Sunwell and 2.4 Details.

The swedish magazine Level published a special World of Warcraft magazine. In the latest issue they included an interview with Jeff Kaplan (Tigole) about the patch 2.4, and obviously the Sunwell instances.

Sunwell Isle
Sunwell Isle will be located off the coast, north of Silvermoon, and will be patched in with patch 2.4

Sunwell Isle will be a major questing hub with a 5-man Normal and Heroic Instance (Magister's Terrace) and a 25-man raid (Sunwell Plateau). The goal with Sunwell Isle is to close the Burning Crusade storyline before the release of the next expansion.

There are still a few scenarios left that could be released to provide the players with more content if WotLK gets delayed for any reason.

At the release of the patch, players will access a small expedition camp where they can start questing. However as the questing progresses, players will expand the camp and make it grow to a small town by retaking building to the enemies (running daily quests mostly). You can consider it as a AQ Gates opening event, the more daily quests that gets done, the faster the whole server will progress.

The quests will end the Tempest Keep story arc.

"The Shattered Sun Offensive" will be the new faction of this quest hub. It also seems that Aldor and Scryers will finally start fighting together against the new threat.

Both 5-man and 25-man dungeons will be accessible from the start, but some bosses will have to be unlocked by running the daily quests (server-wide) and/or leveling your reputation. The 5-man instance will most likely requires Honored reputation with The Shattered Sun Offensive, the first three bosses of the 25-man instance will be accessible from the start, while the three last ones will have to be unlocked through questing.

Sunwell Plateau
Kael'thas will be one of the boss of the 5-man dungeon, he's still alive and he's now got a huge green crystal etched to his chest.

Kil'jaeden will be the final boss of the 25-man instance. The other bosses include Brutalicus, a giant Pit Lord who has lost his wings, Kalecgos, a blue dragon enslaved by Kil'jaeden, a Fel Dragon, the female Eredar Twins, and a Dark Naaru.

The 25-man instance will be slightly harder than Black Temple, and is tuned for Tier 6 geared players.

There will not be any "real" Tier 7 set, but some of the drops will be set pieces (not necessarily class specific). The drops quality will be above T6.

Daily quests
Patch 2.4 will raise the cap of Daily quests allowed in a day from 10 to 25.

PvP
Balancing actions will be taken in regard to PvP for certain classes.

Blizzard have large plans for, and they will be aiming to bring it closer to e-sport acceptance.



重點翻譯

1.太陽井高地將會增加一個5人副本「博學者之台」與一個25人團隊副本「太陽井高地」。

2.新增聲望「破碎之日」，而最後三位太陽井高地的BOSS一開始是鎖起來的狀態，玩家只能打前三隻，全伺服器玩家必須透過完成破碎之日提供的每日任務累積資源才能逐步開啟，可以想成簡化版的安其拉之門。

3.凱爾薩斯沒死，他現在到博學者之台當BOSS讓玩家每天推。(笑)

4.基爾加丹將會是25人副本最終頭目。其他頭目包括失去了雙翼的深淵領主Brutalicus(失去雙翼反而比較強？什麼道理＠＠), 被基爾加丹俘虜了的藍龍Kalecgos(又是監禁play), 一條魔化龍, 一對女性雙子埃雷達爾(雙子是萌要素=w=/), 以及一隻暗黑那魯(估計是看到某部影片最後面那段.....)。(節錄翻譯自K.I.)

5.太陽井高地將會比黑暗神廟難，但是並不會有實質的T7，只會有類似的套裝，但不限職業。

6.這個patch將會完結暴風要塞的故事線，且是為了收尾BC而推出。

7.要是太陽井高地後巫妖王之怒仍然沒上檔，那麼還會有新的故事線patch出現。

8.BZ宣告一定要讓電子競技認同WOWArena，他將會有很大的計畫平衡所有職業，尤其是特定職業一定會被調整(總之覺得自己很IMBA的皮繃緊了)。
