Hunt down the weekly location, take a screenshot of yourself there, submit it on our sweepstakes site, and you could win big prizes!
The WoW Selfie Scavenger Hunt sweepstakes has begun, and every week you have a chance to win Blizzard gear, Battle.net Balance codes, or an iPhone 6—and every week you enter it increases your chances to win the Grand Prize: a trip for two to BlizzCon 2015!
Visit the WoW Selfie Scavenger Hunt site now to enter, and come back each week for a new challenge.
Awesome! Now, if only that camera would come up...
Per the rules and posted "How to take a screenshot..." section of the site, use of the S.E.L.F.I.E. camera is encouraged but in no way required. A normal screenshot works too.
how close to replicated do you want it? Clearly the person in the picture for week 1 is missing some clothes and is getting attacked. Are those required as well? Or just the location?
Really just location and direction of the camera. We'll only disqualify entries that clearly were not replicating the weekly image.
Not available in my country. great, thanks, 10/10.
I'm sorry to hear that. It's a sweepstakes which does limit the number of countries and states that can participate due to their local laws and regulations regarding "games of chance." We try to run a wide array of contests, and include as many countries and states as possible for the type of contest we want to run, in accordance with their local laws.
The picture on the scavenger hunt website is way too small. I can barely see what's in the background. Can you make it a higher-res larger image? Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback, we'll look into that. In the meantime if you right click it and open it in a new tab/window you'll get a bigger version to look at.
Raid Testing Schedule - May 20

We will be continuing our Hellfire Citadel raid testing in the new PTR build. As is always the case with PTR raid testing, it is quite possible that there will be technical or gameplay issues that disrupt our plans. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
Remember that Heroic difficulty scales for any group size between 10 and 30 players, so feel free to assemble and bring a group of any size within that range. Mythic difficulty requires a fixed 20 players. Our general plan is to test every encounter on Heroic difficulty first, and then test sections of the raid on Normal and Raid Finder, alongside targeted Mythic tests.
Each encounter should be available at approximately the listed times below on all PTR servers.
Wednesday, May 20
We may have additional scheduled testing later in the week, and will update the schedule accordingly if so. We will also be opening the Destructor's Rise Raid Finder wing over the weekend (Zakuun, Xhul'horac, and Mannoroth).
As always, this testing schedule is very fluid and subject to the realities of a PTR environment. We might have to change the time of a testing session, change the boss being tested, or cancel a test entirely, due to bugs, server hardware issues, etc. Keep an eye on this forum for the latest information, and thank you in advance for testing and providing feedback.
