Congratulations NOTA!
Anyone get a look at that spicy meatball?
We wanted to take a moment to recognize that the first day of the pre-expansion content update for The War Within resulted in extended downtime for many players in North American realms. In recognition of this, we're adding one day of extra game time to every subscription in North America, Latin America, Australia and New Zealand for accounts which were active as of July 23, 2024.
We anticipate providing this compensation to affected players on or before August 15, 2024. Players will be able to view their game time by visiting account.battle.net.
We appreciate your continued patience as we navigate through any lingering issues to ensure that player experience going forward into the launch of The War Within expansion goes smoothly starting with Early Access on August 22 and t...
Read moreAbout 5 minutes after Molten Core opened, we deployed a hotfix to correct immunities on non-boss enemies. Players who zoned in during the first few minutes can expect to find boss adds that have unexpected immunities.
If you wish to, a soft reset of the instance should result in the non-boss enemies spawning correctly. Also, quickly swapping to a different Heat level and back to your original Heat level at the Hydraxian NPC near the entrance will reset the boss add immunities without needing an instance reset.
Thank you!
It's time to put on your fire resist gear to face Onyxia in her lair and Ragnaros, the fire lord, in the Molten Core.
Experience Lord Kazzak and Azuregos as brand-new instanced versions of these encounters. These encounters can be experienced with up to 40 players but will be tuned as 20-player content, making them both pick-up-group-friendly with 40 players, but also giving players the option to maximize their rewards by attempting them with 20-players.

We’ve identified an issue with cross-realm trading that requires us to temporarily disable the function.
We’re working on a fix, and until we’re finished with that work, cross-realm trading should fail when attempted.
We’ll let you know as soon as we’re done.
Thank you!

That’s correct.
We deployed a fix for this bug 20 minutes ago, at 6:51 p.m. PDT.
Now, player-characters that only unlocked Steady Flight prior to 11.0.0 can again use Steady Flight as expected.
Hello testers! Here are this week’s updates to the War Within Beta:
CLASSES
Hello.
In The War Within, we’ve increased health pools by 60% relative to Dragonflight values. Many spells scale with player health values, so we’ve reduced many of these spells so their relative value remains similar between Dragonflight and The War Within.
Life Cocoon was among the percent-health scaling spells chosen to reduce to keep its value the same between expansions, as we did not feel it was a weak spell throughout Dragonflight (with or without modifying talents). So Life Cocoon’s value is about the same relative to its strength in Dragonflight.
We’ll keep an eye on it to ensure it’s handling scenarios appropriately in The War Within all the same.
Thank you for your feedback!
Hello.
We just want to clarify that we implemented the class trees for this patch as intended, and this is not a bug.
The current War Within Pre-expansion patch includes our initial class and spec changes. As you can see in the Beta, there are more changes coming-- changes that we’re adding with the full War Within expansion.
Between now and then, we may deploy urgent tuning and bug hotfixes to classes, but the trees in the live game are working correctly.
The temperature rises with the release of Molten Core on July 25, at 1:00 pm PDT / 22:00 CEST. Season of Discovery is presented with a unique challenge, as a new “Heat” mechanic is introduced in the Molten Core, which is not to be taken lightly.
When you first zone into Molten Core, speak with a Hydraxian Waterlords NPC at the entrance to choose one of three different Heat levels—Sweltering, Blistering, or Molten—with an increase in difficulty at each level.
If things get too hot to handle, you can sw...
