We’re continuing to work on this priority issue. We don’t have an ETA for a fix yet.
At the beginning of the Alterac Valley bonus weekend in Classic Era, we had a bug that prevented some bonus Honor from being properly awarded. That bug was fixed 1-2 days into the weekend (depending on your region).
As a result, we’re extending AV weekend on all Classic Era realms, so that it will continue to run until the Warsong Gulch weekend starts on Friday.
Take no prisoners!

With scheduled weekly maintenance (on September 19 in this region), we intend to make the following tuning adjustments for Player versus Player activities.
Evoker
Priest
Random Dungeon Finder will be re-enabled for testing over the next couple of hours.
Please note that in order to resume testing it, you’ll have to log out of the PTR and update your game client after the fix goes out. Testers who stay logged in from before the fix is deployed will not be able to queue for dungeons.
Thank you!
We’re underway with today’s Brawl with the Blues. Please leave your feedback from this test session here.
As a reminder, to join us in testing solo-queue rated BGs, use the Group Finder (hotkey: i), select Brawl: Battleground Blitz on the ‘Player vs. Player’ tab, and then click ‘Join Battle’.
We’ve deployed an update to the 3.4.3 PTR.
Build: 51384
As with the last round of raid testing, all bosses and wings of Icecrown Citadel are available on both Normal and Heroic difficulties in 10 and 25 player raid sizes. The raid will become available today (September 15) at 2:00 p.m. PDT and will remain available until Wednesday (September 20) at 11:00 a.m. PDT.
ICC Bug Fixes and Adjustments
In order to deal with a critical bug, we’ve disabled Random Dungeon Finder functionality on the 3.4.3 PTR.
We’ll let you know when we’ve got a fix for it in place.
With a hotfix, we’ve just made the following update on all Classic Era realms, including Hardcore realms:
This change was originally made in patch 2.0.10 and works well in Classic Era/Hardcore, as the original quest provided an uncontested, single-faction, infinitely repeatable, low risk gold reward that does not comport with the nature of the rest of the game.
We’ll continue to monitor for situations like this one and if necessary, we’ll take further steps to promote player interactions and Classic gameplay.
Thanks to everyone who have shared their thoughts so far on Battleground Blitz. We’ve seen a lot of feedback here and elsewhere that we’d like to respond to and hopefully provide some additional information about the game mode for clarity.
Arathi Basin and Deepwind Gorge
As indicated in a screenshot in the initial preview, there are objective timers for these maps to indicate when bases will be reset and this functionality is implemented on PTR. Currently, these timers are located under “Objectives”, which may be initially minimized for some players. Placing them under objectives will allow players to utilize Edit Mode and move them on their UI as best fits.
Okay hear me out–
It looks like it’s actually, really, definitely going to be available until 3:00 p.m. PDT tomorrow, Thursday, September 14.
We’re hosting a PvP Brawl with the Blues event focused on Battleground Blitz on the Guardians of the Dream PTR on Friday, September 15 from 3:00 – 5:00 pm PDT.
To prepare for this test session, make sure you’ve followed the following steps:

Something has been plaguing me for days, and now I can finally point my thinking cap to the right place (-198, -84).
There was definitely a bug preventing the matchmaker from launching Battleground Blitz on the PTR.
This is now resolved.
