WoW: Housing, Klassen, Balancing - Hotfixes vom 26. Februar
Die finalen Hotfixes vor dem Start von WoW Midnight fixen zum Ende noch einen ganzen Haufen von Bugs, den die Klassen derzeit haben.
In wenigen Stunden ist es soweit. In der Nacht von Donnerstag auf Freitag pünktlich um 0:00 Uhr startet der Early Access für WoW Midnight. Ab dem Moment stürzen sich die ersten Spieler in die neuen Gebiete und leveln die Nacht durch, um dann im Endgame ... eigentlich noch gar nichts tun zu können.
Kurz vor dem Start haben die Blizzard-Entwickler jetzt die wohl letzten Hotfixes der Ära The War Within rausgehauen. Damit der Übergang in den zweiten Teil der Weltenseele-Saga auch gut funktioniert. Darunter sind Balancing-Änderungen, die bereits vor einigen Tagen angekündigt wurden, aber auch diverse Hotfixes, die Fehler ausräumen.
Spieler, die sich die neue Diablo-Erweiterung gekauft haben, dürfen nun weitere Kopien der Promo-Items kaufen und ein Icon für den Diminishing-Return in der Arena wurde angepasst. Abseits dessen stehen vor allem die Klassen im Vordergrund.
Neun der 13 Klassen bekommen kleinere oder größere Fixes. Die meisten davon sind Kleinigkeiten - die allerdings Einfluss auf die Performance der Spielweise hatten. Daher ist es klar, dass die Entwickler diese noch vor dem Start der neuen Erweiterung ausräumen wollen.
