UNKNOWNS BOARD
What nobody has shown yet.
Blizzard is hiding item stats until they drop and publishing no dungeon journal at first, so much of WoW Forever will be learned by playing it. These are the open questions, what has been said so far, and where sources disagree. For acknowledged bugs, see the official known issues summary ↗

It names no other bosses and lists no loot. Method quotes Josh Greenfield saying players won't know the raid bosses until they first go in.

Will Forever go to Northrend or Pandaria?
Not announcedExecutive producer Holly Longdale told the creator JackedIQ at PAX Australia that nothing is off the table, but she expects Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor to keep evolving, with the focus on story rather than more places (Icy Veins report, October 11). Blizzard told TechRadar (October 11) it may one day visit places from later expansions, but as Forever's own versions. Nothing is announced.

Will racial abilities change before launch?
Not announcedJosh Greenfield said on the official podcast (episode 3) the team is weighing whether Orc and Troll active racials are a little too strong, and whether weapon-skill racials should stay or be replaced. Wowhead expects changes in the next beta update.

Do heals really do less on party members above your level?
Not announcedEU players report it since early beta: a level 21 Priest's heals landed smaller on a level 22 tank in a thread still active October 12. Blizzard hasn't listed it as a known issue or said whether it's intended.

Is one of the new dungeons a Blackrock Depths–sized mega dungeon?

Can Skyborne on opposite factions understand each other?

Can one-handed weapons still sheathe on your back with transmog?
Not announcedSince October 8, players in four forum threads say the transmogrifier no longer lets one-handed weapons sheathe on the back. Some guess it was pulled because players with Transmog turned off still saw it; that's unproven. Blizzard hasn't said whether it's a bug or intended, and the October 8 development notes don't mention it.

Not announcedNot announced. Clay Stone told the creator Fiamma at PAX Australia that the number isn't ready to share and that technical limits rule out an unlimited count (Icy Veins report, October 12).

Can addons read combat data in Forever?
One reportOne addon author says Forever follows modern WoW's addon rules: addons can't read the combat log during play, and values such as health, power and auras can be hidden in combat (WombatLog's CurseForge page, updated October 12). Blizzard hasn't published Forever's addon rules. Writing a combat log file for upload is a separate question.

Will Blizzard publish notes for the class changes players are discussing since October 30?
Not announcedForum players are debating class and talent changes dated October 30. One credits a change-tracking website and EU thread titles call them data mining. Blizzard has posted no notes for them as of October 31. Kingy doesn't use datamined data, so its class pages leave them out until Blizzard or the live game shows them.
