Based on your feedback, we’ve made some updates!
On Friday, July 10 starting at 10:00 PDT (13:00 EDT, 19:00 CEST), come join members of the World of Warcraft development team on the Nobundo PTR realm as we playtest the Vaults of Atal’Utek—now featuring quality-of-life improvements such as:
- An all-new quest to introduce players to the space and the Altar of Corrosion.
- A new flight network to mini-hubs within the vaults, so you can get from one end to another safely.
- Movement and stealth abilities are now baseline—unlock upgraded versions at the Altar of Corrosion.
- Flying as a ghost has been enabled in the area. No more long walks back to your corpse!
- Tuning adjustments to creature abilities, with particular attention to knockbacks, snares, and long damage over time abilities.
- A new tool that will show on your map where the majority of players are fighting.
- Ongoing bug stomping, clarity adjustments, and more.
The Vaults of Atal’Utek provide a challenging play space that requires players to work together to defeat the forces of Ula’tek. Aid ancient Amani spirits in fighting back evil undead and Children of Ula’tek monsters, gathering the Corrosive Coins required to power up the Altar of Corrosion and gain permanent benefits to help you survive the Coiled Isle.
The playtest starts at 10:00 PDT (13:00 EDT, 19:00 CEST), but activities will be available nonstop within the Vaults of Atal’Utek so feel free to show up at any point!
To prepare for this test session, make sure you’ve followed the following steps:
- Open the Battle.net App and select the WoW playscreen.
- In the game version drop-down menu, select Public Test Realm (Midnight 12.1.0) and Install.

- On the character selection screen, select ‘Copy Character’ to test with a copy of one of your characters from live realms.
