news

Greetings Firestorm!

The wait is almost over. The War Within is coming to Firestorm, and we're ready to show you what's ahead. This expansion introduces a variety of new content. Our development team has been working hard over the last few months to get as much of it ready as possible. While there's still some work to be done before it's fully polished, we're now at a point where we can start sharing some of the key features. Of course, a beta realm for The War Within will be available soon. We'll start by inviting a small group of players, then slowly open access to more, beginning with the most active members of the community. We'll also be giving away beta keys on social media and Discord.

We'll keep you informed about the beta launch, so make sure to keep an eye on our website and Discord!

 

NEW ZONE: KHAZ-ALGAR

 

Khaz Algar is the new continent introduced in this expansion, it includes four regions and a major capital city: The Ringing Deeps, Hallowfall, Azj-Kahet, and the Isle of Dorn, where the new capital, Dornogal, is located. This continent also introduces a new playable race, the Earthen, a resilient titan-forged people native to the depths of Azeroth. Alongside them come new world events, factions, and of course, a quest campaign. Let's talk about development:

Isle of Dorn (levels 70 - 73): The main campaign and side quests are already in place. While world quests and rares are in the final stages, treasures and other content are still in early development. World activity, The Theater Troupe: The development of this event is ready.   The Ringing Deeps (levels 73 - 75): The main campaign, side quests, world quests, and rares are all ready, except for one world quest and the treasure content, which are still in development. World activity, Awakening the machine: The development of this event is ready.   Hallowfall (levels 75 - 78): The main story has been implemented, side quests are nearly finished, and the rest of the content is still in development. World activity, Spreading the Light: The development has not started yet.   Azj-Kahet (levels 78 - 80): The main campaign and side quests have been implemented, and most of the remaining content such as world quests, rares, treasures, and renown activities has also been implemented, with only a few elements still in development.  

There's a world activity that will take place across all of Khaz Algar Worldsoul Memory, but its development has not yet started.  

The Earthen Allied Race: The majority of the questlines needed to unlock this new race are finished, and we’re aiming to have everything set for the closed beta.   The War Within campaign: The introductory storyline "Visions of Azeroth" is fully developed and it will be available during the beta, since it's the first step in this adventure.  

Testing is underway, and development is still in progress. Most of this is expected to be available when the Beta launches, with the rest being added gradually throughout that phase.

 

RAID: NERUB-AR PALACE

 

The first raid of the expansion is one of the most important additions for PvE players.

The full raid has already been developed, and testing is underway. Of course, some fixes will be needed during this testing phase. But the Nerub-ar Palace raid will be available in all difficulties for players to try out during the Closed Beta. This will help identify bugs and make sure everything's ready for the official launch.

Here's the raid boss list:

Ulgrax the Devourer The Bloodbound Horror Sikran, Captain of the Sureki Rasha'nan Broodtwister Ovi'nax Nexus-Princess Ky'veza The Silken Court: Anub'arash and Skeinspinner Takazj Queen Ansurek

 

THE WAR WITHIN DUNGEONS

 

Dungeons are another major pillar of PvE content, and this expansion brings eight new ones. Below, we'll take a closer look at how their development is progressing:

Level-Up Dungeons 70 - 80:

The Rookery: The development is finished and it's currently stable and playable.   The Stonevault: The development phase has recently ended, and testing is now in progress, but it’s expected to be ready for the Closed Beta.   Priory of the Sacred Flame: The development is finished and it's currently stable and playable.   Ara-Kara, City of Echoes: The development just finished, which means testing hasn't started yet, but it's expected to be ready for the Closed Beta.

Max-Level Dungeons:

Cinderbrew Meadery: The development is finished and it's currently stable and playable.   Darkflame Cleft: The development is finished and it's currently stable and playable.   The Dawnbreaker: The development is finished and it's currently stable and playable, though there are still a few things to look into.   City of Threads: The development is finished and it's currently stable and playable.

Naturally, these tests were run on a testing realm, without hundreds or thousands of players running the same dungeon or content at the same time. As the Closed Beta progresses, some issues could still appear, and additional fixes will be applied to these dungeons as needed.

 

SEASON 1 DUNGEONS

 

Mythic dungeons take more development time than standard ones due to the additional mechanics involved, like scaling difficulty and affixes.

