Hello everyone, this is World of Warcraft Weekly.

[World of Warcraft Weekly Report] is mainly composed of three parts: "Major World of Warcraft Events", "World of Warcraft Competitive Dynamics" and "World of Warcraft Game Updates".

Let’s take a look at what Warcraft news there is that is worth sharing recently!

【World of Warcraft Event】

The Chinese server is only one day late? World of Warcraft 11.0 is scheduled to be released on July 30

Despite the joint efforts of Blizzard and NetEase, the "Glory Echoes" event on the eve of World of Warcraft official server 11.0 was finally scheduled for July 30. Foreign servers will start pre-download services on July 23, but these events will not be loaded in advance.

Considering that the official Chinese server will be launched on August 1, Chinese server players will only enter the Echoes of Glory world quest one day later, so there is almost no difference.

The opening of the pre-launch period is undoubtedly good news for novice players, because they can complete tasks to upgrade faster and catch up with the level and equipment level of veteran players.

888 gift pack is really here! NetEase confirms to send 2 official server super helicopters

On July 10, NetEase officially brought back the paid gift packages for the old servers. Among them, the monthly card price increase that players are concerned about has been confirmed. The price of the Chinese server will not be raised and will remain at 75 yuan per month. However, the various paid gift packages exclusive to the Chinese server have still caused a lot of controversy.

From the perspective of paid content, there are no extra rewards for monthly card players. Quarterly card players get an extra New Year mount for the nostalgic server. Half-year card players unlock New Year mounts for both the nostalgic server and the official server, and get an extra New Year pet for the nostalgic server. Annual card players get the Nightmare Emerald Dragon and Grubb for the nostalgic server; and Kunbolben, Shining Moon Beast, and Mysterious Wave Raider for the official server.

These are considered the basic operations of paid activities, and there is not much controversy. After all, similar gift packs are sold on the international server from time to time.

But what players didn’t expect was that NetEase launched an 888-year card gift pack exclusive to the Chinese server!

In addition to an annual pass and a set of skins, this package also includes a super upgrade worth 328 yuan for the classic server and two character upgrades to level 70 for the official server. The upgrade has been officially confirmed and will include a full set of 424 equipment, four 30-slot backpacks, a 26-slot material pack, five dragon taming mounts, unlocking all flight points in the Dragon Islands, a reputation upgrade for the "Dragon Age" faction, additional Dragon Islands supplies, and more.

Many players of the official server said that they were once again disgusted by the content of this incredible gift package: "The nostalgic server is fine, but the official server is not bad. The mount +1 is not bad, and the direct upgrade is just to fool the newbies", "In the current environment of consumption downgrade, the monthly card price is not increased, which is a disguised price increase. When the news of the annual card gift package came out last night, there was no discount at all", "I wanted to buy it, but I don’t play the nostalgic server. Seeing those anchors are pushing it, I feel sick immediately"...

Compared to the 213 graduation outfit in the nostalgic server, it is obvious that this official server super helicopter has shrunk a bit.

Apart from reputation, which is somewhat useful, other things can actually be easily obtained on the eve of 11.0, especially the equipment level. You can get a set of 480 equipment by completing world quests.

In addition, during the previous official live broadcast, the official also revealed that there will be a "War to the Core" collector's pack that allows players to play the new version + super upgrade 3 days in advance. Players who want to play the official server but are not very interested in the nostalgic server can wait. There is no need to buy this 888 gift pack with average cost-effectiveness.

11-year-old studio runs away overnight? NetEase's crackdown is quite effective

Before the Super Helicopter Pack came out, a studio called "Da She Handcrafted Leveling" sold a handcrafted leveling 210 equipment level pack for 1688 yuan to catch up with Ulduar. But because NetEase later launched the Super Helicopter Pack for 298 yuan, the studio immediately became a clown that everyone wanted to beat, and the orders were getting worse day by day.

Recently, some players discovered that this old Taobao certified studio for 11 years has become honest and stated that it will no longer do World of Warcraft related leveling business.

As for the future development direction? The studio host said frankly that they might go to a team in Guangzhou to continue to work on World of Warcraft related business.

This statement quickly sparked speculation from players from all sides. Many people thought that this veteran studio might have been recruited by NetEase and became a member of the anti-cheating team. After all, only the studio knows the studio best.

