Timewalking



Timewalking, a feature discussed a few Blizzcons ago, is finally arriving in Patch 6.2. Every few weekends we will be able to queue for "Special version" of old-school dungeons in a new sort of "Heroic" difficulty. When we queue, our gear will downscale and bring down our hero's power to the point of it's strength during the time period when specific Dungeon was active.

Currently on PTR testing are following Dungeons:
  • The Arcatraz
  • Black Morass
  • Mana-Tombs
  • The Shattered Halls
  • The Slave Pens
  • Ahn’kahet: The Old Kingdom
  • Gundrak
  • Halls of Lightning
  • The Nexus
  • Utgarde Pinnacle
So... When we, for example, queue up for Black Morass, might of our Character will downscale and he will be as powerful as any LVL70 character was at that period. When dungeon is finished, everything is returned back to normal. It's the same principle that is used currently in Ashran with PvP gear upscaling from lower to higher iLVL when you engage in combat.
