We’re aware of a critical bug and we’re working on it as a top priority.

Thank you for your patience.

Hello.

We’ve double-checked the schedule and can confirm that the one-raid-per-week rotation is intended to continue for the rest of patch 10.2.7.

Starting with the launch of The War Within pre-expansion patch, all three raids will be Awakened at the same time.

Post

Hello!

We’ve taken the Public Alpha realms offline part of our preparation for the Beta launch tomorrow so we can get all our ducks in a row. :duck:

As with previous expansions, those of you who helped us test during this Alpha period will retain access going into Beta. Please note though, we will be wiping the realms of all characters as we move into this next phase, so we can start Beta with fully fresh account data.

Thanks for being awesome! See you all in the Beta!

In Remix, yes. But don’t forget that you can go pummel those same bosses on your Dragonflight characters.

A basic rule-of-thumb for Remix is: quests drop their original loot, but bosses do not.

This is intended, and we expect it to continue to drop until the end of Dragonflight Season 4.

Monte Gazlowe, Trade Prince of the Bilgewater Cartel, has been probing working conditions among the goblins, touring factories, mines, and other operations. The process has been slowly eating away at him: Everywhere he tours, he sees a burned-out workforce, cheap machinery, and unhealthy working conditions that consistently drag production and denigrate their people. Worse yet, every boss has the same opinion: “This is the goblin way! Dog eat dog! Only the winner comes out on top!” But is this really the goblin way, or is it just the way Jastor Gallywix wanted them looking?

Monte Gazlowe sighed, looking out over a vast mining operation from his spot on a platform above the mine’s South District floor. This was his fifth “fact-finding” tour of the week, and it seemed like he’d been going nonstop for months, taking stock of less-than-desirable working conditions among the goblins. This one was easily among the worst, though Marin Noggenfogger—Gazlow...

Noting that this was fixed at about 3:25 p.m. PDT today.

Take your new adventures into three new raid dungeons: The Bastion of Twilight, Blackwing Descent, and Throne of the Four Winds.


The Bastion of Twilight

The Bastion of Twilight stands as a dark symbol of the Old Gods’ burgeoning power on Azeroth. Various branches of the Twilight’s Hammer dwell deep beneath the towering form— considered the cult’s foremost command center— along with their twisted leader, Cho’gall. There he, and his servants, conspire to bring the Old Gods’ apocalyptic visions to fruition by bleeding Azeroth of all sanity, hope, and life.

Zone: Twilight Highlands
Difficulty: (10) Normal, (10) Heroic, (25) Normal, (25) Heroic
Bosses: 4 (5 on Heroic difficulty)

  • Halfus Wyrmbreaker: Imbued with unnatural power and stamina by Cho’gall the ettin Halfus Wyrmbreaker captures dragon...

Just want to follow-up on how the issue wrapped up in this region. (Other regions had the vendors disabled from the start of the Season.)

For a brief time on Tuesday, it was possible for a few players to go over the cap on item purchases. After we disabled the vendors, we looked and found that no one had gone so far over the cap that we needed to make adjustments to them.

This is because it’s a Seasonal cap, and it increases each week. So if someone purchased an item on Tuesday morning that took them above the intended week 1 cap, it will count against their total cap in week 2.

Again, we thank you for your patience and understanding here.
