Today is the 479th day of Blizzard's national server suspension and the 37th day of the official return. Welcome to continue to pay attention to the latest news of "World of Warcraft", a large-scale online dating chat room game that is currently popular all over the world, and will soon have a national server.
Blizzard confirms the Mystery of the Panda Man nostalgic suit, which is restored in its original flavor
Recently, Blizzard designers Clayton Stone and Linny Cooke were interviewed by the media about the Cataclysm Nostalgia Costume, during which they talked a lot about the mechanics of the Nostalgia Costume, and they finally revealed the big news that the Pandaman Mystery Nostalgia Costume is already in development.
Although Blizzard has not officially released any announcements related to the "Mystery of the Panda Man" nostalgia costume at present, the designer has confirmed in an interview that the MoP nostalgia costume currently under development will be an original version of the Panda Man, and it is a completely different game from the just-launched "Mystery of the Panda Man: Fantasy Rebirth". Linny confirmed that Blizzard wanted to completely recreate the original Pandaren Mystery expansion experience.
Although the Mystery of the Panda Man version has a mediocre reputation among domestic players, it is a very good expansion film in the hearts of foreign players, and has always ranked in the top three. Therefore, Blizzard is very willing to fully restore the Mystery of the Panda Man expansion, and may also want to use this to make the nostalgic costume popular again.
According to the current news, the reopening of the national server will start with the Ulduar version of WLK, so there may be three situations in the future. One is to open the version step by step, never keeping pace with the world. The second is that WLK and CTM are opened together, and eventually merged into MOP together. The third is to only open WLK, skip CTM completely, and finally open MOP when the national server directly enters MOP synchronously with the world.
Judging from these three situations, Xiao O feels that the probability of skipping CTM directly is very high, because the current attitude of Blizzard towards CTM is also to hurry up and finish the Mystery of the Panda Man nostalgic costume. In the end, the national service retains a permanent WLK nostalgic uniform, so that everyone is happy.
Cataclysm Nostalgia Suit, a bento version destined to be quickly skipped
At present, Blizzard designers have also talked a lot about the content and mechanics of the Cataclysm Nostalgia Suit, and the basic idea makes people feel that they still want to skip CTM quickly. Let's share it with you.
1. The difficulty of the direct opening of the group is weakened, the stage time is compressed, and the comprehensive convenience is coming
Blizzard decided to implement a "non-original" change in Cataclysm, setting the difficulty of team dungeons directly to the "weakened" state. The designer said that compared to the difficulty before the nerf, the current difficulty after the nerf will be suitable for more players, so that more people can participate in the group book.
In addition, Blizzard has decided to speed up the progress of each version of the Cataclysm Nostalgia server, shortening the time of each stage. The reason given by the designers is that after the previous three versions of the nostalgic costume, the player already has enough experience to deal with the content of the nostalgic costume.
Although Blizzard said the superficial reason, Xiao O felt that the main purpose was to finish it quickly, after all, the first three nostalgic clothing versions were all weakened first before the difficulty was weakened and then weakened.
Of course, Blizzard also kept a hand for itself, and the words were not very full. The designer said that if the player wants to increase the difficulty in the later stage, then the "Land of Fire" team can also adjust the difficulty in the next stage, which depends entirely on the player's feedback.
2. Delete the random group book and use a similar catch-up mechanism to WLK
Blizzard has confirmed that it does not plan to launch a random team book in the Cataclysm Nostalgia server, even if the official server is on the random difficulty that has been opened in Dragon's Soul, there will be no nostalgia server at the moment.
There are currently no plans for the Nostalgia Grand Mysteries mode, but there will be a difficulty like WLK's Alpha Dungeon (catch-up mechanic).
Currently, the Cataclysm Nostalgia suit is designed according to the final class adjustments in version 4.3.2, and will only be adjusted unless there are anomalies.
The increase in the number of drops and the acquisition of courage points should be announced at a later stage.
PvP gear is obtained differently.
3. The archaeology subsistence mechanism, everyone can get the best
In terms of archaeology, because the original setting is too "face-looking", Blizzard may add a "sub-security" mechanic, similar to how many important items will inevitably appear after archaeology. However, this mechanic may not be implemented until after the release of the group book, so as not to affect the group base event with some equipment.
