- Expansion: World of Warcraft
The pre-expansion patch for The War Within has just released, and Blizzard has immediately posted a lengthy list of known issues along with a couple of shorter posts about more serious issues.
The main Known Issues list can be viewed in its entirety below, and includes problems with class abilities and various user interface elements.
Along with this longer list, Community Manager Kaivax also posted that the new Warband Banks are temporarily disabled following a long maintenance that was extended multiple times, possibly in an effort to resolve this issue before opening up realms to players. Kaivax also made a separate post highlighting some issues with action bars where they are either not displaying or not saving properly. These two problems seem to be the top priority for Blizzard at the moment.
The War Within Pre-expansion patch (11.0.0) is now live. Please read on for a list of known issues that we’re working on and further information about this update.
