Later today, we’ll conclude the current Sunwell test on the 2.5.4 PTR.

We got a lot of great data over the weekend, so thank you very much!

The Burning Crusade Classic version 2.5.4 Public Test Realm (PTR) is now open for testing. Players may copy their character to the PTR or create a template character to test:

• The Isle of Quel’danas
• The Sunwell Plateau raid

We’re currently working on a pair of class adjustments, with the intent of making these changes during scheduled weekly maintenance (Tuesday, April 19 in this region).

Hunter

• Survival
  • Wildfire Cluster (Runecarving Power) explosions now deals reduced damage when striking beyond 8 targets.

Warlock

• Destruction
  • Inferno (Talent) now has a reduced chance for Rain of Fire to generate Soul Shard Fragments when it deals damage beyond 5 targets.

In both cases, we’re deliberately making changes that will not affect either spec engaging with fewer than 8 targets. In the case of Survival Hunters, we want the Wildfire Cluster to remain an excellent Legendary choice in AoE situations, with damage that is more similar to other AOE abilities. For Destruction, we’re focusing on the synergy between Inferno and Rain of Fire that lea...

We’re working on the following hotfixes today:

Dungeons

• Reduced the health and damage of most Legion dungeon bosses.
• Darkheart Thicket
  • Reduced the damage of Festerhide Grizzly’s Maddening Roar by 30%.
• Vault of the Wardens
  • Reduced the damage of Cordana Felsong’s Detonating Moonglaive by 60%.

We’ll get these hotfixes tested and deployed as soon as possible.

With scheduled weekly maintenance in each region (tomorrow, April 12 here), we will make the following change:

• The maximum amount of Conquest that can be earned now increases by 1100 Conquest per week.

The cap previously grew by 550 Conquest per week.

Beyond the End of Infinity: The Final Everything Beginning Forever

Now that Season 3 is well underway and players are pursuing all of the seasonal aspects of Mythic+ and competitive PvP, we’d like you to join us in considering what might come afterward. Later this year, after the current season has run for a typical duration, we’re planning to conclude Season 3 and begin Shadowlands Season 4, a fresh take on what a season of WoW might include.

In Shadowlands Season 4, your PvP efforts will reward you with a new higher tier of PvP gear along with other Season rewards, such as mounts and titles. We’re planning for the highest ranking title to be Eternal Gladiator, a fitting capstone for your Shadowlands PvP accomplishments.

We’re excited to announce that we’re going to shake things up in Mythic+ and raiding in Season 4. We’d like to change up the Mythic+ dungeon pool so that it would include 8 dungeons that span the last four expansions of WoW:

• Tazavesh: Streets of Wonder
• Tazavesh: So’leah’s Gambit
• ...

Yes.

We recently deployed a hotfix to the game that should provide a significant performance optimization to unit aura processing.

The UNIT_AURA event now has two new payloads:
isFullUpdate – a boolean indicating that the consumer should do a full update on their data

updatedAuras – a vector of information about the auras that changed.

The intent of these changes is to provide more information so that consumers can “early-out” of the update without needing to do a full iteration over all auras for a unit.

This should not break any existing addons, but we strongly recommended that addon authors who register for the UNIT_AURA event make use of this new information while processing auras.

A new helper function, AuraUtil.ShouldSkipAuraUpdate(), has been added to AuraUtil.lua to facilitate this. To use it, forward in the new event payloads as well as a ...

Thank you very much for testing Eternity’s End.

This is the latter. You can select Attendant’s Tokens of Merit if you choose to not select one of the other items offered.

We did indeed have a recent bug that reduced the amount of bonus Honor received per round won in Solo Shuffle.

We’ve created a hotfix for it, and expect that hotfix to be applied to the game soon.

Don’t forget-- your first Solo Shuffle win of the day grants twice as much Honor as subsequent wins that day.
