Beta build for WotLK Classic has some surprise

Last night on August 4, 2022, the Blizzard developers released a new build for the WoW: Wrath of the Lich King Classic beta. On the one hand, it provided important fine-tuning and fixed numerous bugs. On the other hand, there were also some innovations, some of which we had not expected:

  • Under “Interface” you will find the new tab “Features”, where you can not only activate the equipment manager of WotLK Classic, but also the freshly implemented talent change preview for the beta. This allows you to review (and correct) your selected talents in the talent window before you confirm your entries.

This is what the new features menu looks like in the WotLK Classic beta.This is how the new features menu looks like in the beta of WotLK Classic.

  • Quests that complete Northrend stories will now reward you with emblems of heroism or additional items. Read more details in this article.
  • From the Archmages in Dalaran, beta testers can now accept the daily and weekly quests for Battlegrounds, Raid Instances, Dungeons, and PvP. Note: Away from the Dungeon Daily, however, we have not yet been able to accept Raid Weekly from Archmage Lan’dalock. At that time, weekly tasks for raid instances were not introduced until Patch 3.3.
  • A new feature has been introduced that promises you random battleground rewards for daily victories. The current rewards are not supposed to be the final ones.
  • Raid boss Onyxia has been reset to level 60.

Yet more raid tests

Surprise: There will be more raid tests after all, to test the implemented bugfixes (via official WoW forum). The tests will start today, August 04, 2022. How long Naxxramas and Co. will be available is unclear.

In addition, Blizzard announced (via official WoW forum) that the currently running arena test – Season will only run until 09 August 2022. Until then, all matchmaking restrictions have been relaxed so that testers won’t have to wait so long for the next game.
