World of Warcraft has officially revealed details for Patch 11.2.7 called The Warning. This is the last content update for the current expansion known as The War Within. In particular, the patch adds new story and gameplay features. It also sets the stage for the highly anticipated Midnight expansion. Likewise, the developers launched new hotfixes for several versions of the game.
The War Within: Campaign Continuation
According to Blizzard Entertainment, World of Warcraft players will see a new storyline following Vereesa Windrunner. She is a pivotal character doing an investigation. This elven ranger aims to know the truth about a dark prophecy that threatens Quel’thalas.
More specifically, the questline serves as an epilogue to The War Within. In the same way, it is a prologue to Midnight. This part connects the narrative from one expansion to another.
Housing Early Access and Player Experiences
As per the official announcement, Patch 11.2.7 includes new offerings. One of these is Housing Early Access. However, full features are only available to players who already own Midnight. Some of the perks they can access are the following:
- Decor Collection/Room Decorating
- Flying in Neighborhoods
- Guild/Charter Neighborhood Creation
- Legacy Content Rewards
- Neighborhoods
- New Housing Tutorial
- Profession Rewards
- Room Layouts
Yes, the complete experience is only for Midnight owners. But other players can still get a taste of what is to come in the expansion. They can also go around the neighborhood. Similarly, these players are allowed to collect housing items by completing quests. However, they will need to buy the latest expansion to gain home ownership.
At the same time, Blizzard revamped the experiences for both new and returning players. Particularly, newcomers and veterans will find an updated guide and smoother game transitions, respectively.
The Warning: Additional Features
Blizzard Entertainment said that the upcoming update brings a new Lorewalking story. Players will meet Lorewalker Cho to learn about the elves of Quel’Thalas. The Warning also gives fans a chance to earn the Pandaren Heritage Armor. All they have to do is revisit the Wandering Isle and help fix the Spirit Festival. On top of that, players should rejoice as the Brawler’s Guild comes back. This organization arranges fighting challenges for players. Now, the combats will take place at Orgrimmar: Brawl’gar Arena and Stormwind: Bizmo’s Brawlpub.
Hotfixes for Multiple Game Modes
Aside from the final content update for The War Within, the video game developer launched important hotfixes. Players can find fixed quest progression bugs, improved vfx, balanced spell cooldowns, and more. These changes apply to the following game modes:
- The War Within
- Mists of Pandaria Classic
