Recent WoW: Forever beta updates cover bugs being addressed, new content like a dungeon and a starting zone, and class-related changes and reveals.

Beta Build Fixes

Several bugs in the current WoW: Forever beta build have been acknowledged. Ghost Wolf's unusually bright appearance has been confirmed as temporary, with a fix said to be in the works. Similarly, Stitches in Duskwood is currently neutral instead of attacking players, which Blizzard has confirmed is a bug that will be fixed so he goes back to terrorizing the area. Aidan Moon has also confirmed a bug affecting Warrior rage generation while dual-wielding.

Changes in the Latest Build

The newest beta build also introduced some direct changes. Skinning is no longer group-wide, meaning creatures can now only be skinned once before they disappear. Separately, the melee ring reward obtained through book collecting is no longer restricted to Rogues only.

Blizzard also announced beta maintenance to prepare for a new build, with a 45-minute warning given before the downtime began.

New Content

Josh Greenfield announced that this week's beta content includes one new dungeon, the Excavation Site, located in the Wetlands. No Dalaran dungeon was made available this week.

Wowhead also detailed the story of Zephras Isle, the starting zone for the new Skyborne race introduced in the first build of the WoW: Forever beta, covering the separate quest content for both the Horde and Alliance versions of the storyline.

Class Design

In a WoW: Forever podcast, Principal Designer Kris Zierhut stated that Rogues will have the highest single target damage in WoW: Forever. Separately, Mobalytics published a guide on Rogue leveling.

Community and Events

Tips Out announced a $100,000 WoW: Forever Dueling tournament to take place during the WoW: Forever Beta. Registration for the tournament was reported to be closing tomorrow due to the number of sign-ups received.

A WoW: Forever video was also published on YouTube.
