HELIOS

Dear players,

as promised, today we bring you more information about what you soon will be able to experience on Mists of Pandaria ‒ patch 5.2 content, and the planned PvP Instant Level 90 realm (possible to experience at the same time thanks to our recently implemented cross-realm technology)!

5.2 Content Progress

We have recently made significant progress in our work on the Throne of Thunder. All reported issues have been fixed, and we are currently testing tier set bonuses. Our next plans are to correct the health and damage values and immunities, scheduled to be retested in the next two weeks, and once this is accomplished, we will conduct a public raid test. If no major issues arise, the raid will then be fully finished and ready for you to enjoy!

Our developers have also been working on the Isle of Thunder, general bug fixes, and the new PvP realm. Everything else from 5.2 (with the exception of the Warlock Green Fire questline) is either completed or nearing completion.

The following Isle of Thunder scenarios are ready for testing on our MoP PTR realm. Please use the TwinStar NPC to join the scenarios:

• Assault on Shaol’mara
• Assault on Zeb’tula
• Tear Down This Wall!
• To the Skies!
• Stormsea Landing
• Troves of the Thunder King

If you wish to assist with the testing of the raid and scenarios (and be rewarded for it), please write to Jeniczek on Discord.

Instant Level 90 PvP Realm

Over the last two weeks, huge amount of work has been put into the designing of this project, such as:

• Fully customized starting location built by our skilled mappers, with unique environment designed specifically for PvP battles.
• Over 50 custom vendors have been designed and coded, offering everything you need for PvP.
• Three main spec-specific character templates with included equipment, spells, glyphs and riding (Healer, Meele, Ranged), ready to be used in-game.
• Customized Battleground and Arena rewards.

The last few tasks we are focused on include:

• A few more special trainers providing profession spells.
• Implementing the final realm-specific settings.
• Testing the cross-realm mechanics, including various content tests.

Plans for the upcoming weeks

In the next week, we will be doing some polishing and we will start intensive testing. During this period, the realm will also enter an introductory phase, during which it will already be cross-realmed with Helios. We anticipate the full release in approximately 3 to 4 weeks.

We hope you are as excited as we are and we can’t wait to share more details with you soon! Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm, and stay tuned for more updates!
