Blizzard has revealed, via oficial fórum, that it will be implementing some big changes in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, through patch 9.1.5. The studio will soon update the test servers with some of these changes, but is not yet ready to commit to a release in the public servers.To get more news about buy wow classic tbc gold, you can visit lootwowgold official website.
Many of the changes are the result of repeated player feedback, and include an option to skip the initial Maw sequence on secondary characters, the possibility for players to switch Covenants without any penalty, and the complete removal of the Conduits energy system.
With the number of players drastically decreasing in recent months, according to several websites linked to World of Warcraft, it remains to be seen whether these measures will be enough to attract part of those players who left.
Not outlined in Blizzard's official statements is the news, via PC Gamer, that the patch will see the removal of references to former Blizzard developers Jesse McCree, Luis Barriga, and Jon LeCraft, all of who have recently departed Blizzard following allegations in a state of California lawsuit accusing Blizzard of fostering a culture of harassment and discrimination towards women. The Overwatch character sharing McCree's name will also be changed in the future, and Blizzard has already removed references in WoW to former game director Alex Afrasiabi. Blizzard did outline in its development update that the patch will bring better visibility in terms of in-game reporting alongside more serious penalties for those who break the game's code of conduct. A public test realm for 9.1.5 where players will be able to see all the changes first hand is set to release later this week.
The upcoming changes almost sound too good to be true for much of the community, and may be too little, too late for some. More than a few of WoW's biggest content creators and streamers have recently stepped away from the game, at least in part thanks to Blizzard's lack of communication with the community, while others have left following news of the lawsuit's allegations. Those content creators who haven't quit the game entirely have at the very least diversified their content to include rival MMOs like Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIV or Amazon's upcoming New World.
