The difficulty of the quest of the World of Warcraft Nostalgia suit has a significant impact on the player, even to the point where it can affect the popularity of the game. For example, before the weakening of the T5 group, it triggered a large-scale AFK for players, and after the weakening of the T5 group, there was a large-scale return of players. As a result, most players are more receptive to the less difficult version. However, while the P3 stage was open to testing, players had a new debate about the difficulty of the T6 group.
Some players think that the T6 group of test suits is too convenient, which is not challenging for hardcore teams, while others think that the difficulty of version 2.43 is just right, allowing casual players to get the same dungeon experience.
Perhaps because of the continuous pressure from the external players, Blizzard quickly ended the P3 stage of the test, so players are also speculating whether Blizzard will release a difficult version in the subsequent test. Fortunately, Blizzard didn't do that, but reiterated the difficulty of the P3 quest in the form of a blue sticker.
According to Blizzard's latest blue post, the P3 stage PTR test will soon be opened again, and it will only fix some bugs encountered in the previous test, and will not make any adjustments to the difficulty. At the same time, Blizzard also said that the T6 group of nostalgic clothes has only one difficulty, that is, the difficulty of the PTR test (2.43 version of the difficulty).
Many players are also more confused about this blue sticker, why did Blizzard proudly give a difficult version in the P2 stage, and directly release the 2.43 version in the P3 stage? In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, the P2 stage of the loss of players is too much.
Although the external player forum prefers a difficult version, and even does not want Blizzard to weaken the T5 group prematurely, the players who "scream" in the forum are only a small number, and AFK players will not go to the blue post to complain.
Blizzard has internal data, knows the change in the online rate of players in the P2 stage, when the online rate of the P2 stage has dropped significantly, you can find the problem through analysis, and this problem is that the difficulty of the copy is too high (it takes too long), so Blizzard is also a very helpless choice to come up with the 2.43 version in the P3 stage.
As for the impact of the 2.43 version of the copy difficulty on the player, in fact, the impact is very small, even if there is an impact, it is more beneficial than harmful, which can be seen from the situation before and after the weakening of the T5 group, after the weakening of the copy participation rate is high, the player online rate has risen, many servers have returned to the queue, and the studio's single group income has also declined.
In addition to determining the difficulty of the T6 regiment, Blizzard also made some descriptions of the difficulty of the Well of the Sun in the blue post. According to Blizzard: The developers will have made a choice before and after the well of the sun debug weakened and weakened versions.
You know, the most difficult tuanben of the entire TBC version is the Well of the Sun, especially the boss of Muru, who only had one guild successfully opened up the wasteland before the weakening.
Unsurprisingly, Blizzard should also open the low-difficulty Sun well, which should be the first weakened version, if not the final weakened version (there were two weakens before 3.0). Although the level of players is higher today, if the initial version is really opened, it will be very fatal for casual players, and it may even be that the WLK is opened on the eve of the WLK, and many players have not yet seen the situation in Kilgardan.
