WoW: No spoilers about Dataminer – endgame quests are all encrypted for the first time
Content releases and updates from WoW in general live on data mining and the discoveries of third parties. Blizzard developers use this type of information dissemination on purpose. As we learned from an interview, Dragonflight players should be spared story spoilers.
In a group interview, writers from sites like WoWhead and a few other sites got the chance to talk to Associate Game Director Jeremy Feasel and Lead Software Engineer May Flores Garcia about upcoming WoW: Dragonflight content. Among other things, it was about the story of the Dragon Islands, the world design and the endgame of Dragonflight.
When asked if the endgame quests in Dragonflight have any sort of timegating via the new glory levels As we will have in Shadowlands, Jeremy Feasel gave an interesting answer. According to the Associate Game Director, important quests in Dragonflight’s endgame will all be encrypted.
No more data mining spoilers? Dragonflight endgame quests should all be encrypted
Blizzard developers are loading new content for WoW (buy now ) before in CDN (Content Delivery Network) high. This allows multiple developers around the world to work on new updates at the same time. The super important content is encrypted, but most of the files in this online network can be decrypted by dataminers with the right programs and passed on to the community. That should change, at least in the case of the decisive glory quests.
“There are a number of different questlines that unlock when you reach max level. And I think one of the most interesting things about our particular endgame system is that everything in this world is encrypted. These quests have not yet been played on the beta server. While players are aware that there are chapters that unlock at max level and are tied to reputation. However, you don’t know exactly which chapters these are. We look forward to seeing how people react to this because you don’t know how the next story will end and you get to see the next episode as it happens.” said Jeremy Feasel in an interview.
So, for the first time in what feels like forever, players will not be confronted with spoilers and, even if they do a thorough research on the game, will see story content live in-game for the first time. The interview also clarified that the progression for these Fame tiers are weekly quests and the system is extremely twink friendly. So you can complete the weekly task right at the beginning of the ID and then focus on what you love to do for the rest of the ID. No more story spoilers, sounds good right?
