New Beta Build Patch Notes: Level 80 Templates, Raids & Arenas

It’s been a while since Blizzard updated the WotLK Classic beta — 3 weeks, in fact. Some players were starting to grow impatient with the wait for an update, as the lack of level 80 templates discouraged a lot of players who are interested in trying out the new content but do not feel up to the task of going through the entire level 70 to level 80 questing experience.

Thankfully, Kaivax has put an end to our wait! Blizzard just released an update to the beta, with a whole host of patch notes to go with it.

The immediate eye-grabbers of course are raid testing & arenas being enabled, and of course, level 80 templates. Anyone who wants to try out the new goodies without doing the leveling grind, rejoice!

There’s a whole bunch of other smaller changes, such as fixes to the Death Knight Rune system. However, with raids coming out, players will likely be slightly too busy testing stuff out!


What are your thoughts on these notes? Will you be trying the beta now that level 80 template characters are available? Let us know in the comments below!
