BfA: Videos zu den gestrigen Raidtests in Uldir

Wie bereits zu Beginn des aktuellen Monats durch einen Bluepost in den offiziellen Battle.Net Foren von World of Warcraft angekündigt wurde, haben die für die fortlaufende Entwicklung dieses beliebten MMORPGs in der vergangenen Nacht die ersten richtigen Raidtests in der geschlossenen Beta von Battle for Azeroth durchgeführt. Während dieser einige Stunden langen Testphase durften die daran interessierten Tester in die heroische Version der Titaneneinrichtung Uldir eindringen und dort dann gegen die beiden recht früh in dieser Instanz untergebrachten Encounter „Mother“ und „Vectis“ antreten. Netterweise haben viele dieser Tester ihre Begegnungen mit diesen beiden Bosskämpfen auch wieder in mittlerweile auf YouTube veröffentlichten Videos festgehalten, sodass nun selbst die Spieler einen Blick auf diese neuen Encounter werfen, die bisher noch nicht selbst in die Beta eingeladen wurden. Folgend findet ihr sowohl Bildmaterial zu diesen Tests als auch kurze Übersichten zu den Fähigkeiten dieser beiden kommenden Bosse.
