Band Tryouts April 13: Uldir

On Friday, April 13, we will be holding our first Battle for Azeroth Raid Test! The main goal of this band test is to identify any stability issues that may affect the normal band test. During the test, we will focus on a boss and monitor the stability of the server. This will also be an opportunity to preview Uldir's gang and provide feedback on the boss and the area itself. This test is important to ensure version stability when we start a more comprehensive band test inviting many more raiders.

Q: How do I access the band area?

A: In Boralus, Zuldazar, or Dalaran, you can speak to Nexus Lord Donjon Rade III to teleport to the raid zone while it is open for testing (the option to teleport to a zone will not be available when the zone is not open for testing. proof).

Q: What character should I use to test?

A: The one you prefer. We will scale the effective level of the players to 120 for the raid tests, and their ilv to an appropriate threshold for the matches that are being tested.

Q: How long do the tests last?

A: The main purpose of testing is to provide us with the information we need to balance matches, assess how mechanics work in practice, and identify errors. Once we are satisfied with all the reports received for a given boss, we will close the tests. This usually takes 45 minutes to 2 hours, but there are no guarantees.

On Friday, April 13th, we will be conducting our first raid test of Battle for Azeroth! The primary purpose of this raid test is to identify any stability issues that would impact normal raid testing. For the duration of the test we will focus on one boss and monitor the server's performance. This will also be an opportunity to preview the Uldir raid and provide feedback on both the boss and the zone itself. This test is important to ensure build stability when we start full raid testing once more raiders have been invited to test.

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.
