At this time, the following features have been added:

  • Level 80-85 zones are unlocked.
    • Vash’jir (Level 80-82)
    • Mount Hyjal (Level 80-82)
    • Deepholm (82-83)
    • Uldum (83-84)
    • Twilight Highlands (84-85)
  • Leveling Dungeons
  • Level 80 players will begin to gain experience.
  • Character copy
  • Archaeology

The following features are still a work-in-progress, and are unavailable for now:

  • Reforging
  • Transmogrification
  • Guild system updates
  • Dungeon Journal
  • LFD
  • Tol Barad

We’re currently tracking the following known issues:

Questing
  • The cinematic doesn’t play properly during “The Eye of the Storm”, causing the player to be stuck for ~4 minutes without being able to interact with the questgiver.
  • The quest “Be Raptor” is not completable.
  • Some cinematics don’t play properly, requiring players to Esc out of them.

Class & Combat:
  • Players can still learn some weapon skills.
  • Resistances aren’t calculating properly.
  • Druid - The Euphoria proc rate when casting Starfire and Wrat is significantly lower than it should be.
  • Druid - Mangle (cat & bear) are unlearned on logout.
  • Druid – Rejuvenation is doing significantly lower healing than it should.
  • Death Knight – Raise Dead doesn’t raise a ghoul
  • Death Knight - Rune Tap does not activate a rune immediately.
  • Goblin – Rocket Barrage doesn’t scale with attack power
  • Paladin & Warrior - Block only block 1 damage.
  • Warlock – Blood Pact gives strength instead of stamina

Misc:
  • Some Orc and Gnome NPCs are displaying untextured pink facial hair (questionable fashion choice)

More World of Warcraft Experiences to Come

It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30! This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.

Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.

We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.

With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,

Holly Longdale
