## Key points

- Final pre-launch patch strengthens classes.
- Full controller support arrives.
- Faster starting-zone respawns will ease launch crowds.

## Summary

Blizzard has issued a final pre-launch patch for World of Warcraft: Forever, due to launch in about a day and a half. The update strengthens classes rather than applying across-the-board nerfs, reflecting the developers’ aim to make each class distinctive and valuable to groups instead of keeping them within Classic-era power limits.

The patch adds full controller support, with customisable controls and fixes for gamepad interactions with action bars, add-ons, inventory, combat and navigation. It also adjusts racial abilities, increases respawn rates in starting zones to handle launch crowds, requires bags to be equipped manually, and removes a debuff triggered by dropping the flag in Darkspear Islands.
