Conflict and Strife Essence Power Clarification Recently the new essence received from PvP which gives you access to an extra PvP talent, that also works in PvE situations, has made waves and there are plenty of threads about it on the forums. One in particular got a blue response which clarified just how powerful and how relevant the essence is supposed to be for PvE-focused players. Each spec gets a specific PvP talent added and some of them currently selected on the PTR are a little too powerful and feel mandatory for PvE, such as Moonkin Aura for Boomkins and Leader of the Pack for Feral Druids, but Blizzard clarified it is not their intention to have must-have talents for PvE available through the essence, as its primary goal is to add additional choice for PvP players.

Second Classic Stress Test Coming on May 29th It seems the first stress test didn't quite do the job yet, as Blizzard are scheduling a second one next week, due to more issues with the first one than were anticipated (mainly of the login screen variety). Everyone that was invited to the first one will also be invited to the second, the level cap will be raised to 10 and it will also be available for a full day, starting at 2pm PDT on Wednesday, May 29th.

The first stress test turned out to be a lot of fun, once players managed to log in, as Blizzard spawned in many raid bosses at the end, including Ragnaros and C'thun, while many people went for more serious raiding experiences, such as the big level 5 Hogger raids.

WoW Classic Stress Test 1 Ending Info The initial stress test has ended on Classic Beta, but the stress test realm will remain accessible for play until Thursday, May 23 at 6:00 pm PDT, meaning you still have enough time to play within the level 1-5 range if you were invited, because many players had difficulties logging in to the game for many hours.

8.2 PTR: Gnome and Tauren Mount Size Changes Some huge (and tiny) news coming out of the PTR today, as we're finally getting some mount size adjustments for Gnomes and Tauren! This has been a long-standing issue since...well since Vanilla really, with Tauren getting stuck on doorways and a lot of the mounts for both races never looking quite right. Well, today Gnomes can catch their mount's reins for the first time and Tauren... well they might fit through some doorways. The change only applies to "normal" size mounts for Tauren, as smaller ones (like hyenas) remain unchanged. Blizzard can now also fix issues where some mounts appear too small for certain races and they're looking into it.

In any case it's an amazing change which makes 8.2 even more highly anticipated, and you can read the details on it below. World of Warcraft WoW May 22, 2019 at 23:19 by Starym 2 comments

8.2 PTR: Breath of Sindragosa, Glimmer of Light Changes We have some changes and declarations of not doing changes for Death Knights and Paladins on the PTR today, as two powerful abilities of both classes are being discussed.

Frost Death Knights have been through some changes on the 8.2 PTR, focusing on Breath of Sindragosa and Blizzard have been struggling to get it just right. The main issue with the powerful ability is that it takes away a huge amount of resources from the rotation, creating a big gap where you can't do much. While detailing some previous solutions as well, in the end the devs opted for Breath to give the DK runes at the beginning and end of its cast.

Classic Stress Test and Beta Invite Clarifications Blizzard have announced that the invites for today's stress test have all gone out, with a reminder there are more tests coming, as well as clarified how exactly the general invite process works. Also, unfortunately for everyone that doesn't have one yet, they're also sending out fewer and fewer beta invites, as they're nearing their goals for current testing. 

The test starts in just over an hour, at 4pm PDT, 1am CEST and will last until tomorrow at the same time. We also have a list of working addons for the test which you can check out here. World of Warcraft WoW May 22, 2019 at 21:50 by Starym 5 comments
