We’re opening the WoW Forever Beta today with the following known issues.

Known Issues

September 17, 2026

  • Barber Chairs cause a LUA error.
  • Character friends in Beta disabled.
  • The minimap may be partially off the screen.
  • Waylaid Crates do not function on items with a maximum stack size smaller than the quantity required. This is fixed in the next Beta build.
  • Waylaid Crate: Apprentice Curiosities does not accept Greater Magic Essence, and incorrectly allows you to target Lesser Magic Essence. This is fixed in the next Beta build.
  • Teldrassil - During the quest “Escaping Ban’ethil”, Sentinel Lynessa Duskblossom runs a bit too fast and spams her Strike ability. This is fixed in the next Beta build.
  • Starshards (Night Elf Priest Racial) does not benefit from the Twilight Focus talent. This is fixed in the next Beta build.
  • Vengeance (Retribution Paladin Talent) can activate off of periodic critical strikes. This is fixed in the next Beta build.
  • Ranking up Holy Strike doesn’t feel great per rank. This is fixed in the next Beta build.
  • Character pane does not display Level, Class or Titles (work in progress)
  • Create Firestone Ranks 3 and 4 do not display the conjured item tooltip portion of these abilities. This is fixed in the next Beta build.
  • Warlock pets do not display Mana as a resource on the character sheet, and do not mention the scaling from their master (work in progress).
  • Warlock pets do not display the correct scaling for Health from Stamina on the character sheet (work in progress).
  • Pet Hit chance for both Hunters and Warlocks do not display the master’s scaling coefficient (work in progress).
  • Pet Expertise is not displayed for both Hunters and Warlocks (work in progress).
  • Pet Movement Speed’s information on the character sheet is not displaying the correct base values in yards per second (work in progress).
  • The Glancing Blow chance for casters is incorrect at all levels, and the damage reduction of a glancing blow is also incorrect (work in progress).
  • The Glancing Blow damage reduction penalty for Melee is incorrect on targets that are higher level than themselves.
    • The chance a Glancing Blow occurs is correct for all levels for melee characters, and the damage reduction penalty for Glancing Blows for equal-level targets is correct. It is only the damage reduction penalty against higher level targets that is incorrect (work in progress).
  • Because of the above, the Glancing Blow chances displayed on the character sheet are not accurate (work in progress).
  • You can open the Legacy System with the hotkey “Y” before reaching level 25. Doing so results in LUA errors on tab 1 and 3.
  • Player’s may find they are unable to sign guild charters. To alleviate this, we have temporarily made it possible to hand-in a guild charter with no signatures. (work in progress)
  • Coldridge Valley does not reveal on the map when explored. This will be fixed in the next Beta build.

This post will be updated as issues are resolved and/or added to this list.
