<br />
== Interface and display ==<br />
Josh Greenfield described a built-in damage meter and flexible UI customization. A cooldown manager was planned, but he was unsure it would be in beta. Jeff Parrott said SD/HD character settings also affect other characters and NPCs.<ref>Robin Baird, [https://www.mmorpg.com/interviews/blizzcon-2026-interview-chatting-wow-forevers-campsites-horizontal-progression-and-more-with-blizzard-2000138932 Campsites, Horizontal Progression, and More], MMORPG.com, 15 September 2026. Interview with Josh Greenfield and Jeff Parrott; accessed 17 September 2026.</ref><br />

[[Transmogrification]] addresses appearance choices separately. When recording a display problem, include both appearance settings and character-model settings so contributors can reproduce what was visible.<br />
<br />
== Lighting ==<br />
Ion Hazzikostas explained that Forever's lighting changes include artists' work across the zones, alongside engine improvements; he highlighted torch- and lantern-lit patrols in Duskwood.<ref>Mila Grish, [https://www.warcrafttavern.com/forever/news/ion-holly-interview-blizzcon-2026/ Ion &amp; Holly Interview at BlizzCon 2026], Warcraft Tavern, 14 September 2026. Press interview transcript edited for clarity; accessed 17 September 2026.</ref><br />

For a helpful comparison, capture the same position, view direction, time of day, and display settings. Describe readability problems in concrete terms, such as a nameplate that becomes difficult to distinguish against the background. Do not infer frame rate or hardware requirements from promotional images.<br />
<br />
== A useful compatibility report ==<br />
Record the Forever build, operating system, input device, and add-on version where relevant. Explain one task you attempted, the exact control or setting used, and the result. A screenshot of the menu plus a short sequence of steps is more useful than a broad “works” or “broken” label.<br />
