Azeroth in 5 :: February 5th, 2014 TRANSCRIPT
This is Azeroth in 5
for the seven days up to Wednesday, February 5th, 2014.
In breaking news,
Blizzard has announced late Tuesday 4th that the scheduled conclusion
to PvP Season 14 could arrive 'as early as two weeks from now.' We
have as yet however no confirmation of a launch date for the
Expansion. Keep listening for further news and developments as they
are reported.
Blizzard continues to
update and amend details on the PTR server: the latest push of Patch
5.4.7 adds a shop button to the Character Selection screen, has
introduced a reduction in damage to the Rogue ability Nerve Strike on
player targets, and an initial plan to amend the functionality of the
Warrior spells Charge and Warbringer has been replaced with a new
plan to make Disrupting Shout and Pummel partially share a cooldown.
Season 15 Prideful items are now available for purchase on the PTR,
while temporary consumables vendors have also been added to assist
players in testing changes. Data mining has also revealed that
Boosted level 90's will be provided with ilevel 483 gear on their
creation.
Looking forward to the
much-anticipated Patch 6.0, a Blue Post confirmed that Blizzard is
working towards creating an 'always off' setting for PvE players to
actively prevent any participation in PvP activity, including being
zoned to a PvP realm or unintentionally flagging players by their
actions. There has also been a commitment made to review low level
PvP and the imbalances that exist therein. However, perhaps the most
significant announcement came from Ion Hazzikostas, revealing via
Twitter that Warlords-style raiding will
implemented into the Siege of Orgrimmar Raid with Patch 6.0. This
will include Raid Finder, Normal, and Heroic difficulty all available
in Flex-scaling formats. Flexible difficulty will be renamed Normal,
currently Normal content becomes Heroic and currently Heroic content
becomes Mythic, which will only be available in 20 man format. In
other Expansion news, the maximum level of Battle Pets will remain at
25 and the anticipated item squish is confirmed to be implemented
with 6.0.
Both Hazzikostas and
PvP Desiger Brian Holinka were interviewed by a number of European
players this week, and revealed various details about what can be
expected in the upcoming Warlords Expansion. Highlights include
confirmation that the questing experience has been amended, with the
main story line in each zone shown on the UI to encourage
exploration. Outdoor max-level content is not based on daily questing
as was the case in the first few patches of Pandaria. Raid bosses
will continue to use a mix of well-known mechanics and innovation,
with the latest technology helping to create different and engaging
encounters. It was also reiterated that Blizzard intend to release
additional expansions after Warlords.
The Blizzard Store has
reopened this week for the sale of physical items, and has been
renamed as Blizzard Gear. The ongoing programme of Connected Realms
in the United States continues unabated, with two weeks worth of
realms announced to be merged during a maintenance window between 5am
to 1pm Pacific Standard Time starting this Thursday. There is also
confirmation of upcoming changes to the Battle.net desktop client,
including improvements to friends list management.
The Darkmoon Faire is
currently visiting Azeroth, and will remain until February 8th. Don't
forget that riding the Darkmoon Carousel with the appropriate ticket
will grant you the one hour, time-critical 'Wheeeeee' buff giving an
all-important 10% to both Reputation and Experience, perfect for all
of those attempting to complete those Bucket list achievements in
time for the new Expansion. The Love is in the Air Event begins
February 10th, and runs until February 24t.h.
And now, the scheduled
Battlegrounds News: Call to Arms Isle of Conquest continues until the
6th. Call to Arms, Arathi Basin runs from the 7th until the 10th, and
Call to Arms, Battle for Gilneas begins on the 11th.
And finally, Blizzard
took some time this week to clarify what exactly can or cannot be won
via boss fight bonus rolls in Pandaria. Bonus rolls do not work for
Garrosh heirloom weapons, or raid mounts inside Instances. However
Sha of Anger, Galleon, Nalak, and Oondasta mounts can be obtained
with a bonus roll, as can battle pets with the partial exception of
the Quivering Blob, which can only be won by using a bonus roll in
LFR difficulty.
That was Azeroth in 5
for the seven days up to Wednesday, February 5th, 2014.
Azeroth in 5 :: February 5th, 2014 CORRECTION
It has been bought to our attention that in the Podcast this week that we erroneously reported that the Warrior spells Charge and Warbringer have been altered on the PTR: although this was indeed the case the change was then reverted on February 3rd and replaced with a subsequent new plan to make Disrupting Shout and Pummel partially share a cooldown.
We would like to apologise for this confusion, and have amended the Transcript to include this corrected information.
