World of Warcraft: Shadowlands big pre-expansion event is live on the test servers

Do not expect a miraculous uptick in visual quality -- those ray tracing effects just apply to shadows, so you're going to find a softer, more realistic areas of WOW Burning Crusade Classic Gold darkness when you are making use of the choice.

You're going to want a GPU that supports ray tracing tier 1.1, using the latest drivers, in addition to the May 2020 upgrade for Windows 10 -- and, of course, you'll need to be using DirectX 12.

You can head to the Blizzard site to opt-in for a chance at beta accessibility, too.

The folks at Wowhead have captured a load of comparison shots to show what people ray-traced shadows look like. It is a pity WoW ray tracing will not go past shadows for now, since the stylised design and simple character models would look incredible beneath the spotlight of extremely realistic lighting.

Blizzard first detailed Shadowlands at Blizzcon 2019. The expansion includes five new zones for players to explorea revamped leveling system which compresses the old you to 60 levels and new customization options, including the choice to modify the gender of your personality without paying a commission.

The brief centers on a familiar face in the Warcraft universe: Uther. In case you played Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, you'll know the prior Paladin as mentor of Arthas Menethil, the character who'd become one of Warcraft's most infamous villains.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands big pre-expansion event is live on the test servers and it has unleashed an unfathomably big zombie plague on players, turning Azeroth's capital cities into undead wastelands. Hundreds of zombies are stalking the streets, devouring any NPC they can find--even including a few that offer quests--and turning them into the undead. Players who get within arm's reach can also be infected, so giving them special zom-bilities and letting them attack other players to spread the infection. Obviously, Azeroth is in utter chaos.

To be clear, this isn't occurring in the live version of the game but on its public test servers. It's here that Blizzard evaluations upcoming modifications to the match, such as the coming level cap squish (maximum level players will only be level 50, together with all the new level cap being 60 if Shadowlands releases) and the overhauled new participant experience. Butsometime after this fall, this event will start on live servers--and cheap TBC Classic Gold if it is anything like what is happening now, it is going to be a bloodbath.
