[Popular nostalgic game updates]
World of Warcraft WLK nostalgic server preview, the classic gameplay has been seriously modified!
"World of Warcraft" has confirmed that it will open the "Wrath of the Lich King" classic server in 2022, and Blizzard has made magical changes to the classic gameplay of WLK classic server during the B beta stage.
Magic Modification 1: Can Zero Light Yogg-Saron be beaten with his hands? According to the actual player experience of the current B-test of WLK Classic Server, players only need to wear a set of P1 stage equipment to knock down Yogg-Saron Zero Light with their eyes closed. What is puzzling is that Blizzard designers have also secretly increased the "burst" damage of most professions to make players more enjoyable.
For example, in the TBC classic version, I have been a "sewer" professional punishment rider for several versions. Not only can I share the powerful DPS skill "Blood Seal" in the WLK classic version, but I also retain the "Seal Dance" in terms of skill rotation. "This BUG style of play allows the Punishment Cavalry player to activate Double Seal in a short period of time, causing tons of damage.
Magic Modification 2: WLK Classic Server with an overall reduction in difficulty. During the B-test of WLK Classic Server, dungeons such as NAXX, Obsidian Temple, and Alkavon's Treasure House are no longer as "brave" as they were in the past, and the difficulty of their dungeons has been lowered to varying degrees by designers.
Although these copies have not yet reached the point of being "given for free", compared with the MC and full-skill Hakkar of the classic nostalgic server, and the Kael'thas and Archimonde of the TBC nostalgic server, they are "given for free". It is much more "friendly" and is an "ultimate weakened version" that is more unrestrained than private servers.
The difficulty of various dungeons seems to have been modified. The hot fix patches for professional talents and a large number of server BUFFs that do not belong to the TBC era have not only broken the technical barriers for new players to enter the game and the return of old players, but also made Phoenix, Orange Bow, and Egg Knives, one-of-a-kind rare props, have gradually become "collectibles" that nostalgic old players can buy if they have money.
