Hello.

We’ve seen a lot of feedback about the Trueshot ability and the lack of available Focus to use abilities. In this latest build of the Shadowlands Beta:

• While Trueshot is active, all Focus generated is increased by 50% from abilities such as Steady Shot, and your passive Focus regeneration is also increased by 50% for its duration.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 4, we will continue our raid tests in Naxxramas.

2:00 p.m. PDT (5:00 p.m. EDT) to 6:00 p.m. PDT (9:00 p.m. EDT)

Bosses Available:

• Sapphiron
• Kel’thuzad

This testing schedule is very fluid and subject to the realities of a test environment. We might have to change the time of a testing session, change the bosses being tested, or cancel a test entirely, due to bugs, server hardware issues, etc. Keep an eye on this forum for the latest information, and thank you in advance for testing and providing feedback.

Q: How do I get into the raid zone?
A: To facilitate and expedite testing, there is an NPC named Johnny McWeaksauce that has taken up temporary residence at Light’s Hope Chapel in Eastern Plaguelands. He will provide players with Naxxramas attunement and instant teleportation into the Naxxramas raid. Johnny’s brother Jimmy, can be found within the raid and will prov...

• Original WoW 1.11 Nature Resist gear is now obtainable.

With a hotfix that was deployed earlier today, the original WoW 1.11 Nature Resist gear is now obtainable in WoW Classic:

Testing of the Naxxramas patch is wrapping up over the next few weeks, and WoW Classic Version 1.13.6 will go live on December 1.

The Naxxramas raid and Scourge Invasion content will unlock at the same time for all realms in the world on December 3. We’ll let you know the exact time in advance. With the content unlock, players can become attuned to Naxxramas by fulfilling Archmage Angela Dosantos’s requirements in Light’s Hope Chapel.

Keep an eye on the patch notes for version 1.13.6, which ...

Hello!

In the latest build of the Shadowlands Beta, we’re reworking Unbound Chaos.

The previous entry in this talent location, Fel Mastery, was a straightforward damage increase to Fel Rush. But you needed to use all of your charges of Fel Rush within your damage rotation to take full advantage of the talent. Since that playstyle already exists with Momentum, we want to provide a talent here that injected Fel Rush into your damage rotation less frequently. The inner demon crashing into your enemies shortly after your fel rush completed was an attempt to present that damage in a more visually impactful way, but ultimately it does not feel very responsive.

As a result, we’re changing the design to enhance the damage of Fel Rush directly.

With a hotfix that is now live, we’ve made the following adjustment:

• Experience granted to players in dungeons is now standardized, and does not change with the size of the player’s party.

This standardized experience value is equal to what the leveling player would have previously earned in a 5-person party.

Going into the pre-patch, dungeon experience was tuned around the expectation of full parties. However, we saw that taplist loopholes in combination with pre-patch changes to dungeon scaling revealed some extreme leveling tactics by fewer than 5 players. We want dungeons to remain lucrative, and to be a valid alternative to questing and other experience sources, rather than to overshadow them.

Late yesterday, we made the following adjustments to Ny’alotha on Mythic difficulty:

• Damage and health of all enemies reduced 10%.
• Carapace of N’Zoth
  • Infinite Void damage reduced by 50% per stack, Black Scar damage reduced by 10%, and Mandible Slam damage reduced by 25%.

These hotfixes are live, and will appear in our next hotfixes update.

Tomorrow, Friday, October 23, we will continue our raid tests in Naxxramas, with the Abomination Quarter.

2:00 p.m. PDT (5:00 p.m. EDT) to 6:00 p.m. PDT (9:00 p.m. EDT)

Bosses Available:

• Patchwerk
• Grobbulus
• Gluth
• Thaddius

• The Hallow’s End Tricked or Treated aura can no longer be pushed off by other auras when reaching the aura limit.

This week’s Shadowlands Beta build includes several notable updates that are now ready for testing.

Renown User Interface
This UI has been revamped. It is no longer attached to your Reservoir UI NPC. It now has its own dedicated NPC in your Sanctum. It should be much clearer now what your past and upcoming rewards are, and some rewards on the Renown track have been put in more appropriate places.

Soulbinds
Talents have also been reorganized, and players will find that in most cases, the talent that was previously the final ability is now the starter ability.

In cases where that didn’t happen, the existing talents have been tuned to match the a more-expected power level.

Ve’nari Torghast Items
Ve’nari in the Maw now sells several items that serve as meta-progression for Torghast. You can buy the items and use them, but they aren’t functional in this build. We expect to have all of this funct...

Greetings!

As some of you know, we’ve made adjustments to Shadow Priests lately to balance their damage, as heavy iteration on the specialization led to some things getting out of alignment. In this week’s new Beta build, we’ve made more adjustments.

At the same time, we saw that some of the Insanity reductions from last week hurt the flow of the rotation, so we’ve reverted some of those. We also want to make sure that Mind Blast feels important to use over Mind Flay.

This week’s changes include:

• Dark Thought duration increased to 10 seconds (was 6 seconds).
  • Developers’ notes: We’ve also decreased Dark Thought’s max stacks to 1, as 5 felt excessive. We are open to feedback about how this feels, as always.
• Mind Blast generates 8 Insanity (was 7).
• Mind Flay damage reduced by 15%.
  • Developers’ notes: Shadow was proving too powerful in single target situations. This helps address that while sti...

Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 21, we will continue our raid tests in Naxxramas, with the Plague Quarter.

2:00 p.m. PDT (5:00 p.m. EDT) to 6:00 p.m. PDT (9:00 p.m. EDT)

Bosses Available:

• Noth the Plaguebringer
• Heigan the Unclean
• Loatheb

We’ve made the following slight adjustments to the test environment:

• Johnny McWeaksauce now also exists in all the capital cities (near the bank) to help players teleport to Naxxramas.
• The buff in Naxxramas has been reduced in strength to keep groups from inadvertently skipping mechanics that we’d like to see tested. It’s still a significant buff, to make sure pick-up-groups can test.

This testing schedule is very fluid and subject to the realities of a test environment. We might have to change the time of a testing session, change the bosses being tested, or cancel a test entirely, due to bugs, server hardware issues, etc. Keep an eye on thi...

Yes. We’ve found the bug here, and a fix is on the way.

Hello!

I can confirm that there is a bug here, however, it’s a display-only bug. The bonus rewards are being rewarded as expected.

We intend to fix this in a future version of the app.

Thank you!

Yes, it does appear that the missing 32-bit Android version of the app is now in place and available for use.
