Beta Realm Maintenance is Underway - September 24

We took the Beta down for maintenance and to deploy a new build. We don’t have an ETA just yet, but it should take at least a couple of hours.

We’ll have a full change log (development notes) as well as updated known issues post here soon.

Little more heads up than the 15 min warning turning into a 5 second warning woulda been cool but thanks for the update.

Thank you. Relatively timely, as just as I was looking for this.

Does this mean I’ll finally be able to see the graphical goodness on my Mac? Or is this strictly a server update?

Please god no. As much as I would love it, I don’t think we are prepared for trade chat to go form VC vs DM debate to: why do I have -99 fps??!!

Healers a bit more difficult in classic topic to touch. They become op if they can be too aggressive very quickly.

Tanks however, you just need to change your mentality and pull more than 1 mob and play your survival to your speed efficiency.

This could be mitigated by making dual spec easy to get/cheap early on. Go heals/tank for instances and grouping and a dps spec for questing. idk why dual spec is locked behind a much higher level and (probably) steep gold cost.

[edit] - ESPECIALLY with the increased focus on lower level dungeons/new dungeons. I would be more than happy to run my druid as heals for instances at low levels but going resto spec for questing is miserable. They really should consider making dual speccing much easier to get earlier.

Is there ever going to be any sort of acknowledgement about the memory leak issue that’s ongoing?
Frames steady over 100 until you enter a highly crowded city - frames dip to 30ish - when you leave the crowded city, the frames stay way lower and hover in the 40-50 range until you logout and log back in again, where it then shoots back up to 100+

Most betas don’t just randomly shut down servers without warning to deploy a new build for an extended maintenance window. Usually these things are scheduled and communicated. Stop making excuses.
