Since the Battle for Azeroth was released in mid-August, it has received both possive and passive voice. Actually, bugs and issues are there and Blizzard keeps making further improvements. And patch 8.1 show some of Blizzard's sincerity. It brings the faction war back into focus and some big improvements to core systems are coming along too. With these efforts, will players come back and will they spend money to buy WoW gold for fixed content? Follow Raiditem.com to know what Blizzard have done in patch 8.1.

Tides of Vengeance
When 8.1 launches, it's going to come along with its own chapter name, this time Tides of Vengeance. As the name implies, the faction war between Horde and Alliance that has largely been on hold since August, is coming back into play in a big way.

The war will be front and center in several ways, not the least of which is the raid on Zuldazar, the most ancient city on Azeroth and home to the Zandalari trolls that are being courted by the Horde to join the fight. Led by Jaina Proudmoore, the Alliance military and the Kul Tiran naval forces will invade the city.

Siege of Zuldazar

It is a 9-boss raid that will feature completely different experiences for Horde and Alliance. The Alliance will begin in the harbor where they will strike a preemptive attack on the Zandalari fleet. Once on shore, they will fight up the pyramid, ultimately to King Rastakhan himself. Horde players will start on the other side of the city after learning of the attack. They will fight to Rastakhan before heading down to the docks taking on Alliance bosses on the way to a confrontation with Jaina herself.

Once a player has completed the raid for one faction, they'll be able to speak with scouts to get information about the opposing faction's activities and can then fight the three unique faction bosses on the other side, presumably in some kind of sequence. How exactly this will work remains unknown.

Crucible of Storms
It is also part of 8.1, though it will come later in the patch cycle to give progression groups enough time to work through Zuldazar. This mini-raid will bring the Naga, Queen Azshara and N'Zoth into play, though what roles they will take and how it leads into the future of BfA is unclear.

Other systems and features seeing updates, additions or tweaks:
- Class updates, Azerite traits, new profession recipes, Gnomeregan Pet Battle Dungeon and reputations (Champions of Azeroth!).
- Faction-based transmog items will be unlocked account-wide on hitting exalted
- All reputations will be added together across account
- Kul Tiran and Zandalari are almost ready to be unlocked - probably after the raids where the bonding becomes complete with each faction. No new reputation to be gained either.
- Two new islands - Jorundall (Vrykul themed) and Havenwood (an abandoned Gilnean city) - these will come with new mechanics (control points, hold-out, etc.) to make the island more dynamic.
- Systems updates - island spawning improvements incoming.

The 8.1 content update for World of Warcraft's seventh expansion will continue Battle for Azeroth's War Campaign. The patch contains new raids, Incursions, new Island expeditions, heritage armor for Dwarves and Blood Elves, system improvements and much more. Want to know more news about World of Warcraft?
