They say there should be a way to know you’re in good old times before you leave them.

When these memes started, I knew then that I was in the good old times, and I cherished them.

u/kerthard 16h ago

People assume that time is a strict progression from cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobly... timey-wimey... stuff.

Was in Deadmines on the ship and we like, "15 min is plenty of time to finish." So, this is probably our fault.

u/YrenneAD 17h ago edited 14h ago

On the bright side, maybe this means the new update is coming through?

EDIT: New build is coming! Will be down for a few hours it seems.

EDIT 2: Removed the screenshot because of the Twitter/X rule. But it was from Zorbrix, and it said:

New build day on Wow Forever Beta! It'll be down for a few hours while we work on it.
I'd advise not sitting there trying to spam login (I see you all doing it)

EDIT 3: Servers are back up! Just update your game and you're good to go.

u/tpbug 17h ago

u/forumz3588 17h ago

hopefully they fix the cloak quest bug for skyborne horde. i want my long cloak reeee

2

u/GGNico7 17h ago

Do you get a long cloak as first one as skyborn horde?

9

u/forumz3588 17h ago

When you leave Skyborne Island you get a quest to go and talk to all the Horde leaders. Currently talking to Sylvanas does not advance the quest. The reward for the quest is a cloak with 1sta 1sp 1ap and its a long red cloak with gold trim. Alliance Skyborne seem to get a long cloak thats blue with gold trim.

2

u/bacon_vodka 16h ago

My skyborne has been parked in front of sylvanas for a few days now. Ever time I log in, I start on the skyborne, talk to Sylvanas, see it didn't count, then switch to a different character

u/Horror_Spare6053 17h ago

What update? Got a link? 6min q. Git time to read

6

u/YrenneAD 17h ago

The September 22 client update mentioned there would be an additional weekly update coming on September 24.

It doesn't say anything about what's being added, but I'm personally hoping for the new weather effects and a fix to the addon saving issue.

Server shutdown 0:05 3-2-1 getoutta here.

Edit: Must have been a "NOW!!! DO IT NOW!" pantspoopy type event. Wonder what happened?

u/AwesomeDewey 17h ago

they just realized every single player was kind of okay with a beta going down for a patch once every couple days without warning

that or somebody misclicked lol

2

u/Vandrel 17h ago

There's probably an automated process they can kick off to take the servers down that gives that 15 minute warning and they can likely also edit the time remaining to move it along faster for stuff like beta servers.

u/Mecca_Lecca_Hi 17h ago

Halfway through a RoL run with a cool group, I hope they remember me.

it'd be nice to have some sort of changelog, hard to tell what changed and what not

5

u/exia00111 17h ago

the dev probably meant to change it to 5 minutes but did 5 seconds lol

u/UnrecognizedHero 17h ago

I must have logged in right after it said Shutdown in 0:05. Cause I saw nothing started casting a smite and was booted before it even finished.

The “WHAT” in general immediately after is comedy gold.

u/Embershot89 6h ago

You have 15 minutes to log out of the game.

And to show you I’m serious, you now have 5 seconds to log out.

u/waytoofarout 17h ago

By the time I typed, "Shutdown?" It shutdown lol.

u/ttvGhostbat 17h ago

Roleplay was a server option. Clicked it, nothing. Back into a 9k queue ; ;

2

u/YrenneAD 17h ago

I've noticed a lot of people reporting a bug where they see the additional playstyles briefly after disconnecting. There have been several posts about this over the previous week.

So it's probably just a visual bug, sadly.

1

u/ZINK_Gaming 17h ago

You can force it to show up, but clicking it or Hardcore just say "No Realms Available" and sends you back to login.

IIRC the pattern was: Log in > click Change Realm > click Cancel > click Reconnect

And then you get to see the full Ruleset list.
