These and all the other trees still have a lot of work to be done, but we want to share what we can to start collecting detailed feedback at this early stage, so be sure to share your thoughts with us.

Gather your staunchest allies and head into the Firelands raid dungeon to take on the elemental lord Ragnaros and his cohorts—and take on six dungeons from Deathwing’s era— during Cataclysm Timewalking.

The Firelands is the molten domain forged by the titans to house Ragnaros and his wayward minions. Following Deathwing’s emergence into Azeroth, Ragnaros and his servants surged onto the slopes of Mount Hyjal before being driven back by the sacred mountain’s valiant defenders. Now Ragnaros is rallying his loyalists to defend the Firelands from Azeroth’s champions.

When: The ...

With the launch of the Wrath of the Lich King Classic pre-patch, we intend to open “Fresh Start” realms for players who wish to experience starting a new character and playing alongside a new community of others.

In addition to fulfilling a request we’ve heard from players for a long time, we expect there to be a lot of new Classic players joining us for the first time in Wrath of the Lich King, and some of them may be concerned that they’ll feel behind. Fresh Start realms should give those players a chance to feel as though they’re on an even playing field with everyone else.

These realms will be Wrath of the Lich King Classic realms from day one, so when they launch, they’ll have all of the talent trees and player abilities coming with Wrath of the Lich King Classic, but all players will start new characters at level 1. Fresh Start realms will also come with a few stipulations:

  • For at least 90 days, you will not be allowed to boost a character on Fresh S...

It’s hotfix time~

JUNE 10, 2022

Dungeons and Raids

  • Developers’ note: In this second batch of updates to Shadowlands dungeons, we’ve addressed more circumstances where enemy abilities could be cast on nearby targets in melee when their current target became out of range, which could sometimes lead to unfair deaths, or encourage groups to avoid bringing melee DPS entirely.
    • The following abilities will no longer hit nearby targets in melee when the enemy’s target is out of range:
      • Encrypted Affix
        • Urh Dismantler’s Deconstruct
      • De Other Side
        • Headless Client’s Discharge
      • Plaguefall
        • Domina Venomblade’s Cytotoxic Slash
        • Plagueroc’s Blightbeak
        • Mire Soldier’s Mighty Swing
        • Rotting Slimeclaw’s Corroded Claws
      • Sanguine Depths
