Forums -> End of Alpha Testing

POST:
The Wrath of the Lich King alpha test has now come to a close. We’d like to thank all of you for your participation and invaluable feedback on the game. The World of Warcraft team is hard at work preparing for the next phase of testing, and each of you will be invited back to participate. We're also happy to inform you that we will not be wiping characters as we transition from alpha to beta. However, all current alpha characters will be locked for a short period of time, allowing new players entering the beta sufficient time to catch up.

We look forward to seeing you all again in the Wrath of the Lich King beta test.

Forums -> Concerning Dalaran

POST:
Since a few of you are probably wondering... Work on Dalaran is going really well right now, and we currently estimate we'll be opening it up for testing in around mid-July.

Forums -> Concering PoH

POST:
It is possible we may also review Prayer of Healing, and we may be making this raid-wide also(maximum of five targets, lowest deficit within range). Actually it is one of the many party-only abilities that we are considering changing to be raid wide; other candidates are totems and warrior shouts. It would definitely make PoH better, while remaining different from CoH, since PoH requires the priest to be near their healing targets.

Forums -> Concerning Paladin Delays
From WoWPaladin.org:

POST:
Quite honestly one of the reasons we saved paladins for last is because there is a lot we wanted to change with them. Paladins are changing probably more than any other class. The tiny little bit you heard at the WWI is just the beginning.

The discussion about a new healing spell was just to say yes, we think paladins need another healing mechanic. It isn’t finished yet. We don’t want to just hand them a thinly disguised druid or priest spell. We also want paladins to tank more actively and want retribution paladins to have a little better control over their damage without the bursts feeling quite so random. (And no, that’s not all we’re looking at).

It’s all coming. It’s just a lot of work. Try to stay positive. Everyone in the alpha was invited because they have a close connection to someone at Blizzard. You’re here because we value your feedback.

POST:
That’s a fair question. We knew we were going to make 3 pretty sweeping changes to classes in general that would all affect paladins. First we changed the way healing and damage stats work. Second, we changed the way party vs raid buffs worked. Third, we changed how much damage a tank is expected to deliver as well as reworking some of our itemization theories in general.

We figured it was easier to tackle those issues on comparatively easy classes like the warrior and priest before figuring out how we were going to have to change the paladin. Hunters got pushed to the back for a similar reason — we were overhauling how their pets worked and needed to nail those changes first before figuring out their new abilities and talents.

We still feel like we’re ahead of where we were on Burning Crusade with a more experienced team. So we’re not yet panicked about having enough testing time.
