Beta Realm Maintenance - 10/7/14

Greetings All!

The Beta realms will be shutting down for maintenance in a few minutes in order to deploy a new build. I'll be updating this thread with information and time estimates as I receive them. I don't have an exact ETA yet, but these pushes usually take around 8 hours, give or take a few.

I'll be leaving this thread open for general discussion as long as people remain civil and follow forum rules.

No character wipe is planned today.

Still working on pushing the new build out! Thanks for being patient.

Here are the patch nots

-Warriors now do 20% increased damage
-Shadow priests now deal 20% less damage
-Hunters no longer deal damage, and instead heal the target

Rogues are scissors.
Warriors are rock.
Hunters, Paladins, Priests, Druids, Mages, and Shamans are Paper.
Warlocks are mushrooms.

Am I doing it right?

It troubles me that no one seemed to get this reference :(

Best video series WoW ever (indirectly) produced imo

Nobody completed the quote! I'm very sad.

Happy now?

Yes!

On a related note, the new build (18996) should start showing up on your Battle.net app shortly, with realms to follow (rough guess is 15-45 min).

Realms are coming up now!

I believe a new background is/was pushed for the live retail client, can you make sure you're not in the process of downloading that (which could put your download of the beta build on pause?)

Thanks for the info.
