Legion Beta: Ein Hotfix für die legendären World Drops

Einem vor einigen Tagen von Game Designer Zugsworth in den offiziellen Battle.Net Foren veröffentlichten Bluepost zufolge haben die Entwickler von World of Warcraft vor Kurzem scheinbar einen neuen Hotfix auf die Server der geschlossenen Beta der kommenden Erweiterung „Legion“ aufgespielt, der eine Vielzahl von Anpassungen an den in dieser Testphase vorhandenen legendären World Drops mit sich brachte. Dabei konzentrierte sich dieser neue Hotfix scheinbar aber hauptsächlich auf das Balancing dieser Legendaries im Vergleich zueinander und zu anderen Gegenständen, weshalb dieses Update in den meisten Fällen nur einige Werte und Schadenzahlen verändere.

Der Bluepost: We applied a hotfix today to adjust the power of multiple Legion legendary items with the intent of leveling off the power they provide. If you’ve been concerned a legendary item is too high or too low, please check again. Thank you for all of the feedback, it has been tremendously helpful!

Wer diese angepassten legendären Gegenstände nun gerne vor dem Launch von Legion am 30. August 2016 ausprobieren möchte und über einen Zugang zu der geschlossenen Beta verfügt, der kann diese Legendaries zu Testzwecken direkt bei einem Händler in Dalaran erwerben und ausrüsten. Dadurch möchten die Entwickler sicherstellen, dass genug Spieler diese teilweise mit sehr mächtigen Effekten ausgestatteten Gegenstände testen können und sie sich beim Balancing nicht vollständig auf zufällige World Drops verlassen müssen.

Ansonsten veröffentlichten die Mitarbeiter der Internetseite „mmo-champion“ vor Kurzem auch noch eine umfangreiche Übersicht zu diesem Hotfix, die einmal genau auflistet, welche legendären World Drops mit diesem Update verändert wurden.
