Patch 7.3 Dressing Room UI Improvements - Class Themed Backgrounds and Resizable Window
We love transmog here at Wowhead so we were excited to read that Reddit user Azshayla noticed that the
in-game Dressing Room has class-specific backgrounds
on the 7.3 PTR.
Many of these backgrounds represent the class hall but a few are different such as Icecrown for Death Knights, Black Rook Hold for Rogues, Throne of the Elements for Shaman, and Shadowmoon Burial Grounds for Warlocks.

Patch 7.3 Argus Story Questline - Chapter 1 Preview
At the beginning of 7.3, all players will be embarking on a questline to unlock and explore portions of Argus. This questline is very similar to an expansion launch which will take you from quest hub to quest hub while learning about the current state of Argus and its inhabitants. We've created a video of the start of the questline and also linked to each of the quests in our database. In the future, additional quest series will unlock!
As part of this questline, the Vindicaar, your spaceship base, will gain special zone-wide abilities to choose between:
Light's Judgment
and
Summon Lightforged Warframe
. More abilities may be unlocked through future zones, such as
Grant Call to the Light
,
Choose Vindicaar Cloaking Device
,
Grant Vindicaar Teleport Beacon
, and
Fel Heart Bond
.

Upcoming Feral Druid Changes in Patch 7.3
We haven't seen a ton of class changes on the Patch 7.3 PTR yet, but Blizzard has just announced some major updates are in store for Feral Druids including a 33% damage increase.
These changes are aimed at talent balance, reducing how punishing the rotation is, and addressing how talents scale with baseline damage increases to the spec. Some abilities are buffed and nerfed, while other talents are swapping rows completely such as
Savage Roar
moved to lvl 90 row. (from lvl 75 row).

Patch 7.3 PTR - Datamined Broadcast Text Dialogue (Major Spoilers)
As part of today's 7.3 PTR update, we've datamined all the broadcast text--dialogue that will appear at some point in your character's chat window. We've picked out the particularly interesting phrases related to the raid and famous characters.
Do note this is all based on early 7.3 PTR datamining, and may be subject to change
--plus playing through all the content on the PTR, as it opens, will add much more context to these quotes. We recommend checking out the
Argus Encounter Descriptions
to see how these famous NPCs may fit together.

Yrelka in Patch 7.3 - Main Universe Yrel?
The Patch 7.3 PTR adds the NPC
