14 DAY TRIAL // World of Warcraft is set to receive patch 5.4, aka Siege of Orgrimmar, in the near future and developer Blizzard has posted a list of main features, showing off not just the state of the game's main story, but also the different raids, zones, or quests, that are included in the update, not to mention the improved PvP arena system.
World of Warcraft may have lost plenty of subscribers in the last few years, but plenty of people still actively enjoy the title and are looking forward to the different themed updates for the online role-playing game.
Currently, Blizzard is working on patch 5.4, Siege of Orgrimmar, and even released a cinematic trailer yesterday.
Now, a list of main features has appeared, via Blizzard's official website, highlighting the new raids, a flexible raid mode, but also new features, like the Proving Grounds, or the better PvP Arena System.
Check out the list to learn more about each of these things.
New Raid: The Siege of Orgrimmar
- The Siege of Orgrimmar is a 3-wing, 14-boss raid for max-level players, which will call you to take down Warchief Garrosh Hellscream at the head of a host of Azeroth's finest.
New Raid Mode: Flexible
- Raid with a group of friends and guild mates regardless of server, and with any group size from 10 to 25, and the difficulty will automatically adjust to provide an appropriately challenging experience.
New Feature: Proving Grounds
- Undertake solo trials to practice or learn a new class role (Tank, Healer, or Damage). Each trial is available in multiple difficulties -- Bronze through Gold and the challenging 'Endless' mode.
New Zone: The Timeless Isle
- Giant outdoor zone promoting open-world adventuring with tons of hidden treasures, giant creatures to defeat, five world bosses, a pet battle tournament, and much more!
Legendary Quest: Judgment of the Black Prince
- The epic conclusion to the Legendary quest line will see players rewarded with unique cloaks imbued with powerful new abilities.
New Feature: Connected Realms
- Lower population realms will be permanently and seamlessly "linked." Players on the same Connected Realm will be able to trade, send and receive mail, join the same guilds, access a single Auction House, run the same Raids and Dungeons, and join other adventurers to complete quests.
PvP: Redesigned Arena System
- Arenas are no longer tied to specific Battlegroups, and players no longer need to create or join an Arena team to compete. Similar to the Rated Battleground system, players in a party of the appropriate size can queue.
World of Warcraft update 5.4 is already on the Public Test Realm and should roll out in the near future.
