We are aware of an issue that is affecting our authentication servers, which may result in slow or failed login attempts. We are currently investigating the cause and will provide updates as they are available.

With the launch of Dragonflight approaching, we are in the process of activating the air storm for players who are still working on this part of the event.

The option to disable XP that was available for level 1-49 characters and was scheduled to become available for level 1-59 with the launch of Dragonflight later this month.

A hotfix is currently being worked on which will make it active for levels 1-59 ahead of the release.

Some recent changes were made to Solo Shuffle. As these are active in the beta, we want to make sure everybody who wants to take part in this test on Friday are aware of them:

Changes to Tanks in Solo Shuffle: Changes to Tanks in Solo Shuffle

Healing/Dampening Changes in Arenas and Solo Shuffle: ...

Recently, some changes were made in the Dragonflight beta which increased player health by 40% at level 70. We have been evaluating what effect this would have on the power of healing in PvP and we wanted to provide an update for that.

In internal playtests, we have seen the healing has been too powerful in PvP scenarios. Alongside the above player health change, we saw that talent trees have a lot of disparity of power that some abilities have in PvE vs PvP, such as Overgrowth for Restoration druids.

With that context, we discussed several options for tuning healing, including using PvP multipliers on an enormous number of abilities, but we felt that adjusting via a flat value would be the easiest to understand from a player point of view due to its consistency and would also target personal survivability abilities at the same time. This would also give us the option to address outlier abilities with PvP multipliers.

For instanced Arena, matches will now start ...

Hello,

We have been following the conversation about tanks in our new PvP mode, Solo Shuffle. Tanks have long been a design challenge for PvP as their abilities and tuning are intended to allow them to survive against multiple enemies or Dungeon and Raid bosses. In Battleground modes, like Capture the Flag, where a large team killing a specific player is the primary objective, the existing design for tanks can work well. One team needs to coordinate their burst and crowd control against the other team’s tank and healers use of their defensive abilities and positioning. But, in the case of Arena, the general survivability of tanks (particularly when they are also good at dealing damage or healing their teammates) can be a frustrating experience to play against.

Our first attempt at addressing this problem in Solo Shuffle was to replace healers with tanks in matches where they were involved and to pair strong off-healing tanks (specifically Protection Paladins) against e...

Summoning WoW SUPERFANS!

We’re casting for a new trivia show to decide once and for all who is the ultimate WoW superfan. If you are chosen as a cast member, you will get to battle it out in a high stakes trivia game, and the winner will face off against Blizzard’s very own lore master, Sean Copeland!

If you think you’ve got what it takes, fill out the casting questionnaire below:

SUBMISSION LINK >>> https://forms.gle/bs5zRNsTMo5AEo8o6

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:
Potential cast members must be active World of Warcraft players 18 years of age or older residing in the Southern California area.

Some issues were found which affect the Season 1 Rated PvP rewards. Due to these issues, the cloak, weapon enchant, and tabard rewards will not be available for their respective Duelist and Elite ranks until later in the season. At the start of the season, these rewards will also not be listed in-game for these ranks.

Players who meet the necessary rating requirements for Duelist and Elite ranks will receive their appropriate rewards retroactively once they are implemented and listed in-game in a future update.

Thank you for your understanding.

In Dragonflight, we made a change to our PvP gear that grants the maximum PvP item level of a piece of gear immediately at all ranks so that players are on a more even competitive footing within instanced PvP. Due to this change, we have removed the increased item level bonus from being active in War Mode situations, and players will notice the change to item tooltips starting in this week’s Beta build. Players can continue to spend Honor to upgrade Aspirant and Gladiator gear item level outside of PvP instances, but the item level in PvP instances will be unchanged.

Welcome aboard Sanq!

Sorry for the confusion! They are changing cadence, not type, so the original post has been updated with: “Some (previously weekly) World Quests have become daily…”

Hello,

Some changes were recently made that affected Reputation and Renown. As we have added different sources of Reputation, it became harder to reward amounts that felt meaningful. As a result, we made a variety of changes to Reputation rewards alongside increases to the Reputation needed per Renown rank from 1000 to 2500.

Here is a breakdown of some of these changes:

• Some (previously weekly) World Quests have become daily, while the frequency of some others were increased to twice per week.
• We’ve lowered the Renown level requirements of certain activities, such as climbing quests, cataloging quests, and the Siege of Dragonbane, so that players hit the unlock sooner.
• Level-up quests have been adjusted so that players are reaching max level with most of the activities unlocking.
• The Weekly Wrapper quest now changes slightly each week. The Reputation requirement will go up, but the overall increased Reputation gains should result...
