Patch 5.3 – Eskalation: Erste Daten vom Testserver ³

Patch 5

Nachdem von den Entwicklern bereits vor einigen Tagen vorläufige Patchnotes zu Patch 5.3 veröffentlicht wurden, haben unsere Kollegen von mmo-champion mittlerweile erste Daten zum kommenden Update entschlüsselt und einige recht interessante Dinge gefunden. Derzeit sind die Testserver offline, sodass man davon ausgehen kann, dass dieses Update bald aufgespielt wird.

Allgemeine Informationen:

Natürlich wird der kommende Patch 5.3 wieder eine Reihe von neuen Gegenständen, Reittieren, Haustiere und Erfolge beinhalten. Während hier nur die interessantesten dieser neuen Items aufgelistet sind, findet ihr die komplette Liste unter diesem Link.

  • In den Spieldaten wurde ein Reittier mit dem Namen “Faerie Dragon Faerie Dragon” gefunden. Bisher gibt es keine Feendrachen als Reittiere in WoW und eine Implementierung wäre schon recht interessant.

fDragon

  • Scissors Scissors: Scheinbar wird es ein Schwert für die Transmogrifikation geben, welches gewisse Ähnlichkeiten mit einer Schere aufweist.
  • Mit Raiding with Leashes II: Attunement Edition (New) findet ein weiterer Erfolg seinen Weg in das Spiel, welcher von euch verlangt, dass ihr neue Haustiere aus alten Raids sammeln sollt. Dieses Mal wird es wieder 10 neue Haustiere geben, die quer über alle Raids aus TBC verteilt sind. Darunter befindet sich beispielsweise Spiky Collar Spiky Collar (Böser Wolf aus dem Theaterevent in Kara) oder auch Tainted Core Tainted Core (Hydross in SSC). Als Belohnung winkt dann Tito's Basket Tito’s Basket (Hund vom Theaterevent in Kara).
  • Der Zusatztitel des Patches lautet “Eskalation” und es wird wahrscheinlich darauf hinauslaufen, dass die Dunkelspeertrolle eine Rebellion gegen Garrosh durchführen. Zumindest gibt es folgenden Erfolg “Darkspear Rebellion (New)“
  • Es wird ein Erfolg für 200 Reittiere eingeführt, welcher euch mit  Armored Dragonhawk Armored Dragonhawk belohnt. Mount Parade (New)
  • Es gibt eine Reihe von neuen Erfolgen, die ihr erhalten könnt, indem ihr Haustierkämpfe gegen andere Spieler gewinnt.
  • Es wurde ein Erfolg für das Erhalten der dritten Spezialisierung eingeführt: Learn a Third Talent Specialization

Neue Soundfiles:

Zusätzlich dazu gibt es wieder einmal einige neue Soundfiles, die einige neue Informationen zu der Hintergrundgeschichte in diesem Update verraten. Ihr solltet diesen Teil überspringen und nicht auf die Links klicken, sofern ihr diese Spoiler nicht erfahren wollt.

  • Die Trolle, Tauren und Blutelfen werden sich vermutlich mit der Allianz verbünden, um OG einzunehmen.
  • Die Trolle, Tauren und Blutelfen greifen über das Land an, während die Allianz über den Seeweg kommt.
  • Thrall unterstützt Vol´jin nicht direkt, sondern geht versteckt nach OG und sucht dort nach Orcs, die nicht hinter Garrosh stehen (Saurfang).
  • Thralls Kind ist ein Junge!
  • Die Zandalari überreden die Trolle der Frostmähnen dazu, gegen Eisenschmiede zu ziehen. Varian und sein Champion verbünden sich mit Dunkeleisenzwergen, um der Stadt zu helfen. Die Clans der Zwerge werden sich vereinen und die Allianz mit voller Kraft unterstützen.
  • Der schwarze Prinz Wrathion ist erblindet und verletzt, sodass er die Hilfe der 4 himmlischen Erhabenen braucht, um sich zu heilen. Der Champion und Anduin müssen ihn dabei unterstützen und eine von vier unterschiedlichen Prüfungen bestehen (legendäre Quesreihe mit Auswahl?).
  • Scheinbar treffen wir auf Emperor Shaohao. Dies war der letzte Kaiser der Pandaren, welcher vor 10000 Jahren gelebt hat. Der siebte Sha ist der des Stolzes und er befindet sich immer noch im Kaiser der Pandaren. Er beschreibt den Stolz als stärksten Sha von allen, der sogar stärker ist als die restlichen 6 Sha zusammengenommen.
