Blizzard has altered the testing schedule for Mythic+ dungeons on the Patch 12.1 PTR, noting that the dungeons will swap on Tuesdays rather than on Thursdays. In addition, Blizzard has released developer notes noting many changes to the current dungeons.
Greetings!
Midnight Season 2 dungeon testing continues on Thursday, July 2nd. We are making an adjustment to our Mythic+ testing schedule.
July 2nd - July 6th: Midnight Dungeons
The Blinding Vale
Den of Nalorakk
Murder Row
Voidscar Arena
July 7th - July 13th: Legacy Dungeons
Temple of Sethraliss
Kings’ Rest
Ruby Life Pools
July 14th - July 22nd: All Season 2 Mythic+ Dungeons
During the test period you’ll be able to acquire and customize Mythic Keystones by talking to the Keystone Vendor in Stormwind, Orgrimmar and Silvermoon. The nearby Dungeon Teleports NPC will assist you with transportation. This NPC will now also appear at the beginning of each dungeon on Mythic difficulty who can teleport players back to a capital city.Provided that the items equipped on your character are at least item level 226, they will scale automatically to a higher level as needed to support Dungeon testing.
