No it is how you unlock the nodes on the new chart. Existing and new azerite armor though basically does not need it. All the main powers are auto unlocked with only maybe the +5 ilevel still needing a specific ilevel.So is AP completely useless now in this new system?
I am actually surprised from one of the "influencer" interviews it sounds like the raid and new dungeon are coming within a couple weeks of 8.2 going live. Also it does not sounds like they are time gating access to nazjatar that you will be able to access most if not all the island immediately. The mechagon stuff sounds interesting curious how it plays out though.
Yeah I was genuinely surprised at that as well. They said both the raid and the dungeon are launching 2 weeks after the patch comes out, which works for me cause it gives enough time to get your neck up + do the rest of the content first.
Considering usually raid comes.. like 2 fucking months after the patch.
I still don't believe them on the timegating but we'll see. Maybe they're being honest? They didn't timegate the Xal'atath quest chain so maybe.

A couple weeks seems reasonable. Gives you a patch day to do bug fixes if needed and let shit settle down a bit before kicking the raid off. waiting a month+ after the patch is a bit too much of a disconnect.It's quite possible they're finally going against the "patch is out but raid is not" trend since it seems to drive players away from content, then fails to get them back when raid content is available.
Housing is a big topic at Blizzard. The developers are still thinking about how to implement it so that it does not feel so clumsy.
So after this long and now they are considering it. They could have made even more money from sales of all sorts of art assets and they are now finally really thinking about it. This should have been implemented back with the garrisons. It might be a little bit to late now.
As long they don't make the same mistakes FFXIV did with housing. Let one person own multiple plots/houses and not have enough houses per server.Honestly I think they have been considering this since almost the begining as there used to be a portal in stormwind that seemed to be for a housing district. I think it is a combination of figuring out how they want to do it and probably when to do so. It likely was one of their bring people back to wow emergency buttons to hit that they knew they could get a lot of resubs on so I am not shocked if this is getting talked about more now. Also as technology as come along what they could do with it now is a LOT more robust than what they would have been able to do so previously.
Patch looks decent enough I guess. Unfortunately I can't come back because I swore up and down I'd take a dick in the ass before I came back to WOW while Fagicosta was at the helm and you can miss me with that gay shit.
Housing was always a thing they considered, I wouldn't hold my breath about it.
