Beta Realm Maintenance - October 8

Starting in one hour at 9:00 a.m. PDT, we will take the WoW Forever Beta down for maintenance and updates. We’re starting a bit earlier today than we have on previous Thursdays, because we’ve gathered up several fixes for behind-the-scenes, non-gameplay issues that we’re going to deploy and then test internally, in addition to a full suite of bug fixes and gameplay adjustments.

If this was a live game, we’d post in the Breaking News banner that we expect to bring realms back online by 3:00 p.m. PDT.

We’ll have a full update of our Development Notes and Known Issues posts later today.

Thank you for joining us on this adventure!

This is the make it or break it build for the beta.

This past week has not been good for positivity and optimism on this game longterm and this build really needs changes in it that reflect that, especially if it’s been radio silent on blue posts and dev communication that people are being heard,

What are you basing this claim off of?

I sure do wish we’d get the patch notes when maintenance starts so we have something to argue about while we wait for the servers to come back up.

Appreciate the heads up!

Please give us 5 extra talent points along with the legacy points so we can test everything since beta is coming to an end in 2 weeks.

I mean thats literally how the legacy points work. You generate more talent points early and dont get any from 55 to 60.

Thanks for letting us Know,. Man I wish server maintenance was more East Coast friendly, it feels bad to lose most of the day, or even the peak hours, just because where we are located.

Are we going to get an update on feral druid changes for live? Tons of discussions on here with some really good ideas to balance the class and make it fun.

Honestly this is stupid it’s down for 6 hours some people only get limited play days . Why not have it down for 2-3 hours on seperate days so it’s never down for almost 1/3 of a day

big shadow feedback thread

there’s a lot of issues that they need to address for the longterm health of the spec.

Because it takes time to perform tasks and not everything can be easily split into separate pieces.
