WoW: MoP Classic Phase 2 auf dem PTR bringt eines der beliebtesten WoW-Features zurück

Fans von WoW Classic haben Grund zur Freude, denn MoP Classic Phase 2 ist ab sofort auf dem PTR verfügbar. Das bedeutet: Eine der beliebtesten Nebenbeschäftigungen in der WoW-Geschichte kehrt bald zurück.

Mists of Pandaria gilt trotz des anfangs mit Skepsis beäugten Settings bis heute als eine der besten WoW-Erweiterungen überhaupt, und das liegt nicht nur an Pandaria als Kontinent und der damit zusammenhängenden Story-Kampagne. Denn ein Feature, das eigentlich nur eine Nebenbeschäftigung darstellt, hat die Herzen der Fans seinerzeit im Sturm erobert - und feiert bald ein Comeback.

Update "Landfall" mit Krasarangwildnis-Kampagne und Kampfgilde

Die Rede ist von der Kampfgilde, die mit Phase 2 von Mists of Pandaria Classic auf die Server von WoW Classic zurückkehrt. Aktuell müssen wir uns bis zum Release der zweiten Phase und dem Update mit dem Titel "Landfall" noch ein wenig gedulden. Wer aber die Rückkehr der Kampfgilde nicht mehr abwarten möchte, kann sich schon jetzt auf dem Testserver von MoP Classic Landfall austoben und sich in der Arena mit den bekannten ikonischen Bossen um die Wette prügeln.

Patch 5.5.1 ist ab sofort auf dem PTR von MoP Classic verfügbar und beinhaltet neben der Kampfgilde auch die Kampagne in der Krasarangwildnis, fünf neue Szenarien und Itemlevel-Upgrades. Nachfolgend lest ihr die vollständigen englischsprachigen Development-Patch-Notes inklusive bekannter Probleme auf dem PTR.

    • You should be pushed the quest "Meet the Scout". From there, seek out your faction's scout in Krasarang Wilds.

    • Available to both factions: Assault on Zan'vess, A Little Patience, Dagger in the Dark
    • Alliance Only: Lion's Landing

New Changes in Patch 5.5.1

Player versus Player

  • The Group Finder now has its own dedicated PvP listing, with cross realm functionality.
    • This is located under the Group Finder → Dungeons & Raids tab → Premade Groups → PvP button.
  • PvP Honor and Conquest Vendors are now back in their original places located on the Serpent's Spine.
  • The Arena Ladder brackets now each have their own set of achievements for Gladiator and Malevolent Gladiator.
    • For example, if you are Malevolent Gladiator in 3v3 and Gladiator in 2v2, you will now get two Achievements, One that says Malevolent Gladiator (2v2) and another that shows Gladiator (3v3).
  • A new title is being introduced this Arena Season to reward players who somehow manage to get Malevolent Gladiator in 2v2, 3v3, AND 5v5 in a single-season: Undisputed Gladiator.

Item Upgrades

  • Upgrading Rare Quality PvP gear 8 item-levels now costs 1000 Honor Points (was 1500).
  • Upgrading Rare Quality Dungeon gear 8 item-levels still costs 750 Justice Points.
  • Upgrading Epic Quality PvP gear 4 item-levels now costs 1500 Honor Points (was 750 Conquest Points).
    • This means it takes 3000 Honor to fully upgrade an Epic Quality PvP item instead of 1500 Conquest Points.
  • Upgrading Epic Quality PvE gear 4 item-levels now costs 1000 Justice Points (was 250 Valor Points).
    • This means it takes 2000 Justice to fully upgrade an Epic Quality PvE item instead of 500 Valor Points.
    • The updates to upgrades helps players feel like they can play and gear multiple specs, and aren't punished for having spent their Conquest or Valor Points in other places.

Experience and Reputation

  • The Blacktalon Quartermaster now offers a new Grand Commendation at Revered reputation. When consumed, your account gains a permanent increase to reputation gains for The Black Prince faction for all characters on the account.
  • The Experience bonus gained by level 85-90 characters has been increased from 10% to 65%.
    • This results in players requiring the same amount of raw experience to level as patch 5.4.8.
