Raids are now open for testing.

We have some notes about the condition of several aspects of the test environment at this time.

• Due to a bug, the printed Raid Reset time in the chat log and /raidinfo is incorrect.
• Several raid-related achievements are not activated properly.
• If you leave a group while inside of an instance, you will receive an interface error.
• Kel’thuzad currently summons the incorrect number of Guardian of Icecrown adds.
• The audio and text dialogue between the Lich King and Kel’thzad in Naxxramas are mismatched.
• Some trash spawns in 25 player and 10 player Naxxramas are distributed differently than you might expect.
  • The total amount of trash is correct. Some trash packs were removed over the course of several patches. We currently have the patch 3.3.5 levels of trash mob spawns overall. Please let us know if you have thoughts on this.
• The Red Drake Vehicles and Malygos hi...

Testers can now begin setting up characters. The templates are now available and the vendors in Dalaran have been updated with new items, consumables, and gems.

To support testing, tomorrow we’ll enable the creation of level-80 “template” characters. Additionally, we’ll convert the glyph vendors in Dalaran to “supplies” vendors, and they’ll sell gems, enchants, consumables, and PvP gear.

We plan to open the Naxxramas, Eye of Eternity, and Obsidian Sanctum raids for initial testing tomorrow, July 21.

See you here!

In today’s new beta build, we’ve completed an update to Warlocks that should address a situation that has persisted since original Wrath of the Lich King.

• Demonic Pact will no longer overwrite an existing Demonic Pact buff, unless:
  • There are less than 10 seconds left on the buff (e.g. it has been up for 35 seconds or more).
  • The spell power bonus of the new buff are higher than or equal to the power of the existing buff.

Additionally,

• The internal cooldown of Demonic Pact has been lowered to 5 seconds (was 20 seconds).

This compensates for the changes above and helps ensure that Demonic Pact is refreshing on your target before it expires with a similar consistency to before this adjustment.

As we are approaching closer to the launch of Season 4 on the week of August 2, we wanted to provide the Fated Raid schedule in advance so that raid groups can start their preparations and planning.

Fated Raids will be on the following weekly rotation:

• August 2 – Fated Castle Nathria
• August 9 – Fated Sanctum of Domination
• August 16 – Fated Sepulcher of the First Ones
• August 23 – Fated Castle Nathria
• August 30 – Fated Sanctum of Domination
• September 6 – Fated Sepulcher of the First Ones
• And so on until the rotation is removed and all raids are Fated later in the season.

While a raid is Fated, it will only be available in Fated difficulty, but the other two raids will still be available that week in their non-Fated difficulty.

See you in Season 4!

It’s underway right now. We expect to have a new build (and lots of notes) in the next few hours.
