le PTR 8.2 devrait arriver très rapidement donc ce post est une bonne idée
D’ailleurs, le premier build à été mis en ligne cette nuit mais il est encore crypté et n’est pas « dataminable »
Selon wowhead, c’est une affaire de 24h à une semaine.
Autre chose Ion à été interviewé par Polygon et parmi les infos
- Confirmation que l’on pourra voler à Mechagon et Nazjatar
- Confirmation que l’azerite ne sera plus requis pour debloquer les traits d’Azerite. ils seront tous debloqué quand on obtient un item et l’azerite ne fera plus que leveler le coeur d’azeroth
- Sinon coté histoire :
Battle for Azeroth has struggled to find a similar role for the player character. The Alliance has largely served as a foil for the Horde. The Horde, on the other hand, are dealing with a deep division. Horde players who do not agree with Sylvanas were given the option to choose a route of defying her … but this comes after they were made complicit in genocide. It’s not the burning of Darnassus that motivated them, but the follow-up decisions by Sylvanas.
When I ask Hazzikostas about the developer’s intent on putting this on Horde players, and if they think it can go too far, he briefly hesitates.
“It’s a heavy responsibility, and it’s not one that anyone on the team takes lightly,” he says. “Our aim in storytelling is always to evoke emotion. If that goes too far, it can feel exploitative, it can feel like players are caught in a situation they don’t want to be in. We want people to stick around, to play with their friends, and to see the end of the story we’re telling.”
For players, they’ve spent months dealing with the burden of Darnassus. For characters like Tauren druids, or Blood Elf paladins, this can feel like an overwhelming loss of agency. Many Horde players are also concerned because a similar tale played out two expansions ago in Mists of Pandaria , with Garrosh Hellscream. For these players, the second corrupt Warchief in under five years might suggest that the Horde they have been playing under for a decade or more is broken, and not worth defending.
Hazzikostas is aware of the parallels to Garrosh’s story, and he says that the Horde is too.
“There are a couple of references here and there,” he says. “There are more coming. Members of the Horde leadership will remember going down dark paths before.”
He also notes that Garrosh’s motives were different; they were an attempt to restore a lost vision of the Horde at the expense of everything else. Sylvanas’ goals are still unclear, but Hazzikostas notes, “There will not be a trial where she is in chains. Sylvanas is not a character who would find herself in that situation … ever.”
As for player choice, more decisions will come in the future. “It won’t be something we do lightly,” he says. “We do it when the story makes sense, and we do it when there are real consequences and real follow through.”
The team intends to avoid “false” choices, or the illusion of a branching narrative. Hazzikostas also hints at an interesting possibility for the Alliance’s future narrative: “In this case, it felt right for the Horde. Alliance don’t have that same division in their ranks just yet, and there isn’t that same natural point of choice.”
Je retiens surtout :
Alliance don’t have that same division in their ranks just yet
Donc un conflit interne à l’Alliance pourrait se profiler? (Tyrande et Anduin probablement)
There will not be a trial where she is in chains.
Pas sur de bien saisir. Est ce qu’il veut dire que Sylvanas va finir enchainer? Ou il evoque simplement la possibilité
