Good to get some feedback from Blizzard regarding the Beta and the current status.

Apologies for the lack of an update in a while. We’ve been “head down” trying to make as many changes as possible for the next Beta Push. The data on the Beta servers is pretty stale at this point and we’re really looking forward to getting some fixes live.

Heroic Difficulty

For testing purposes, the reputation requirement for the Heroic Difficulty dungeons will be reduced to Neutral. The reputation will be returned to Revered when the game goes live. Our current intention is that Revered should be achievable by doing the Exterior Zone quests along with 4-5 dungeon runs.

When the next push goes live, the following dungeons will have their base pass ready for Heroic testing:

Shattered Halls
Blood Furnace
Ramparts
Slave Pens
Underbog
Steamvault
Mana-Tombs
Sethekk Halls

Please note, the boss encounters in these Heroic Difficulty dungeons have not been tuned properly with the exception of the Ramparts.

Other Changes/Bug Fixes
Many changes and bug fixes have been made to all of the dungeons, including Karazhan.

–Significant spawning changes have been made to Sethekk Halls. Please note, Talon King Ikiss still needs tuning. He’s too easy.
–Significant changes have been made to Auchenai Crypts. Unfortunately, additional boss tuning has also taken place in here but those changes did not make this upcoming push.

Tempest Keep: Arcatraz

When the next push goes live, the Arcaztraz will be open for business. We look forward to hearing your feedback. The front door is locked, but only one person needs the key. They key is obtained via quest after completing the Ata’mal Crystal questline.

Summary

While feedback on all dungeons is immensely valuable to us, we need the most focused testing by you guys on the following content:

–Heroic Difficulty of the dungeons listed above
–Karazhan
–Sethekk Halls
–Tempest Keep: Arcatraz
