World of Warcraft’s latest bug stems from Blizzard’s attempt to ease the gaming experience for new users of the MMORPG…<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A new bug has been found in World of Warcraft that will radically change the game experience for some players. This bug literally makes characters “immortal” in Dragonflight zones, where new members of the community often appear before taking on the toughest challenges in the MMORPG alone or in groups. Fortunately, it looks like Blizzard will fix this bug soon.<\/p>\n

A user named UsualInitial thoroughly analyzed the problem and came to the conclusion that the phenomenon of immortality does not affect all users of the title: “WoW has recently made it near impossible for players to die while leveling or doing the early campaign”<\/em> – writes a Reddit user in post. In the meantime, Windows Central also picked up on the developments and contacted game director Ion Hazzikostas to ask for an insider’s opinion.<\/p>\n

“The seemingly immortal gameplay for players in current Dragonflight leveling is a bug,” Hazzikostas confirmed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“When we converted Dragonflight to become the new default leveling experience<\/a>, we received feedback from playtesting and user focus groups that some of the zones and content that were originally built for veteran level 70+ players could feel overwhelming to true new players who were still trying to learn the basics of combat.”<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The World of Warcraft bug was meant to help beginners<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

“In The War Within, we added a ‘training-wheels’ set of zone buffs themed around the different dragonflights, intended to only apply if you are a new player on your first playthrough,”<\/em> continues Hazzikostas. “One of these buffs is a ‘cheat death’ that should save you from one death every so often. Unfortunately, there is a bug with that buff, and the cooldown isn’t working. We’re fixing this as we speak, and it should be resolved in the coming days.”<\/em> So, the World of Warcraft experience will soon be back to normal.<\/p>\n
