Ask A WoD Beta Tester

Amg, this is the first time I've been in the first wave of invites. Leave your twink questions here and I will do my best to answer them! I plan on looking at things like whether or not there are level limits on the toybox features, how the removed stats are going to change on gear, what gear is being removed, how the new instance changes will affect twinks, whether or not low lvls can get to the new zones and what they can accomplish while there (reps etc) and whatever else I can think of. I work 40 hrs a week, so I'll only be testing in the evenings, but ima try and find some good stuff. :D

***Highlights***

-BFD quests are removed! Old drops still drop, but some are from new bosses. Stats have changed a tiny bit due to squish.
-AGM has 1 less stam and absorbs 903 dmg
-GF'd transmogged BoAs and enchanted helms are untouched
-no shared tabards
-account wide BoAs have not been implemented

Thanks for making is thread! I have a few questions
Is the level 85 cata gear better than the level 85 MOP blue gear?
What items are being removed so far?
 
So far the beta servers have just kept crashing lolol, all I've been able to do is copy over my main and learn all the vanity items for the toy box (detailed post on that coming soon). I'll be playing all night though, may have some word on some things in a bit.

Edit - damn this is an old ass sig. :(
 
Having a hard time logging in to any of my toons in major cities. So far I know that:

-helms kept any enchants you had on them

-old exploit transmogged BoAs are still transmogged

-used Darkspear Pride and Mini Mana Bomb on an ally toon!

-AGM NOOOOOOOOOOO! I don't know if it scales with level or something (yet) but my lvl 10 warr's AGMs are 11 stam and absorb 903 damage. Still lasts 20 secs and still share a cd.

-stat squish seems weird on a toon this low. The actual stats on my gear are the same (except for removed stats) but the armor is waaaaay low. Like, Silver Scaled Belt going from 71 armor to 7 armor.

-removed stats SEEM to work like this: if an item has hit or expertise on it, it will turn into the same amount of crit or haste. You don't seem to get double of anything, so for instance something that has crit and hit on live will have crit and haste on beta, but there seems to be a preference for turning into crit when it's hit that's changing and a preference for haste when it's expertise that's changing. Further exploration could disprove that, the night is young.

what about professions?

are level 20s ( or level 19s?, im alot more concerned about 20s) able to train up to 300 professions?

Are all the classic recipes learnable by a level 24? Are they usable or still have a level requirement?

Engineering/Alchemy is what i mean

How do enchants scale? Is Crusader still 100 str and 15 agility still giving 15? What about Dancing Steel or Jade spirit , are they still giving 68 intl/agil?

I am also very interested in the profession bit.
 
Haven't been able to copy over any 19/20/24/29s to check on these prof questions, but i'll keep trying or just level something. Ran BFD today and all the quests + quest rewards have been removed unless they add the rewards back in as boss drops for the new bosses that don't have a loot table yet. Grab that stuff while you still can just in case, though.

All the same loot drops, but stats have been altered a bit with the stat squish. You can check them out on the wowhead for the beta. (Wowhead doesn't have the new bosses listed yet, and has old ones that were removed still listed, but has accurate stat information for existing drops)

Hmm....just healed for a whole mana bar on a 29 holy pally and jade spirit didn't proc a single time...

I also made sure i could loot the Gurubashi chest, just for good measure.
 
could you verify the armor gain from potions?
 
When frost mages get ice lance? dose it exchange fire blast at lvl 22 or earlier?
Same question for shamys frost shock. when they get it?

Petrolspill Leggings no longer decrease fire resist, new stats are 9 armor, 11 agi, 8 stam

I don't have a gatherer copied, but my alc has the stoneshield potion recipes and neither one is a different armor amount. Obviously that might scale, but I need to get some mats together to test it. Was there a different armor potion you meant?
