World of Warcraft’s Patch 11.1.5 will go live on April 22 following server maintenance. Dubbed Nightfall, the 11.1.5 update will include class balance tuning in both PvE and PvP content, new world activities, and quality-of-life additions. One of the majorfeatures of Patch 11.1.5 is the Cooldown Manager, which may serve as an in-game alternative to mods like WeakAuras. After activating the Cooldown Manager in the Options menu, new bars will show on the user interface. These bars can then be customized to tell players when powerful spells and abilities, such as the Paladin’s Avenging Wrath or the Warrior’s Recklessness, are ready.
Ahead of Nightfall’s April 22 launch,World of Warcrafthas revealed a new companion pet for players to add to their menageries.World of Warcraftplayers can add the Beetriz battle pet to their collections by participating in an upcoming Twitch Drops campaign that begins on Tuesday, April 22, at 1:00 PM Eastern and ends on Tuesday, May 20, at 1:00 PM Eastern. Beetriz is a yellow and black beetle that often gets mistaken for a bumblebee.
World of Warcraft Adds Beetriz Pet as a Twitch Drop
According to Blizzard, players who watch at least four hours ofWorld of Warcraftcontent from participating Twitch channels will automatically have Beetriz sent to their Collections tab. Players can also watch different channels at different times to get the four hours of watch time required to obtain the new pet while the Twitch Drops campaign is active.
Much likeTock the Clocker Spaniel and other battle pets obtained via Twitch Drops,World of Warcraftplayers must connect their Twitch and Battle.net accounts before any watch time can be accrued towards the new reward. Players can do this from their Battle.net account page on a web browser and by selecting the option to link with Twitch. Additionally, Beetriz is exclusive toThe War Withinand is not available inWorld of Warcraft: Classic.
Between the new Twitch Drop and variousrewards thatWorld of Warcraftplayers can earn via the Nightfall campaign, Patch 11.1.5 will have plenty of content for fans to consume. What Blizzard will do during Patch 11.1.5 to keep the momentum going remains to be seen.
