Blizzard je imao pune ruke posla posle dugog zatišja da odgovori na dosta tema u vezi Wrath of the Lich King. Zato danas puštamo 3 vesti o WotLK Beta Blue temama.
Kolko još Beta Buld-a nas čeka do WotLK?
As of this post, we're working on 8977. You guys are playing 8970. (src)
Players/Pets health buff
We improved base health of players at higher levels. We're also going to improve pet's health to match it. (src)
Wrath Gate CG Movie
Cinematic is MIA in this build. I'm trying to track down what happened. (src)
Lake Wintergrasp Cooldown
In the next beta build the reset/cooldown is set to 2.5 hours. (src)
"Pet klase su sada veliki dizajnerski izazov"
When the pet does 30-40% of your damage, and dies, you lose a chunk of damage that isn't comparable to any other dps loss by a class in the game. The alternatives aren't very appealing either -- the brick that can't be killed and does no damage, or the frail being that dishes out massive damage before collapsing when looked at. It's even worse when "pet" is a spec, as it is for locks and hunters, because then either the pet is disposable for the other specs, or it's OP for the pet spec. I can't offer any great insight into how we're going to tackle the problem, but it does keep me up at night sometimes. (src)
WotLK Itemization
We do want to revisit how we do stat allocations and avoid penalizing either specs that need a lot of different stats or those who don't need many. Both feel put upon from time to time. But that's a pretty major change, so in the short-term, we want Armored to the Teeth to solve the problem. If the number isn't significant enough yet, we can change it. Feel free to throw out numbers so we can get a feel for the discrepancy we're talking about.
The root of the problem is that especially in a PvE setting, armor doesn't do anything for a dps warrior. It doesn't really keep you alive much longer anyway and if things go right, you won't often be attacked in the first place. We have a similar problem with healers too -- priests can only use cloth, while paladins can use any kind of healing armor that drops. The mean way to solve it is to say that plate wearers can't wear cloth, leather or mail, but I think there are other ways to solve it too.
Gear is a really touchy subject, because ultimately every class and spec wants gear that is completely optimized for their character and to some extent the game is dependent on you always wanting better gear. (src)
Još trenirajućih lutaka u glavnim gradovima.
We'll be adding more dummies of different levels in all major cities. (src)
Death Knight Mount Model biće ažuriran u sledećem Buld-u
Updated model coming in the next build. (src)
Grand Caravan Mammoth moći će da se koristi u sledećem Build-u
The mammoth will be operational in the next build. (src)
Armory Snowy Gryphon moći će da lete u sledećem Build-u
Fixed in the next build. (src)
Armored Brown Bear cena neće da se menja
The brown bear will probably stay priced how it is in Beta. (src)
Low level quest tracking
Yes, low level quest tracking is in the game. Just click on the little magnifying glass on your mini-map and select the low level quest option. (src)
Avoidance i Combat Update
Everything on the server as it relates to combat ratings, critical hits, avoidance diminishing returns, etc. should now be working properly. I'm looking forward to feedback from the community about the changes, and especially any hard data from combat logs. I'll try to help with information as possible but we're very busy right now. Compressing all the information from various code and data sources into a coherent, readable post takes time that I and others need to spend on other things right now. I also have faith in the community's ability to construct an accurate model of it from empirical data. (src)
Hippogryph Mounts dobiće više boja u skorije vreme
We'll add more over time. (src)
Tigole o Tabard Storage
We don't have any immediate plans for a Tabard UI but something to consider is that the Tabard vendor in Dalaran sells most of the tabards for very cheap. There really is no reason to hang on to them unless you're wearing them. Also, the Tabard vendor there will replace certain quest Tabards (such as the Tabard of the Illidari) if you destroy it. (src)
Mallet of Zul'Farrak i Goblin Transponder
We have plans for these items (and getting them out of your bags). Unfortunately, we won't be able to get to it in time for Wrath of the Lich King, but we do want to eventually address how these work. (src)