This season includes four dungeons from The War Within and four from previous expansions. Here's the list of The War Within dungeons from Season 1:

Ara-Kara, City of Echoes City of Threads The Stonevault The Dawnbreaker Mists of Tirna Scithe (Shadowlands) The Necrotic Wake (Shadowlands) Siege of Boralus (BfA) Grim Batol (Cataclysm)

Let's talk about the development status of these dungeons from previous expansions, as the TWW ones have already been covered above:

Mists of Tirna Scithe (Shadowlands): Development is complete, with testing still in progress and further fixes planned. The dungeon is now considered to be in a stable and highly playable state.   The Necrotic Wake (Shadowlands): Development is complete, with testing still in progress and further fixes planned. The dungeon is now considered to be in a stable and highly playable state.   Siege of Boralus (BfA): Development is complete, with most testing and fixes already done, though some testing is still ongoing. The dungeon is now considered to be in a stable and highly playable state.   Grim Batol (Cataclysm): Development is complete, with testing still in progress and further fixes planned. The dungeon is now considered to be in a stable and highly playable state.

These tests were conducted in a controlled testing environment, without hundreds or thousands of players running the content simultaneously. As mentioned in the previous section on dungeons, some issues may still appear as the Closed Beta progresses, and further fixes will be applied to these dungeons as needed.

 

DELVES

 

Delves are a new type of short-form instanced content that you can run solo or in a group of  2-5 players, accompanied by an NPC companion, who can take on the role of DPS or healer. The Bountiful Delves feature will be available as well.

Although the system for Delves has already been developed, only the first variant (storyline) of each delve is currently implemented. Development is still ongoing, but the first phase of testing has already started, and some fixes are expected to come along with it.

It’s possible that not all delve variants will be available by the start of the Closed Beta, but they'll be added progressively during the Beta period.

The weekly quests related to this content are also functional, but the NPC Zekvir's Lair is not available yet.

 

CLASSES FEATURES AND HERO TALENTS

 

As usual, the arrival of a new expansion brings major and meaningful changes to all classes. Naturally, this takes a lot of development work to ensure classes are as balanced as possible.

Our developers have been working on this for a while, and plenty of testing has already been done, though the process is still ongoing.

This is where the Closed Beta realm really helps. Players who join will be able to test the content and help us identify any potential class issues early, so we can fix them as soon as possible. Keeping classes well-balanced is never easy, but we’ll keep working on it until we get it right.

As an additional note, the Dracthyr race will be able to choose from the following classes during the Beta: Hunter, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, and Warrior. This way, we can ensure everything works properly by the time the expansion goes live.

 

WARBANDS

 

This expansión introduces a new account-wide system, aspects such as renown, transmog, gear that has the "Warbound Until Equipped" attribute and currencies are shared, making progress feel smoother no matter which character you're playing.

Let's talk about this features:

Warband Bank, which is an account-wide bank with multiple tabs. It's functional and development is finished, and we don't expect too many issues during the beta.   Warband reputations: The development is finished and both for the Dragonflight factions and for the 4 new TWW factions are working.   Transferable currencies: The development is done and it's functional, but we also expect our players to help with general testing during the closed beta and apply fixes if needed.   Warbound Until Equipped Gear: The development is done, and we expect to apply some fixes during the Closed Beta. We also have implemented the small chance of having warbound until equipped bonus loots in dungeons, delves and raid.

The Warbanding Together questline is available and rewards the spell Warband Bank Distance Inhibitor, which summons a personal portal directly to your Warband Bank for 10 minutes.

 

SKYRIDING

Inspired by the Dragonflight system, Skyriding is a dynamic form of flying that uses momentum and abilities to reach high places and travel across the world. Flight speed is capped at 705%, and hundreds of mounts have been updated to support this mode, including Druid flight forms. Evokers can also skyride using their racial ability, Soar.

This mode is unlocked automatically, along with the Flight Style Switch, which allows players to swap between Skyriding and Steady Flight (the classic flying style). To use Steady Flight on this new continent, you will need to unlock the achievement The War Within Pathfinder, as usual.

The races are ready and testing is underway! Other Skyriding features, like glyphs and the still track, are still in progress, but they're expected to be ready for the Beta or added as it progresses.

 

PvP

PvP brings a few new features, which we'll go over below along with the ongoing development of this game mode:  

The new battleground Deephaul Ravine is already in development, though it’s still in the early stages.   Bloody Tokens will be the only currency used in War Mode, and they are already working as intended.   PvP gear scales up in arenas and battlegrounds as usual, but not in War Mode activities. For open-world combat, you can use valor stones and crests to upgrade your gear to the highest item level available outside instanced PvP.   The PvP gear and vendors for Season 1 of The War Within are ready.   The Solo Rated Battleground Blitz mode is currently in development and is expected to be ready for the Closed Beta.

