War Within Alpha Realms Offline for Beta Launch Preparations

Here are the War Within Season 1 Mythic+ dungeon changes for this last week! Many tough bosses were addressed, as well as the cast times of some mobs! Of particular note, while some problematic bosses were nerfed (looking at you Viq'Goth), a lot of cast times were changed on mobs. As mentioned in our recent interview, Morgan Day and Ion Hazzikostas mentioned that they are designing less mobs to recast on a «stop». As such, we've seen some cast times get longer, while other ones become instant, making them impossible to stop.

WhenThe War Withinis out, Mythic+ changes are coming, with new affixes and more and the World of Warcraft community has already been giving lots of feedback. 

Blizzard has responded to feedback regarding Demonology & Destruction Warlocks in the War Within Beta.

Blizzard has released new development notes for The War Within Beta as of June 18th, which includes significant Hero Talent tuning.

This past weekend, Microsoft delivered the goods with their Xbox Games Showcase, rolling out trailers and announcements for a number of exciting-looking projects. What they didn’t necessarily deliver was a lot of hard release dates or even launch windows – we know some games like Avowed and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are coming in 2024, and others like Doom: The Dark Ages, Fable, and South of Midnight have broad 2025 release windows. Others, like Perfect Dark and Gears of War: E-Day have no release windows attached to them at all.

Blizzard added new entries to the list of currencies that can be sent to alts in The War Within. These additions include Timewarped Badges, Residual Memories, a currency used to purchase items related to the pre-patch events, and Mereldar Derby Marks, a currency rewarded at the new fishing tournament.
