Open Beta Update – Upcoming Changes
Hi all,

First of all we would like to thank everyone participating in the Open Beta. The development team has been able to gather valuable in-game data over the past few days. Based on this data and your feedback on the forums, we will be making a few changes in the next patch:

- Players will only receive a 25% durability loss instead of 100% when using a Spirit Healer to resurrect.

- Players will now only incur a maximum 10 minutes of resurrection sickness instead of 30 minutes when using a Spirit Healer to resurrect.

- Some key buff spells will have their reagent requirements removed.

- Changes to Warrior’s Defensive Stance that will improve their ability to hold aggro.

- Rare (blue) item's repair costs will be reduced significantly.

- A button will be added to the UI to help characters that get stuck in the game world. If you use the button when your character is alive it will attempt to hearthstone your character. If that doesn't work it will nudge your character a small distance until you are free. If your character is a ghost, pressing the button will teleport you back to the Spirit Healer. In both cases your position on the map will be recorded so we can fix that spot in the future. You'll only be allowed to use this button every five minutes.

We are hoping to get the next patch out early next week.
