Weekend Warfront: Days of Doom
The ancient site known as Doomfist Crater is one steeped in myth and lore. Now Order and Destruction forces converge upon the broken landscape, determined to deny their enemies access to whatever treasures may lay buried beneath the surface.
This weekend Days of Doom will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Doomfist Crater scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.
Completing all tasks gives the title: The Doomed
Realm versus Realm
Scenarios
In most scenarios you can now move around in the entire spawn area before the scenario starts, not just in a circle around the respawn point.
When exiting scenario spawn areas players now get a Defence Buff that lasts for 10s and gives -75% incoming damage.
The "Idle Hands" debuff from live servers have been re-added. If you are idle for 30 seconds inside the spawn area you will get the debuff. It lasts for 60s, when that timer runs out the player is kicked from the scenario. Joining the fight will immediately remove the debuff.
Guards outside of the spawn area in Black Fire Basin and High Pass Cemetery have been move inside the spawn areas.
The MMR column on the scoreboard has been removed in favour of a kill damage column. It was previously available as a tooltip on the damage column, but is now its own column. It tracks damage that contributed to a kill, which is any damage on a killed target that happened after the last time that target was at full health or out of combat.
Ranked
Triumphant insignia are now rewarded in pre-season the same way they are during seasons.
The main season is delayed until after summer, as there's not enough players to keep it alive during the middle of the summer.

- The Bile Lord will no longer begin aggro the moment the party drops down from the ledge. He'll now aggro when a player steps into his room.
Dungeon Balance: Sigmar's Crypts
- The AP drain of the Banshee mobs has been cut in half, and these abilities now properly display and are cleansable by all healers.
World Building
- New Nordland NPCs, decorated with the colours and shields of Nordland, have arrived at the Empire Chapter 1-4 camps and the Nordland Order Warcamp. As we did with the introduction of guards wearing High Elf Heraldry, we'll continue to update and add more NPCs like this to other Empire and Chaos camps and PQs in the future.
User Interface
Group and Warbands
- If you´re trying to invite someone with an already pending invite or if they are already in a group/warband you will be notified of such.
