Hello everyone, this is Warcraft Weekly.
[Warcraft Weekly] is mainly composed of three parts: "Warcraft Events", "Warcraft Competitive Product Dynamics" and "Warcraft Game Update".
Let's take a look at the recent Warcraft news that is not unhappy!
【Warcraft Event】
What's new on June 6th? The official letter of Warcraft is here!
On May 10th, the official "World of Warcraft" spoke out again, intimately reminding all players that the blood roar reforge message activity will end on June 6th, and the current number of messages has exceeded 1.63 million!
At the same time, the official news of the return of the national service also gave a clear letter - they will bring you more news about the return of the national service at the end of the message activity.
Xia Yike, a well-known Warcraft blogger, left a message emphasizing that the official announcement of the return of the national service on June 6 will not mean that the national service will be opened on June 6.
As for the timing of the reopening of the national server, we can only hope that NetEase will work overtime every day and play the Warcraft national server in June.
Blizzard faces a sky-high compensation of 169 million due to the alleged infringement of Warcraft
Do you dare to believe that "World of Warcraft", which has been in operation for more than 20 years, is actually infringing?
Recently, with the conclusion of the first-instance judgment of the District Court of Delaware, Acceleration Bay successfully won their infringement lawsuit, demanding Activision Blizzard to pay 23.4 million US dollars, or about 169 million yuan, for technical infringement.
It is reported that this patented technology is related to the multiplayer function of online games, and the "World of Warcraft" and "Call of Duty" series of games need to pay Acceleration Bay the illegal proceeds from the infringement because of the illegal use of this patent, paying $18 million for "World of Warcraft" and $5.4 million for the "Call of Duty" series of games.
Although this compensation is not a huge expense for Blizzard, which has hundreds of millions of dollars in money every month, they really can't bear it, insisting that the multiplayer technology they use in "World of Warcraft" and "Call of Duty" is different from the technology covered by the Acceleration Bay patent, and should not pay this compensation, and they are already preparing materials for the second instance appeal.
However, considering that Acceleration Bay started the road of rights protection as early as 2015, and Activision Blizzard is not the first company to be dissatisfied with this result, we can only wish them good luck here.
Blizzard is dry too! Kobe Bryant was made into Warcraft 11.0
Some time ago, the news that Internet celebrities imitated Kobe Bryant and became short video celebrities has set off a lot of waves on the Internet, and even some companies have developed a brand like Kobe Bryant.
Unexpectedly, Blizzard, who has always had thick eyebrows and big eyes, also did it!
Some players found in the Warcraft 11.0 test server that a new goblin company called Kobe Cottage was added, and a female goblin named Kobe Bryant said that she would open Kobe Bars everywhere in Azeroth.
Although this NPC does not have a clear reference to the recent rise of Kobe wine, it can't stop you from talking to the female goblin in Warcraft, and she just says "I'm Kobe".
By the way, Goblin Engineering does make helicopters, and the quality of this helicopter is generally not good.
【Warcraft Competitive Product News】
A new continent, El Garcia, opens! The new version of "Ark of Destiny" is scheduled for May 22
Ark of Destiny will be updated with a new version on May 22, and the legendary Celestial El Garcia will be the main content of this new version. Legend has it that Lupayn, the god of order, created the continent of El Garcia, where Rajnes lived, in a land full of light blessings, where Rajnes lived according to the guidance of the gods and repented of their past sins.
After reaching item level 1460, players can complete the quest [Open Gate of Paradise] to go to El Garcia, where they will work with Ninaf to find the whereabouts of the last ark.
The new Abyss Dungeon, the last sanctuary created by the gods, "Cayangal", will also be available in this version, with an item level of 1540 on Normal difficulty and 1580 on Hard difficulty.
Normal difficulty [Kayanger] will randomly drop equipment enhancement materials, ancient jewelry, relic ability stones, enhancement books, Divine Chosen Heroes, etc.; In addition to the above materials, Hard difficulty [Kayangal] also drops [Book of Judgment] and Legendary Mounts, which can strengthen the Relic-level Ability Stone to the fourth stage of the Ancient Level.
In addition, this version will also bring players massive class balance changes, as well as epic enhancements to witches and marksmanship.
The technical verification of the iOS version of "World of Taris" will be launched on May 13th and will last for three days!
The recruitment for the iOS version of "The World of Taris" has now ended, and the game will start the iOS version technical verification on May 13, which lasts for 3 days, and the game version is the same as the final test.
The recruitment information of this test is released, which also indicates that the iOS side of Taris World has passed Apple's review, according to the news of the uncle's party, June 14 may be the day of the official public beta of "Taris World".
Therefore, in the case that the Warcraft national server will have a letter on June 6th, the positioning of this game, or the core selling point, can be seen at the simultaneous opening of the wasteland at both ends.
【Warcraft Game Update】
The buffs are stacked! The Black Sister became the Supreme Leader of the Arashi
Do you dare to believe that Blizzard was able to make Brother Ni the supreme leader of the most bullish X kingdom in order to curry favor with some ZZZQ groups???
In the latest update to Warcraft 11.0, the third map located in the depths of the earth, the Lost Arathi Expedition settlement of Meteorite, was released. And the supreme leader who was ordered to guard this map was the "Lamplighter" Felin Lothar, the inheritor of the ancient Arachi bloodline, a staunch guardian of the Holy Light, and also a dark-skinned woman......
If it's just because of the skin color, it won't cause players to be so disgusted, after all, everyone in the West ZZZQ has long been surprised.
As for the role of Ferrin Lothar, the main reason why it is not likable is that the Blizzard screenwriters stacked a lot of anti-sky buffs for her. For example, Ferrin Lothar lost her left eye when she was a child to protect Alatho's Eternal Flame, lost her left arm in a heroic battle, and is very manly......
Even putting aside the overlapping buff factors of LGBT and disability, her surname Lothar is the same as the legendary warrior Anduin Lothar.
You must know that in the previous Azeroth Chronicles, the surname Lothar has always represented the purest Terran heroic bloodline inheritance, and Anduin Lothar also bears the name of "the last Arathi bloodline", and has been on fire in Warcraft for more than twenty years, so it really makes no sense to arrange a black relative for such a legendary figure.
At this point, we can only hope that this black sister will not be the illegitimate daughter of Lothar.
Waiting for the stone to be bored again! Warcraft has added a new way to play with cats
Recently, after the Warcraft 11.0 U.S. test server update, some players discovered that Blizzard actually added a cat play in the game for the first time in history. Currently, there are a large number of fat cats scattered in Enokar, the home city of the 11.0 new race Tuling, and when the character gets close to them, they can press the interaction button to play with them, and even pick them up and pet them in various ways.
And once you don't do it right, these cats will break free from your arms, knock you to the ground, and look at you shyly. It can be said that this design is too much to restore the habits of cats.
In addition, in the new 11.0 map, the Arashi will also teach players the art of raising bobcats, starting with a bobcat cub and raising them as mounts, battle pets, and hunter babies.
Judging from these casual new gameplay, Blizzard should be deliberately preparing to introduce some "macho games" to kill time, to increase the daily activity of players, so that those casual parties also have something to do, and we will not be bored when waiting for the collection stone in the future.
