Recently, Blizzard announced that it will launch a series of new servers for the classic World of Warcraft server. These new servers are called Season of Mastery. Players need to create new characters after joining these servers, but at the same time, these servers will also have faster upgrade speeds and more difficult replica Boss challenges.
In the official detailed introduction article, Blizzard explained that players in these servers will gain experience points from missions, so upgrades will be faster. At the same time, there will be some improvements to the game experience. For example, the gathering stones at the entrance of all dungeons will be turned into summoning stones. These improvements are designed to help players reduce the burden.
Blizzard also said that in order to cope with the increasing number of players on the classic nostalgic service, the refreshing locations of mining and herbs will be more intensive than the original game. The biggest change is that the update of the copy will be more frequent, and the boss will be more difficult.
The late-game copy of the original World of Warcraft classic nostalgic server is divided into six stages, in order to simulate the game’s launch progress in 2004, Blizzard released all the content within two years. On the Master Season server, Blizzard plans to speed up the release of all content within a year, which is also the reason for speeding up the upgrade.
Blizzard said that they have found that the old version of Boss is no longer challenging for current players, which is why they chose to increase the difficulty of the challenge. In the Season of Mastery server, the dungeon Boss will be restored to its original form before weakening in order to reduce the difficulty. At the same time, the world buff will no longer take effect in the dungeon, and the boss will also have more health. Blizzard said that all of this is to provide players with more satisfying challenges.
At present, the exact launch time of the Master Season server has not been announced, but Blizzard said it will launch an open Beta test on October 5 to experiment with these changes.
