Patch 8.2.5

There's already quite a few details about patch 8.2.5 that have me excited.

Wrathion is a character who was invented in Cataclysm, and as such, is a complex legacy character with a lot of facets to his nature.

Check out side-by-side comparisons of the new Goblin faces on the patch 8.2.5 PTR and the current the faces we know.

It hasn't been all that long since World of Warcraft's patch 8.2 hit live serves and saw the release of Nazjatar, Mechagon, and all the things contained therein -- but that doesn't mean people aren't already talking about what comes next.

As with all things datamined, here come the disclaimers -- this is datamined content from the patch 8.2.5 PTR (courtesy of the folks at Wowhead), it may not go live, it may not even be intended to go live, the fact that the map is from Siege of Orgrimmar could in fact be a bit of the developers at Blizzard having some fun with the dataminers and those of us who leap on the latest news and breathily tell you all about it, and so on.

The WoW patch 8.2.5 PTR development notes are live with a list of new stuff that's coming with the update, including the long-anticipated Worgen and Goblin model update.

I'm not even kidding.

We’re over a month into summer vacation now. My children are feral, living on scavenged freeze pops and peanut butter toast. The entire house is covered in a thin layer of sand. Baby Shark has been on repeat so long I hear it even when it’s not on. We’re about 2 weeks away from turning into Thunderdome. In the distance, sirens.

This is The Queue and right now, it’s a brief respite. Too, too brief.
