Patch 7.2.5: Der neue Build 24271 ist der „Release Candidate“

Im Verlauf der vergangenen Nacht haben die für World of Warcraft verantwortlichen Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment unter anderem den neuen Build 24271 auf den aktuell noch immer aktiv laufenden PTR für den kommenden Patch 7.2.5 aufgespielt, der dieses Mal allerdings nicht einfach nur eine Reihe von Neuerungen und Änderungen für diese allen daran interessierten Spielern zugängliche Testphase mit sich brachte, sondern die aktuelle Spielversion dieses Updates auch noch als Release Candidate kennzeichnete. Aus diesem Grund können die Spieler von World of Warcraft nun mit ziemlicher Sicherheit davon ausgehen, dass der neuen Build 24271 eine der letzten Versionen von Patch 7.2.5 darstellt und die Entwickler dieses vermutlich bereits in der nächsten Woche erscheinende Update in seiner derzeit auf dem PTR vorhandenen Form auf die Liveserver dieses MMORPGs aufspielen werden. Wer nun gerne erfahren möchte, was für Änderungen und Neuerungen dieser Build zusätzlich zu dieser Kennzeichnung mit sich brachte, der sollte unbedingt einmal einen Blick auf die folgende Zusammenfassung der bisher bereits von Data Minern entdeckten Inhalte werfen.

Arvaanas: Hey all, We’ll be bringing down the PTR realms today in order to deploy a new 7.2.5 build. Please note that this build is an RC and as such Character Copy will be disabled. No ETA for today’s push but I’ll update this thread if things look like they’re going to take longer than usual (~4-6 hours).

As always, I’ll leave this thread open for discussion as long as conversations remain civil and adhere to the forum guidelines.

Thanks for your patience everyone!

Der Release Candidate:

Interessanterweise wurde dieser neue Build 24271 von den Entwicklern als Release Candidate gekennzeichnet. Aus diesem Grund ist es im Moment sehr wahrscheinlich, dass die Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment keine größeren Veränderungen mehr planen und dieses Update in seiner aktuellen Form auf die Liveserver aufspielen werden. Fehlerbehebungen oder kleinere Anpassungen am Balancing sind allerdings auch weiterhin möglich.

Belohnungen für den Erfolg „ Glory of the Tomb Raider„:

Der neue Build 24271 beinhaltete unter anderem die finalen Belohnungen für den Meta-Erfolg „ Glory of the Tomb Raider„. Während die Meta-Erfolge für die Schlachtzüge von World of Warcraft die Spieler in der Vergangenheit meistens mit speziellen Reittieren belohnten, so überlässt diese neue Errungenschaft aus dem Grabmal des Sargeras den erfolgreichen Personen überraschenderweise den neuen Titel „Name, the Tomb Raider“ und das auf der Sentinax basierende neue Haustier „ Micronax Controller„.  

 Micronax Controller: Whenever his forces would experience setbacks in Azeroth, Kil’Jaeden would pull out Micronax and terrorize the local cat-like creatures of Argus to vent his frustrations.
