World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

On Thursday, September 22 at 4:00 p.m. PDT (7:00 p.m. EDT), we’ll host a playtest of Wintergrasp on the Wrath Beta.

Please join us at that time, queue for the Wintergrasp battleground, and play with the blues as we try to spin up multiple instances of it. Later, we’re planning to see to it that the outdoor version of the Wintergrasp zone experiences authentic, official shenanigans.

We’ll see you there!

• High Test Eternium Fishing Line that was applied prior to Wrath of the Lich King Classic pre-patch should now correctly grant +5 Fishing Skill (was +2).

Hello, Warriors.

This week we’ve mostly been fixing errors and tweaking things for the Class, Arms and Fury trees. We’re happy with where these are at and don’t intend to make any large changes moving forward. Arms and Fury and the various options within seem to be preforming well and people are enjoying them, we’ll be monitoring feedback and tuning things where needed.

We’ve focused more on the Protection tree this week and provide more details on this below.

Class Tree

• Bitter Immunity – Once again more easily available, but now no longer clears Bleeds.
• Reinforced Plates – The armor values should now be correctly calculated.
• Battle Stance – Now reduces the effects of Root and Snares by 10% (was 15%).
• Bers...

Thanks for kicking this off Sixxfury and to everybody who has shared their thoughts so far.

Some of you have covered this already, but we’re very interested in hearing what you all are most excited about after the Lich King is defeated. Based on the discussions in this thread so far, there seem to be two general directions for this:

1. If Wrath is a bit of a stopping point for you, what would make you most interested in playing WoW Classic in the future? (Seasons, Fresh Start experiences, or anything that appeals to you)
2. Does the possibility of continuing on to Cataclysm sound exciting to you? If so, are there still changes you’d like to see? If not, are there certain changes that would get you excited?

Note that these questions aren’t meant to be all encompassing, so if you have something else to add, please share that. We look forward to reading your feedback!
