Raid Testing Schedule - June 7th

June, 7th

Za’qul, Harbinger of Ny’alotha - Mythic Eternal Palace
13:00 PDT (16:00 EDT, 22:00 CEST)
Blackwater Behemoth - Mythic Eternal Palace
14:00 PDT (17:00 EDT, 23:00 CEST)
Orgozoa - Mythic Eternal Palace
15:00 PDT (18:00 EDT, 24:00 CEST)

As always, this testing schedule is very fluid and subject to the realities of a test environment. We might have to change the time of a testing session, change the bosses being tested, or cancel a test entirely, due to bugs, server hardware issues, etc. Keep an eye on this forum for the latest information, and thank you in advance for testing and providing feedback.

Q: How do I get into the raid zone?
A: In Zuldazar, Boralus, Dalaran, Orgrimmar, or Stormwind, you may speak to Nexus-Lord Donjon Rade III in order to teleport into the raid zone while it is open for testing. (The option to teleport into a zone will not be available when the zone is not open for testing.)

Q: What character should I use to test the raid?
A: Whichever you prefer. We will be scaling players’ effective level to 120 for raid testing, and their item level to an appropriate threshold for the encounter(s) being tested.

Q: How long does testing last?
A: The primary purpose of testing is to give us the information we need to balance the encounters, evaluate how mechanics are playing out in practice, and identify bugs. Once we’re satisfied that we’ve received that information for a given boss, we’ll be shutting down testing. Usually this takes anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, but there are no guarantees.

    Hopefully this is enough steampunk stuff to sate the insufferable Tinker crowd. At least it'll be easy to reach 350 mounts soon. Wonder what the 450 one will be.

    Wasn't there supposed to be a bee mount? I seem to remember a slide from blizzcon presentation with it or some such.. Was under the impression this would be added in this patch.

    Yeah, we don't know how to get it. I'm starting to think they're making it into a "Secret" for the initial steps, followed by a grind once those steps are done. Don't think the Secret starter is activated.

    Wowwowwow! Secret mounts are tight!

    *ahem* But seriously, yeah, I see what you mean with the grind - if it's true, this might turn out to be quite interesting (especially if it's not fricking time-gated..)

    The stupid amounts of gold sinks started in Legion. Before that, the most expensive mount was like 20k, other than the yak mount. The prices of mounts now are literally just a way for Blizzard to push those tokens.

    Ever heard of inflation?
    there is videos calculating the average gold of a player now, and back in the days of vanilla, tbc, wotlk, etc, and they are about the same, there hasnt been some massive kick in "THIS MOUNT IS WAAAY TOO EXPENSIVE!" other then 2 specific mounts, the only ones to ever cost millions.

    i would agree, spider and long neck way too expensive
    but 500k mount? nah mate, its literally nothing compared to some old mounts.

    but no, the biggest mount cost was 20k in wotlk, i dont think there was one for cata, then mop 120k, then wod 200k, then legion and BFA 500k

    legion did have 2 mil and BFA 5 mil, but i agree those 2 are too much, but these 500k nah they are on the norm.
