Patch notes 5.2.0: Raid de 13 boss, 2 World Boss, quête légendaire...
Blizzard a dévoilé le patch notes 5.2.0 dans son intégralité ! Il s'agit bien évidemment de modifications non définitives mais elles permettent tout de même de se rendre compte que Blizzard ne se moque pas de nous avec une ribambelles de nouveautés.
On note l'arrivée d'une nouvelle zone nommée l'ïle du Tonnerre. Les joueurs auront ici accès à une nouvelle histoire et de nouvelles quêtes journalières afin de prendre d'assaut la forteresse de l'Empereur Lei Shen. Les joueurs de la Horde et de l'Alliance pourront monter chacune une nouvelle réputation liée au Seigneur Lord'themar Theron ou Jaina Portvaillant, avec de puissants objets et des montures à la clés. Au bout d'un moment, les joueurs pourront choisir d'activer de nouvelles quêtes PvE ou PvP, au choix !
Les forgerons seront heureux d'apprendre qu'une forge spéciale pourra être débloquée à un moment donné, leur permettant de fabriquer des objets utilisables en raid ainsi que des armes classiques du passé.
Comme on l'a connu dans le passé, les joueurs débloqueront le contenu petit à petit via l'effort de guerre, ce qui veut dire que tous les royaumes n'auront pas accès au contenu en même temps.
Bien sûr, ce n'est pas tout et Blizzard prévoit également de nombreuses autres fonctionnalités:
- Le Raid Throne of Thunder comportera 12 boss.
- Si vous venez à bout du boss Lei Shen en mode héroïque, vous pourrez accéder à un 13ème boss.
- La version Recherche de Raid de la citadelle sera composée de 4 ailes différentes.
- Une réputation exclusivement liée au raid sera disponible, l'Assaut Pandashan, et proposera des récompenses impressionnantes.
- La quête légendaire continuera avec Irion qui vous proposera la suite de l'histoire. Les plus puissants héros d'Azeroth joindront la quête et les joueurs pourront débloquer un nouvel enchantement, The Crown of Heavens.
- Deux nouveaux World Boss: Nalak, the Storm Lord et Oondasta. Nalak apparaîtra une fois que l'île du Tonnerre aura été conquise. Oondasta sera lié aux Zandalari et pourra être trouvé sur la mystérieuse Île des Géants.
- Les fermiers d'Azeroth pourront acheter une ferme. Vous pourrez d'ailleurs lier votre pierre de foyer à celle-ci. Certaines factions vous contacteront pour vous demander des services et en réalisant ceux-ci, vous gagnerez en réputation envers ces factions.

New World Boss System
- Here players can join the assault to conquer Emperor Lei Shen's island stronghold, unlock new questlines and daily quest hubs, participate in special events, earn the right to visit the fabled Treasure Room, lay claim an arsenal of powerful Mogu artifacts for their faction, and more.
- Each faction's finest are spearheading the assault: the Kirin-Tor Offensive led by Jaina Proudmoore and the Sunreaver Onslaught led by Lor'themar Theron. Earning reputation with these new factions offers heroes the opportunity to receive new quests and reputation rewards, including powerful items and an intimidating new mount.
- After both the Alliance and the Horde have eked out a foothold on the isle, players can choose to perform quests that are PvE or PvP focused.
- PvP quests will direct players against opposing faction NPCs, but slaying opposing players will grant credit as well.
- As the heroes conquer the Isle, they will unlock the powerful Lightning Forge, which will allow Blacksmiths to forge mighty raid-worthy items, as well as classic weapons from the past.
- Players on the PTR can teleport to the Isle of the Thunder King at their faction shrines in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. While the Isle of the Thunder King will be unlocked progressively by each realm based on participation in the war effort, initially only some of the Isle’s features will be unlocked. Future updates will include the Shipyard and the Main Courtyard. Some features, including the Treasure Room, will not yet be available.
New Raid: Throne of Thunder
- Emperor Lei Shen, the Thunder King, has returned to wreak his vengeance on Pandaria. It falls to the heroes of the Alliance and the Horde to stop the newly resurrected tyrant and his Zandalari allies in the massive new raid: Throne of Thunder.
- Throne of Thunder is a sprawling citadel housing 12 new raid encounters, and players that defeat Emperor Lei Shen in Heroic mode can earn the opportunity to face an additional 13th foe.
- The Raid Finder version of the Throne of Thunder will be divided into 4 different wings.
- Join the Shado-Pan Assault in their singular drive to see Lei Shen, The Thunder King defeated once and for all, and gain access to impressive Valor reward items. Reputation with this faction can be earned only within the Throne of Thunder raid dungeon.
- Please note: During the 5.2 PTR, this raid dungeon will only be available during a limited testing window. Keep an eye on our PTR Discussion Forum for details.
The Legendary Quest Continues
- Wrathion must know the origin and source of Mogu power, and Azeroth's mightiest heroes will aid the Black Prince in finding out what it is. The search for information will take players into the depths of the Thunder King's Palace, and pit them against trials of perseverence and skill. Along the way, they'll unlock the secrets to a new headgear enchantment, the Crown of the Heavens.
- Please note: Initially this quest is not available on the PTR, but will be coming soon.
New World Bosses: Nalak, the Storm Lord and Oondasta
- Nalak, the Storm Lord: After the Isle of the Thunder King has been conquered, the gate guardian of the Thunder King's citadel will appear: Nalak, the Storm Lord. Players will frequently have the opportunity to test their mettle against him.
- Oondasta: Found in a place that has been lost in time, the great devilsaur lord Oondasta has been outfitted for battle with weaponry and armor by the Zandalari, and awaits players brave enough (or foolhardy enough) to seek him out on the mysterious Isle of Giants found in the seas north of Kun-Lai Summit.
Buy The Farm
- Players that have grown attached to working the land at Sunsong Ranch can now purchase the land from Farmer Yoon. Once the farm is owned by a player, it becomes a rest point like an Inn, where the player can bind and instantly log out. Work orders will pour in to the farm from factions across Pandaria, and completing a work orders will earn a reputation boost with the issuing faction.
- Please note: The new Sunsong Ranch features are not available on the PTR, but will be coming soon.
New World Boss System
- All world bosses are now Tap to Faction. This new system offers every eligible player of the same faction that engages a boss the chance to earn loot. Under the new system, players will only be able to earn loot from each world boss once per week, but bonus rolls apply. Bosses will now respawn more frequently as well.
