Patch 0.9.5 is a pre-release patch for Warcraft Rumble.

Beta Update 0.9.5 is here with more Talents, more Zones, and, most importantly, MORE CHAOS! There's a little something for everyone in our latest beta update.

Player versus Player

We recognized that new players could get matched against veteran players, especially in the early ladder. Until players reach Silver, all their armies will be capped at level 1, and their Honor level calibrates for their introductory games.

  • PvP now unlocks at 8 Skulls, from 12.
  • PvP Tiers now have more rewards!
    • There are now 3 rewards per rank instead of 1.
  • The Honor track has been improved.
    • Rewards can now be claimed right on the track.
    • Players will now see a badge when unclaimed rewards are waiting.
  • Seasons are now 6 weeks long instead of 3 weeks long.

Campaign

A faster Campaign journey means players get into the CHAOS sooner! We've made some changes, such as streamlining early missions, unlocking many features earlier in the player's jouney, and more!

  • The Progress Tracker now advances for any Map victory.
  • Zones now advance one level per zone instead of two.
  • New Zones!
    • Hinterlands and Darkshore have been added!
  • We looked at XP and did a tuning pass to make Quests more lucrative by lowering the Quest cap and adjusting XP tables.

Features and Systems

  • Quest rewards have been changed to Daily Rewards.
    • We're changing the current Quest reward track to “Daily Rewards”, which functions similarly, but provides players credit for completing Campaign Missions, Conquests, PvP matches, Arclight Surge, and Quests.
  • Arclight Surge dual Families have been significantly redesigned to be a synergistic army featuring two Leaders from different Families.
  • Improvements have been made to the Free Gift:
    • Free Gift XP is available every 4 hours, if you do not claim it will accrue in the background at full value up to 24 hours, after which it will continue to accrue, but more slowly.
    • Free Gifts can proc a higher rarity with Coin and Big Red Button bonus rewards.
  • Big Red Button is a new feature that allows players to refresh the G.R.I.D.

User Interface and Accessibility

  • Minis can now be filtered in your Inventory by Trait.

UI Improvements

We've improved the visuals of both the quest leader selection and the post-quest experience claim screens by replacing the background, improving the pedestal for Minis, and streamlining the header bars. The experience rewards should also display more consistently.

New Language Selections in the Works

Our top engineers are hard at work bringing additional language selection to the game. Players will be able to switch easily between several languages with Turkish being added sometime in the future. As always, it's important to note that this is still a work in progress as we continue to test this new functionality during the beta.
