    Wow Season of Discovery: Phase 4 — What’s Up with World Buffs?

    Josh Greenfield, aka Aggrend, our trusty WoW Classic Senior Game Producer, has dropped some hints that might make you rethink your raid strategies. Currently, on the Classic Era PTR, those juicy World Buffs we all love? Yeah, they’re on a break.

    Wow Season of Discovery: Phase 4 — Why No Buffs?

    Aggrend explains that the team is eager to see how classes stack up without the buffs. It’s all about that baseline performance, folks! He mentions, “It was a deliberate choice to not include world buffs in these first few weeks of PTR. We want to see you play without that extra oomph because once those buffs are back, nobody’s going to want to test without them.”

    DetailExplanation
    World Buffs StatusNot available initially
    ReasonTo assess baseline class performance without buffs
    Expected DurationA few weeks; buffs will be reintroduced later
    Impact on TestingEnsures data is collected without buffs influencing outcomes

    Wow Season of Discovery: Phase 4 — Surprise Extension?

    With Greenfield hinting at a “few weeks” without buffs, this could mean the PTR phase may extend longer than we anticipated. This delay could tweak the release schedule for Phase 4 but hey, that might just mean smoother sailing with fewer bugs when it does roll out!

    Wow Season of Discovery: Phase 4 — Onyxia’s Lair Alert!

    Get this, raiders: Onyxia’s Lair is confirmed to hit the deck as one of the first level 60 raids in Phase 4. Get your game faces on!

    Conclusion

    While the absence of world buffs might seem like a drag for those of us who relish that extra edge, it’s a strategic move to refine the core gameplay dynamics.

    Will this extra time in the testing realm translate to a smoother and more robust Season of Discovery? That remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure: it shows a commitment to quality and player satisfaction that could very well redefine our adventures in Azeroth.