 

 

OTHER FEATURES  

Professions: The profession system in TWW builds on the model introduced in Dragonflight,with several changes and new additions: The Concentration and Ingenuity systems, including the Concentration recharge mechanic, have been fully implemented. Patron NPC orders system and its knowledge point catch-up sub-system have been scripted and only requires some fine-tuning to the order-generation process, as well as the addition of the orders' crafting rewards. Most traits in each specialization tree are now scripted, and all first-craft order rewards have been added. Development also covers nearly all reagent conversions and scavenging systems, such as Darkmoon Card conversions, Scour Through Scrap and more. A significant portion of on-use items and gems with special effects have been scripted (such as Heartseeking Health Injector, Algari Flask/Potion Cauldrons and more)

Development on professions is still underway, with further testing planned. We expect to uncover and fix bugs throughout the Beta. Additionally, more profession-related content will be added during the Beta phase.  

The New Map Legend: This feature will also be ready and available in the closed beta.   Gear Item Level Upgrade System with the new currencies Valorstones and Crests is working.   The new interface feature: Arachnophobia, will be available.   Trading Post: There are no significant changes to the trading post, and it will work as usual.   Great Vault: The Vault will continue to function the same way it does now, but there's a change in the third tab: PvP will no longer be the activity that grants a selectable item. Instead, it will be replaced by "World Activities," which will now include delves.

 

 

As the closed beta approaches, our development and QA teams are working hard to ensure you have the best possible experience. In the meantime, we hope you’re enjoying the current Dragonflight content! We'll be back soon with more news about The War Within! Until then, we wish you a great time on Firestorm! We're grateful for your continued trust and support. The Firestorm Team.  

Greetings, everyone!

SEASON 4

 

DRAGONFLIGHT SEASON 4 - Mythic

The Mythic Dungeon pool for Season 4 has players returning to all of the dungeons introduced with the Dragonflight expansion:

Ruby Life Pools Brackenhide Hollow The Nokhud Offensive Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr Neltharus The Azure Vault Halls of Infusion Algeth'ar Academy

Mythic keystone levels will behave differently from what players have seen in previous seasons with the introduction of Dungeon level squish. More info below. Important: The Weekly Vault will not be available due to season change!  

DRAGONFLIGHT SEASON 4 - PvP (Draconic Gladiator)

Dragonflight Season 4 PvP introduces some new mounts, achievements, and titles that players will be able to earn. The item level cap has been increased. Conquest and Bloody Tokens are being reset with the launch of Season 4. The Dragonflight Season 4 Gladiator mount is the  Draconic Gladiator's Drake. Like previous Dragonflight seasons, Season 4 rewards a Dragonriding Transformation,  Highland Drake: Embodiment of the Draconic Gladiator. With this occasion, our current Season 3 will end on February 16th 2025.

 

 

AWAKENED RAIDS

 

Previous raids are now Awakened and will return offering a higher level of difficulty and better loot!

Every weekly reset, one of the Dragonflight raids will become Awakened for the duration of that week. When a raid becomes Awakened, its difficulty will increase and drop higher item level loot. To see which Dragonflight raid is Awakened for the week, look to the Adventure Guide.

AWAKENED RAIDS ROTATION:

Week 1: Awakened Vault of the Incarnates Week 2: Awakened Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible Week 3: Awakened Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope Week 4: Awakened Vault of the Incarnates Week 5: Awakened Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible Week 6: Awakened Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope Week 7: All Dragonflight Raids will be Awakened.

