World of Warcraft has unveiled its 9.2 update
Blizzard abruptly announced yesterday that it would be unveiling the next content update for World of Warcraft Retail’s Shadowlands expansion arc today at 1 p.m. EST. We presume this will be the 9.2 patch, and… whew, where do we even begin with the backstory on this one. Shadowlands a year ago and Chains of Domination this past summer were long in coming, poorly received, and followed by a mass-exodus of players to other games, including FFXIV. In fact, in the first half of 2021, it was WoW Classic’s Burning Crusade expansion and the cash shop that boosted the franchise, and even that wasn’t enough to stop the free-fall of monthly active users across Blizzard’s titles, which are down 12M players (31%) over the last three years.To get more news about buy world warcraft items, you can visit lootwowgold official website.
The back half of 2021 only got worse. In July, Activision-Blizzard was slammed by multiple lawsuits alleging sexual discrimination and harassment that center heavily on the World of Warcraft teams. The backlash led to boycotts, the cancelation of BlizzConline, and the ousting of multiple developers, including studio head J. Allen Brack himself, as well as a pile of 9.1.5 revisions to the game and its feedback systems to appease developers and players alike in what’s basically been referred to as the pulling of the ripcord of panic. The fact that the recent investor call didn’t have great news for WoW – or plans for what would we would’ve expected would be next year’s expansion – has been a further blow to the morale of the community. We’ve been chronicling the chaos the better part of the year
In short, it’s been a wild ride for the MMORPG that’s been at the top of the genre for so long that most MMO gamers don’t even remember a world without it.
That brings us to today’s reveal of what we assume will be the 9.2 update. We’ll be updating this post with the pertinent announcements as we go.OK here we go. 9.2 is called Eternity’s End; Danuser calls it the final chapter of one book of the Warcraft saga. The update includes the new Zereth Mortis zone, the Enlightened faction, the First Ones’ musical language, the Sepulcher of the First Ones raid, the return of class tier sets, Mythic+ and PvP Season 3, “new mounts and pets,” a new dancing minigame in the Darkmoon Faire, and updates to professions, soulbinds, and conduits. He also says that the team is already working on the “next stories to come,” but obviously he isn’t talking about them yet, which is a disappointment since that all but confirms Blizzard will be missing its two-year expansion cadence for the first time since launch. There’s also no release window for 9.2 either for the PTR or for launch.
