Beta Test Release Build 44930
August 3, 2022

Testing Updates

  • Talent Preview Mode is now active. It can be turned on in the Game Menu → Interface → Features menu.
  • The Eye of Acherus, Mind Control, and similar possession interactions now use the proper action bar.
  • Northrend story capper quests now have items/Emblems of Heroism to reward players for completing storylines in each zone.
    • Developers’ notes: Wrath Classic adds phasing, a way to make the world to change around players during key storyline moments and feel more alive by making your actions have impact on your surroundings. Phasing can, however, place players in situations where two grouped friends in different phases, due to being on different steps of key quest chains. We’re testing adding Emblems of Heroism and other bonus rewards to quests that put players into different phases, providing a reason to finish off zone storylines and make it more likely that you’ll end up in the same phase as most other players you might group up with. This is not meant to be a permanent, farmable supplement or replacement for Heroic dungeons or similar content. We likely added a few quests such as repeatable or daily quests that we did not intend to, and we’re going to review the affected quests and make adjustments in future beta builds.
  • This build includes functionality for Battleground, PvP, Raid, and Dungeon weekly/daily quests, available from Archmage NPCs in Dalaran.
  • This build includes functionality for random Battleground rewards with daily wins. Please note: these are not final reward values.
  • Level 60 Onyxia should be available once again.