LOOT:

Raid Finder - 480/489 ilvl Normal - 493/502 ilvl Heroic - 506/515 ilvl Mythic - 519/528 ilvl

REWARDS & ACHIEVEMENTS:  Awakening the Dragonflight Raids Complete all three Awakened raids on Normal difficulty or higher in Dragonflight Season 4. Reward: Voyaging Wilderling Mount

 Heroic: Awakening the Dragonflight Raids Complete all three Awakened raids on Heroic difficulty or higher in Dragonflight Season 4. Reward: Awakened Hero Title

 Mythic: Awakening the Dragonflight Raids Complete all three Awakened raids on Mythic difficulty or higher in Dragonflight Season 4. Reward: Dragonflight Raid Teleports:  Path of the Primal Prison,  Path of the Bitter Legacy,  Path of the Scorching Dream

 

DUNGEON LEVEL SQUISH

 

Dungeon difficulty is being reworked in Season 4! Heroic dungeons will now match Mythic 0 difficulty, while Mythic 0 will scale to M 10 difficulty but with no timer or affixes. Following this pattern, a new 5 will feel like today’s 15, with loot updated accordingly. So here's what will be different for Mythic :

The Mythic system will now have rewards up to level 10. Affixes will be available at  2, 5, and 10. Dungeon ratings will be equivalent to the current system.  

 

UPGRADABLE LEGENDARIES

 

Nasz'uro, the Unbound Legacy and Fyr'alath the Dreamrender will be able to be upgraded to a Season 4 item level using Scales of Awakening bought with Bullions. Legendary items will drop as usual from raids, but players who have previously obtained them can purchase a Scale of Awakening to upgrade their items to the Season 4 ilvls (base is 502 and can be upgraded further through Crests and Flightstones). To begin your legendary upgrade, you'll need to locate the Scale of Awakening. Head over to the Parting Glass Inn in Valdrakken, where you'll find the vendor NPC Iszinormi. This vendor holds the key to unlocking the potential of your legendary weapon. The Scale of Awakening can be purchased from Iszinormi, and it requires 2 Antique Bronze Bullions as currency.  

 

 

                                                        NEW CURRENCIES ANTIQUE BRONZE BULLION The Antique Bronze Bullions are a valuable currency in Season 4. Similar to the Dinars from Shadowlands, you can acquire Bullions by defeating Awakened bosses. 

Use it to buy powerful gear from all Dragonflight raids. You'll be able to earn one Bullion a week per character with the cap rising by one each week. There are four vendors located in the Parting Glass on the east side of Valdrakken. Three of these vendors are dedicated to each of the Dragonflight raids. The fourth vendor exclusively sells cosmetic weapon appearances. Here's what you can buy:

Weapons, trinkets, and cantrip items are being sold for two  Antique Bronze Bullion each. These vendors include the  Scale of Awakening legendary upgrade item also for two  Antique Bronze Bullion. Cosmetic weapon appearances cost one  Antique Bronze Bullion each. These vendor items drop on a new Awakened upgrade track, allowing them to be upgraded all the way to their max Mythic item level.

AWAKENED TEMPOSTONE  Awakened Tempostone can be used to purchase Dragonflight Season 4 Tier set armor. In the Parting Glass on the east side of Valdrakken will be a vendor named Runaagos, the Neurotic Novelist. You can exhange  Awakened Tempostone for a piece of Dragonflight Season 4 Tier set armor. The difficulty of the Awakened raid in which the omni-token was obtained from will influence the item level and upgrade track of the Tier set armor: LFR (Veteran 3/8) - 486 ilvl Normal (Champion 3/8) - 499 ilvl Heroic (Hero 3/6) - 512 ilvl Mythic (Myth 3/4) - 525 ilvl As a bonus, the Revival Catalyst now recharges by one with every weekly reset!  

 

BORIS RETURNS

 

Your favorite Tauren will return for an entire week in Patch 10.2.7! Boost a character to  Level 60 for free,  get some gear to help you along the way, plus other cool perks.

But you must be wise with your choices! Boris can only help a single character on your account.

Each dungeon contains 4 Diagnostic Consoles. Players can interact with these consoles to place orbs of specific colors: Red, Blue, Yellow, or Green on them. For each console with a unique-colored orb placed, one stack of the fortification is removed. When all stacks are removed, the rare's empowerment switches to: Destabilization Protocol: Increases the damage taken by the rare enemy by 20% and also increases the damage they deal by 20%.

The new “Verdant Gladiator” Season brings large PvP changes, new gear, additional item changes, class balances and new ways to upgrade your gear! The item level cap has been increased. Conquest and Bloody Tokens are being reset with the launch of Season 3. With this occasion, our current Season 2 will end on October 20th 2024.

 

LEGENDARY WEAPON - FYR'ALATH, THE DREAM RENDER

 

Fyr'alath is a Legendary Strength weapon intended for Death Knights, Paladins, and Warriors. There are two ways of Fyr'alath the Dreamrender dropping: Personal Loot and Master Loot.

