Dieses Update soll diese Version von WoW auf den anstehenden Start der vierten Phase dieser Saison vorbereiten und alle daf\u00fcr ben\u00f6tigen Inhalte in das Spiel einbauen. Gleichzeitig damit ver\u00f6ffentlichten die Entwickler nat\u00fcrlich auch wieder offizielle Patchnotes zu den Auswirkungen dieses Pre-Patches.<\/p>\n
Diese Patchnotes listen eine Reihe von relevanten Informationen zu der vierten Phase der Saison der Entdeckung auf. Besonders wichtig d\u00fcrften die genauen Startzeiten f\u00fcr die einzelnen Elemente dieser neuen Phase sein. Phase 4 wird am morgigen Donnerstag, den 11. Juli 2024 gegen 22:00 Uhr offiziell beginnen. Eine Woche sp\u00e4ter werden dann die zwei klassischen Stufe 60 Weltbosse freigeschaltet und eine weitere Woche darauf erhalten die Spieler dann Zugang zu MC und Ony.<\/p>\n
Weitere interessante Angaben sind die Einf\u00fchrung von neuen Runen, einen versteckten neuen Dungeon f\u00fcr Stufe 60, \u00fcberarbeitete Ruffraktionen und ein neues Welt-Event rund um den Schwarzfels. Da sich bei der SoD alles um das Entdecken der Spielwelt dreht, beinhalten die Patchnotes nat\u00fcrlich keine genauen Details zu vielen der versteckten Neuerungen.<\/p>\n
