PTR Dungeon Testing Schedule for Season 3 of The War Within
With the announcement of the next content update for The War Within, Ghosts of K’aresh, Blizzard has also established a testing schedule for the next season of Mythic+ dungeons.
Dungeon testing will begin on the Public Test Realms starting June 24th at 10 AM PDT. Each week of testing will focus on a different dungeon or set of dungeons, starting with the new Eco-Dome Al’dani instance for Week 1. You can view the complete schedule in the original blue post below.
Season 3 features new Waystone objects to make clear where respawn checkpoints are located within each dungeon. The distances between checkpoints in existing dungeons has also been shortened.
To start testing, you’ll be able to speak to Keystone Vendors in Stormwind and Orgrimmar, and then visit the Dungeon Teleports NPC nearby to head to the dungeon.

Greetings!
The War Within Season 3 dungeon testing begins on Tuesday June 24th at 10:00 PDT (13:00 EDT, 20:00 CEST). Please note that the test period may be adjusted in the event of technical difficulties.
For season 3 of The War Within, our testing schedule will focus on specific dungeons each week to concentrate feedback and facilitate larger content and balance updates between each PTR cycle. Alongside the daily rotation of affixes for +2 to +12 key levels, each week will spotlight a subset of Season 3 dungeons for focused testing.

For The War Within Season 3, all dungeon checkpoints have been updated to include a new toast notification, a map icon, and an in-game Waystone that clearly marks your respawn location. Many respawn locations have been adjusted to be shorter, and we’d like to hear your feedback on this update.
During the test period you’ll be able to acquire and customize Mythic Keystones by talking to the Keystone Vendor in Stormwind or Orgrimmar, and the nearby Dungeon Teleports NPC will assist you with transportation.
We look forward to hearing your feedback!
