Gaming community World of Warcraft: Shadowlands once again froze in anticipation: the upcoming patch “Chains of domination“Will change so much in the gameplay that some have chosen to postpone heroic deeds until its release. However, the timing of its release is still a mystery.
Version 9.1 introduces the Mythic Ratings system, which will include all dungeon explorers with keys. These ratings will be modeled on PvP ratings and Raider.io, and the number and difficulty of the completed dungeons, affixes and passage time will be taken into account.
It is likely that the Mythic Reting will be tied to some kind of gear upgrade opportunities, along with the valor and achievements of the Dungeon Master. For some special actions, a requirement will be put forward to bring your account to a certain value.
Blizzard is considering expanding and improving the guild system. But the developers remember how in the period “Cataclysm»The introduced perks kept players from creating guilds and joining new guilds. They want to avoid this.
Currently, the developers do not plan to give players the ability to return or disenchant legendary items. Heroes of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands should try to build a collection of legendaries, and not change them for current needs. For this, perhaps, they will come up with a way to change their secondary characteristics.
In 9.1, the process for obtaining Legendaries, especially the first one, should change. The patch should bring back and attract new players and help develop the alts. And it is important for them to get a legendary item and join their comrades on equal terms, without spending weeks on it.
As for the class balance, Hazzikostas is sure that the prevailing perception of classes is more influencing on demand than their technical characteristics. Characters, in particular, are not planning to give powerful group buffs: each class should have its own advantages, defined as “semi-unique”.
Hunters are not prepared to meet new spirits of animals, but they promise exciting adventures. Demon hunters will not receive a third specialization, as it will blur the clear division into combat and magic.
The transition between the Covenants is not going to be made easier or easier. Instead, the developers are thinking about the balance of the covenants and have already begun to correct it in the 9.0.5 update. By design, players shouldn’t feel like they only have one choice of covenant, even if they don’t like it.
Currently undergoing concurrent testing of Patch 9.1 and the Expansion Burning crusade classic… This is because both projects take different check and edit times. But both releases will certainly be spaced apart in time, so that those who play both versions of World of Warcraft should not be torn apart.
Blizzard is still silent on the timing of both major updates. On some guesses, the Burning Crusade Classic preliminary patch may appear in May.
