我们密切关注玩家们的表现。对于纳克萨玛斯和永恒之眼,我们尽量满足玩家们的要求,聆听玩家们的呼声。这就是为什么纳克萨玛斯相比玛里苟斯,难度提升了很多,但最后也得到了一点削弱。我们知道永远都不存在让所有人满意的答案,我们无法满足所有玩家的胃口,但我们一直希望找到平衡点,既让PVE玩家感觉到挑战性,又让休闲玩家可以参与其中。T7内容怎么的很难抉择。BOSS只有一个版本,每个玩家都能够得到装备显得不切实际。但是接下来的版本,此情况将得到改善。

 

1奥达尔难度

一句话——增加奥杜尔BOSS难度对于顶尖的PVE玩家来说并不难,因为它不影响正常游戏体验。如果有必要,我们可以增加困难模式的难度,但正常模式将保持不变。奥杜尔是一个十分考验团队合作与技术的副本:即使装备毕业,也十分的困难。我们这么做的目的是调节副本难度,让每个群体都能找到合适的难度。专业PVE玩家将挑战困难模式,而休闲玩家或一般玩家将可以选择普通模式。

 

2、Boss MODS

我们不会公布关于奥杜尔的每一个改动。我现在可以告诉大家,我们将有我们自己的BOSS MODS(DBM),将会有大量的针对boss的改动。该MODs会在3.1版本推出。

 

3以前的内容

永恒之眼将恢复到原暴雪标准,如黑曜石圣殿。纳克萨玛斯会一如既往。考虑到纳克萨玛斯已经增强,我们已经决定,把黑色始祖幼龙的缰绳作为25人团队的荣耀奖励。

 

4、巫妖王之怒

我们已经被问过很多次了,所以我决定在这里谈论它。这是关于什么的?是不是要NAXX的10/25人成就才能进入奥杜尔10/25人?答案是NO。奥杜尔不需要任何成就就可以进去。对于纳克萨玛斯我们已经决定不引进这一制度。

 

5、奥杜尔开放测试

奥杜尔已经开发完毕。我们将开启测试服,挑选玩家来测试。测试服默认关闭,一周开放两个晚上(GMT + 2)。每个参加测试的公会在测试期间都会有一个GM在场。愿意协助测试的工会可以向 Graa。开放测试的日期将在接下来的几天内公布,所有的信息都可以在论坛中公布。

 

6、奥杜尔 和 狂怒角斗士

2018年5月2日我们将公开具体的内容预告。 再次之前,我们只会发布一些有关奥杜尔的简短介绍。

现在我们能说的是,奥杜尔和狂怒角斗士要比当前版本持续更长时间。我们认为将会有6个月左右的版本持续时间,所以我们将在2018年 十一月/十二月 推出下一个版本。


原文:

We're carefully observing the players' doings during the active content. With both Naxxramas and Eye of Eternity releases we have tried to satisfy all the players and we've often took your needs into consideration. That's why we have decided for Naxxramas to be harder than the original one - or Malygos that was boosted a lot, but finally was nerfed a bit. We know that we'll never find the golden mean and won't satisfy everyone with our changes, but we have always wanted for each encounter to be difficult, but attractive to both hardcore raiders and possible for more casual guilds. It was really hard with Tier 7 content. The bosses had only one version and it was not possible to make the boost perfect for everybody. The situation is getting better at each next content, where we have Heroic versions (in case of ToGC and ICC) and Hard Mode bosses (Ulduar).

1. Ulduar Difficulty

Summarizing the last sentence - increasing boss' difficulty for hardcore PvE players is way easier on Ulduar, because it doesn't affect the "normal" gameplay. We can boost Hard Modes if proven necessary, but the whole encounter in its normal version will stay unmodified. Ulduar is quite difficult raid tech-wise, it's a success to have it scripted properly: then, it'll be a challenge even without boosts. The goal of this content is satisfaction of all groups of raiders that'll find their best difficulty. Hardcore raiders will have challenging Hard Mode bosses, more casual players will face completely working Normal version encounters with values of the first weeks of Ulduar on retail. These are the final terms regarding Ulduar boost:

Ulduar 10

Ulduar 10-Man is going to be pre-nerf*. No custom changes whatsoever, the same goes for 10-Man Hard Modes.

Ulduar 25 Normal

Just like 10-Man, Ulduar 25-Man is going to be pre-nerf. No changes in mechanics or timers whatsoever, everything is in pre-nerf state. Some encounters, such as Razorscale, will have their HP boosted accordingly, because some bosses didn't have pre-nerf state. Value of HP boost for bosses without pre-nerf state will be analogical to difference between other bosses' pre-nerf and post-nerf state.

Example to make it more clear:

IGNIS THE FURNACE MASTER (has pre-nerf version):

Post-nerf 25 - 19,5m HP

Post nerf version has 25,12% HP less than pre-nerf.

Pre-nerf version 25 - 24,4m HP

RAZORSCALE

Post-nerf 25 - 12,6m HP

Boost: 25% HP value (just like Ignis) - 15,75m HP.

Pre-nerf version 25 - none.

Not every boss is going to have his HP increased that way. 

Ulduar 25 Hard Mode

Hard Mode encounters are going to be pre-nerf. Some bosses will have their HP boosted or timers reduced, however we will not change the mechanics. 

*Pre-nerf; we should tell you something more it. Pre-nerf values are the values which were implemented by Blizzard and were either pushed to live servers or PTR, but were changed after time (most of them were nerfs). We have a lot of sources regarding these values and we want to use a lot of them to re-create Ulduar.

2. Deadly Boss Mods

It's most likely that we won't announce every change to Ulduar. I can tell you now that we will create our own version of Deadly Boss Mods (DBM) which will contain all changes made by us. The addon will be available for download before 3.1 content launch.

3. Previous content 

Eye of Eternity will be reverted back to blizzlike state, such as Obsidian Sanctum. Naxxramas is going to stay as it is. Considering Naxxramas being boosted, we've decided that Reins of the Black Proto-Drake as a reward for Glory of the Raider (25 player) is going to be available at the next content.

4. Wrath of the Lich King Attunements

We have been asked about this a lot of times - so often that I've decided to talk about it here. What's this about? A lot of you asked if it's needed to complete Naxxramas 10/25 in order to enter Ulduar 10/25. In short: do you need achievement for Kel'thuzad 10/25 in order to enter Ulduar 10/25? The answer is NO. You don't need to have any achievement in order to access Ulduar. The attunements would make more sense if we wouldn't buff raids, but with some big changes to Naxxramas (and the fact the boost stays) we have decided not to introduce this system.

5. Ulduar Open Beta Tests

When we finish works on Ulduar, we obviously want to test it through and through, counting crash tests and open tests. We'll open third realm with characters copied from Angrathar and guilds that apply to test Ulduar (test it to help us, not to help their progress) will have access to the Test Realm. The Test Realm will be closed by default and will be open two times a week at evenings (GMT+2). Every guild with access to the tests will have a Game Master present during tests. We'll add vendors with BiS items from 3.0 content. Guilds that are eager to help us can apply to Graal. The date of open tests will be announced in the following days/weeks and all the info will be available on forum and Discord.

6. Ulduar & Furious Gladiator release date

The exact date of new content's release is going to be announced in the promo material (trailer) which we will show you at May 2nd, 2018. Before the promo, we'll post some short presentations regarding changes to Ulduar encounters.

All we can say now is that Ulduar and Furious Gladiator are going to be longer than the current content. We think it's going to be around 6 months, so Call of the Crusade season would be launched in November/December of 2018.
