Blizzard's September 18 list reports incorrect glancing-blow calculations and lower-level resurrection-sickness duration. Guild charters can temporarily be submitted without signatures. Opening Legacy with Y below level 25 can cause errors. Some Waylaid Crate turn-ins await a later build. The Cooldown Manager remains incomplete.[1]
Class testing
Read the dated issue notes on Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, Warlock, and Warrior before interpreting a test. The original list also covers interface and exploration issues; this page is a selection, not a complete tracker.
Check whether the report concerns a tooltip, a character-sheet display, or actual combat behavior. Those are different observations. Keep character level and equipment fixed when comparing two tests, and record the first error rather than a chain of later errors caused by it.
Community troubleshooting reports
Error after gameplay-style selection
A player identified build 1.60.1.69893 when reporting WOW51900309 after selecting a gameplay style on September 18. Several replies reported progress after fully closing lingering Battle.net/WoW processes and allowing an update; others reported continued problems. This is a community report, not a Blizzard-confirmed cause or universal fix.[2]
Mac world-entry freezes
A player reported whole-system freezes on a Mac in build 1.60.1.69913, and said setting Secondary Lighting to Fair before entering the world avoided the issue in their subsequent session. This is a player-reported workaround; later replies describe continued crashes despite that setting. It is not a Blizzard-confirmed fix.[3]
For an installation or missing-access problem, begin with Game access and System requirements. A gameplay report is not evidence that an account has the required beta entitlement.
Record a useful report
Forever client version/build and date: OS and relevant hardware: Character, level, location, and affected ability or quest: Steps to reproduce: Expected result: Actual result and first error: Does it happen with addons disabled? Screenshot or original report URL:
Use Project:Beta verification when submitting a wiki correction. Mark a resolved issue only with a dated developer update or an explicitly described retest. Keep player workarounds separate from official fixes.