Personal Loot Defeating Fyrakk on any difficulty has a chance to drop Fyr'alath the Dreamrender as personal push loot with higher difficulties having a significantly increased drop chance. Defeating Fyrakk on any difficulty automatically includes the drop chance of all lower difficulties. Bad Luck Protection exists from the start this time with Greater Ember of Fyr'alath and Lesser Ember of Fyr'alath. Master Loot The weapon can still randomly drop from Mythic Fyrakk and can thus be assigned to any member of the kill! Once obtained, an epic questline begins which will eventually allow you to equip the weapon without dying, fortunately. If you want to learn more, check out this Wowhead Guide. Instead of unlocking the questline after the first Mythic Fyrakk kill, we will unlock it 2 weeks after the first Heroic Fyrakk Kill!

 

 

DRAGONFLIGHT CAMPAIGN CONTINUES

 

The Dream calls and you must answer! The Dragonflight Campaign continues into the Emerald Dream as we try to stop Fyrakk, cut down his influence, and explore this mythical zone.

The questline starts with Call of the Dream, where you will meet with everyone by the Ancient Bought in Ohn'ahran Plains.

In there, you will meet with Alexstrasza, Ysera, Merithra, Vyranoth, Tyrande, Kalecgos, Khadgar, and the Khan Matra of the Maruuk Centaur. One of the most notable rewards of this campaign is the new mount Flourishing Whimsydrake.

Your efforts will be rewarded with battle pets, achievements, and flightstones, making this a delightful and rewarding activity for all players.  

 

MYTHIC FLEX

 

Mythic Flex is exactly what you think it is, it enables flexible player groups from 10 players, up to the default of 20 players. Just like normal and heroic! This feature enables lots of potential especially for smaller guilds, but not limited to them. It's a feature where you'll no longer have to rely on 20 players to start a mythic raid, instead you can do it with your small group of friends.

SO WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?

First of all, we should clarify what is Mythic Flex and what is not...

Mythic Flex will NEVER scale below 10 players. Instance limit is still 20 players. Mythic Flex is intended to remove the mandatory raid size of 20 players, NOT to reduce the difficulty and flavour of Mythic! Loot is adjusted based on raid size. Creatures health and some specific mechanics and spells will scale based on raid size. It is NOT a difficulty nerf. It may appear easier for a very few players just because it's easier to coordinate 10 players than 20. Mythic will still be a place where only the best raiders can compete.

Although Mythic Flex is not a new concept for us, (successfully implemented on Felsong 8 months ago), its success and future will depend on your feedback gathered over the span of the next few weeks. Our intention is to make the game better, thus your feedback will play a decisive role as we'll closely keep an eye on it.

WHAT IS CHANGED THEN?

Health, first of all. Every creature inside the mythic raid will scale their HP based on raid size. Then, some mechanics and spells. A generic example would be mechanics where a specific number of players must soak an ability.

Here is a list with all spells and mechanics changed to work on flex for Aberrus Mythic:

Amalgamation Chamber: - Gloom Conflagration: required players & split damage scaling

Assault of the Zaqali:  - Catastrophic Slam: required players & split damage scaling

Rashok the Elder: - Charged Smash: required players & split damage scaling - Doom Flames: spawn count is now scaling

Echo of Neltharion: - Volcanic Heart: debuff count scaling - Sunder Reality: Portals breaking scaling with player count

 

 

INTRODUCING MYTHIC FLEX

In our continuous effort to offer you the best gaming experience, we'd like to propose a new and unique feature.

Mythic Flex is exactly what you think it is, it enables flexible player groups from 10 players, up to the default of 20 players. Just like normal and heroic! This feature enables lots of potential especially for smaller guilds, but not limited to them. It's a feature where you'll no longer have to rely on 20 players to start a mythic raid, instead you can do it with your small group of friends.

Assault of the Zaqali:  - Catastrophic Slam: required players & split damage scaling

Rashok the Elder: - Charged Smash: required players & split damage scaling - Doom Flames: spawn count is now scaling

Echo of Neltharion: - Volcanic Heart: debuff count scaling - Sunder Reality: Portals breaking scaling with player count

Finally,  Mythic Flex will be live tomorrow, July 24th for Aberrus. And with this occasion we also implemented a 90 seconds window during which disconnected players can relog while a raid encounter is in progress. Once the timer expires, offline players will be teleported outside the raid if there is an encounter in progress.

Looking forward for your feedback. K0s, Firestorm Admin
