Corruption Will be Removed in the Shadowlands Prepatch

During his
PandaTV interview
yesterday, Game Director Ion Hazzikostas confirmed that Corruptions will completely removed in the 9.0
Shadowlands
prepatch, while Essences and Azerite Powers will only stop working in
Shadowlands
content. While technically the start of expansion, prepatch is the roughly month-long period of transition between the two expansions. During this time, new
features
such as class changes and character customization are available to players, but none of the new
content
such as being able to level up or enter the new expansion zones are enabled.
Keep in mind that we do not currently have a date for
Shadowlands
, but we have been told it will
launch this fall
, which runs between September 22 and December 21st.
So here's a little sneak preview: Corruption is completely going away in the 9.0 prepatch, so as soon as 9.0 drops. Because canonically N'Zoth is dead, we have destroyed the Old God, his corruption has been cleansed from Azeroth. We may preserve a legacy grayed out tooltip on the gear, but it's a mix of moving the story line forward and frankly the game is pretty broken right now - we know the game is pretty broken right now - part of why that's been ok is that we know it's for a short period of time; there's no way to really deal with someone who has, you know, 100% crit rate and all of that stuff going into new content. Enjoy the silly season, but post squish we're going to get back to a normalized space and we'll retune all the content so that people can do everything that they're accustomed to doing. If you could kill N'Zoth with all your corruption before 9.0, you'll be able to do it at max level in 9.0, we don't want to change that.
This can be confirmed by looking at items within our database, as MOTHER's preserved corruptions such as
变质的污染物
have all become unusable
变质的污染物
.
He further elaborated that Essences and Azerite Powers are not being removed, but will not function in new content. While his words alone don't directly address max level content which doesn't physically take place within the Shadowlands like Timewalking or PvP, the intent is clear in that Essences and Azerite Powers are not meant to be used in any max level content in the Shadowlands expansion. We might get away with using it in Timewalking, which already has pretty relaxed restrictions, but the likelihood of them working in level 51+ PvP or any competitive form of content that doesn't physically exist within the Shadowlands is extremely unlikely.
Directly related, Essences and Azerite armor will continue to work. However when you go into the Shadowlands, the link between the Heart of Azeroth and the planet Azeroth is basically separate - so that will disable your Essences, it will disable the Azerite Powers on your gear while you're in the Shadowlands. If you come back to Battle for Azeroth content, they'll still function there - if you wanna go run old content for transmog or whatever, we're not completely pulling it out of the game like we did with Artifacts, but there's as story reason why it doesn't function there. You'll replace your shoulders, armor, helm pretty quickly; if you have a high level Heart of Azeroth, you'll probably still be wearing that for stats all the way to max level though.
