Mit dem Wechsel von einer geschlossenen Alpha zu einer geschlossenen Beta haben die Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment gestern Abend noch einmal einige Anpassungen an ihren offiziellen Development Update Notes zu der fortlaufenden Testphase von Shadowlands durchgeführt und diese Übersicht dadurch dann auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. Diese vorläufigen Patchnotes zu dem nächsten Addon listen jetzt alle von eingeladenen Spielern testbaren Inhalte, anhaltende Probleme mit dieser Testphase und die Pläne der Entwickler für die nahe Zukunft der geschlossenen Beta auf. Durch diese Development Update Notes erfahren daran interessierte Spieler unter anderem, dass das Team mit den nächsten Build für die geschlossene Beta weitere Optionen für die Charaktererstellung, die Möglichkeit zum Durchführen von Haustierkämpfen und den brandneuen Schlachtzug Schloss Nathria in diese Testphase einbauen möchte. Wer jetzt gerne mehr über die Beta von Shadowlands und die testbaren Inhalte erfahren möchte, der kann folgend selbst einen Blick auf die aktualisierten Development Update Notes werfen.

Work in Progress

We’re currently working through the following issues and limitations:

• In the previous version of the Shadowlands test, we had a character template called “Venthyr Endgame” that allowed testers to create a level 60 character after choosing a Covenant. That template is no longer available, and has been replaced by a new one. Please do not do further testing with a character templated by Venthyr Endgame. If that was your only test character, please make a new character in this build. We intend to do a complete wipe of all test characters in a forthcoming build.
• Testing with Dark Iron Dwarf characters is currently disabled.
• The new starting experience can only be tested by level 1 Alliance characters.

Coming Soon

We’re unlocking much more content for testing over the next few weeks:

• Pet Battle content
• The Castle Nathria raid
• More Character Creation/Customization Updates

Please note that the above is not a comprehensive list of features to be tested in the entirety of the Shadowlands Beta.

Thank you very much!
