Visitors to the public test server for Phase 3 of WoW: Burning Crusade Classic have noticed that the generated versions of Black Temple and Battle for Hyjal are offered there. Is this the way Blizzard wants it?
So far, Blizzard’s battle plan for WoW: Burning Crusade Classic has been reasonably clear (even if not always well communicated): The developers present Outland adventurers with the original raid bosses first, if possible, only to nerf them into the ground at some point – just like in the original Burning Crusade.
Tier 6 Raids on PTR
However, visitors to the public test server for Phase 3 of TBC Classic have made a remarkable discovery in the upcoming raid instances The Black Temple as well as Battle for Hyjal (via official WoW forum): Apparently Blizzard has offered the toned down versions of the bosses for testing there:
- The trash enemies from Hyjal dropped Heart of Darkness, for example, which was actually only implemented with Patch 2.2 at the time.
- Mother Sharaz’s Prismatic Aura is said to be the generated version, which would have a noticeable effect on boss strategy and difficulty.
- Also, the damage of Mother Sharaz’s Fatal Affair is not the same as the original version (1,000 damage per tick instead of 3,000).
- Archimonde has also been reported to have weakened versions of Fear, Soul Burden, and Stranglehold.
- And anyway, the raid DpS turns out to be so high that even an Illidan doesn’t even use abilities like Dark Barrage or his Eye Beam.
What does Blizzard say about it?
Community Manager Kaivax weighed in on the discussion over the weekend and confirmed players’ fears:
“To clarify, after the release of these raids in the original Burning Crusade, there were few adjustments made to them beyond minor tweaks and bug fixes. As a result, we will only be releasing one version of the raids in TBC Classic, and it will be the same as the version we have testing on the PTR. There will be no further customizations later on.”
In a second post, Kaivax added, “However, for the Sunwell Plateau from the last phase of TBC Classic, Blizzard plans to offer the pre-nerf and post-nerf versions of the bosses.
