Blizzard Thanks Shadowlands Alpha Testers with Personalized Activity Infographics

Blizzard Entertainment emailed a thank you letter to all Shadowlands Alpha Testers, and I am surprised to say that they have included a personalized overall infographic stats of some of the top activities we participated in.

There is a lot of info here. I submited 168 bug reports, and completed 2908 quests. Well, I did play Exile’s Reach with all the classes, and then a few extra runs. The Shadowlands Intro Questline at least 3 times. Played both Alliance and Horde. Still, geez… that’s a lot of quests.

It feels like a diploma, and I hope those who participated feel appreciated by Blizzard Entertainment. “Tear to my eye. My genius has been recognized!” — Junkrat

Night Fae Campaign

The Night Fae Campaign explores the lore of Ardenweald and the White Queen, their purpose, and extends to the Night Warrior and the fate of the Bwonsamdi/Mueh’zala conflict.

Note: Keep in mind this is from Beta 35282. I won’t be able to add the entire campaign because a full character wipe is coming at the end of July 2020. Click the video title to launch YouTube. Once there, click the gear icon to select 1080HD and Fullscreen.

CHAPTER 3: DA BOSS

Bwonsamdi asks for your help to investigate Loa seeds. You discover that Mueh’zala has been extracting the spirits of the Loa from the seeds long before their time to emerge to infuse them with bad mojo. Inform the White Queen and request her army forces to halt Mueh’zala’s minions.

A good way to earn reputation with the Ascended, the Wild Hunt, the Undying Army or the Court of Harvesters is to complete daily quests.

The daily quests are given by Ta’lan the Antiquary and Finder Ta’sul. Both are members of the Cartel Ba. These are commonly known to us as Ethereals.

There were two Shadowlands Beta builds released today. The first one (35256) was released on July 22 around 6pm ET. The servers were offline until 9pm ET. At that point servers went online for a few seconds and suddenly displayed Incompatible version — signaling a new build was available.

Build 35282 was deployed, and I started to check out for any new in-game updates. For datamined stuff, you know where to go. This is what I found in-game.
