Patch 7.3.2 PTR: Eine Wunde in Silithus, neue Dialoge und Klassenänderungen

Zur Überraschung eines Großteils der Community von World of Warcraft haben die für dieses MMORPG zuständigen Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment in der vergangenen Nacht nun endlich die wie üblich auf dem öffentlichen Testserver stattfindende Testphase zu dem kommenden Patch 7.3.2 gestartet. Den kurz darauf in den Foren veröffentlichten PTR Development Notes von Community Manager Lore zufolge handelt es sich bei diesem neuen Update um einen recht kleinen Patch, der neben den üblichen Fehlerbehebungen eigentlich auch nur noch eine Reihe von neuen Gegenständen, eine neue Version des Dungeonkompendiums, neue Dialoge für ausgewählte NPCs und recht viele Spielbalanceänderungen beinhaltet. Trotz dieser Aussage des Entwicklerteams konnten Data Miner in diesem kommenden Patch schon jetzt eine äußerst interessante Änderung an Silithus ausfindig machen, die dieses Gebiet beinahe komplett zerstört und wahrscheinlich sehr bald eine wichtige Rolle in der Lore von World of Warcraft spielen wird.

Wer nun gerne mehr über den bald erscheinenden Patch 7.3.2, die auf dem PTR stattfindende Testphase und die Wunde in Silithus erfahren möchte, der sollte jetzt unbedingt einen Blick auf die folgende Zusammenfassung der interessantesten Funde aus den Daten dieser neuen Spielversion werfen.

PTR Development Notes – Patch 7.3.2

We’ve updated the 7.3 PTR with a new patch, labeled as 7.3.2. This patch is very minor, focused around updating a few of our backend systems as well as making some final adjustments in preparation for the release of the Antorus raid zone. There’s no new content or features in this update, and any other changes will be extremely light (in most cases limited to simply correcting tooltips to reflect hotfixes that are already live).

As such, we’re not planning to post regular development notes with future builds, but will post updates regarding raid testing as that process continues. Thanks, and happy testing!

Silithus: The Wound

Data Miner konnten in den Spieldaten von Patch 7.3.2 eine neue Version von Silithus ausfindig machen. Diese neue Variante dieser klassischen Zone wurde von den Entwicklern mit einem beinahe die gesamte Zone weitem Loch ausgestattet, welches eine im Kampf gegen Argus, der Zerrütter entstandene Wunde darstellt. Scheinbar sickert das Blut des in Azeroth schlummernden Titanen durch diese Wunde an die Oberfläche, weshalb sich sowohl die Spieler als auch Khadgar mit diesem Loch in dem Planeten beschäftigen müssen.

Da in den PTR-Patchnotes zu Patch 7.3.2 allerdings geschrieben steht, dass dieses Update keine wirklich größeren Neuerungen mit sich bringen wird, ist diese Wunde in Silithus vermutlich für ein mit einem zukünftigen Patch erscheinendes Event bestimmt. Dabei könnte es sich dann beispielsweise um das Pre-Event zur nächsten Erweiterung oder eines der zum Überbrücken der Wartezeit zwischen Patch 7.3 und dem nächsten Addon bestimmten Ereignis handeln.

Neue Dialoge:

Die folgenden Dialoge beinhalten Spieler zu Antorus und der weiter oben vorgestellten Wunde in Silithus.

Informationen zu Argus, der Zerrütter:

Der kommende Patch 7.3.2 beinhaltet endlich den im Dungeonkompendium des Spiels einsehbaren Eintrag zu dem neuen Encounter „Argus, der Zerrütter“. Diese Informationen vermitteln allen daran interessierten Personen, wie genau dieser Bosskampf abläuft, was für Mechaniken dieser Encounter besitzt und was für Auswirkungen diese Begenung auf die Lore des Spiels hat. Den vollständigen Eintrag zu diesem hoffentlicht bald bekämpfbaren Gegner findet ihr unter diesem Link.

Ein Händler für Ursargerit:

Ab Patch 7.3.2 befindet sich in der Vindicaar ein neuer Händler, der den Spielern eine Reihe von verschiedenen Waren für einzige Einheiten an  Ursargerit verkauft. Wer diese Ressource aktuell also bereits besitzt und noch nichts damit anfangen kann, der sollte sie auf jeden Fall bis zu dem Release dieses Updates aufheben.
