Summary

Blizzard's original post

Blizzard's 24 September update to the known-issues list moved two quest problems to resolved and added ten new issues. Most are things the Cooldown Manager cannot track yet, such as pet cooldowns, Arcane Blast and item enhancements. Changing a party can also move players to a different world instance.

Highlights

  • Cooldown Manager cannot track pet cooldowns, Arcane Blast, the Healthstone or item enhancements
  • Priests track every spell by default
  • Forming or changing a party can move players to another world instance
  • Stormwind minimap display problems, and no combo points on the Personal Resource Display
  • Escaping Ban'ethil and Snowbound moved to resolved, with fixes due in the next beta build

What this means for players

Players relying on the Cooldown Manager should expect gaps in what it tracks on the beta. Whether each issue is fixed by launch is not stated.

Resolved on 24 September

The update moved two quest problems to its resolved list: the Escaping Ban'ethil escort in Teldrassil and the extra experience from Snowbound in Loch Modan. For both, it says the fix comes in the next beta build.

Still open
