The October 15 beta notes add a new-player tutorial, adjust racial abilities and class systems, introduce Frost Blast for Mage, and list bug fixes. The maintenance follow-up confirms realms returned and directs testers to update through the Battle.net app to client 70425. The latest explicit level-cap change remains October 1: level 30.
Blizzard may update a development-notes thread in place. The date shown here is the notes update date, not a numeric client build ID unless Blizzard states one. Client-data observations, when included, are kept distinct from official notes.
Fixed overly bright fog, unintended Horde Kirin Tor reputation, out-of-combat health regeneration, torch visuals and drink mana-regeneration tooltips.
Added a new-player tutorial, a Bloom Intensity slider in Advanced graphics, and an Auto Attack/Auto Shot option with gamepad support.
Racial abilities were adjusted for Tauren, Dwarf, Skyborne, Human, Orc, Undead, Gnome, Night Elf and Troll.
Fixed Druid healing-rank interactions and clarified Bear-form Faerie Fire threat; Moonkin Aura and Leader of the Pack now provide raid-wide effects.
Adjusted Auto Shot, traps, pet expertise and several pet abilities, including Dismember, Sonic Blast and Mine!.
Added Frost Blast at level 24: a 1.5-second cast that deals damage and slows the target by 40%.
The notes also redesign Arcane Blast and add Arcane Wrath; see the complete official notes for other class changes.
