What Blizzard has already answered

Dungeon experience is the one topic where the notes respond. On 1 October dungeon quests gave 50% less bonus experience; on 8 October experience from killing creatures in dungeons rose by about 20%, and a fix restored the Classic Era rule for party experience from lower level enemies, based on each player’s own level instead of the highest in the group. Blizzard expects the two October 8 changes to raise dungeon experience a lot for most players, and a party member far above the enemy level still means no experience for anyone (beta development notes (opens in a new tab)). Whether that satisfies the players above is for the beta to show.

Blizzard also adjusted Rage gained from damage taken on 8 October, which helps Warriors and Druids in bear form, and posted a Known Issues list. See our patch notes and known issues.

Have your say

Feedback goes in the official beta forum, where Blizzard staff read it. The beta runs until late October and launch is on 4 November, see beta and launch dates.
