Edit Mode & New Nameplate Options Coming to Classic Era, Season of Discovery, & Hardcore

When Patch 1.15.9 was first discovered, players speculated whether this could be a new Season of Discovery Phase, but now that speculation can be laid to rest. Blizzard has confirmed that the upcoming Classic Era, Season of Discovery, & Hardcore build will implement some of the same features that were recently introduced in The Burning Crusade Anniversary.

No Official Fresh Season of Discovery

Some of these new features include Edit Mode, more options to customize Nameplates, and modern Raid Frames. When these features were first introduced on The Burning Crusade Anniversary servers, there were issues with several addons, and these may need to be updated before they can function correctly with the new UI options.

Upcoming WoW Classic Patch 1.15.9 – Week of July 19

Similar to this week’s Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary patch, the WoW Classic games (Classic Era, Season of Discovery, Hardcore) will receive a similar patch with the start of weekly regional maintenance the week of July 19. As with the Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary patch, this patch will bring in Edit Mode and changes to players’ nameplates and raid frames to the WoW Classic games.

Some third-party addons may experience errors until they are updated by their authors. As all versions of World of Warcraft share most of their UI code, the addon API in 1.15.9 very closely matches the addon API from 2.5.6. For addon authors, we encourage you to use 2.5.6 as an environment for updating addons to be compatible with 1.15.9.

We will continue to refine our updates in the future, so that we’re providing additional options for players to modify settings wherever possible.

Thank you, as always, for your passion and feedback.
