to bring a lot of exciting changes to the game, including the new Dracthyr Evoker hero class, the return of talent trees, a revamped professions system, and the new dragonriding system that lets us soar over the Dragon Isles.

Now that Dragonflight has officially entered the beta phase of testing, players have the ability to copy their characters from live servers onto the beta development servers.

The World of Warcraft PTR servers for 9.2.7 went down on Wednesday this week, and that's raised some eyebrows.

One of the most popular stories you'll hear from the earliest World of Warcraft players is how Alterac Valley battleground matches could last many hours, with players leaving for meals or classes and then returning to find the same match going.

Ok, fine, depending on how you mark the turning of the seasons, we're still a few weeks away from it technically being autumn.

The latest alpha build for World of Warcraft's forthcoming expansion Dragonflight included a new feature coded as "Soft Targeting." An alternative to the standard tab target or click-to-interact that WoW players have been using for years, the soft target feature will automatically target an NPC or enemy within medium range that your camera is centered on -- you don't have to get right in their face, thankfully, but casters and hunters will find it hard to start combat from maximum range with this feature.

In a rare inside look at how the Warcraft team puts together WoW's timeline, Lead Narrative Designer Steve Danuser not only put WoW's history on a timeline -- he also stated, in no uncertain terms, we'd be having a bit of a time skip between the end of Shadowlands and the start of Dragonflight.
