Tomorrow, World of Warcraft will receive Patch 5.4: Siege of Orgrimmar. To give a sneak preview of all the new features being added to Blizzard’s MMORPG, the company has released a preview video which you can watch below.
The patch is loaded with tons of new content and features, the largest yet since the latest expansion Mists of Pandaria was released. Players will be able to test their might in the new Proving Grounds where they’ll be able to choose the role of tank, DPS, or healer and take on a series of challenges based on the kinds of combat mechanics that particular role would encounter in a dungeon. Four modes will be available in the Proving Grounds: Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Endless and you’ll have to beat each one before moving onto the next.
Patch 5.4 Siege of Orgrimmar will also introduce the new Flexible Raid feature that will reward Item Level loot that falls in between Raid Finder and Normal quality and will use the Raid Finder’s per person loot system. The new Flexible Raid system will allow players to take on any raid with any number of people between 10-25 and the difficulty will scale based on how many people are participating. Unlike the Raid Finder however, you won’t be able to queue up for the Flexible Raid which means no Item Level requirement.
In addition, players will be able to explore the new land of The Timeless Isle which boasts an open-world experience. That is, there will be a couple of quests for you to pick up but they won’t tell you exactly where to go, or what to do. Instead, you’ll have to explore on your own to discover what The Timeless Isle has in store. Everything on the island will drop something unique including Timeless Coins, which players can use to purchase Mogu Runes of Fate, additional BoA gear, pets, mounts, and some just-for-fun items.
Pet collectors and battlers will also get The Celestial Tournament feature, which adds new Celestial Pets to the game.
