In order to address issues impacting the game service, we’ve temporarily closed Black Temple.
We intend to deploy fixes for it and then re-open the instance during scheduled weekly maintenance (on Tuesday, June 6 in this region).
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
A little while ago, the fix was deployed for this. Upon login, the game will now award the missing Arena points to player-characters who did not receive them.
This fix may not be apparent to player-characters who have been logged in for the last hour or more. Because of caching, those player-characters may need to stay logged out for several minutes before logging back in will pick up the Arena points.
Thank you!
We are aware of an issue where players are receiving Honor Points instead of Arena Points.
We’re working on a fix that will award the missing Arena Points.
Today, members of the WoW Community Council met with Classic devs to talk about the development of current content in Wrath Classic, as both a retrospective on Ulduar and a look forward to the Call of the Crusade.
Please feel free to continue the discussion here, and ask any follow-up questions that you might have.
With how close we are to the start of the season, we do not want to have these feel required for those still progressing or competing in the top tier content. They will be disabled in instanced content throughout the game.
Greetings.
We want to take a moment to talk about WoW Token in Wrath of the Lich King Classic.
The best way to start is to simply say that this wasn’t something we arrived at lightly. For the entirety of Classic so far, the WoW Classic team has been very resistant to the idea of adding WoW Token to any form of Classic in the Western regions (NA and EU). When WoW Classic started in 2019, adding something like token felt unimaginable to us, and that continued to be true for us–even late into Burning Crusade Classic–for a few reasons:
Just want to note that this fix becomes effective after you use the trinket one more time at the Oathstone of your choice.
Just want to be very clear–
The final chapter for the Embers of Neltharion questline will open up to all players, regardless of their personal raid progression, when Scalecommander Sarkareth becomes available in Raid Finder.
That story is related to the end of the raid. So in order for players to see the content as intended, we’ve made two possible requirements for the quest to be given: either (this week) you must have killed Sarkareth, or, for those who do not raid, the last chapter will open to you the same week as the final Raid Finder wing opens.
This way, we’re able to deliver the content to all without spoiling it for players who want to experience it chronologically.
There’s a reason for this.
Up to this point, there have been hidden tracking event quests that could count towards quest-completion Achievements. Those hidden tracking quests could result in a player (who carefully counts what they’ve been doing) receiving a ‘50 quests completed’ Achievement after only counting 44 visible quests.
We’ve made a change in the forthcoming Fractures in Time patch that will put a stop to that. After this patch is released, only quests that you see and accept and complete will count towards quest-completion Achievements. Players won’t lose any progress or lose any Achievements they already have, but from tha...

As a reminder, the PTR for this test is named Public Test Realm (Wrath Classic) in your Battle.net app. We’ll gather on Classic PTR Realm 2.
Later this week, Time Rifts will open for testing on the PTR.
This week, testers will be able to play through stage one of the Time Rift event. Stage two, which is coming in a later build, will take you through a portal into the alternate timeway from which the incursion is coming. When you complete stage one on the PTR, you should get a message saying that this is all that is available for testing.
Initially, testers will see invasions from the murloc world of Azmerloth and from the Titan-inspired world of Ulderoth. Future PTR builds will include incursions from other worlds.
Thank you for your testing and feedback!
On Thursday, May 18 at 2:00 p.m. PDT (5:00 p.m. EDT), please join us on the Call of the Crusade PTR and get your driving gloves on.
We’ll be heading out to Isle of Conquest for some 40 v. 40 war … craft, and we want to fill up both sides of the isle and fire up all of the workshops, turrets, and war machines.
The test will end at 4:00 p.m. PDT (7:00 p.m. EDT). We hope to see you there!
With todays PTR update, the following changes have arrived for the new Augmentation specialization:
TIME RIFTS
The time streams have become a bit more unstable with recent events and as the boundaries between the timelines weaken, minions from other timelines have begun making their way into Azeroth. Players will join together to take on Time Rifts, push back against the waves of minions, and plug the hole to set the timeways straight again.
CLASSES
As Senior Game Producer Aggrend just confirmed on the Hardcore All-Stars stream, we’ve been working to bring official Hardcore Classic gameplay to WoW Classic. We’ve been very energized by the community’s enthusiasm for Hardcore, watching along with you, and doing a lot of Hardcore play ourselves.
We’ll let you know much more about it soon!
In response to initial Season 2 results and player feedback, we’re working on the following adjustments to classes. We plan to implement all of the changes below during scheduled weekly maintenance, which is Tuesday, May 16 in this region.
Death Knight
Demon Hunter

Greetings Holy Paladins!
Significant changes are being made to the Holy Paladin specialization tree in Fractures in Time and we’d like to go over our goals and plans for these changes.
The previous tree layout and talent nodes did not offer as much choice between content as we’d like. A main goal of this update is to encourage diversity between talent builds so gameplay feels varied between content and encounter types.
To achieve this goal, we’re taking a hard look at the tuning and integration of underrepresented talents to ensure they are both competitive and can fit within multiple builds. Too many talents felt like they worked for one playstyle, but not another. This is generally fine in moderation b...
Read moreHello fellow Mages!
In the Fractures in Time PTR, we have some updates coming to both the Class and Arcane talent trees. We’re also working on changes for Fire and Frost in future PTR builds. Below, we’ll cover some high-level changes as well as our plans moving forward.
The current Mage class tree has a variety of talents which offer a variety of utility and survivability talents options, but with its current layout, a lot of that choice feels difficult to navigate. This is due to the nature of their current capstones and how impactful and important they are to the overall rotation for each of the specs. In Fractures in Time, we’re making a few changes such as making some abilities baseline, removing Rune of Power, a slightly new tree layout, and a...
