The Wyrmskull project is officially entering its public playtest phase. Built on the AzerothCore 3.3.5a branch, our goal is to provide a stable, high-performance Wrath of the Lich King environment while introducing unique, carefully integrated custom content.

We are looking for players to help us stress-test the core world and provide feedback on our primary development focus: the Aspect class.

Schedule

The playtest will run during the following window:
* Start Date: May 16th, 2026
* End Date: May 23rd, 2026

Playtest Focus: The Aspect Class

The Aspect is a fully custom class designed for the Wyrmskull ecosystem. Because this class introduces new mechanics to the 3.3.5a engine, we need active testers to help us evaluate:

* Combat Balance: Tuning damage output, threat generation, and healing throughput.
* Talent Synergy: Identifying broken combinations or underperforming talent nodes.
* Resource Logic: Ensuring class-specific resources and cooldowns function correctly in encounters.
* Visual Integrity: Reporting any issues with custom spell animations or UI elements.

General Technical Goals

Outside of class testing, we are monitoring the foundation of the server:

* Core Stability: Identifying any memory leaks or crash triggers within the C++ hooks.
* Scripting: Verifying boss AI, quest triggers, and world events.
* Latency & Load: Testing the database response time under a growing player population.

Today's "Odd Tank" is the 🇺🇸 American 'MBT(MR) Test Rig 5'

Built in the 1960's, the MBT(MR) was actually a program to replace the M60, no hulls were constructed, but various other hulls were used as test rigs for the turrets. Test Rig 5 was based on a M60 hull and the turret had a driver's position inside of it similar to the MBT-70, though the original driver's position remained as a backup. This development would lead to the creation of the M60A2 Starship.

The armament consists of a 152mm Gun-Launcher XM81E6 and what appears to be a 20mm Hispano-Suiza HS.820 autocannon.

Today’s “Odd Tank” is the 🇬🇧 British ‘A/T 1’

Built during WW2, this Amphibious tank constructed from a new hull with the turret from the Cruiser Mk.5 Covenanter. The amphibious tank did not perform well and was later scrapped with at least 4 known examples being built.

The primary armament is the Ordnance QF 2-pounder 40mm gun.
The A/T 1 could manage a top speed of 8km/h in water and 16km/h on land.
