The opposite massive factor to speak about is current discussions in regards to the season finish warning, as we’re not fairly certain that what we obtained tucked contained in the massive “what’s coming within the pre-patch” blue put up is de facto how Blizzard would wish to announce that, particularly contemplating there is no context for the precise time till the season ends or the time the post-season will final.
Season Ending Announcement? (supply)
BATTLE FOR AZEROTH PVP SEASON Four ENDS AND THE POST-SEASON BEGINS
The gates will quickly shut on Battle for Azeroth PvP Season Four with the discharge of the Shadowlands pre-expansion patch. Don’t fear although, you’ll nonetheless be capable of participate in aggressive PvP in a particular post-season, which can finish with the launch of the growth. The brand new Shadowlands Season 1 will then go dwell shortly after the launch of Shadowlands.
In the event you participated in Season 4, to make sure you obtain the rewards that you simply’re due, please hold the next in thoughts:
Chorus from transferring your character(s) to a different realm or faction till after Battle for Azeroth Season Four has ended.
Battle for Azeroth Season Four titles and mounts might be awarded roughly two weeks after the season ends.
Earlier finish of season bulletins typically talked about a time window that the post-season will final, which might have given us the pre-patch launch date, in order that’s a strike in opposition to the speculation. Nevertheless, the Legion finish of growth / season 7 shut put up additionally did not point out a selected length, however it DID get its personal separate article on the WoW website.
So the one factor we are able to collect from that is that we nonetheless don’t have any particular info on when the pre-patch could be coming. It appears nearly definitive that we’ll be seeing it on or earlier than October sixth/seventh, which might make it just below 2 weeks from the massive blue put up, however it might additionally come subsequent week, or as some gamers considerably too hopefully want, tomorrow. We nonetheless estimate that the almost certainly launch date is October sixth/seventh, and we have gone over why in a separate put up already.
In any case, the discharge candidate does not less than give us some strong floor with Schrodinger’s pre-patch, aka we not less than now know there IS a cat within the field.
To scale back loot portions throughout the board, Blizard has determined to take away bonus rolls within the Shadowlands altogether, so you will not be capable of purchase the foreign money that beforehand gave you one other probability on loot.

Bonus rolls now not exist, and the Nice Vault captures the worth they supply to raiders. Non-raiders must also issue within the Nice Vault, as finishing a Mythic Keystone +15 will award a selection of as much as three item-level 226 items from the Nice Vault.
So no bonus rolls in raids and only one piece of drugs from the end-of-run chests from Mythic dungeons.

I’d wish to take a step again on this topic and have a look at the massive image.
As has been noticed within the Beta, loot portions general are diminished in Shadowlands. Following the proclamation “let loot be loot”, we’re coming into right into a world with out Warforging and Titanforging, the place getting an merchandise from related content material ought to really feel rewarding by itself extra typically, with no need to hope for random upgrades.
Bonus rolls now not exist, and the Nice Vault captures the worth they used to supply to raiders. Non-raiders must also issue within the Nice Vault, as finishing a Mythic Keystone +15 will award a selection of as much as three item-level 226 items from the Nice Vault.
Presently within the Shadowlands Beta / first tier of the growth, PvP loot for high rankings caps out at merchandise degree 226.
Whereas outside world gameplay and professions provide a spread of epic gear, the very strongest loot in WoW comes from the three organized multiplayer endgame development paths: Rated PvP, Mythic Keystone dungeons, and raiding. The design intent is for all three paths to supply parallel development over the course of a tier, whereas offering gamers who have interaction in a number of paths at a comparable degree a sooner development expertise. For instance, we’re at the moment focusing on merchandise degree 213 for Challenger-level PvP, Heroic raiding, or Mythic Keystone dungeons on the +7 issue.
After all, there might be additional changes to all of this within the weeks to return earlier than Shadowlands launches.
