Good to see someone getting a invite that actually deserves it!

As for things to check out, like Kalo said, check if the weather system is there and also, is the combat text vanilla like? When you crit, do the damage number appear bigger?

As far as i have seen in the streams the weather system is not active.

Let's hope they report it. The weather system is one of the better things about vanilla.

Yeah, but that has something else to do with you. You have a big forum which generates a lot of traffic. This will also make Blizzard aware of you. The rule for normal people will still be to have an active subscription.

But I find it absolutely ridiculous to say that Blizzard only invites people who have an active account to the beta. Sry, what is that? The real veterans and classic lovers don't even play retail wow for the most part, and then we're supposed to sign up in the hope that we might get a beta key?

I don't care. I'll wait for August, reserve my name and then play.

congratz teebling ! Did you get your invitation randomly or did you get it as a content creator (as owner of barrens.chat) ?

i was very interested about getting one for my website (checking values etc..) and making an addon version, but i don't know if blizzard would be ok to give me one, and i don't even know how to contact them properly

Not sure man, I was in touch with them a month ago and they asked for my battle tag so I guess because of the site.

Will try and hop on for a bit later on and answer your questions about weather, reputation etc.

There has been some footage on youtube showing quest arrows on the minimap.
Could you please confirm if they are in the game indeed?
I wish they would keep it like in Vanilla - meaning no quest arrows.

What’s your graphics card (or integrated?) on your laptop and how high can you turn up the graphics? Possibly include CPU too, please.

Can confirm, the download is about 8GB. Uncompressed it is 8.35GB. Mac OS X Mojave.

I'm playing on a SHIT Macbook Air at the moment from 2015 which doesn't even have dedicated graphics. It's on a 1.6GHz i5 with Intel HD 5000 integrated graphics. The system 'recommends' a setting of '3' for me, which I was actually pleasantly surprised by (thought I'd have to run it on baaaare minimum). No anti-aliasing of course but it's very smooth - I have the 'classic' graphics selected so it looks identical to vanilla screenshots I've seen for comparison, and doesn't require a great deal of power as a result. You can run classic very nicely on anything mate, is my conclusion.

I read this post yesterday at work and I must have not been reading very closely because I don’t remember that at all! :oops:

I suppose you can’t do the increased ground clutter, but I keep telling myself I don’t need a new computer and I don’t need it.

I have a WoW account but its not subscribed. I am not paying for a subscription.

I’m the deeloper of this here site so I think that’s why I got an invite - for being a classic ‘influencer’ or whatever you call massive nerds these days :smile:

Hey Teebs, grats on beta! One thing I would like you to take a look at is whether LookingForGroup is a global channel, global but restricted to main cities, or local to main cities.

Cheers!

A couple things for me:
Are there unarmored albino raptors that can be attained from the troll mount vendor? This will change my method for leveling significantly.
Have you attempted any wall-hopping or other exploitable terrain mechanics? Do they work like on vanilla or have they been corrected?
Thanks!
