Patch 7.3: Der neue Build 24539

Im Verlauf der letzten Nacht haben die Entwickler von World of Warcraft den neuen Build 24539 auf den allen daran interessierten Spielern offenstehenden Testserver von Patch 7.3 aufgespielt und dadurch dann wieder einmal eine Reihe von Änderungen und Neuerungen zu dieser interessanten Testphase hinzugefügt. Dabei brachte diese neue Spielversion von Patch 7.3 unter anderem die bereits vor einigen Tagen angekündigten Änderungen an den Wildheits-Druiden, die für solch einen Build üblichen Änderungen an den T-21 Set Boni, die neue Zone „Mac’aree“, einige Neuerungen für die Missionen und die Invasionspunkte mit sich. Weiter unten in diesem Artikel findet ihr nun die von Community Manager Lore verfassten PTR Development Notes zu diesem neuen Update und eine praktische Zusammenfassung aller bisher von Data Minern in den Spieldaten dieses Builds ausfindig gemachten Inhalte.

Die PTR Development Notes:

This week’s PTR update has a few new additions. First and foremost, the second Argus area – Mac’aree – is now available, including some new chapters of the 7.3 story as well as some new World Quests. Note that, in order to reach Mac’aree, you’ll need to have completed the previous story chapters. Please let us know what you think!

This update also opens up Invasion Points for testing. Once you’ve unlocked them by completing a short quest chain (which begins on the Vindicaar), you’ll start to see Invasion Points appearing on the Argus map. These are portals to other worlds that the Legion has begun invading, and as part of our efforts to shut down the Legion once and for all, you’ll be able to enter the portal and stop their invasion.

You should also be able to access 7.3’s new Troops and Missions. We’re making a few changes and improvements to the Mission system with these updates, including some new ways to catch up Champions that may be behind on item level, and several new missions (including a few that are designed to let you burn off any extra Order Hall Resources you might have stockpiled).

You’ll also see some pretty substantial changes for Feral Druids in this build. We’ve been trying to avoid making too many class changes in the 7.x.0 patches (keeping them mostly confined to 7.x.5 updates) but wanted to make sure we got these updates in for 7.3. We’re looking forward to hearing your feedback once you’ve had some hands-on time with the changes.

Note that the Seat of the Triumvirate dungeon is not accessible in today’s update. It wasn’t quite ready for PTR testing, so we’re keeping it locked down for now. It’ll be made available in a future PTR update (hopefully next week)!

Of course, as with all PTR updates, there are likely to be several other changes and updates as we continue iterating on 7.3 content. Thanks, and happy testing!
