Blizzard scheduled a beta update with a level 30 cap after maintenance on October 1. The notice also promises changes and fixes, with the detailed notes to follow.[1]
Announced maintenance windows
| Notice | Maintenance starts | Expected return |
|---|---|---|
| US | Morning of October 1, PDT | Several hours later.[1] |
| EU | Evening of October 1, CEST | Early October 2, CEST.[2] |
Neither notice gives an exact start or completion time. The US post was published on September 30 in Pacific time; its reference to the next morning means October 1, not October 2.
What still needs confirmation
The notices do not identify a client build number, list individual fixes, or name newly available dungeons or battlegrounds. A level-cap announcement cannot establish all of those details.
At the 09:49 UTC check, the linked development thread still contained the September 24 notes.[3] Check the original thread for the promised update before treating previously reported bugs as resolved. Preserve the client build and test conditions when recording a retest.
