The first players in WoW Classic are craving for “new content”. But it is on the way and faster than expected. World bosses and the PvP system will arrive this year.
In World of Warcraft Classic, things are gradually becoming a bit calmer. Although there are still queues, the layering is slowly being removed. Now even the Game Director of World of Warcraft has revealed: Phase 2 of WoW Classic will start this year. This means “fresh” content in the coming months.
What exactly was said? In an interview with PCGamer, Hazzikostas talked about layering and when it should be completely abolished:
I think that is a matter of “later this year”, I believe we can definitely say that. [The exact point] Within this timeframe? It depends on several factors.
What factors are there? The most important point is the layering, which is still active on many realms. This technique basically creates multiple versions of a realm. As a result, not all players are bundled on one world and have more space for questing and farming resources. Gradually, these layers have been dismantled until realms have only “one layer” – they then become a normal server, as known from classic WoW (albeit with a higher capacity for players).
What is included in the various phases of WoW Classic, you can find out here.
Why does the layering have to go? Layering needs to disappear so that all players are truly in “one world”. This is necessary for certain content, such as the world bosses. These should only exist once per server. The fight for the world bosses was an important part of Classic, especially on PvP servers. Often, players would battle for the world bosses here. If there were two layers, players could simply split up, avoid conflict, or even kill the boss multiple times.
What is included in “Phase 2” of WoW Classic? The second phase of WoW Classic brings some “new” content, such as world bosses, dungeons, and finally organized PvP. This includes:
- World boss Azuregos in Azshara
- World boss Lord Kazzak in the Blasted Lands
- The dungeon Dire Maul with its 3 wings
- Mages can learn to conjure water (Rank 7) there
- Warriors and paladins can complete the quest for the epic sword Quel’Serrar
- Warlocks and paladins can get their epic mount there
- The PvP honor system in the open world
- Keyring to save inventory space
Please note that Phase 2 does not bring any battlegrounds. These will only come in Phase 3 of WoW Classic.
Are you excited for Phase 2 in WoW Classic? Are you looking forward to Dire Maul and PvP with a ranking system?
