News is flying fast and furious as World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth’s beta test continues. Let’s catch up on a few details, shall we?
We now know the achievements required for unlocking the Dark Iron Dwarves and the Mag’hard Orcs, which takes an exalted reputation and a multi-stage war campaign each to attain. Don’t expect to unlock these on Day One of the expansion — or even Week One, for that matter.
Testers also poked around with the new and much more official Azerite traits interface, which replaced the temporary one that had been used up to this point. It looks really slick, the way you’d expect from a Blizzard UI. Another way that players will differentiate themselves from the pack is with reinstated utility buffs and debuffs.
Mythic+ dungeons were a big hit with Legion, and in Battle for Azeroth Blizzard is capitalizing on this with Mythic+ Seasons that include different boss affixes and player achievements. And if you don’t mind a few spoilers for the zones you’re about to explore, you can check out screenshots of Dampwick Ward and Hook Point over at Blizzard Watch.
