BfA: Weitere Videos zu den Raidtests in Uldir

In der Nacht von Mittwoch auf Donnerstag und in der Nacht von Donnerstag auf Freitag haben die Entwickler von World of Warcraft weitere Raidtests auf dem derzeit laufenden Testserver der geschlossenen Beta von Battle for Azeroth veranstaltet und es allen daran interessierten Testern dadurch dann ermöglicht gegen vier verschiedene Encounter in der heroischen Version des kommenden Schlachtzugs Uldir anzutreten. Da diese beiden Testphasen selbstverständlich auch dieses Mal wieder von vielen Teilnehmern in Videoform festhalten und kurz darauf auf YouTube veröffentlicht wurde, können jetzt selbst die Personen einen Blick auf die unfertigen Mechaniken dieser Bosse werfen, die bisher noch keine Einladung in diese Testphase erhalten haben.
