Season of Discovery: primi nerf all’incursione Scarlet Enclave

wow classic scarlet enclave

L’otto aprile è iniziata la fase 8 della Season of Discovery e dal 10 aprile è aperta la nuova ed originale incursione Scarlet Enclave.

A sorpresa l’incursione si è rivelata più difficile del previsto tanto da non essere completata entro le prime 24 ore dall’uscita da nessuna gilda. Una vera novità per quanto riguarda il mondo di WoW Classic.

La community si è subito domandata se l’incursione fosse davvero troppo difficile ed è intervenuto nella discussione Josh Greenfield, il Senior Game Producer di WoW Classic su Bluesky.

Josh Greenfield ha affermato dopo aver letto i feedback, che sono stati approntati subito degli interventi per i boss Balnazzar e High Commander Beatrix ed ha chiarito che questa incursione non era stata testata nel PTR dai giocatori e quindi un’ulteriore aumento di livello di difficoltà è dettato, per i giocatori, dall’imparare le meccaniche dal vivo.

Greenfield ha precisato che l’equipaggiamento che si ottiene da questa incursione è nettamente più potente rispetto alle incursioni precedenti. Una volta che i giocatori cominceranno ad ottenere alcuni oggetti la difficoltà dell’incursione si abbasserà di conseguenza (tale meccanica per i giocatori di retail è la norma ma in WoW Classic non è mai stata così sentita).

Dopo queste affermazioni sono usciti, il giorno successivo, degli hotfix specifici per Season of Discovery, dove alcuni correggono dei semplici bug ma i restanti sono dei veri proprio nerf all’incursione Scarlet Enclave, sintomo che magari qualche test in più fosse magari necessario.

Vi lasciamo con l’intervento di Josh Greenfield e al bluepost con gli hotfix.

Watching a lot of the back and forth about the raid being too hard and there's a few key things here to consider (in thread below). Before I dive into that though we agree that boss 1 and 2 are likely a bit too hard and have already made some adjustments to make them more manageable.Now, consider:

Season of Discovery

Fixed an issue that caused Solistrasza’s “Radiant Light” to erroneously display.

Fizzlefuse will now sell ammunition to players right away.

Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the quest “Loss” in Eastern Plaguelands to stall.

World Buff consumables now cost 5 Commendations each (was 25).

Fixed an issue causing the locked doors in New Avalon to not be able to be opened when players are wearing the Scarlet Disguise and have the Scarlet Key in their inventory.

Consumable Tinkerboxes can now be activated while Shapeshifted.

Classes

Priest

Vampiric Embrace will now heal the priest for twice as much as they heal others.

Vampiric Embrace in Season of Discovery can no longer roll a critical result.

Rogue

The Tank Rogue Tier-2.5 2-piece bonus will no longer sometimes prevent Blade Flurry from activating. Strikes of the Sinister now has a lower priority than Blade Flurry.

Karazhan Crypts

The Burning Webs from the Creeping Malison encounter in Karazhan Crypts will no longer hit players in Kharon’s room after the encounter is completed.

Naxxramas

The Unholy Weapon enemies in Naxxramas will no longer gain twice the % damage increase from Authority of the Frozen Wastes.

Scarlet Enclave

Health values for non-boss enemies have been significantly reduced across the entire raid.

The locations of the Mage Tower and Guard Tower lieutenants before the Beatrix encounter now spawn at the base of their towers.

Removed some of the Artillery enemies around the Blacksmith.

Beatrix

The utility, healing, and disruption spells used by Beatrix’s troops have either been cut or reduced in effectiveness. Affected spells include Concussion Shot, Disarm, Shield Slam stun, and Polymorph.

Beatrix’s health reduced by 5%.

Adjusted the timing and overlap of her Class Call spells. For example, there are now 4 waves of Scarlet Infantry during Scarlet Phalanx (was 6), 4 waves of Scarlet Cavalry during Thundering Hooves (was 5), and slightly less overlap between Mortar Combat from the Artillery into the Meteor from Scarlet Mages.

Adjusted the Out of Bounds triggers that could result in a Scarlet Phalanx (Infantry Class Call) gap forcing players to walk out of bounds and take unnecessary damage.

Caldoran

Fixed an issue that could result in Caldoran becoming stuck if players entered the Radiant Portal after resurrecting.

Solistrasza

Fixed an issue that caused “Aberrant Bloat” to have no spell icon.
