Shadowlands

With every new expansion, Blizzard brings us new battle pets to collect for fighting and sometimes for accompanying our characters around the World ...

This week, Matt Rossi and Joe Perez explore more possibilities surrounding Sylvanas and her motives including her deal with Helya for the lantern, why she broke the Helm of Domination instead of wearing it, and what Shadowlands realm she would have landed in had she not been killed by Frostmourne.

The way leveling in Shadowlands works, you do 1 to 10 in Exile's Reach or some other starting zone, then from 10 to 50 you either do Battle for Azeroth content or one of the other expansions, from Cataclysm's revamp of Azeroth to Outland, or Northrend, or Pandaria, or even alternate Draenor or the Broken Isles.

Since the Shadowlands pre-patch I’ve been working on my fist weapon transmogs, farming up The Bladefist from Highmaul, Fist of the Deity from Gundrak, and the Abomination’s Knuckles from ICC. I’m annoyed that I didn’t already have the Abom Knucks, cause I used to tank ICC with them back in the day. But apparently I forgot to keep them, which is irritating because I kept literally everything else. Luckily, they dropped for me.

The new customization options mean that I’m basically spending gold to make my characters match their outfits, so I don’t think I’ll have any money in Shadowlands but regardless I do enjoy fisting. I know the horrible connotations of that, and I don’t care, I enjoy my new fist weapon playstyle just that much.

This is the Queue. I’m filling in for Liz. Let’s do this.

This week, Matt Rossi and Joe Perez explore Gul'dan's prophetic last words in Legion, the fate of Gallywix at the end of Battle for Azeroth, and the clues about the true motive of Sylvanas Windrunner in WoW Shadowlands.

Since their introduction to the game, World Quests have been a key system for World of Warcraft players to net gear, gold, and reputation.

When it comes to achievements, I don't necessarily enjoy having to do raid fights in a certain way, or running dungeons within a certain time limit.

I expect we all play a little differently, and no time showcases that more than the pre-patch to an upcoming expansion.

If you're into World of Warcraft's Brawler's Guild, you may be upset to find that it's currently closed as we wait for Shadowlands. But please, don't panic -- this isn't the first time the Brawler's Guild has closed to wait for the next expansion, as we saw the underground arena go on hiatus during the Legion and Battle for Azeroth pre-patches, to be retooled for the next big thing to paraphrase the bouncers.

F0r me, the Shadowlands pre-patch has had quite a few surprises, and one of the biggest was how much I'm enjoying going Single-Minded Fury on my main Warrior.
