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.

To facilitate testing, players who have not committed themselves to a Covenant can speak with Acquirer Ta’est inside Castle Nathria to temporarily bind themselves to one of the four factions.

Q: How do I get into the raid zone?
A: In Oribos, Dalaran, Orgrimmar, or Stormwind, you may speak to Nexus-Lord Donjon Rade IV 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 60 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.

We appreciate you taking the time to test our content and look forward to reading your feedback.

    how about fixing problems like the night fae covenant so it's usable in raid testing. only been 7 or 8 days where the quest "the boon of shapes" is broken and doesnt let anyone in to the room to kneel for lady moonberry.

    useless to raid test anything if no prequals work, can't get covenant, can't do torghast, can't get conduits, can't finish the storyline, if i had not pre bought this expansion i don't think i would, no faith in blizzard.



    multiple threads on Forums with tons of comments, daily bug reporting in game i never believed someone could be so incompetent at work.

    "More raider invites that won't test anything else."

    Who cares about testing raids? I want to get in the beta because I want to 100% test my choices (covenant/soulbind/conduits) before live. We all know if SL is live and you choose wrong, you will be wasting so fkn much time, and I dont want to trying out if this or that works better, I dont wanna make wrong choices and grind back and forth between covenants and things for days/weeks and getting behind.

    edit: for example testing covenants on live can hit you hard, when you have lest say X amount of renown with soulbinds/conduits, you swap covenant and you are there with 0 amount of renown which means you will have 0 soulbind 0 conduits. So yeah, I would test on beta instead of live lmao

    You could just read up what to take, you dont need an invite to figure that out. Glad you dont have an invite since you would most likely not report a single bug.

    You're on the beta complaining about bugs. Bro, you should go and shower off all the salt coming down your shoulders. You dont seem to understand what a beta really is.

    you should probably take your roleplaying degenerate ass back to elwynn forest. that questline breaks everything that blizzard wants tested, there is a reason you are not on beta and its pretty obvious. gl with LFR in SL.
