Please know that we’ve been working on these issues, and will continue to make tweaks
and fixes until we’ve got it all ironed out. We’re looking to accomplish a couple of things:

  1. Disable the Primalist Storm location.
  2. More thoroughly fix the scheduler so that it can pick two Storms at once.

We like having two up at a time.

We think that some of this will require that we implement fixes during maintenance, so please bear with us until next Tuesday.

You’ve toppled the undead armies of the Lich King and ended Arthas' reign. Now, Deathwing, The Worldbreaker, bursts from the heart of the Maelstrom, unleashing his rage. All will burn beneath the shadow of his wings. Your new journey begins with the pre-expansion patch — the Shattering of Azeroth— on April 30 and continues with the launch of Cataclysm Classic on May 20, 2024 at 3:00 pm PDT worldwide.


Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch

The Cataclysm Classic pre-expansion patch ushers in the shattering of Azeroth and the changed landscape in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms, a variety of systems changes along with new class and race combinations, and the new Worgen and Goblin races. Players can also begin learning the new ...

When developing and tuning the Sunken Temple raid encounters, we had concerns about player power going into Phase 3 so we aimed high when tuning enemy health. We feel that we aimed too high and have recently deployed a hotfix that lowers the health of all enemies and bosses within the Sunken Temple to help ensure this content remains accessible to all players.

We’ll be watching progress closely and making additional adjustments as needed in the coming days. Thank you and have fun in Sunken Temple!

Trios should be available after maintenance this week. So, yes, they should be available to North America and Latin America today. :wink:

Dragonflight Season 3 will be ending April 22 at 10:00 p.m. PDT, the night before the regularly scheduled maintenance, with Dragonflight Season 4 beginning immediately following on April 23. Check out our previously published article for more information.

Here’s what you can expect as the seasons transition.


Dragonflight Season 3: Mythic+ and Raids

With the season’s end, ratings that qualify for the 0.1% Dreaming Hero: Dragonflight Season 3 achievement will be recorded.

The “Dreaming Hero” title and achievement will be rewarded during the weeks following after the season ends, so make sure to wait to change factions until after you have received the title.
