The War Begins

The Ahn’Qiraj War Effort Releases with a Slew of Updates!

Heroes! 
The time has come to support the war! Gather your materials, fuel the effort, and destroy the silithid! The Ahn’qiraj War Effort begins now!

But that’s not all; we’ve got a few surprises in store for you. We’re releasing a veritable barrage of updates: fixing issues, balancing abilities, making items great again (we fixed your Ogre Pinata Bubblegum, heroes), giving Andorhal players some baseline resilience, and much, much more. We’ve got a short list for you here, but check out the changelog for the full list of updates.
Get ready for war, heroes! The deserts of Silithus await.

Note: Heroes! We’ve put a lot of love into the War Effort, and we hope you’re hyped to participate! It’s an ENORMOUS event, and we took a lot of care to try and get it right. That said, Ascension’s War Effort is so huge that there’s no way we’re getting through it without a few bugs popping up (get it? Because it’s AQ?). Please know that we’ll be keeping a close eye on the event to make sure we squish any stray bugs as quickly as possible. If you find any before we do, let our GM’s know, and post them to the bug-tracker!

Below is a truncated list of our changes. Check out the Changelog for the full list!

2. Fixed a ton of items
