A few moments ago, we made a new client build available to Beta testers:
WoW Forever 1.60.1 Build 69977
Exit the Beta, go to your Battle.net App, and update your client to this new build to test fixes for:
This client build also includes other fixes for issues that are not testable in-game.
Our next full weekly update is coming on September 24.
Today, we’ve fixed an issue with the quest “A Firm Response”. The issue was:
The event that takes place during “A Firm Response” would become stuck and Windshaper Skyborne on Zephras Isle could not proceed. You’d walk up to talk to Belathaan Brightwish near the Shrine of Akir on Zephras to start the event and it would then lock up and stall after Lorthuna Spawned.
We attempted a fix a couple of days ago, but it didn’t work. Today’s fix looks like it worked, and we’re seeing testers complete the quest.
As many Beta testers in this region know, in the first couple of days of the WoW: Forever Beta, we experienced routing issues that impacted testers’ ability to move, interact with the world, and in some cases, to stay connected. We immediately put our engineers on the case and they’ve been working to understand and address any parts of the issue that were within our control.
I’m happy to report that, over the last 24 hours, we’ve developed and implemented solutions to streamline routing to the Beta for the EU region.
As we continue to carefully observe the game performance for EU testers, we can see that there may still be routing issues for some players that are out of our control. This is always the case when a local Internet Service Provider (ISP) is experiencing a connection issue, or something upstream from the ISP is temporarily routing via a less-direct route for whatever reason, or the players themselves are running firewall-type software that’s introducing a slowdown (and in some cases, outright blocking connection to the game).
We believe that our fixes for issues that were within our control should have improved (and hopefully fixed) what some players were experiencing.
And we will continue to monitor the situation very closely. Finding and fixing game performance issues is a key reason to do a public test like this one.
Thank you very much for your patience and understanding.
