Hello, Battleground enthusiasts!

As soon as we saw Battleground queue times go way up a few weeks ago, we got to work on our options for addressing the situation. They’ve all been discussed here and elsewhere, as you know, and in addition to following your discussions closely, we looked at game history and data. What was most evident from all of your feedback was: players want to continue to play on their chosen side of the faction conflict, players don’t want to wait in long queues for BGs, and players don’t want a highly convoluted mechanism for getting into a BG.

To solve those issues as best we can, we’ve been internally testing a configuration where the War Games system is used to bring about Horde vs. Horde or Alliance vs. Alliance Battlegrounds from the regular queue, and we’re ready to test it in the live game. Here’s the plan:

  • Starting tomorrow (Friday, July 2), we’re going to enable same-faction Battlegrounds.
  • You’ll queue for BGs as usu...

When you leave a Covenant, they assign betrayer status to you. Returning to that Covenant is possible, but you have to take extra steps to regain their full trust.

Nonetheless, the Covenants are now coming together to fight a great threat, and there’s an upcoming new season, and they’re temporarily feeling more compatible with those who previously left their sanctums.

Considering all of the recent balance changes and new rewards like Covenant mounts, we’re creating a hotfix that will reset the betrayer status for all players who previously left any Covenants. This will be one-time renovation to your relationship with your old Covenant intended to make it easier for you to return and pick back up where you left off with them.

We expect the hotfix to go live in the next couple of days.

This is correct.

Hitting Renown 44 and doing some quests will reveal Heirmir in Korthia.

Vendors in Torghast do not sell this exchange item.

As you may have seen in WoW Breaking News, we’re going to do realm restarts for all realms in this region at 7:00 a.m. PDT.

We expect the fixed Great Vault to return when realms come back up.

Thank you for your patience!

The WoW companion app is now available for update to 9.1 in the Google and iOS stores and should be working for most players who were previously/recently using the app, but we have come across an issue where attempting to Add an Account results in the app encountering a fatal error. This error may occur for Android users who have updated the app from version 9.0.5 to version 9.1 and:

  • Have not yet logged into the app on their chosen WoW account and are therefore attempting to add a new WoW account.
  • Haven’t logged into the app in a very long time, or for other reasons their WoW account is not pre-populated in the account list and must be added.

We will fix this bug as quickly as possible. Until then, players can bypass the error by uninstalling and reinstalling the app (rather than updating from 9.0.5 to 9.1) and then log in as expected.

While we work to fix a bug causing the Great Vault to present the wrong rewards, we’ve disabled the entire thing.

It will be back soon!

Confirmed – we do indeed have a bug that we’ve not been able to immediately squash.

Fixing it is a top priority for us, and at this time, it’s advisable to not loot the Great Vault until it’s been fixed and is offering the correct items.

We’ll keep you posted here and on our Warcraftdevs Twitter feed.

Yes. Unfortunately, the season did not end at 10:00 p.m. PDT as expected. We immediately investigated the issue and ended the season for certain at 11:10 p.m. PDT.

We will review the results and ensure that anyone who was eligible for Rank 1 at 10:00 p.m. PDT properly receives it.

If anyone was eligible for Rank 1 at 11:10 p.m. PDT but not 10:00 p.m. PDT, they will also receive it.

This review will be a part of our usual end-of-season processing. Immediately after every season, we examine participation and issue disqualifications before results are finalized.

We are excited to announce that in Chains of Domination, you can enhance your gameplay with several new accessibility updates that ensure the adventures in the Shadowlands are truly epic for everyone.

When you activate this feature from the Accessibility panel, any time you join a voice chat an icon will display in the Chat Channels panel (default hotkey: T) next to the Voice Chat icon. Clicking on the icon toggles the option...
