Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about the World of Warcraft Super Helicopter Pack, and the pros and cons have been hotly debated, and the welcome said that they have been looking forward to it for a long time, and it is convenient to start the number, and it can also hit the studio, which is great! Opponents say that World of Warcraft actually sells equipment, and Warcraft is no longer Warcraft, it has become a Krypton mobile game!
Xiao Tan thinks that when discussing a thing, we can't directly determine whether it's right or not, but whether it's the first time World of Warcraft has sold equipment? In fact, the World of Warcraft helicopter pack appeared as early as 10 years ago!
World of Warcraft launched the helicopter pack for the first time in 2014, mainly to prepare for the 6.0 Draenor and attract players to return, as long as you have a level 30 character, you will give a chance to upgrade to level 90 for nothing, and if players have more needs, you can also spend 150R to buy more helicopter packs.
The content of this helicopter package is also very rich, including the following:
1) A level 483 set of equipment that matches the selected Ascend Character specialization.
2) 150 gold coins to pay for the cost of moving and repairing equipment between flight points.
3) 4 Ember Silk Backpacks (22 containers) and a stack of food.
4) A universal flying mount (Swift Purple Wind Rider for the Horde and Swift Purple Gryphon for the Alliance) with Expert riding skill of 280% speed for the Flying Mount.
5) Pilot licenses for Azeroth, Northrend, Outlands, Pandaria.
6) If you choose to upgrade to level 90 and exceed level 60 (inclusive), you will also receive additional rewards: Major Pro Skills and First Aid will be upgraded to 600 skill level.
Note that this is the first helicopter package launched 10 years ago, which is to send equipment, although it seems that there are only 483 outfits, etc., but it is also consistent with the T14 random group book.
Obviously, there is no obvious difference between the helicopter package 10 years ago and the current return of the national service to the helicopter package.
Not only did there be a helicopter package 10 years ago, but there was a helicopter package in all subsequent versions of World of Warcraft, and even Blizzard launched a super helicopter package on the official server (version 10.1) half a year ago.
The only problem with the helicopter pack of the WLK nostalgic suit is that the equipment is slightly higher, reaching the quasi-BIS level of this version, while the previous helicopter packs are the level of the current version of the random group.
Of course, this is not a big problem, after all, Ulduar is about to open, as long as NetEase and Blizzard do not put the new version of BIS equipment in the helicopter package.
Xiao Tan's summary: In fact, the World of Warcraft catch-up package began to be sold 10 years ago, and almost all versions are available, this is just a means to attract players to return, to give novice players and returning players a little benefit, to prevent players from being afraid to enter the game because they want to catch up with a large number of versions of the content in the early stage, it is not worth making a fuss at all.
The equipment in the World of Warcraft is the least valuable, basically as soon as a new version is opened, the equipment of the previous version will become waste (except for individual best products such as dragon spine) As long as Blizzard and NetEase stick to the bottom line in the future and do not sell the current version of BIS, Xiao Tan thinks this is not much of a problem.
What's more, this catch-up package is very special, it is just a compensation content for the national server to be suspended for a year and a half, and the reward is a little better and understandable, which can attract more players to return.
Xiao Tan estimates that the Super Helicopter will not "evolve" in the future, and the entire subsequent version of WLK will maintain the level of 213 equipment.
