On Friday, June 17, and Monday, June 20, we will continue our Legion raid testing.

Remember that Heroic difficulty scales for any group size between 10 and 30 players, so feel free to assemble and bring a group of any size within that range. Mythic, of course, requires 20 and does not scale.

As always, this testing schedule is very fluid and subject to the realities of a beta 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 Dalaran, Orgrimmar, or Stormwind, you may speak to Nexus-Lord Donjon Rade Sr. 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 110 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.

Demon Invasion Testing虚空碎片Guide to the Legion Prelaunch Event and Invasions

Kaivax

With thanks to all testers who participated in our demon invasion Beta test last week, we're going to have another.

On Thursday, June 16, starting at 10:00 a.m. PDT, we will activate a demon invasion realm in the Legion Beta. This Beta realm will be dedicated to testing the pre-expansion demon invasion event with as many testers as possible for approximately 24 hours, and we expect to remove the realm after 24 hours have elapsed.

We ask that all Beta testers please join us in focusing testing on the demon invasion realm when it is available. Other Beta realms will not be available during this 24-hour test.

Please direct your pre-Legion event feedback to the Beta General Discussion forum, and please direct any feedback you have about other Legion subjects to the appropriate dedicated subforum.

Thank you very much! We’ll see you at the defense of Azeroth!

Q: In Warlords, materials were very abundant where as in Legion the materials feel very scarce. Is that the intention? On top of that how will effect players, for example raiding players who have double crafting, in this case Blood of Sargeras used to be BoE and now they are BoP, so people who have double crafting professions the only way they are going to get is through World Quests and fishing.

A: The number one thing you are seeing is that we are involving World Quests system from the top down. And so world quests are a place where we have massive tuning to do on. How often do they pop, how many rewards are available for them and that has to be balanced against how often do you see the same one, and that's a different thing that we haven't had to deal with professions before. Normally we could just pick all the nodes or pick all the places that are going to drop profession reagents and just tune it and know, okay, we know how many times you can do this based on the re-pop rate and its a much easier tuning knob to turn.

With world quests it's completely different because the content is integrated into the world and we only have a limited number of world quests in each zone that can drop certain things and we can't just say lets just make that world quest pop up 5 times more often because that completely destroys the concept with world quests system, which is that is should feel random, it should feel that every time you do it you get something fresh and something different. So I think what you are seeing there is a tuning value that we still have to-you know that's the whole concept of beta. But it is different from what we had before and what players have been used to but I think that's something that we knew was going to happen. That just means we have a little bit more tuning to do before it gets to a place that feels right.

Hi friends - I just wanted to chime in that in the next beta build you should see more Blood of Sargeras dropping from non-tradeskill sources (dungeons, in particular).

So are warriors still going to have their class quests need these dungeons. If so, this seems poorly thought out. Mythic groups usually have Ilvl requirements, and seeing as the gating of the class quest will prevent us from having the third relic slot it will put us behind a little. Honestly I'd rather that the normal dungeons open up at an early rep, and where the quests need you to do something it requires heroic/mythic instance to complete and those modes be tied to higher difficulty.
