An Arena Season in the Mists of Pandaria Classic Beta will begin on Friday, June 27 at 1:00 p.m. PDT. The season will run until 10:00 a.m. PDT on Monday, July 21.
This Beta season will not include rewards. The focus will be on generating more data and feedback on the look and feel of PvP in Mists of Pandaria Classic.
Thanks to everyone for participating as we continue to adjust dampening. We greatly value your feedback. To start, we’ve set the following:
- Dampening in all brackets pushed back to 5 minutes. (Dampening was previously 3 minutes in 2v2 and instantly in 2v2 with healers on each team.)
- Dampening starts at 0%. (Previously it started at 10%.)
Please note that everything is subject to change.
After the weekend raid test concludes on June 30, we will place iLvl 490 Conquest PvP weapons on the vendors for testing.
Thank you very much!
