As the Phase 6 Classic PTR continues, we now have some Naxxramas raid testing scheduled! This Thursday we get to try out 3 bosses in the Military Quarter, including the legendary Four Horsemen!

Tomorrow, Thursday, October 15, we will be begin our raid tests in Naxxramas, starting with the Military Quarter.

2:00 p.m. PDT (5:00 p.m. EDT) to 6:00 p.m. PDT (9:00 p.m. EDT)

Available Bosses:

  • Instructor Razuvious
  • Gothik the Harvester
  • The Four Horsemen

Known Issues:

  • Gothik the Harvester’s encounter may fail to clean up properly after a wipe.

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: To facilitate and expedite testing, there is an NPC named Johnny McWeaksauce that has taken up temporary residence at Light’s Hope Chapel in Eastern Plaguelands. He will provide players with Naxxramas attunement and instant teleportation into the Naxxramas raid. Johnny’s brother Jimmy, can be found within the raid and will provide access to consumables and reagents.

Q: Can I test with less than a full, content-ready raid?
A: There will be a zone aura present within the raid that will provide players with a significant health and damage boost to help them overcome the challenges of Naxxramas. The intent of these raid tests is not to provide a challenge that perfectly matches what we expect players to experience when the raid goes live. The intent is to exercise boss mechanics and give us additional confidence that the raid encounters are behaving as expected. The hope is that even if you cannot muster a full 40-person raid to test with, or wish to form a pick-up-group on the PTR, you can still participate and make considerable progress within the dungeon if you so desire.

Please use the in-game bug reporter to send us any bug reports or issues that you encounter while playtesting on the PTR. We appreciate you taking the time to test this content, and we look forward to your feedback.

      You can customize your Human and Worgen forms separately in Cataclysm Classic.
      Cataclysm Classic comes with a neat quality of life update which hasn't been included in the game when the expansion originally launched. MrGM discovered you can customize your Worgen and Human forms separately.

      Today's SoD hotfixes bring Hunter and Mage changes, as well as Arathi Basin reputation gear adjustments, and a Wrath Classic fix for certain DoTs affecting players.

      WoW Classic: Season of Discovery
      Class restrictions on Arathi Basin reputation armor rewards have been lifted on all Classic Era and Season of Discovery realms. Fixed a bug causing Blood for the Blood Loa stacks to not be exchanged when the battle is not active. Hunter Steady Shot damage increased to 75% weapon damage (was 60%). Rune of the Trapper icon should no longer be a question mark. Mage Living Flame movement speed adjusted to 86% of normal player movement speed (was 100%). Living Flame duration reduced 10 seconds (was 20 seconds) Living Flame cooldown reduced to 30 seconds (was 60 seconds). Wrath of the Lich King Classic
      Fixed an issue with Piercing Shots, Deep Wounds, and Ignite that causes them to sometimes do too much damage to players.

      Four years ago, Blizzard decided to remove the word "b****" along with its audio sound from the dialogue between Garrosh and Sylvanas. But now, it's made a comeback in Cataclysm Classic!

      The initial decision to cut the word came after Steve Dansuer, the then Lead Narrative Designer, received feedback from a team member who overheard the voice line while playing the game with his child.
      Steve agreed that removing the word didn't detract from Garrosh's message and went ahead with the edit.
      Placeholder for tweet 1298728022653075456 Now, with Cataclysm Classic, players have noticed the line's return, which isn't surprising since it was originally included in Cataclysm. You can check out the entire dialogue, thanks to N_Tys26.
      Placeholder for tweet 1766198235700580807 It remains to be seen whether Blizzard will decide to remove the line once more. Given WoW's ESRB rating of "T" for Teen, what are your thoughts on this? Share your opinions in the comments below.

      Blizzard will be removing the class requirements from Arathi basic reputation rewards. The change is coming in the next few days and will affect both Season of Discovery and Classic Era. 
      Arathi Basin Sets (Source)
      Greetings,
      We’ve seen a lot of feedback and comments recently on the Arathi Basin reputation rewards, and we wanted to let you know about a change that is coming sometime within the next few days to live realms via hotfix.
      We are going to go ahead and remove the class restrictions from Arathi Basin reputation reward 3-piece armor sets. We’ve read your feedback around this issue and we largely agree that these restrictions are fairly arbitrary and felt like this would be a good change for the game overall to allow for a bit more flexibility in PvP gearing.
      We also wanted to point out that this adjustment will also extend to WoW Classic Era realms. In discussing whether we should keep this as a Season-only change or extend it to Era, we felt that this would be strictly additive to the experience of those playing on Era realms as well.
      We appreciate the feedback we’ve received on this issue so far. Thank you and have a great weekend!
