The events will begin at 0:00 Midnight on July 23 (realm time) in all regions.
With Burning Crusade Classic launching only three weeks ago, we decided to postpone the Midsummer Fire Festival this year. It felt a little too soon to have players who might be taking their time feel the need to level up (or level up their alts) so they could make the most of Ahune, among other things. But we don’t want to skip a whole year, so we’ve decided to open the Midsummer Fire Festival in Burning Crusade Classic the week of July 20, 2021. It will return to its usual time coinciding with the real-world Northern hemisphere solar calendar in 2022.
Speaking of the week of July 20, there’s something else going on that week that we’re going to celebrate. The 2020 Summer Olympics is set to kick off that week, and we see that as the perfect opportunity to reintroduce the Spirit of Competition. This event only occurred once before in the history of WoW, to coincide with the 2008 Summer Olympics during the original Burning Crusade. We’re really looking forward to getting into the spirit again.
So far not been able to start any of the quests for honoring the flames in instances / main cities, haven’t checked enemy capitals yet for distinguishing the flames.
Are we missing something, or are they just not in?
Many people are suffering from a BUG. After turning in the enemy capital’s bonfire quests, you cannot receive: A THIEF’S REWARD, and therefore, the crown.
I personally cannot also see the quests:
The Festival of Fire
Wild Fires in the Eastern Kingdoms
A Light in Dark Places
Still bugged Blizzard. You’ve fixed it for people who haven’t already completed the capital quests, but for those who have, the quest is still inaccessible.
So, the event is due to end soon and this bug remains so no reward for all the players who stole the capital fires in the first few days. Top work as ever Blizzard, can see with all the support you’re putting in to the game it’s worth the subscription.
