In this thread, please post your feedback on the new Mythic Keystone affix: Beguiling, which is now testable on the Rise of Azshara PTR.

Crucible of Storms Ahead of the Curve and Cutting Edge will cease being available when Azshara’s Eternal Palace opens. The Crucible of Storms Hall of Fame will lock at that point, regardless of whether it is full, and Crucible of Storms will be available for cross-realm Mythic.

We expect that Rise of Azshara’s new Essences and the increase in the power of the Heart of Azeroth will give a final boost to people who are close on Uu’nat in the two weeks prior to Azshara’s Eternal Palace opening.

The launch of Rise of Azshara will mark the end of Battle for Azeroth Season 2. On launch day (date to-be-announced soon), both PvP and Mythic Keystone competition will close, and a two-week off-season for those activities will begin.

During the off-season, Mythic Keystone dungeons will still be playable using Season 2 affixes and rewards, but their seasonal achievements will no longer be available. Additionally, it will still be possible to queue for Rated PvP and earn based on your Season 2 rating, but seasonal rewards and titles will no longer be earnable. The end-of-season rankings will close when Rise of Azshara goes live.

As always, we ask that competitive players refrain from transferring character(s) to another realm or faction until after BFA Season 3 has begun.

BFA Season 3 will begin two weeks after the content update, along with the opening of Azshara’s Eternal Palace, the new Operation: Mechagon dungeon, a new seasonal affix for Mythic Keystone dung...

With maintenance to the WoW Classic beta today, we’re going to be putting the clock onto the minimap in the default UI.

We expect it to save us a lot of time when we’re debugging using screenshots or video clips.

I’ve updated the original post here to include “At the same time, Warsong Gulch will close.”

Later today, we will take the WoW Classic closed beta down for maintenance and we will increase the level cap from 30 to 40. This will allow testers to level up in zones such as Stranglethorn Vale, Desolace, and Arathi Highlands (among others). At the same time, Warsong Gulch will close.

To further assist testing efforts, we will reduce the cost to respec closed beta characters. The new cost will be charged in silver instead of gold, a 99% reduction in cost, and will only be applied to the beta test.

We’re also going to open Arathi Basin for limited testing in the closed beta. There will be no templates, so all characters will need to be level 20 or higher to participate. The test will begin on the afternoon of Thursday, June 6.

Please keep an eye on our ...

We have now completed the WoW Classic Stress Test that began yesterday at 2:00 p.m. PDT. We’re very pleased with the amount of participation we saw, and we’re happy to report that we got a great deal of highly useful data, as well as new issues that were uncovered by your efforts to log in and play.

The closed beta realms remain available for those testers.

Thank you very much to everyone who participated in this stress test!

Confirmed – the Beta is back up and playable.

The WoW Classic Beta is being taken offline imminently, in preparation for today’s Stress Test.

The Beta should be back online this evening, after 4:00 p.m. PDT.

Thank you!

FYI, Warsong Gulch will be available at level 10 in today’s stress test.

I’ve added several items to the list in the OP:

• Long quest objectives don’t have text wrapping.
• Fall damage is equivalent to expected and verified values.
• Broadcast text can be seen multiple times if multiple players interact with the same NPC.
• WANTED signs do not have “!”, and are also not highlighted.
• Player characters do not animate when looting/interacting with quest objects (e.g. collecting pumpkins).
• Gnomes and Taurens are the correct size.

The last one has been carefully verified.

That thread is reaching limits that we simply cannot work around.

Feel free to start a new one. It doesn’t look like we’re going to be able to keep the big one open.
