Raid Testing Schedule - June 7th

On Friday June 7th, we will be conducting Mythic raid testing in The Eternal Palace.

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.

World of Mountcraft. Gotta collect 'em all

[RobertoCarlos]

I want a mount that lets my mount mount a mount

[HitRefresh]

Tychus cat!

[TheWorkingTitle]

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.

[MrExcelion]

Fixed a bug that caused the Fallen Protectors to be invincible.

They were horses?

[Monozuki]

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..)

[Vampyr78]

One question: Where is the BEE!?

[FelPlague]

Exalted+ 500k?! Fuck that.

frogs 333k each
yak 120k
brutosaur 5 million
spider 2 million

Now this is a mount I can care about

[Brewhan]

too many mounts in the game already its meh to me. This is just a hook to keep people that have an obsession or OCD with collecting for them to stay subscribed. Cmon blizz make some class changes bring back the RPG in your MMORPG.

[Magicon]

If they just focused less on collectibles and mors on gameplay..

[TheRevenantHero]

I'm getting absolutely fucking sick of the gold sink mounts.

[aeuhe4yxzhds]

Exalted+ 500k?! Fuck that.

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.
