Enhancement shamans say they are the weakest class in the beta. A duel clip says otherwise
A 164-post thread calls Enhancement the class that needs the most work: Stormstrike costs a fifth of the mana pool, and Blizzard wants shamans in caster gear they refuse to wear. At the same time, clips of an Enhance shaman killing a duel partner in a couple of hits are doing the rounds, and a new two-handed mace in the beta files explains part of it.

Forever rewrote the stats on 2,613 items, and level 30 is where testers started noticing
A tester logged into the level 30 build, found most of their gear rewritten, and asked what happened to itemization. The files show the scale: 2,613 items in Forever carry different stats from live Classic Era, and 267 of them are worn below level 33. Only twelve lose stat points overall. The rest gain armour, spell power, healing values, block chance or an equip effect, which is what makes old gear unrecognisable and turns dungeon loot rolls into arguments.

The hidden library's book rewards were re-tuned, and the first tier lost half its stats
The library of 40 unmarked books is still in the files, and so are its reward tiers, but the numbers have moved since late September. The ten-book necklaces fell from 6 Stamina and 4 Spirit or Agility to 3 and 2, and the tier dropped from item level 25 to 23. The twenty-book rings lost a stat and slid from 40 to 35. The top tier is now two reward groups rather than one, with its shields and off-hand rebuilt around healing and fire damage.

Ghost Wolf came back glowing blue, and shamans cannot agree whether to fix it or keep it
Shamans logged into the level 30 build and found Ghost Wolf glowing bright blue instead of the muted Classic form. Within three days the forums carried around ten threads about it, split between reverting it, lowering the brightness, and asking Blizzard to keep it as a barber shop option. There is no blue post either way. The same build left Stitches walking into Darkshire as a neutral mob, and Gnomeregan bosses dropping nothing until a fix on October 3.

Blizzard cut dungeon quest XP by half in the level 30 build, and the thread it answers has 1,000 posts
The build that took the WoW Forever beta to level 30 also halved the bonus experience from dungeon quests. Blizzard's note points straight at the leveling-speed feedback players have been filing for two weeks. The same build opens Razorfen Downs, Uldaman and a new dungeon in the Wetlands.

Fury Warrior rebuilt again in WoW Forever: 100% rage from crits, three new talents, two removed
A dual wield bug forced Blizzard to redo its Fury testing, and the result is another pass on the tree. Critical strikes now generate 100% extra rage, Whirlwind always strikes with both weapons, Enrage is no longer a gate to Flurry, and three new talents arrive while two are deleted.

Blizzard says it has been closing WoW Forever accounts over gold, and a trade warning is coming
After a week of forum accusations about streamers and beta gold, Blizzard says it has been continuously actioning accounts for botting and for buying or knowingly receiving illicit gold. A new warning will appear in the game whenever you trade with a stranger, and the policy covers the live game after launch.

The WoW Forever beta level cap goes to 30 today, after a maintenance of several hours
Blizzard is raising the WoW Forever beta level cap from 20 to 30 today. The beta goes offline for maintenance this morning Pacific time, this evening in Europe, and returns several hours later with a new build carrying changes, fixes and the higher cap. Full notes are promised when it is back. It is the first cap raise since the beta opened on September 17, and it opens the mid-teens and twenties dungeons for testing.

Blizzard's first class deep dives: a new 16-point talent milestone, dual spec at 40, and trainers for respecs
Blizzard has started publishing class deep dives for WoW Forever, covering Hunter and Druid first, then Priest and Warrior. The shared framework matters most: talents still start at level 10 with the familiar rows and one-point milestones at 11, 21 and 31 points, joined by a new 16-point milestone. Respecs happen at a class trainer in a major city, Legacy talents included, and dual specialisation unlocks at level 40. Several old talent buffs are now baseline.

Blizzard is surveying players on eleven new WoW Forever classes, from Bard to Witch to Tinker
A survey on the Battle.net launcher asks WoW Forever players how interested they are in eleven new classes: Monk, Demon Hunter, Tinker, Illusionist, San'layn, Necromancer, Rune Knight, Bard, Warden, Witch and Death Knight. Each has a short description, a group role, an armour type and example abilities. The Witch is a cloth ranged damage and support class with a cauldron and a life-draining Voidbolt. A survey is not an announcement, and participants were asked not to share it.

50 gold at level 20, and the mail bug that can swallow it before your alt sees it
Beta gold is easier to make than the forum arguments suggest: one creator made about 50 gold in an evening at level 20 by crafting and disenchanting. The same video flags a bug players have been reporting for over a week, where mail sent to an alt never arrives, and the two-part name system looks like the cause.

Five sealed WoW Forever dungeons now have names: The Drowned City, Blackmaw Hold, Shapers Terrace, Krol'dok
Blizzard encrypted the map rows for WoW Forever's unannounced instances, but the sound emitters placed inside them are readable and each is named after its instance. That gives names and settings for five sealed places: The Drowned City, Blackmaw Hold, Shapers Terrace, Krol'dok and the Hyjal Summit raid. Krol'dok is tuned to level 40 with a daily lock, Barrow Deeps has eleven named rooms in four wings, and The Drowned City's boss order is partly readable.
