We’ve deployed an update to the 3.4.3 PTR.Build: 51470
Icecrown Citadel
We’ve received a lot of feedback and bug reports from Icecrown Citadel testing, and we plan to have one more raid test next week from Tuesday, September 26 at 10:00 a.m. PDT to Friday, September 29 at 5:00 p.m. PDT.We’ll post an update with bug fixes and other adjustments specific to Icecrown Citadel sometime early next week.
Titan Rune Dungeons – Defense Protocol Gamma Adjustments
We’ve added achievements for each defense protocol gamma dungeon, including a meta achievement for completing all of them. As a special thank you from the WoW Classic Development Team, we’ve also added a special reward for this meta achievement that is new to Wrath of the Lich King Classic; the adorable ghostly pup, Arfus!
- Developers’ notes: For some time, Arfus has been an unofficial mascot to the WoW Classic Dev team, and we thought it would be nice to get a model made for him and added into Wrath Classic so we could share our love for this good ghostly boy with all of you. Please note that the model visuals and sounds we have in the current build are not complete and we should have the completed version in our next PTR build early next week. The WoW Classic Dev team wants to express our sincere gratitude for joining us on the 3.4.3 PTR, as well as for playing Wrath of the Lich King Classic with us! THANK YOU!
- Trinkets, Rings, Necklaces, and Cloaks from 25-Player Ulduar Hard Modes have been added to the Deflier’s Scourgestone vendors in Dalaran for 60 Defiler’s Scourgestones each.
The Oculus
We have increased the scaling and damage output of the drakes in The Oculus to better align with each of the difficulties. We’ve also set up new rewards:
- Gamma now drops 2 more Defiler’s Scourgestone in the final chest.
- Other Heroic, non-Gamma difficulties now drop 3 more Emblems of Triumph in the final chest.
- The Reins of the Blue Drake should now drop in all version of Oculus via Random Dungeon Finder.
