Nuova patch su Retail, su Classic e sulla beta di Burning Crusade!
Patch Burning Crusade – Questo Martedì è un giorno carico di update e di aggiornamenti per tutti i titoli legati al mondo di Azeroth e di World of Warcraft.
A partire da alcuni hotfix per la versione retail, fino ad arrivare a delle modifiche per Classic, andiamo quindi a scoprire quali sono stati tutti gli interventi scelti dai devs per questa settimana, iniziando proprio dalle modifiche che hanno colpito la versione di Shadowlands.
Per la versione retail la maggior parte delle modifiche riguarda il dungeon Sanguine Depths, che con il restart dei server subirà diversi interventi di bilanciamento ad alcuni dei personaggi che lo popolano.
Ecco quanto comunicato da Blizzard sul forum ufficiale:
Dungeons and Raids
- Sanguine Depths
- [With regional restarts] Dark Acolyte’s Dark Bolt cast time increased to 2 seconds (was 1.5 seconds).
- [With regional restarts] Chamber Sentinel’s Craggy Fracture damage reduced by 20%, is cast less frequently, and now targets fewer players.
- [With regional restarts] Za’rali’s Shining Radiance now removes all bleed effects, including Severing Slice and Grievous (Affix). The tooltip will be updated in a future patch to reflect this change.
- [With regional restarts] Fixed an issue where Sinfall Boon ’s buff increased from killing non-combat creatures.
- Grand Proctor Beryllia
- Fixed an issue that caused Endless Torment to be cast multiple times in a row.
- General Kaal
- [With regional restarts] Reduced the periodic damage of Wicked Gash by 33%.
- Spires of Ascension
- Devos
- Fixed an issue where throwing a spear at Devos would fail to register a hit when it looked like it should.
- Devos
Come dicevamo all’inizio dell’articolo, vi sono poi delle modifiche che riguardano da vicino anche la versione “Classic” di WoW, sia per quanto riguarda il Classic attualmente disponibile sul live, sia per la beta che sta in questo momento vedendo protagonista l’espansione Burning Crusade.
Iniziando proprio dall’ultima citata, nella beta abbiamo visto l’abilitazione delle Arena Skirmishes e dei Battlegrounds, che sono quindi finalmente disponibili per tutti i test del caso.
Sulla versione live abbiamo invece assistito al rilascio della patch 1.13.7, contenuto che introduce diversi aggiustamenti al gameplay (su tutti un aggiornamento al sistema di priorità dei buff) e poi anche delle modifiche per Naxxramas e per alcuni oggetti.
Ecco le note ufficiali:
Beta WoW Classic – Patch Burning Crusade
We’ve enabled Battlegrounds and Arena Skirmishes on the Badge of Justice realm, allowing those activities to be tested at level 70 with template characters. Speak to Donjon in Shattrath to be sent to Orgrimmar or Stormwind, where you’ll find “King” Dond offering gear suitable for PvP.
WoW Classic – Server Live
Chronoboon Displacer
- Players who complete Chromie’s quests in Andorhal can obtain an ancient artifact of Bronze Dragonflight magic.
- Use the Chronoboon Displacer to store any world buffs such as Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer, Warchief’s Blessing, and Spirit of Zandalar for later use.
- Click the Supercharged Chronoboon Displacer to restore your buffs with their previous remaining durations intact.
- You may not benefit from additional world buffs until you have restored any that you currently have stored in the Supercharged Chronoboon Displacer.
Gameplay Adjustments
- Beneficial buff priority system
- Beneficial buffs are now prioritized, similarly to how debuffs have been prioritized.
- This should help prevent situations where limited-duration or low impact buffs such as Renew, Rejuvenation, or 6-piece set bonuses would “push off” important buffs such as Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer or Flask of the Titans when used on a player that is near the buff limit.
- Mark of the Champion, Rune of the Dawn, and Seal of the Dawn’s benefits are now marked as “passive” auras and will no longer count towards the player buff cap.
- Spell batching removed
- The 400ms “spell batch” window has been reduced to 10ms.
- This should cause most player abilities to behave in a more responsive way, with damage and healing applied to targets faster. Certain operations in the game now resolve faster, such as purchasing multiple quantities of items from vendors rapidly.
- Paladin seals will now persist on the Paladin for a very short time after they’re replaced by a different seal, so that “seal twisting” remains possible.
Naxxrammas
- There is now no area of the raised platform in Heigan the Unclean’s encounter space that is safe from Heigan’s mana burn while Heigan himself is on the platform.
- Fixed a few areas in the Heigan the Unclean encounter space where Plague Waves could overlap and deal double damage.
Items
- Made several fixes and improvements to the combat behavior of guardians summoned from items such as the Vanquished Tentacle of C’thun, Defender of the Timbermaw, and Arcanite Dragonling to make them more likely to engage in combat in a wider variety of situations.
- Shadow Oil and Frost Oil can now proc while the player is on the Global Cooldown.
- Developers’ note: Shadow Oil is still bound by an internal cooldown however, and this is intended.
- Resolved an issue that caused the Barov Peasant Caller trinket to only spawn 1 Peasant.
- Resolved several issues with the Eye of the Dead trinket:
- Spells such as Chain Heal and Prayer of Healing now only consume a single charge.
- Heal-over-time spells now properly consume a charge when used.
Bug Fixes
- The Cryptstalker Headpiece is no longer missing part of the red eye glow effect.
- Resolved an issue that caused the Brimstone Staff and Rhok’delar, Longbow of Ancient Keepers to not properly animate.
- City Guards now once again correctly respond to /salute and /wave emotes.
