Role players have received one of the best changes of all time in World of Warcraft Patch 10.0.5. They now have the whole world open to them.
In World of Warcraft, there are quite a few different groups that focus on different game content. While fans of PvE group activities are mostly looking forward to new dungeons or raids, PvP fans are excited about arenas and fresh battlegrounds. Although role players are just a small splinter group, they often feel a bit neglected. However, Patch 10.0.5 has now made a change that is likely to take role-playing to a new level for many adventure fans.
Tents have been changed, now allow for perfect use
With Dragonflight, the developers introduced countless toys into the game. In particular, a toy for changing weather effects has provided role players with many new options. Also new were 3 tents in different designs:
- Expedition tent of the Dragonshrine Expedition
- Gnoll tent
- Market tent
The tents can be set up outside caves and buildings, providing a good opportunity for “camp RP” or simply enjoying an adventure trip with a campsite. But there were a number of problems because, as is often the case in World of Warcraft, toys have massive restrictions that make them useless for use in RP. These were:
- Tents lasted only 5 minutes, while the toy had a 10-minute cooldown.
- Tents had a random orientation, meaning they were placed differently each time.
This made the tents unwieldy and impractical. RP often consists of many lines of typed text, and if you have to set up a tent every few minutes, it is hardly possible.
What has changed? Blizzard has quietly made a change to the 3 tent toys with Patch 10.0.5, giving role players (and all other tent fans) suddenly new possibilities. Tents now operate under new rules:
- Building the tent has a cooldown of 2 minutes.
- Tents now appear directly over the character, with the entrance always facing forward.
- Tents last for 15 minutes or until a new tent is set up or the character moves too far away.
The result of this change is that role players can now create their own tent camps anywhere in the world – or simply enjoy a tent in the open world in a small group.
Until now, such camps usually relied on various cities, which were then played as “another place.” Now, role players have much more freedom and practically the entire world they can make into their camp.
So from me: Thank you, Blizzard. I really waited for this.
