Portals

Tazavesh is proving to be the superior city to Undermine (despite its distinct lack of smooth Goblin jazz) and one of the biggest reasons is also its most understated: access.

On our adventures through Azeroth, we sometimes get so focused on becoming increasingly powerful and saving the world that we don't take the time to slow down and appreciate the finer points of the journey itself.

For the purposes of this post, a travel system is any means in a video game where you can accelerate or even skip over distances between your objectives or hub locations in the game.

Sometimes it's hard to navigate from old content to new and back again in the opening days of the expansion.

As is usually the case these days, if you can find your way out of an expansion hub, there's usually a portal to take you back.

One of the most pressing pieces of business you'll have when you arrive in Shadowlands is finding a way back.

In a game where you're tethered to the ground for travel, and a majority of that on foot, Mage portals add a bit of convenience.

Patch day is upon us, my friends, and World of Warcraft's patch 8.1.5, Tides of Vengeance, will bring a lot more changes to Azeroth.

Update 3/6/19: Blizzard responded to player complaints with a lengthy forum post outlining more reasons they're moving forward with this change.

A tiny change in patch 8.1 may have escaped people's notice: the removal of many city portals from the Shrines in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
