Patch 10.0.2 was the content pre-patch for Dragonflight, the second of two patches released before the expansion itself. It released on 15 November 2022 with the pre-patch world event Tempest Unleashed, early access start for Dracthyr Evokers for those who pre-ordered, the Forbidden Reach zone was opened (dracthyr starting zone), and the level 60 dungeon Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr was available.[1]

It also included the rest of the content for the expansion itself, with the expansion releasing two weeks later on 28 November 2022 and opening up the Dragon Isles to the players.

Meet the Dracthyr Evoker

Meet the Dracthyr Evoker

Players will menace their foes (or empower their allies) as the new dracthyr Evoker, World of Warcraft's first-ever race and class combination. Able to switch between a humanoid visage and a fearsome draconic form, the dracthyr are highly mobile, and their unique Evoker class can specialize in ranged damage-dealing or in aiding their allies as a healer by harnessing the mystical gifts of dragonkind. They'll awake from their slumber in the Forbidden Reach, where they'll take up their training to join the forces of dragonkind in the defense of the isles. [LEARN MORE]

During this event you can also obtain the  [Against the Elements] Feat of Strength, and the  [Unstable Elemental Confluence] heirloom trinket. [LEARN MORE]

Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr Dungeon

Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr

Uldaman is an ancient titan facility where, long ago, allies of the heroic Keeper Tyr hid the Discs of Norgannon.

After returning to the Dragon Isles, Queen Alexstrasza learned of another disc locked away within Uldaman... one that holds the memories of Tyr himself. Believing this knowledge is needed to restore the power of the Aspects, Alexstrasza has asked her mortal allies to brave the perils of Uldaman and recover Tyr's memories to secure the future of dragonkind.

Quests

  • Removed the ability for players who have not started Threads of Fate to access the system.
    • Developers' note: The goal with Threads of Fate was to help alleviate the linear path of Shadowlands for alts as it was the only way for players to level from 50 to 60. Now that Shadowlands has been moved into Chromie time and Chromie Time's level cap has been increased to 60, players have a multitude of methods to reach level 60. Players currently in Threads of fate can continue through it, but the option will not be available for any new characters.
      We do not have plans to do similar removals with Dragonflight's Adventure Mode in future expansions. Threads of Fate is a choice to use in Shadowlands and irreversibly changes a player's character once it is chosen. It previously created two different experiences of Shadowlands, which would double to four with both of the level up and Threads of Fate being accessible within Chromie time. Adventure Mode in Dragonflight is an overlay to the level up experience and is always on once it is earned regardless of decisions the player makes. 

User Interface and Accessibility

  • Silver dragon portrait border added back for rare elite mobs.
  • The Dungeon Journal now indicates if a loot drop is very rare.
  • Profession Trainers added back to the minimap filters.
  • Group management frame has been fixed to appear for all group types.
  • Names added back to the Trading pane.
  • The backpack can no longer be assigned to a sorting category. This is a temporary change to resolve a bug, and we expect to bring it back in the future.
  • AddOn API: Button highlight textures can be cleared. 
  • New Macro Conditional: Known
    • Use [known:] to check for a talent's learned status. Works with names and spell IDs. Works with #showtooltip. Use [noknown:] to reverse the logic.
    • Example:
        1. showtooltip
          /cast [known:Execution Sentence] Execution Sentence; [known:384052] Wake of Ashes; Templar's Verdict
          #showtooltip [known:265187] Summon Demonic Tyrant; [known:Guillotine] Guillotine
  • Talents Panel
    • History nodes are more obviously marked.
    • Mousing over an active talent highlights where it is on your action bar.
    • PvP talents now show an error if a prerequisite talent is not active.
    • Arrowheads and lines are smaller to reduce visual clutter.
    • Several script and slash commands have been added for accessibility and general use:
