World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth

Expected release date: August 14, 2018.

The expansion will raise the level cap from 110 to 120, introduce the Kul Tiras and Zandalar continents, add dungeons and raids,[3] add warfronts (20-player PvE mode against opposite faction NPCs), add uncharted islands, and introduce three allied races for each the Alliance and the Horde.

The zone level-scaling introduced in Legion 7.3.5 will also be applied to content from prior expansions, allowing larger level brackets for lower level zones. Some examples include a zone like Westfall having its level bracket (at 10-15 as of Legion) increased to 10-60.

New Allied races, Dark Iron dwarves and the Zandalari trolls, will be made available after Battle for Azeroth is released.

While the continent of Kul’Tiras is primarily for Alliance leveling and Zandalar is primarily for Horde leveling, both factions will be playing on both continents thru the War Campaigns. You are introduced to them during leveling and then it opens up fully at level 120.

The new zones and subzones will be:

Kul Tiras (Alliance):

  • Tiragarde Sound (with capital city Boralus)
  • Drustvar
  • Stormsong Valley

Zandalar (Horde):

  • Zuldazar (with capital city Zuldazar)
  • Nazmir
  • Vol’dun

All are encouraged to test and edit or suggest improvements for any guide.

    Never mind I’m blind. I found it. It was in the End Game Storylines section. But I think something needs to be fixed in that. It says I must be level 60, but I’m currently going through and I’m below that.

    Do any of the BFA guides have the last bit of the A Nation United achievement to unlock the Kul Tiran race? Once you finish the Dristvar, Tirgarde Valley, and Stormsong quest lines, yoyu need to do the Pride of Kul Tiras questline that starts with the What You May Regret quest. I don’t see that in any of these.

    From my limited testing, theFrom my limited testing, the second choice quest is only available after coming back from the first zone’s completion.  However, I cannot guarantee that for the third level since I finished the “coming back” before I was level 118.  However, I assume that it holds true for that as well.

    zone opening scheduleIs it strictly level based? so 112, sent back to scouting map choose among 3115? sent back to scouting map choose between 2118 semt back to scouting map do last oneI assume you wouldnt get the 2nd choose a zone before you completed the first choose a zone, but you might before you complete the zone you choose?I have 5 char at  nearly 111 now… testing the hell out of the intro 🙂

    Note that the zones that openNote that the zones that open up to you depend on what you choose at the war table for your faction.  For example, an Alliance player at 112 might choose to go to Nazmir, but another might choose to go to Vol’dun.  The other areas open up when hitting higher levels, and when you hit 118 to do the last, you don’t even choose (Blizzard seems to have gotten smart and knows there is only one zone left, so no need to present you a choice).

    Both faction will play all zonesWhile playoing beta, I found out that when you pass lvl 112 you can go to your capital an start the war campaing. In that canpain the 3 zones for the other faction opens up to do.So I think this means we will have to do a zone guide for both factions.Also I think it would be wise to have a guide (called it war campain maybe) that would function like orderhall guide in legion.

    BFA 8.0.0 Beta AddonFolks:    I’ve gotten the addon to the point where the new mapping system has been implemented and we are able to sense coordinates and zones correctly.   Things left to do are:Test the recorderAdd translation for the Legacy Legion zones/floors to the new MapID systemUpdate TomTom With any luck, we should be able to write and test guides this week.If you want to help write guides, we will coordinate assignments here, and hold our discussions on discord at https://discord.gg/aarduK7 in the authors channel.If you want to help test, you are welcome to join us on discord as well!

    OK, so the quest acceptanceOK, so the quest acceptance is still working as expected.  Grail uses the following code for map things:if nil == GetMapNameByID then GetMapNameByID = function(mapId) local mapInfo = mapId and C_Map.GetMapInfo(mapId) or nil return mapInfo and mapInfo.name or nil end endTHe following three are defined in Grail so users use e.g., Grail:GetCurrentMapAreaID() and it works in both 7.x and 8.x—— Returns the mapID where the player currently is.
    GetCurrentMapAreaID = function()
    return Grail.battleForAzeroth and C_Map.GetBestMapForUnit(‘player’) or GetCurrentMapAreaID()
    end,—
    — Returns the mapID of where the map is showing.
    GetCurrentDisplayedMapAreaID = function()
    return Grail.battleForAzeroth and C_Map.GetCurrentMapID() or Grail.GetCurrentMapAreaID()
    end, GetPlayerMapPosition = function(unitName) if Grail.battleForAzeroth then if nil ~= C_Map.GetPlayerMapPosition then local results = C_Map.GetPlayerMapPosition(C_Map.GetBestMapForUnit(unitName), unitName) return results.x, results.y— elseif _G[“LibStub”] and nil ~= LibStub(“HereBeDragons-2.0”) then— return LibStub(“HereBeDragons-2.0”):GetPlayerZonePosition() else return UnitPosition(unitName) end else return GetPlayerMapPosition(unitName) end end, Hopefully this helps.

    RE: What Info is Recordedqid, quest name, coordinates you are standing when you accept, complete and turn in a quest.  Also when you learn a flight path, and when you level up.  All other steps require some user intervention either thru the recorder UI or thru editing the LUA file with the text editor of your choice.The main challenge was the fact that Bliz totally redid the mapping system with this expansion.  Ludovicus has that worked out and just needs to give the Recorder a little more TLC and it should be good to go sometime this week he tells me 🙂

    What information is recordedWhat information is recorded by the recorder?  I can tell you what changes I had to make for Grail for BfA beta, and perhaps that will get the recorder up and running faster.

    Drustvar guide by STrekI would like to do the Drustvar Guide. I have almost played thru it once in the beta and it is also a zone I love to play.For the moment I am waiting on new version off the recorder so I can get starting. If it is avaible, a link to it would be great 😉

    will it be a officialwill it be a official realease (8.0.0A) or must I search somewere else and tread this as a beta realse to expriment with on the beta BFA.I am also searching for recorder (or something like that) to give as much (raw) data for new guides.

    Recorder for 8.0Blizzard made major changes to the mapping API, so many changes to the Recorder and WowPro in general.  HerebeDragons, a map library WoWPro depends on was updated today (Sun, 4.29.18)  and Ludovicus is hopeful to have a working version of the recorder out this week.  When the recorder is out, please use it and submit the output.  If you can also take the time to polish them up that would be great too, but even raw files help alot.

    What can we do to help prepare for BFAI have access to beta and want to help to get as much needed info to prepare wow-pro for the new expansion BFA.Can I use the recorder addon to record quests? Or is there something else that could help?

    Apr 24, 2018 @ 6:30 am

    release dateyes, the goal will be to have the new version ready to go on opening day. Addons were enabled in the most recent build, now we have to get this one working properly.  Bliz has made some major changes to map functions, so any addon which depends on that will require more than the usual amount of new expansion work.
