Patch 7.2: Der neue Build 23708 wurde auf den PTR aufgespielt

Im Verlauf der vergangenen Nacht haben die Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment den neuen Build 23708 auf den mittlerweile bereits seit einigen Wochen aktiv laufenden PTR von Patch 7.2: Das Grabmal des Sargeras aufgespielt und dadurch dann wieder einmal einige Änderungen an den auf diesem Testserver vorhandenen Inhalten durchgeführt. Dabei brachte diese neue Spielversion von Patch 7.2 neben den üblichen Klassenänderungen dann auch noch die Ladebildschirme für die Instanzen aus diesem Update, die Hintergrundmusik für die im Grabmal des Sargeras vorhandenen Bosskämpfe, Anpassungen an den Animationen einiger Klassenreittiere und mehrere Kleinigkeiten mit sich. Folgend findet ihr nun die von den Entwicklern verfassten PTR Development Notes zu diesem neuen Build und eine Zusammenfassung der bisher bereits von Data Minern in diesem Update entdeckten Änderungen und Neuerungen.

PTR Development Notes – Build 23708:

This week’s update contains more tuning and tweaks for several of the new features and content pieces in 7.2.

We’ve taken an initial pass at setting the rate of income for Nethershards, as well as the cost of items they can be used to purchase. While we’re planning to do some additional tuning next week once we’ve got a better handle on how it’s playing out, these numbers should be much more in-line with where we want things to be.

There are several tweaks to Artifact Traits, and a few adjustments to a couple Legendaries as part of our overall goal to bring them more in line with each other in value. We’ve also removed the mechanic that allowed Relics to have a second, randomized Artifact Trait bonus; we’ve shared more info on that change here.

We’re also planning to do another focused test on our new server technology this week. Tomorrow (Wednesday, March 8) at 3 PM Pacific (12 AM CET) we’ll be spawning in Withered J’im in Aszuna and asking as many players as possible to go fight him. We need to put as much strain on our servers as possible, so if you have the time, please join us! We’ll have a blog post later today with more details.

This week will have another Play with the Blues event, this time focused around Arena Skirmishes. On Thursday, from 3 PM to 5 PM Pacific time, we’ll be on the PTR queuing for Skirmishes. We’re looking forward to seeing you in the Arena, and getting your feedback on how they’re playing.

Thanks again, and happy testing!