【World of Warcraft Competitive Dynamics】

Not fun? The second beta of the new MMO game "Kunfar" with the largest map in history has a bad reputation

On July 10, the second test of "Kunfar", an MMO online game with a huge map of more than 21.6 million square kilometers and a highly free gameplay, was launched.

Although the map of this game is really huge, it has been criticized by many players for its poor action feedback in combat, boring and tedious construction system, and ultra-long-distance business trading gameplay, and they believe that this game is pure "commercial fraud."

First of all, although this game is built with the Unreal 5 engine, the character models, action design, and monster AI are obviously pieced together. The actual sense of impact and visual effects may not even be comparable to "Legend".

Secondly, because the game map is so large, most of the time is spent on running around the map. If you are unwilling to accept the slow journey, you have to pay the system an expensive transmission fee to achieve quick movement between two places.

What can I say? People who don’t have patience really can’t play this game.

Finally, the construction aspect of the game is also very slow. Players often need to travel across half the continent to collect certain materials to build settlements, which makes the game very unpleasant.

Of course, if this game is really popular, it can realize an economic cycle where rich players spend money to hire civilians to collect supplies from all over the world. But the problem is, which rich player would like an online game that can't even do the most basic sense of attack?

Another skin-changing legend! The new MMO game "Hope of Power" developed by Destiny Ark is launched

On July 12, the new MMORPG three-terminal online game "Road Nine" created by the original team of Smile Gate, the developer of Destiny Ark, has started public testing. Although the game claims to have more than 60 character professions and 54 ability trainings, and players can freely switch between nine special weapons for combat, it will try to minimize the pressure of user charges in the business model.

But in fact, this is yet another skin-changing legend, with automatic path finding, automatic monster killing, pet training, character gold card extraction, and everything else.

The only difference from traditional Korean games is that "Hope of Power" strictly limits the items that players can trade. You need to reach a certain level to enable the trading function. Some items also have specific restrictions, so it is quite suitable for brick-moving players.

Guild Wars 2: New plot of the Wilds of Jance reveals the origins of the lowland Kodan

On July 11, the official "Guild Wars 2" revealed to players the mystery of the life experience of the protagonist of the new expansion pack - the bear-man lowland Kodan.

The Lowland Kodan have called Janthir home for generations. Despite the region's extreme dangers and inhospitable conditions, they are experts at survival, carving out a comfortable, even hospitable way of life in the land. All Lowlanders are capable fighters, learning survival tactics from the time they are young.

Unlike the northern kodan that players are familiar with, lowland kodan worship the environment and their relationship to it, and consider themselves responsible for stewardship of the land. Unlike other kodan, who consider themselves the chosen revelatory protectors of the kodan, lowlanders act out of obligation to maintain a necessary balance in the harsh land of Janthir, where taking is easier than giving and survival is harder.

In short, this wilder bear tribe will become the player's guide to go deep into the wilds of Jense, teaching the player various wilderness survival skills, which is quite like Bear Grylls.

【World of Warcraft Game Update】

Are you bored? World of Warcraft's Exploration Server changes the wind sword model

After the launch of P4 of the Exploration Season, many players discovered that the preview model of the Wind Sword was secretly reduced by Blizzard designers, losing its previous cool and domineering feeling. Therefore, the US server trolls launched a massive campaign to defend the Wind Sword model on the forum, demanding that the Great Wind Sword be retained in the Exploration Season.

To be honest, we don't know what's going on with Blizzard designers. Why did they have to cut the classic weapon, the Wind Sword? Isn't this asking for trouble? I guess this model will be secretly changed back in a few days. Why bother?

Blizzard put down their arrogance! World Quest rotation has been cancelled

The world quest mechanism that has been criticized by players for many years is finally coming to an end in 11.0! On July 10, Blizzard announced the changes to the new version of the world quest. Players can freely choose two of the six world activities to complete in order to obtain the guaranteed weekly item rewards, instead of having to complete specific rotating tasks every week to obtain rewards.

At the same time, players will definitely be able to open adventurer equipment in the first two boxes each week on the eve of the pre-season. After the start of the first season, these equipment will be upgraded to veteran equipment.

In other words, players can arrange their game time more flexibly in version 11.0. If they are busy, they can choose a few easy world quests to complete and easily obtain the threshold equipment for entering the dungeon.
