In Development Midnight: Curse of Ula'tek Public Test Realm
1

Greetings!

Midnight Season 2 dungeon testing continues on Tuesday, July 28th. The following dungeons are available for testing during this period:

  • Altar of Fangs

  • Murder Row

  • Den of Nalorakk

  • Voidscar Arena

  • The Blinding Vale

  • Temple of Sethraliss

  • Kings’ Rest

  • Ruby Life Pools

During the test period you’ll be able to acquire and customize Mythic Keystones by talking to the Keystone Vendor in Stormwind, Orgrimmar and Silvermoon. The nearby Dungeon Teleports NPC will assist you with transportation. This NPC will now also appear at the beginning of each dungeon on Mythic difficulty who can teleport players back to a capital city.

Provided that the items equipped on your character are at least item level 226, they will scale automatically to a higher level as needed to support Dungeon testing.

In Altar of Fangs, the totems now appear to be pulsing damage regardless of whether the Chieftain is next to it or not. The tooltip reads “The totem becomes unstable, inflicting 3 Nature damage every 1.5 sec until its chieftain returns or is slain.”

Not sure if this has to do with the change to Totemic Ritual with the Chieftains.

Is there any way to add a border around death grip when the mob is grippable in the cooldown manager? I don’t know if this is the right place to put it, but sucks in a m+ dungeon having to learn which mobs can be gripped and which can’t.
