Folgend noch ein paar erwähnenswerte Neuheiten, die bisher nicht bekannt waren. So gibt es ein Update für das Mondfest, welches allerdings erst nächstes Jahr stattfindet, und man darf am Ritual der Monde teilnehmen, um permanente Blumenkronen freizuschalten, die das ganze Jahr lang transmoggt werden können. Zudem wird das Schwarzmarktauktionshaus aktualisiert und mit neuen Items bestückt. Welche genau, das ist bisher nicht klar. Auf dem epischen Schlachtfeld Ashran kann man außerdem ein neues Artefakt ausbuddeln und viele Quests der Kriegskampagne haben keine Rufvoraussetzungen mehr.
New Character Models: Worgen and Goblins
WoW 15th Anniversary Event
Jubiläumsgeschenk
New Raids: Memories of Azeroth
Chromie has separated the strands of time, allowing you to go back and relive epic raid encounters from Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and Cataclysm. Each of these limited-time raids will feature three iconic bosses, and they'll be available as their own wings through the Raid Finder. To enter the raid, you need a minimum item level of 380. Players who complete all three wings will receive the achievement Memories of Fel, Frost and Fire which grants the Obsidian Worldbreaker, a Black Dragonflight mount inspired by Todesschwinge.
Return to Alterac Valley of Olde
Run down your enemies, raze their fortifications, and exchange the tokens you loot from their corpses to summon mighty reinforcements in Korrak's Revenge, a throwback Battleground inspired by the earliest days of Alteractal. Players who participate in Korrak's Revenge and complete the Alterac Valley of Olde achievement can earn two new mounts: the Stormpike Battle Ram (Alliance) and the Frostwolf Snarler (Horde).
New Quests
The War Campaign Concludes
Tensions continue to rise between Saurfang, Anduin, and the Banshee Queen Sylvanas. Discover the fate of the Horde and Alliance in the final chapter of the War Campaign.
Magni Bronzebart
With N'Zoth's imminent emergence, you must seek help from an unlikely ally: the Black Prince, Wrathion. Level 120 players should seek out Magni in the Chamber of Heart to continue the story and discover the Black Dragonflight's whereabouts.
Making it Easier to Party Up with Friends
Introducing Party Sync
Party Sync is a new feature that makes it easier than ever for friends to party up and quest together. When players activate Party Sync, everyone in the party becomes aligned to the same quest state and phase. By mousing over a quest in your tracker, you can see who's on a given quest, what their progress is, and who's ready to turn it in. You'll also have access to a “replay quest” feature that allows players who have already completed certain quests to replay those quests with their friends for rewards that are appropriate to their current level, regardless of the original level of the quest. Quests can be replayed for rewards once a day.
Relaxing Level Restrictions
We've also relaxed level restrictions, so lower-level players can queue for instanced content (such as Battlegrounds and dungeons) in their level range, and higher-level players can choose to join them by having their level scaled down. Please note that unlike Timewalking, when your level is scaled, you will temporarily lose access to abilities and powers (such as Azerite Traits and over-level spell, abilities, talents, and trinkets' effects) with requirements that exceed your reduced level.

Tendenziell wirkt es aber so das wir dieses Jahr keinen Patch 8.3 erwarten brauchen und das Patch 8.2.5 wohl schon den kommenden Mittwoch (25.09.2019) erscheint.
Ansonsten scheinen in dem Patch viele viele Kleinigkeiten drinnen zu sein. Und der Abschluss der Kriegskampagne ohne weiteren Raid. Da bin ich storymäßig sehr gespannt.
