Developer Chat, Timewalking Event – This Week in WoW 30th

Stay up to date with World of Warcraft when you join us each week as we round up some of the latest top blue posts and discussions.

Here are this week’s highlights:

Dragonflight

• Upcoming Prismatic Bauble Toy Changes: The Prismatic Bauble toy, which leaves a rainbow trail behind characters, will return to its pre-June state soon, including a longer cooldown and purchasable from a more elusive vendor.
• Fractures in Time PTR Update: The latest PTR update was released Tuesday for Dragonflight Fractures in Time and included a variety of class tuning changes and a new Mythic track for item upgrades. 
• Warlock Demon Names in Fractures in Time: Some backend changes are in the works. However, the demon names may change depending on existing Glyphs and their interaction with the new customization options in Fractures in Time.

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

• Lockout Issues for Trial of the Crusader: The lockout for this raid isn’t working correctly for some players. While finishing the raid and reclearing some bosses is acceptable, any abuse of this situation can lead to account actions at the development team’s discretion.
• Classic Era Hardcore PTR is Open: The PTR for Classic Hardcore realms was opened on Thursday. Check out the development notes or share your experiences after trying it out. A thread to collect PTR availability changes has been started.  
• Development Approach to Hardcore Realms: A post on the WoW Community Council forum focused on best-supporting player agency, some adjustments that will be made, and others that will not.
