    This patch will include the Dragon Soul raid (including its Raid Finder difficulty), three dungeons (Hour of Twilight, Well of Eternity, End Time), the legendary dagger set: Fangs of the Father, and a new iteration of the Elemental Rune Dungeons.

    Some of these features are not available for test yet, and will be added to the PTR over the next several weeks. We’re planning open the Dragon Soul raid for PTR testing on:

    • Friday January 24 - Monday January 27
    • Friday, January 31 - Monday, February 3

    Testing Focus

    We have a few new features available on the PTR.

    Dungeons:

    • Testers have access to the three new dungeons:
      • In Hour of Twilight, you’ll get a look at the desolate future of an Azeroth where Deathwing won, and battle twisted versions of beloved faction leaders.
      • In Well of Eternity, you’ll travel back 10,000 years to the court of Queen Azshara to retrieve the Dragon Soul, a powerful artifact that is critical in your fight against Deathwing.
      • In End Time, you’ll assault the Twilight’s Hammer forces in Dragonblight and escort Thrall and the Dragon Soul to Wyrmrest Temple to being the fight against Deathwing.
    • All three can be entered via the Dungeon Finder or directly in the Caverns of Time.

    Dragon Soul Raid

    • It’s finally time to take the fight to Deathwing! You’ll fight through his forces as they attack the Wyrmrest Temple, journey back to The Eye of Eternity, and travel to the Maelstrom to confront Deathwing himself.
    • Enter the raid from the Caverns of Time in Tanaris.
    • The raid includes 8 bosses.
    • This will be the 4.3.4 version of the raid, with tuning changes and adjustments intact.
    • Raid Finder Difficulty will not be available during the first raid test. We intend to test it at a later date.

    Known Issues

    • The Caverns of Time minimap has untextured areas.

    It's been a while, but haven't they got End Time and Hour of Twilight the wrong way round in that blue post?

    In Hour of Twilight, you’ll get a look at the desolate future of an Azeroth where Deathwing won, and battle twisted versions of beloved faction leaders.
    In Well of Eternity, you’ll travel back 10,000 years to the court of Queen Azshara to retrieve the Dragon Soul, a powerful artifact that is critical in your fight against Deathwing.
    In End Time, you’ll assault the Twilight’s Hammer forces in Dragonblight and escort Thrall and the Dragon Soul to Wyrmrest Temple to being the fight against Deathwing.

    End Time was the one when you went into the future, fought 2 of the 4 possible twisted leaders and Murozond and the Hour of Twilight was the 'final' of the trilogy when you ended up at Wyrmsrest and the final boss with the Arch Bishop of Stormwind who was secretly a cultist?

    It is rather ironic that the dungeons are marked as "available for testing," yet it is impossible to zone into any of them. Furthermore, there is no option for them in the LFG finder.
