Blizzard has already revealed some details about Patch 8.2 of World of Warcraft. There we will meet Mechagnomes and a dungeon that will fill the entire evening.
Most of the details about Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance were already known before BlizzCon. That’s why Blizzard spoke more extensively about Patch 8.2.
This patch will be named “Rise of Azshara” and will continue the story surrounding Azshara, the Naga, and the Old Gods.
But for many, one of the “subplots” is much more interesting. Because in Tiragarde Sound, a gate opens at the junkyard leading to a new city of gnomes: Mechagon.
What is Mechagon? Mechagon is a new area that will be accessible in Patch 8.2. The area is inhabited by Mechagnomes. Mechagnomes were once “ordinary” gnomes, but have replaced more and more body parts with machines over the course of their lives – they are basically androids and cyborgs. The more body parts became machines, the higher the reputation of the respective gnome in society.
You can see what the Mechagnomes look like here:
Mega-Dungeon is coming: In Mechagon, there will be a new dungeon that the developers refer to as a “Megadungeon”.
It will be compared in scope to Karazhan and has 8 different bosses. Players can thus spend several hours in the dungeon and really let loose. Perfect for an evening full of action with a guild group (best made up of gnomes or goblins).
Mechagnomes as an allied race? It quickly became clear that Mechagnomes would be ideal as an allied race, as they visually stand out with many mechanical upgrades. However, Blizzard has not confirmed this yet and likely will not do so in the coming weeks. Nevertheless, fans’ hopes have been raised.
Are you looking forward to the Mechagnomes and Mechagon? Or are you not interested in such a gnome story at all?
