Dear players from Helios and Erebos!

We would like to share our plans for the upcoming weeks, and the features you may look forward to!

Patch 5.2: The Thunder King

Mark your calendars and get ready for the thundering arrival of the next instalment in our Mists of Pandaria journey: Patch 5.2, going live on Wednesday, December 11th! We will share the precise details about what this patch entails for Helios two weeks before the launch, but here are a few highlights of what is to come:

  • New Zones: Isle of Thunder (and all its scenarios), and the Isle of Giants. ⛈️
  • New World Bosses: Nalak and Oondasta. 🐉
  • New Raid: The Throne of Thunder! ⚡
  • Continuation of Wrathion’s Legendary Quest Line ‒ earn new legendary meta gems as you progress! 💎
  • Warlock Quest Line ‒ enjoy a detailed quest line awarding the Codex of Xerrath and unlock its forbidden knowledge to receive new fel spell visuals. 🔥
  • Mantid Archaeology ‒ uncover rare Mantid artifacts from across Pandaria! 🏺

PvP News

There are also several major PvP improvements that we have been working on!

  • In a couple of days, the PvP matchmaking system will be upgraded, resulting in additional gains. There upgrades will allow you to push to rating 2200 and beyond, which will make it possible to obtain Elite Gear and further rewards! 🛡️
  • Additionally you will be able to obtain seasonal rewards from SoloQueue, including seasonal titles and the gladiator mount. 🏅

Lastly, we would like to announce the end term for the current PvP season ‒ on the 11th of December, 2024, coinciding with the launch of patch 5.2, the gates of ranked battlegrounds and arenas will be closed, followed by an evaluation week, during which you will not be able to enter any arenas. After that, the long-awaited, fully new Season 13 will begin!

Happy adventuring!
