Several of the issues related to class talents, but of particular note would be the errors related to the barber chairs and the Legacy panel, both of which are likely to be very interesting to players. Don't worry, the fixes are being worked on!
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.
