WoW Forever beta known issues: guilds, classes, Legacy and UI

A dated guide to WoW Forever beta issues affecting guild creation, class testing, Legacy and the interface, with source links and a practical bug-report template.

Known issues checked on 18 September

This is a selected reading guide to Blizzard’s 17 September issue list, checked again on 18 September. It is not a complete bug tracker. “Next build” describes an announced fix target; it does not establish that the fix is live. Follow the linked thread for subsequent changes.

Selected official reports, not results of RaidMuster gameplay testing.

Separate a display problem from a gameplay result

If a displayed statistic looks wrong, preserve a screenshot and the conditions under which it appeared. A confusing panel does not, by itself, establish how damage, healing or resource use behaved. Equally, a tooltip that looks correct is not proof that an interaction worked.

For class planning, keep the build you intended to test alongside your observations. Our nine-class talent guide index is a starting point for those questions. Avoid declaring a talent mandatory or unusable from a single unexplained result.

How we handle community reports

Player reports can reveal useful patterns before an official list changes. They still need a date, a client build and a link to the original account. Several retellings of the same post are not independent confirmation.

For example, players have reported macOS client crashes. This is a community report, not evidence that every Mac is affected or that a particular workaround is verified. Record your own hardware and system version if reporting a similar failure.

A bug-report template for your group

Make one clear report per issue. Use the beta’s reporting channels and describe observed behaviour without guessing its underlying cause.

  • Date, client build and character level.
  • Class, relevant talents, equipment and location.
  • Exact steps leading to the problem.
  • Expected result and actual result, in separate sentences.
  • Whether it repeated, and under what conditions.
  • A screenshot or short recording showing the relevant state; hide private chat and account details.

Keep a small follow-up list

Give each unresolved question a person responsible for checking it after a new build. Preserve the earlier observation instead of overwriting it, then add the new result with its date. This makes it easier to tell a changed condition from a genuine fix.

For joining problems, use the guild creation guide. For a manageable first session, use the week-one testing plan. Neither guide replaces Blizzard’s current issue thread.

We have not added purported bug screenshots without a verifiable source. Screenshots supplied by your own testers are useful evidence when they include the client build and enough context to understand the failure.
