The World of Warcraft WLK Nostalgia suit will be launched in 2022, which is officially announced by Blizzard, which means that the WLK nostalgic suit will meet with players in a few months. At the last conference on the WLK nostalgic suit, Blizzard's designer clearly mentioned that the WLK nostalgic suit will not be launched on the random version, that is to say, the player plays a 5-person copy, and also has to shout the group on the world channel, and everyone goes to the copy together. The old version of WLK added a random book in the later stage, obviously it is the setting that level 80 should have, why did Blizzard slash the random book in the WLK nostalgic suit?
Xiang Zige remembered that in the WLK version more than a decade ago, the random version was indeed very popular when it first appeared, but it did not take long for serious problems to appear, and the time of the random copy of each class was different, and the balance was instantly broken. For example, the random copy of MT and the treatment row is basically seconds in, and it is always in line at any time, so there is no need to worry about the problem of long queue time. As a DPS profession, there is a big difference from MT and healing random copies, and it is not bad to be able to rank in the copy in half an hour.
5-person copy MT and treatment only 2 positions, DPS occupies 3 positions, even if the number of MT and treatment can not meet the needs of random copies, over time, players like to use MT and healing to play random copies, DPS because of a long time can not be ranked into random copies, players are not willing to use DPS class random copies. Later, mt and therapy were pulled by other players to hug their thighs, which further aggravated the time for individual and casual players to arrange random copies.
This also creates a vicious circle, and slowly the number of MT and treatments begins to decrease, remember that in the later stages, in order to encourage MT and healing players to arrange random copies, they also provided rewards for MT and healing. The reward chest is very rich, with all kinds of equipment, pets and mounts, and the Raven God mount of Shoko Brother was opened from the reward chest by using MT to hit random copies at that time. It is said that the reward chest can also open the reins of the headless horseman, I don't know if it is true or fake, anyway, Brother Xiangzi did not open it.
Another point is that the quality of random copy players is not guaranteed, I believe that the old players who have experienced it are still fresh in their memories, lucky to meet some players with better equipment, and everyone smoothly finishes the random copy. Bad luck can meet a blue-green player, and there is no consciousness, more terrible is to engage in mentality, like scolding, leaving the team at will, once the mentality explodes, the player has no intention of playing the copy and directly chooses to quit the game.
Blizzard's decision to cancel the random quest was that the social relationship between players was severed, which is definitely the biggest hidden danger caused by the random copy. 5-player copy belongs to the bottom social, players in the copy in addition to killing the BOSS, social is also very important, once there is no social between players, then the popularity of the game will quickly decrease, resulting in a large number of players lost.
WLK Nostalgia Suits without random copies Players will also shout at guilds and world channels, invisibly making a lot of friends, and the bond between friends will also drive the game. And the lack of a random copy will also reduce the graduation speed of the player's 5-player copy, so that the player will not be offline every CD on the line, just like the current official service.
Therefore, Xiangzi Brother personally believes that Blizzard's cancellation of random in the WLK nostalgia suit is more beneficial than harmful, and it can also be seen that Blizzard wants to make the World of Warcraft nostalgic suit go further, not the end of the WLK nostalgic suit.
