Don't expect a miraculous uptick in TBC Classic Gold visual quality -- these beam tracing effects only use to shadows, and that means you are going to find a softer, more realistic regions of darkness when you're using this option.

If you have been having trouble getting Shadowlands' ray-tracing to kick on, Blizzard's got some help on the official forums. You're going to want a GPU that supports ray tracing tier 1.1, with the newest drivers, in addition to the May 2020 upgrade for Windows 10 -- also, of course, you'll need to be using DirectX 12.

As announced earlier this week, the GeForce 452.06 driver provides added support for the WoW Shadowlands beta. You can head to the Blizzard website to opt-in for an opportunity at beta accessibility, too.

The folks at Wowhead have caught a load of contrast shots to reveal what those ray-traced shadows look like. It's a shame WoW ray tracing will not go beyond shadows for now, since the stylised design and simple character models would appear incredible beneath the spotlight of exceptionally realistic lighting.

Blizzard first detailed Shadowlands at Blizzcon 2019. The growth includes five new zones for players to explore, a pumped leveling system which compresses the old you to 60 levels and new customization options, including the option to modify the sex of your personality without paying a fee.

Alongside a launch date, Blizzard shared Afterlives: Bastion, the first of four animated shorts designed to expand the story of Shadowlands. The brief centers onto a familiar face in the Warcraft universe: Uther. If you played Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, you'll understand the former Paladin as mentor of Arthas Menethil, the personality who'd become one of Warcraft's most infamous villains.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands big pre-expansion event is dwell on the test servers and it's unleashed an unfathomably large zombie plague on players, turning Azeroth's capital cities into undead wastelands. Players that get within arm's reach can also be infected, providing them particular zom-bilities and allowing them attack other players to spread the infection.

To be clear, this is not happening from the live version of the game but on its public test servers. It's here that Blizzard evaluations upcoming changes to the match, such as the coming level cap squish (max level players will now only be level 50, with all the new level cap being 60 when Shadowlands releases) along with the overhauled new player experience. But, sometime later this fall, this event will start on live servers--and buy WOW Classic TBC Gold when it's anything like what is happening now, it is going to be a bloodbath.
