Die f\u00fcr WoW Classic zust\u00e4ndigen Entwickler von Blizzard Entertainment teilten gestern Abend ein umfangreiches Status-Update zu der Saison der Entdeckung mit der Community. In diesem Bluepost ging das Team unter anderem auf die verbliebene Laufzeit von Phase 3, den Start der anstehenden Phase 4 und den Pl\u00e4nen f\u00fcr Raids auf Stufe 60 ein. Das Ganze wurde wohl verfasst, weil das Classic-Team derzeit viel mit Cata Classic zu tun hat und die Spieler der Saison der Entdeckung in den n\u00e4chsten Wochen etwas hinten anstehen m\u00fcssen.<\/p>\n
Die folgenden interessanten Details wurden in dem Status-Update angesprochen:<\/p>\n
Vermutlich werden sich nur die wenigsten Spieler aktiv daran st\u00f6ren, dass Phase 4 etwas l\u00e4nger dauert. Schlie\u00dflich gibt es mit MoP<\/span> Remix, Retail Saison 4 und Cata<\/span> Classic in dieser Zeit genug andere WoW-Versionen, die man zumindest ausprobieren kann. Ansonsten freue ich mich sehr darauf zu sehen, wie die Entwickler die Klassen in SoD<\/span> anpassen und was f\u00fcr Pl\u00e4ne sie f\u00fcr Phase 4 haben. Einen PTR halte ich f\u00fcr eine hervorragende Idee, um die \u00fcblichen Balanceprobleme zu l\u00f6sen.<\/p>\n \u00a0Greetings,<\/span><\/p>\n The team has been hard at work on Season of Discovery and Cataclysm Classic. There\u2019s a lot happening in Classic right now, and while we\u2019ve been working incredibly hard, we\u2019ve also been fairly quiet, so we felt it would be a good time to provide an update on a few things, including Season of Discovery Phase 4.<\/span><\/p>\n Phase 4 Release Update<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Cutting straight to it, and as you have no doubt likely noticed, the World of Warcraft team has been delivering a lot of exciting content lately, and this will (of course) continue well through the next few months and beyond. As such, to land Phase 4 at just the right time, our current phase (Phase 3) is going to last longer than previous Season of Discovery content phases. We can\u2019t share Phase 4\u2019s release date just yet, and we know this news and the longer Phase 3 may be disappointing to some, but our timeline will ensure that our Classic team delivers an experience worthy of our players at the high-quality bar we are setting for ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019re so very excited to share what\u2019s next with you.<\/span><\/p>\n We also want to make sure that we take the time we need to deliver equally awesome experiences in both Season of Discovery and Cataclysm Classic, and give Cataclysm Classic\u2019s launch the time it deserves to breathe, without players feeling the pressure of needing to choose between it and all of the other fun things that are happening in WoW right now. We understand our players love to plan, so we wanted to signal our intentions now and let you know that we intend to share the exact timing of Phase 4\u2019s launch, and start discussing what it will include, as early as it is possible to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n Please stay tuned for more information on Phase 4 coming soon.<\/span><\/p>\n Phase 4 PTR Plans<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n In a departure from previous phases, we will spin up a limited PTR specifically focused on combat and class testing for Phase 4. We plan to include level 60 templates with all runes and abilities learned, and we tentatively plan to provide some sort of access to level 60 tier set bonuses. We also plan to provide access to training dummies and some raid content, as well as battlegrounds, so that players can test out their new builds. Again, our intent with this PTR is to focus on combat and class testing, and we will not be using it to test the unique content coming with Phase 4. We\u2019ve received an enormous amount of class feedback from players, and we\u2019re very excited for the level 60 runes to be discovered as well as our revamped tier sets.<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019re investing heavily into class adjustments going into Phase 4, and while perfect balance is not the goal, we do want to look at classes, specs, and runes that are underperforming and find opportunities to make as many improvements as we can. Many classes will see substantial redesigns going into the level 60 endgame, with some runes moving around and others becoming baseline skills. We\u2019re excited for players to jump in to play around with these substantial adjustments and participate in the feedback loop with us ahead of Phase 4 hitting live realms.<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ll share more information on our testing schedule very soon.<\/span><\/p>\n Level 60 Content Phases<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n One common question we\u2019ve been asked is \u201chow will the various raid tiers roll out at level 60?\u201d, and we want to provide some clarity and let everyone know that we will be rolling raids out in phases similar to how we did in 2019\u2019s Classic. The first tier will consist of Molten Core and Onyxia, and a few weeks after that we will see Blackwing Lair, followed by Zul\u2019Gurub, with additional endgame content and surprises that we\u2019re planning to add between the major raid tier releases as well. For ease of communication, we intend to frame our releases around the familiar original WoW raid tiers.<\/span><\/p>\n Sunken Temple Adjustments Incoming<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n One consistent piece of feedback we\u2019ve received is that the rewards from Sunken Temple have been a bit underwhelming. During our design and testing of Phase 3, we didn\u2019t entirely know the scale and scope of adjustments we\u2019d make to Level 60 dungeon gear, Tier 1 item sets, and Molten Core and Onyxia gear. Now that we have a good idea about those, we think it makes sense to increase the power level of some of the Sunken Temple gear. These updates will particularly focus on caster gear, which feels the most underpowered.<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ll let you know when we\u2019ve got this ready to implement in the live game.<\/span><\/p>\n We want to again express a heartfelt thanks to our passionate players. We\u2019ve had a blast playing with you in Season of Discovery and now in the Cataclysm Classic pre-patch, and we can\u2019t wait to get more exciting Classic content into your hands very soon!<\/span><\/p>\n
