World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

On Friday, January 28, starting at 14:00 PST (17:00 EST, 23:00 CET), come join members of the World of Warcraft development team on the Broxigar PTR realm as we playtest the new Solo Shuffle Brawl that’s being added in the 9.2 Eternity’s End update!

The Solo Shuffle brawl pits six players (two healers or tanks, four damage dealers) against each other in exciting 3v3 Arena matches. As the name implies, you can only queue for this brawl solo and players will go through 6 rounds of arena matches as they are shuffled between teams.

With a patch after the Eternity’s End content update, we will no longer support the operation of the WoW Companion App on 32-bit Android operating systems.

If you’re uncertain whether or not this applies to you, the Eternity’s End content update for the WoW Companion App will include an in-app notification for 32-bit Android users. Again, our support for these older Android operating systems will cease with a patch after the Eternity’s End content update.

Thank you.

You’ll see these (and a number of other things) become available when Black Temple unlocks.
