This Friday, June 21, please join members of the World of Warcraft development team in PvP on The War Within Beta Test Realms as we playtest Deephaul Ravine. We came across some issues with queueing the battleground last week that we have since resolved, and want to get the map into players hands for feedback!

We’ll get underway at 3:00 p.m. PDT (5:00 p.m. CDT, 6:00 p.m. EDT) with an hour of playtesting. To playtest this with us, log onto the End Game Realm “These Go To Eleven”, which have max level character templates and access to various vendors. To queue up, open the Group Finder (default hotkey: i), then select Random Battlegrounds and click Join Battle. Deephaul Ravine will be the only battleground available for Random Battlegrounds on beta.

Before we get things rolling, we recommend taking some time to get your character setup properly for PvP combat. Please check out the various gear and profession vendors in Orgrimmar and Stormwind and utilize...

Hello Warlocks.

This beta build contains several changes that have been implemented based off feedback we received over the past few weeks. Before we dive into those though, we wanted to thank you for the bug reports that have been sent in. We are continually working through those reports so expect fixes in this build and future builds.

Without further ado, let’s get into some of the changes you’ll see for Warlock in this beta build.

Demonology

We’ve redesigned Doom to be passive, like the seasons 3 and 4 tier set bonus in Dragonflight. The primary reason for this change is to reduce the increased number of actions per minute we observed during playtesting. Additionally, Demonology has a lot of plates to spin as it is, a...

Hello everyone! Here are this week’s updates to the War Within Beta.

NEW FEATURES

• WARBANDS
  • Known Issue: A Warband conversion popup may appear when you log in, however Warband conversion is not yet implemented for Beta characters.
• CROSS-REALM GUILDS
  • Guild functionality has been extended to allow for recruitment and management of Guild members across all realms in their respective regions.
    • Developer’s note: Guild banks are currently restricted to the realm the Guild is located on for initial testing. Guild bank functionality will be included in a future Beta release.
      To facilitate testing we have spun up an additional level-up realm, “Turnip’s Delight”, so players can create Guilds and invite members across multiple realms in their region.

Hi everyone!

Thank you so much for the great feedback so far. We are looking at improving Brann’s survivability and usefulness throughout the delves. It is also a bug that enemies respawn. Aside from some exceptions, once something is dead in a delve it should stay dead. We’ll also be reviewing tuning for different classes, along with improvements to the pain points that have been mentioned here within certain scenarios.

Thanks again, and please keep the feedback coming!

June 13, 2024

Cataclysm Classic

• Race change, faction change, and paid server transfer cooldowns reduced to 3 days (was 30 days).
• Magmaw will no longer fall backwards during Impale, preventing players from doing damage.
• Fixed an issue where the Horde team was getting less resource points per tick with three locations captured in the Eye of the Storm, than the Alliance team would in the same situation.
• Improved combat logging of certain effects.
• Death Knight
  • Death Coil will no longer critically heal for 300% of the normal value, instead of the intended 200%.
• Rogue
  • Vendetta no longer persists on the target when the Rogue specs out of the talent.

Greetings Cataclysm Classic adventurers.

We’ve recently deployed a hotfix that reduces the cooldowns for race change, faction change, and paid server transfer on Cataclysm Classic realms from 30 days, down to 3 days (72 hours) to match these services on modern realms. This change also applies retroactively, so for those who are currently on a cooldown after initiating these services within the past 30 days, expect your cooldown to be completed after 3 days from when the service began.
