Warcraft Rumble: Jump into PvP with Beta Patch 0.9.4

With the release of the 0.9.4 beta patch, players will get to jump into action-packed PvP rumbles. Rumble's PvP system leverages many maps, towers, and modifiers to tumble the meta and keep players on their toes! Update 0.9.4 also introduces coin awards when gaining player levels, as well as a new collectible Beast Leader: Old Murk-eye, and more! We will continue to expand our Beta audience through the end of the year and into next year as beta testing continues. We will also be adding more countries in the process.  

During the beta test, the PvP seasons will run for 3 weeks but are planned to be 6 weeks long when Rumble officially goes live. The first season of the beta began on November 13, 2022, at 01:00 UTC, and players will be able to earn PvP placements based on their top 3 leaders.

New Leader! Cast Your Eye to Old Murk-Eye

A new leader is joining the chaos—Old Murk-Eye.

Abilities:

  • March of the Murlocs (passive ability): For the next 5 seconds after playing Old Murk-Eye, spawn a Murloc Tidehunter at your base for each Gold you spend.

Talents:

  • Marathon of Murlocs: March of the Murlocs lasts an additional 5 seconds.
  • Tip of the Spear: Murlocs spawn at Old Murk-Eye instead of your base.

Meet Your Match

Matchmaking is also now available with the 0.9.4 update. Each leader will have their own Honor rating, which will be used to match players of similar PvP prowess with a given leader. Account Honor will also measure a player’s overall PvP abilities by combining their top 3 Leaders into a single Account Honor value.

  • Little Spark: 0 Honor
  • Bronze Spark 1: (1000 Honor)
