Check out the full list of changes.
WoW Forever
World of Warcraft: Forever has a whole new section of the site at /realms/forever/, with an armory, a game database, a talent calculator, insights, and more. North America support is in first as we test things out.
The armory keeps every character and guild we find for good and checks them again over time, so pages can show how a character grew. Search for a character or guild from any armory page.
Character pages show gear, stats, talents, professions, and reputations, plus charts over time for level, item level, gear score, quests, kills, deaths, profession skill, and achievements.
Check out my Paladin, Loot Ninja!
Guild pages show a summary of the guild, charts, and its roster. Guild rankings and leaderboards rank characters by level, gear score, item level, quests, kills, honor, achievements, and deaths.
Characters show up once they reach level 10 and log out. If yours isn't there yet, search for it by first name and surname and look it up on Battle.net.
Anyone can add a guild. Search for its name, and if we aren't tracking it yet, look it up on Battle.net. Its members get added over the next few minutes.
WoW Forever: Your Characters
Every character is public by default. Open My Forever characters from your avatar menu and connect Battle.net to claim the characters on your account.
You can hide any of your characters. A hidden character's page only shows its name, and it is left out of search, leaderboards, and feeds. Guilds still count it, but never name it.
You can unhide a character at any time, and its full history comes back.
Queue priority for character data is as follows:
PRO accounts with a connected battlenet account
Users with a connected battlenet account
Characters who do not have a connected battlenet account on Out of Games
We check more frequently for characters who have PRO and User accounts as well to keep them more up to date.
WoW Forever: Game Database
Every WoW Forever item has its own page with a WoW-style tooltip, along with how many tracked characters wear it. Browse items by slot, type, quality, class, and level, and browse every item set.
Gear on character pages links to our item pages, with tooltips when you hover.
Quest pages show rewards, experience, money, requirements, the quest text, and what the quest leads to. Each zone has its own list of quests.
Creature pages cover tameable beasts and companion pets, with pages for each beast family.
WoW Forever: Talents
The talent calculator works for every class, using the real Forever talent trees. Every build has its own link you can copy and share.
Character pages have an Open in calculator button that loads that character's build.
Each class has a talent meta page showing the most popular builds, the split between specs, and how often each talent is picked.
WoW Forever: Insights
Insights pages track the whole game: who is playing and when, the race to level 60, guild moves, the rarest achievements, the most popular names, and stat leaderboards.
The Name lab has an "Is my name taken?" checker.
Character pages show Road to 60, with a projected date for reaching level 60, and a history of every guild the character has been in. Guild pages show who joined and who left.
Game Reviews
Game Review articles now open with a fancy magazine-style cover.
Game pages now feature our staff review with its score on every tab, and staff ratings link to the full review.
Editing a game review now updates its overall score correctly, and scores that were wrong because of this have been fixed.
Arcade
Arcade games now get a bigger stage by default, so you can play without going full screen.
Performance
Pages load faster, especially for visitors who aren't signed in.
Pages no longer jump sideways while they load.
Fixes
Edits to articles and guides show up right away again. Since October 31 they could take up to an hour to appear.
Hearthstone adventure chapters that share a name with another adventure's chapter, like The Prologue, open again.
We now can get Humble Bundle deals again since their major site changes.
