Summary
World of Warcraft Classichas made the Warlock Metamorphosis Rune possible to obtain outside Blackfathom Deeps in the Season of Discovery. This popular change came quickly afterWorld of Warcraftfans voiced their dissatisfaction with the role-bending Rune being locked behind the raid.
The new Season of Discovery servers hold many secrets within them, least of all being the addition of Runes, powerful, class-specific enchantments that grant special abilities, passives, and even new roles for certain classes. One of the most popular ones is the Warlock’s Metamorphosis Rune, which allows them to transform into a demon and become a tank. However, fans were upset to discover the first stage of the unlock quest was inside Blackfathom Deeps, the capstone raid during thefirst level cap ofWoW ClassicSeason of Discovery.
World of Warcraftheard its fans and, in arecent hotfix forWoW Classic, added the Twilight Acolyte NPCs who drop the required item outside the raid. Senior game producer Josh Greenfield, also known as Aggrend, apologized for making this mistake on his personal Twitter, and explained that it happened via miscommunication. Aggrend clarifiedWoW Classicdidn’t want to have any Runes locked behind raids, and will try to avoid doing so in the future.
Fans were obviously gladWorld of Warcraftmade this change, but they were also impressed by Aggrend’s grace and punctuality while doing so. While many expected the Rune to stay locked behind theWoW ClassicSeason of Discovery raid, the devs defied expectations by not only fixing it, but apologized with transparency and humility, winning no small amount of favor from the community in the process.
Players interested in a new spin onClassic WoWmight want to consider giving Season of Discovery a shot. With the ability for Warlocks, Shamans, Rogues, andMages to take on newWorld of Warcraftroles via Runes, fans will certainly discover something new if they do.
