We have a new week’s worth of dev notes on the upcoming patch! The Overchargd Delve quests and the customizable belt arrive for testing. Battle for Azeroth Timewalking is also on the menu, with a testing schedule available.
Timewalking is also receiving major changes, making the dungeons much harder, especially the bosses! There are also changes to scaling, as enchantments, gems, and similar sources of power will be taken into consideration. The rewards are also upgraded, as gear from the dungeons will not be from the Adventurer track, and we get 25 badges instead of the current 10!
OVERCHARGED DELVES
- Overcharged Delve quests and the new customizable Titan Disc Belt are available for testing.
DUNGEONS AND RAIDS
- TIMEWALKING DUNGEONS
- Battle for Azeroth Timewalking is now available for testing. See the raid testing schedule for more information.
- Developers’ notes: These changes aim to make it possible to experience Timewalking dungeons more authentically, giving players the opportunity to use more abilities and practice their class’s damage rotations, healing spells, or defensives. When players wish to use Timewalking dungeons to level up, we want you to learn your class in realistic combat encounters, especially boss encounters. This also acknowledges and rewards players who take the time to acquire powerful gear, since better gear increases your damage, healing, and survivability. We will actively monitor testing and feedback and we will make further adjustments as needed.
- Enemy health increased in all Timewalking dungeons.
- Boss health significantly increased in all Timewalking dungeons.
- Adjusted difficulty scaling via the following changes:
- Lower-geared players are now slightly more damage-resistant.
- Incoming damage should be more noticeable against geared players.
- Fixed an issue where item level scaling did not account for enchantments, gems, and other power sources.
- Timewalking dungeons will now drop Adventurer gear (was Explorer).
- Completing a Timewalking dungeon now rewards 25 Timewarped Badges (was 10).
