NPCs Will Send Work Orders in The War Within

During the Blizzard Content Creator Summit, developers Sean McCann and Michael Bybee revealed some insight on World of Warcraft's The War Within expansion, giving more clarity on Delves, new mechanics, and features, as well as a little bit of information on Early Access. 

Taliesin and Evitel cover the latest news in The Weekly Reset. This week they cover a possible timeline for the release of the War Within as well as the latest from the War Within Alpha.

Collectors rejoice, completing a quest in The War Within now awards all appearance rewards, regardless of weapon or armor type! Earn plate cosmetics on your Monk or leather on your Priest, just from finishing the same quest. What's more, there's also a new dropdown menu that allows players to swap between classes in the appearance tab — helping players see what transmog they might/not have without changing characters! Note this is sorted by class rather than armor type, so exclusive cosmetics like the elusive Kor'kron Dark Shaman Armor won't show for Hunter.

Blizzard held a Content Creator Summit and we participated in a group interview where a couple of kindly devs addressed questions from Content Creators. The devs for this interview were:

We've datamined some new mounts in today's War Within alpha build--Nerubian Beetles and Treasure Basilisks! For even more TWW mounts, check out last week's model datamining, including Wild Unicorns and Fireflies! War Within Alpha Mount Models

Wowhead's The War Within Talent Calculator is now updated for the latest Alpha build including Fire Mage, Windwalker Monk, Warlock, Fel-Scarred DH and more! Plan, theorycraft, and share your talent builds including all Hero specs! Wowhead's The War Within Talent Calculator

Blizzard has outlined the goals of the Fire Mage Rework, now live on the War Within Alpha! They want to address maintenance buffs, and allow for more choices in AoE!

Here are the datamining War Within Alpha class changes in this week's build!

Blizzard has posted development notes on the General and Affliction Talent Tree reworks in The War Within, noting that they want Malefic Rapture to be the go-to spender for both single-target and multi-target situations.

The War Within is packed full of new cosmetic Transmogs to earn, so finding some linked to the Professions system is a no-brainer! Players will be able to learn a new Artisan's Ensemble in The War Within — but only after putting in some work, first.

The first The War Within Alpha added only a few toys, mostly tied to professions and Warbands. As it is the first build, it is likely that many more will become available later.
