When you purchase #WoWForever upgrade products, you will be granted codes that can be used to invite up to 3 friends to play for free during the launch week (from November 4 through November 11, 2026). See the article for all the information: blizz.ly/4i4VIV8
We've been quiet for a bit. Grok Build has been heads down on a lot of exciting behind the scenes work, more soon!
Since 4.7 launched, the biggest feedback has been quick usage limit burn, overthinking, and some early compactions. I wanted to walk through what we've been changing and some honest explanations:
On usage, the team cut the system prompt by about a third and rewrote many of the tool descriptions, so every request carries a lot less token overhead.
On overthinking, we're working deeper down the stack, but the most effective fix is lowering effort with `/effort medium` or `/effort low`. On CursorBench, medium scores 41.6% vs 43.9% on high, at $3.49 vs $4.69 per task!
For compactions happening earlier than expected, we lowered default context window to 256k. Most sessions don't compact, and in testing, it cut cost per user by about a fourth with minimal impact on perf. Still, our bad on not making the UX more seamless here.
If your sessions run long, you can switch back with `/context-window 500k`! But do note that requests over 200k cost more.
If something still feels off, reply with what you were working on and we (and @bot) will take a look 🙂
I don’t know what phone carriers are doing to combat this but it’s not enough. Does anyone else get 10+ voicemails a day and endless spam text messages?

For 99/100 of players, no, a 3% haste will not have a quantifiable difference, at all. Rather, u should play WoW to have fun and slay monsters with your friends and get cool gear and wield a sick ass weapon and explore a beautiful fantasy world where you can be anything you want

As a person who has never played WoW: Does it matter? Isn't it more about like...everything else? Like literally everything else? Genuine question.

The games we've long wanted, which didn't exist because they'd cost several times more to make than they'd earn back, will soon become possible. As will the games developers wanted to build, but couldn't with the resources available. It'll be a new golden age of gaming.

You discover a WoW Forever addon that makes the world map feel like an actual part of Azeroth.
Not every open source release comes with a banger music video

I miss when a $20 bill felt like you could leave the house and do something.

Shoutout again to our incredible social media and sound teams!
With weather in Wow Forever we wanted to do more than just simple rain. The sound team hooked us up with some pre-rain ambient sound (and much more). Before the rain starts to fall you can see the fog and clouds roll in and hear the rumble of distant thunder as the storm approaches.
From there, the rain has several stages of intensity and has a chance of culminating in a full on thunderstorm, lightning and all.

The glowing light inside every inn just became 10x more inviting ⛈️
Pre-storm weather and lightning strikes are live in the WoW: Forever Beta!
I've recently had to switch from using @bot's windows app exclusively to the web interface because of the rendering issues that recently surfaced. Switching bots causes the chat window to not render, the only fix is to slightly resize the window and force it to redraw. Please fix this.
Such an inspiring moment. The product of human innovation. youtube.com/shorts/WDRKIJOwG…
