Beta known issues
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
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.[2]
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.
