I’ve updated the OP:

• Keystone levels +2 through +11 have the following affixes:
  • +2 Xal’atath’s Bargain affixes appear on a weekly rotation.
  • +4 Fortified or Tyrannical is active, alternating on a
    weekly rotation.
  • +7 Challenger’s Peril is active on all keystones.
  • +10 Tyrannical or Fortified is active, alternating on a
    weekly rotation.
  • +10 Tyrannical and Fortified are active.
    • The one that was not active at +4 that week becomes active at +10.

Greetings, dungeoneers!

This week’s Beta update includes major changes to the Mythic Keystone affix system in
The War Within, based on player feedback. Our primary goal with these updates is to refine the Mythic+ experience to better serve a diverse playerbase.

Previously, we approached Mythic Keystones with a one-size-fits-all approach, which proved challenging in striking the right balance and limited our design space.

In this new build, you will see significant shifts in our design philosophy. We recognize the importance of weekly variety for those progressing through the system. However, for players pushing high keys, this variance has sometimes felt restrictive. We’ve also heard your feedback about wanting affixes with both positive and negative effects, as well as a desire for thematic nods similar to past affixes.

This update to the affix system aims to meet those diverse expectations. We’re maintaining the core goals of our last round of cha...

Now that WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria has been available for three weeks, we’re seeing the dust settling and players approaching the event in several fun ways. And as we look forward to the next 2.5 months of this mode being available, we’d like to know your thoughts on Remix, whether your perspective is one of a player who just started it today, or a player who’s played it casually to endgame, or a player who’s now wildly overpowered and blasting through Lei Shen’s minions like they’re nothing.

As you’ve seen with our hotfixes, we’ve focused on player reports and feedback to shore up any pain points (where we can). We’re currently working on hotfixes that should straighten out issues some players have had with collecting transmogs, ...

We’ve just sent a hotfix to the Beta to resolve that.

Hello!

Please use this thread for any feedback or bugs related to non-class set item rewards such as trinkets or special items with additional effects. Many of these items can be found on Trinketaur in Stormwind and Orgrimmar.

A few questions you might ask yourself as you try them out include:

• Is the tooltip’s description of the item’s effects reasonably clear?
• Is the item’s role clear?
• Does the item feel powerful and rewarding to use?
• Are any mechanics particularly clunky or unfun?
• Do the visual effects match your expectation of the fantasy? Do they distract from the rest of your gameplay?

Feel free to share anything else that comes to mind, and thanks in advance for your feedback!

Thank you for the feedback, Hambrick. While we don’t have answers to all of your questions, we can offer some clarity.

We just completed a tuning pass on all reagent difficulty and crafting difficulties and these changes will show up in the next Beta build. While still subject to change, these are real values that are representative of our intent and we would appreciate feedback on them once they are in your hands.

The design philosophy for crafting difficulty in The War Within is that a well-honed crafter who is fully specialized, equipped with the best crafting tools, and using Quality 3 reagents can guarantee maximum qua...

Once you’ve been added to the War Within Beta, there are a few steps to take to begin testing.

Initial Steps

1. First and foremost, all Beta testers will see a new GAME VERSION in the Battle.net App.

It looks like this:

You must select the Game Version: The War Within Beta to playtest the Beta. If you have selected any other game version, you will not be playing the Beta.

2. Hit the PLAY button to launch the War Within Beta.

3. If you have multiple WoW accounts, you may see some of them listed like this:

We’ve now completed Beta realm restarts to pick up some fixes.

We’ll continue to monitor and work on further issues.

Update 11:00 a.m. PDT June 6

We’ve now completed Beta realm restarts to pick up some fixes.

We’ll continue to monitor and work on further issues.

We’re aware of and working to resolve multiple stability issues in the War Within Beta. We do not expect to deploy fixes until tomorrow.

We’ll let you know when we have some improvements going out to Beta servers tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Cataclysm Classic

• Fixed a bug in Conclave of Wind where a player dying could lead to Nezir dropping no loot.
• Druid
  • Clearcasting will no longer be consumed by Nourish.
    • Developers’ notes: This mirrors a change that was originally made in patch 4.0.3a. Nourish is a low cost heal and is intended to be a filler spell. It simply doesn’t feel good to be casting Nourish and have Clearcasting go off, and then spend it on the incoming Nourish.
• Paladin
  • Fixed an issue where Paladins could start Arena matches with Inquisition or more than 0 Holy Power.

Art and Animations

• Fixed an issue where Vault of the Incarnate cosmetic fist weapons purchased with bullion were not hidden when sheathed.
• Fixed a bug with the appearance of Tropical Airy Sandals.

Classes

• Evoker
  • Preservation
    • All healing increased by 6%. Does not apply to PvP combat.

  • Survival
    • Survival Hunter 4-set Focus cost reduction increased to 20 (was 10).
    • Survival Hunter 4-set damage bonus increased to 80% (was 50%).
• Paladin
  • ...

It’s hard to say, because long lists can take a long time to process. But I have seen people who are new-to-the-Beta gain access to that forum over the last hour.

YES. This is always a requirement of any change to your status or access or presence in the forums. Always log out and back in.

Welcome to the War Within Beta!

We’re excited to share the bonuses you’ll discover on Class Sets in The War Within.

Please note: These bonuses will be playable in the second Beta build.

The War Within Class Set Armor Design

We’re aiming for relatively simple bonuses for these class sets to let Hero Talents breathe as the primary focus for The War Within Season 1. We’re still looking to influence gameplay in a light manner, but we want these sets to have a minimal impact on talent selection and as close to zero impact on Hero Talent selection as possible. Similar to the first season of Dragonflight, there are significant changes coming to classes and we would like to establish ...

Hello Hunters!

Those of you who might be looking at today’s first Beta build will notice some unannounced changes and/or additions to the Hunter class tree.

These changes are part of the Hunter class tree update, which will be included alongside spec tree updates for Beast Mastery, Marksmanship, and Survival in next week’s Beta build.

We appreciate your patience and are excited to officially reveal these changes to you soon!
