Before you report a bug
Read the current known issues and the latest development notes: much of what looks broken is already listed, or already fixed. Restarts and fixes are announced in Blizzard’s posts, which our blue posts follow.
A useful report gives the shortest set of steps that makes the problem happen again, where it happened, and what you expected instead. Keep what you saw apart from your guess at the cause.
Worth testing
- Dungeons: class changes show first in a group.
- Camping: sit at a campfire with friends and try the buffs and the objects each profession adds.
- The Cooldown Manager: for Druids, Mages, Priests, Warriors and Warlocks so far. Turn it on under Options, Gameplay Enhancement; Blizzard most wants to hear which spells you’d like it to track from the start.
- Gamepad play: the new class flyouts and targeting options.
