The progress of the P3 stage is even faster than we thought, and recently the players have begun to circulate the news that the P4 stage is about to open, at the beginning Xiao Hachi has always felt that these rumors are a bit unreliable, because the P3 stage in TBC has only entered the fourth CD, away from the other stages of the standard 8 CDs and the P2 stage is longer, it seems a little too hasty compared, but from the recent re-combing of the main line found that the P4 stage is not so far from the time of the launch, so why?
A large number of players have an impression in their hearts that in the corresponding version of world of Warcraft TBC, the P2 stage should correspond to a transition stage, and the group of the T5 stage is a transition group, but in the actual TBC, it is found that there seems to be some rollover, the time of the P2 stage is extended, but Blizzard's planning for the World of Warcraft TBC is only 18 months, which means that other stages must speed up the progress, but from the version point of view, there is no other stage in the P2 stage suitable for acceleration.
At this point, the pressure is given to the P3 stage, because neither Zuman nor the subsequent tuanben has any possibility of shortening, and at this time it is necessary to shorten P3. Although there are many players who say that there are egg knives in the P3 stage and that Haigar Mountain and the Dark Temple are not low in difficulty (in the early TBC), Little Eight can uncover the answer to why the P3 stage is reduced to the transition stage by discovering in the arena, because the P3 stage arena belongs to S3 and the P4 stage arena also belongs to S3, so P3 and P4 share an arena season.
According to Brian Berminghan, "There's a war bear mount that's about to be added to the game, and it's probably the Zuman Bear." There is no official announcement yet, but we are already doing work on Zuman." It seems that the interview did not say whether the P4 stage is coming, but Xiaoba heard the news that the P4 stage is coming from his words, but it has not yet been announced when it will be launched, and according to the current rhythm, the eighth CD of the P3 stage is likely to be the day when the P4 stage is officially opened.
From the overall planning of TBC and the time of the arena season, Xiaoba guessed that the time of the P4 stage would not be too long, since the time consumed in the front was too long, then only the two stages of the combined arena season could be used to quickly catch up, and from the content of the version, the P4 stage itself was also a repair and supplement to the gameplay of the P3 stage, so according to the two-month calculation of the P4 stage should be officially met with the players at the end of March or the beginning of April.
In other words, there is not much new addition in the P4 stage, because the equipment is more for the existing equipment in the P3 stage to be iterated and optimized, so that the attributes between players become more balanced. Zuman will drop a large number of equipment with broken armor and rapids, once again optimizing some French DPS and melee physics classes to a whole new height.
Many people predict that the P3 stage will usher in the brand suit, at which time civilian players will rise, but from the current point of view, the P4 stage will definitely usher in the card suit (should not be punched in the face), because after entering the P4 players can get more fair badges in the game, at this time the pressure to redeem the card suit will be reduced. So at this time, world of Warcraft TBC launched a brand suit, but the value of the brand at this time was weakened a lot, and even some players bluntly said that the brand at this time was a chicken rib.
But chicken ribs or not we need to discuss according to the actual situation, maybe in the place where the stone is gathered, we see that other people's equipment is graduation clothes, and even the egg knife ghost tiger is not uncommon, but when we are in the dungeon, we will find the gap between the rich and the poor between the players. Although the brand suit is only barely up to the level of the P3 stage quasi-graduation suit, it is still enough for most ordinary players to casual party and civilian players.
