Shadowlands - Vorschau: Torghast und die unglaublich vielen Boni & Effekte!

Torghast, der Turm der Verdammten wird uns Spieler die ganze Erweiterung lang beschäftigen. Das Ziel ist es immer mehr und mehr Etagen abzuschließen, indem die vielen verschiedenen Herausforderungen gemeistert werden. So müssen Gegner bezwungen, Rätsel gelöst oder auch Bosse getötet werden. Um eine entsprechende Langzeitmotivation zu bieten muss es nicht nur tolle Belohnungen geben, sondern auch viel Abwechslung. Das soll durch verschiedene Boni und Effekte geschehen, die sich bei jedem Durchlauf (oder jede Woche) ändern.

Die Dataminer sind in den Spieldateien bereits fündig geworden und haben eine unglaublich große Anzahl an verschiedenen Buffs, Debuffs und Zaubern gefunden, die alle etwas mit Torghast zu tun haben. Diese teilen sich in verschiedene kleinere Systeme auf. Folgend findet ihr eine Übersicht dazu. Behaltet aber im Hinterkopf, dass bisher nicht zu 100% klar ist, wie das alles miteinander zusammenhängt. Zudem könnte es sich dabei auch (teilweise) noch um alte Testdaten handeln, die schon nicht mehr aktuell sind. 

Die Obleronausrüstung

Beim ersten System handelt es sich um die Obleronausrüstung. Durch diese ist es möglich sich einen generell starken Buff zu holen, der ein bestimmtes Attribut erhöht, während man sich in Torghast aufhält.

Beispiele der Effekte

•  Obleron Armaments   Obleron Armor is indelibly tied to the Armory.
•  Obleron Cypher: Endurance   Maximum health increased by 25% within the Maw for 1 hour.

•  Obleron Devourer   Devours Obleron armor off of targets, reducing their combat ability. Returns the armaments upon death.

Das Phantasma

Während man in Torghast unterwegs ist, wird die Währung Phantasma gesammelt. Diese ist jedoch nur temporär und verschwindet, sobald man den Turm verlässt. Somit muss man also immer wieder von neuem anfangen zu sammeln. Durch die Währung kann man dann Buffs aktivieren, die die Klassenfertigkeiten verstärken und mit zusätzlichen Effekten ausstatten.

•  Satchel of Phantasma   Acquire 150 Phantasma.
•  Scouring Tithe   Grant Phantasma to all players.
•  Significant Phantasma   Increases Phantasma earned by 25%.
•  Tithing Dish   If an enemy dies while under the effects of Scouring Tithe, they instantly grant 25 Phantasma to all players.
•  Unbound Phantasma   Alters the objective reality of players, inflicting 5 Shadow damage every 5 sec for 6 sec.
  When this aura is removed, the distortion transfers to the ground, triggering Phantasmic Collapse and immediately inflicting 5 Shadow damage to all players.

Bestien des Prodigums

Wie bereits auf der BlizzCon angekündigt wurde, soll es auch zufällige Events im Turm geben. Diese funktionieren sehr wahrscheinlich ähnlich wie die saisonalen Affixe in mythisch-plus Dungeons. Das erste Event nennt sich Bestien des Prodigums und es gibt allerlei Zaubereffeke dazu, die darauf hinweisen, dass man wohl eine eigene Schlundbestie befehligen kann.

Die Vitalität

In den Verstörenden Visionen gibt es die geistige Gesundheit und offenbar soll ein ähnliches System auch im Turm vorhanden sind. Dieses nennt sich Vitalität und man kann sie verlieren sowie aufladen. Beachtet hierbei, dass die Entwickler auf der BlizzCon sagten, dass es keinen Zeitdruck im Turm geben soll. Also entweder haben sie sich umentschieden oder aber die Vitalität ist vielleicht nur in bestimmten Etagen aktiv.

Die Macht des Kerkermeisters

Offenbar wird es eine Art von Hardmode-System geben, so wie die Masken der Verstörenden Visionen. Durch die Macht des Kerkermeisters werden nach und nach die Kreaturen im Turm verstärkt. Mehr Schaden, mehr Lebenspunkte, mehr Elite-Gegner und so weiter.
