Top Things To Do Before 'Battle For Azeroth,' By Warcraft's Game Director

Today's surprise installment in the World of Warcraft end-of-expansion story for Legion means that time is truly running out for the things you want to do with your characters before Battle for Azeroth launches August 13-14. Today's events set the stage for major changes in the game, including the expansion pre-patch, which will include all the game systems, cosmetic and other changes for the new expansion - basically, everything but the content in the expansion's new zones. There has been no official announcement of the prepatch launch date, but if I were a betting woman, I'd say July 10 looks awfully likely. That gives you in the neighborhood of two weeks to get your undone achievements and other Legion-era goodies done before the game changes and they go away. Fortunately, today's storyline quests charge your weapons up to 126 Artifact Power, so you're in better shape than ever before to take them on.
