The Shadowlands pre-patch changed a lot of the game. The addition of Chromie Time allows players to level in any expansion they choose, which is something that has been asked about for years. In addition, the level squish means that every level a player gains matters and adds something to their class. One of the other major changes is that many classes have new talents or spells that completely reworks their class spec’s rotations....

The Dracthyr’s Soar ability allows them to use a simplified version of the new Dragonriding mechanic from Dragonflight on a long cooldown. This lets them access the new flying system in any part of the world, but without the Vigor or Dragonriding skills the full system uses.

The Naxxramas raid is legendary among players who enjoyed the old days of 40-man raiding and even newer players are likely familiar with the legends about taking down everyone from Anub’ to Kel’Thuzad.

The massive World of Warcraft-inspired creation is incredibly impressive and seems to capture every nook and cranny of the floating necropolis....

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands saw some of the most popular Horde characters fight alongside the players against the Jailer.

These events had a significant impact on the entire Horde, and the ramification of these choices will most likely be revealed as players begin their adventure in the Dragon Isles....

Jokerd’s world-first level 60 character is a Gnome Mage. Gnomes get a racial bonus of +5% intelligence, giving Jokerd’s Mage a healthy damage bonus as they farmed their way to max level.

Though not perfect by any means, the Great Vault has been an upgrade over the weekly chests of Legion and Battle for Azeroth. Dragonflight continues to improve upon the concept even further while maintaining the format introduced in Shadowlands and refined over the course of its patches. Moreover, Mythic dungeon rewards in Dragonflight’s Great Vault have had their item levels increased, allowing players who are disinterested in World of Warcraft’s raiding scene to earn a dungeon equivalent to some of the best loot the game has to offer....
