8.1.5 News Blue Post:

We’re underway with the deployment of our first build of WoW 8.1.5 to our Public Test Realms. We expect it to be playable soon, and we want to start discussions about the features of the update that we’ll be testing:

The Kul Tiran Allied Race unlock
The Zandalari Allied Race unlock
Naga invasion World Quests (possibly leadup to 8.2 content)
New portal rooms in faction capitals
The next chapter of pet battle Raiding with Leashes
Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin visual improvements

Our testing in this first build will be primarily technical, so some 8.1.5 features will be locked/unavailable for the first few days while we work on initial concerns:

New War Campaign quests
New quests and questlines focused on Magni, Hati, and the eight non-gathering primary Professions
Warlords of Draenor Timewalking dungeons
New Brawl in Arathi Basin vs. AI
Wintergrasp coming to the Epic Battleground list
New Brawler’s Guild update
New Darkmoon Faire roller coaster
New Micro-holidays and updates to Children’s Week

Additionally, you may see some features referenced in this PTR (such as Ashran as an Epic Battleground) that are not part of 8.1.5, but may be introduced in a later update. We’ll keep an eye out for such things and make sure to let you know what we aren’t testing in this PTR.

As always, thank you for your testing and feedback.

What We've Been Doing:



Aprillian




Constraxx

6 or 7 Paragon Caches. 300k profit on Rogue, AH woes, 4 hours spent doing mail and relisting Junk.

Paragon 7th Legion Toy : Rallying war Banner

Paragon Order of Embers Pet and Toy : Cobalt Raven Hatchling, Bewitching Tea Set

New mount : Bone-White Primal Raptor. Achievement “I’ve got 9999 Problems but a Bone-White Primal Raptor Ain’t One”

Grinding reps on All 3 Alts for 3 star recipes at revered. Incursions save my bacon...

Leveled a Goblin mage to 20 then boosted to farm rare mounts.

Timewalking x 5 = 12 leather transmogs, nice run, time walking badges as well. No Add-on, No meter, No vote Kick… 45 minute queue :(  Usual pull shinanigans, Rogue sap broken on every pull, no recorded death on the 5 dungeon run, I still know my class. The quick and the dead, new tanks, same mechanics, who’s got the healer’s back, why is no one using battle rez? Tanking a mob away from the party to avoid the wipe.  Nobody got kicked, yay!

3 star recipes for all enchanting… lucky on the rep grind this week.  4 quest double for incursion and line up to during 5 days, super super lucky, 7500 rep each time.

Crash and burn on 370 rewards, every slot from armor rewards from Emissary except
Rings…

Cooking to 125 to free up a bag slot, the 2 star recipe and 3 star recipe for sanguine feast.

Grand Nagus

Important change that not everyone might have picked up on with 8.1:
The profession quests on DMF island now give skill points with the highest expansion you have learned.
Secrets of Skettis Discover the Arakkoa artifacts listed.
New Gnome Warlock is lvl 75, just before the show started.
Need to level Archaeology, because she’s a alchemist, it’s the only profession that’s (still) not separated into expansions. (Addon Spotlight)
Finished Silithus, Howling Fjord, Icecrown is next

Hello everyone!

Hope you all have had a great week.  Here are my audios. This week I thought it would be appropriate to look into the very first anniversary of CAW for our Blast from the Past.  Enjoy!

G'day Ctrl Alt Wow team!

Congratulations on your 600th episode!

You constant, enthusiastic, affirming, entertaining presence has been a true blessing to the WoW community.

Especially you Aprillian - you've been through so much over the years but you somehow find a way to put a smile on your face and share your goodness, and the joy of playing WoW, with everyone.

Thank you so much to you and to all of your awesome co-hosts :-)
