The executive vice-president added the company had approached Microsoft approached Blizzard to seek "advice on the MMOG sector," though it is not known for which project. Similar remarks sparked a blaze of rumors during the Game Developers Conference this past March. Then, the WoW cataclysm Gold developer-publisher stopped them.

WoW Cataclysm Classic 's latest public test realm is set to go live in the wild on February 3 and comes with a variety of combat enhancements, balance adjustments as well as bugs that players can go through before the update makes its way into Live version of the Amazon MMO.

As previously reported from Amazon Game Studios, February will not see the release of the latest content in WoW Cataclysm Classic, with the team working on fixing bugs and making improvements.

"Deciding the best time to align resources to create new content or concentrate on improving existing content is a delicate decision for live games, as WoW Cataclysm Classic is no any different," the February PTR announcement is written. "For the February update to our game we've put a period to pause development of features to improve the quality of the game in its live version."

The most notable of these changes are the improvements to combat's responsiveness. Switching between weapons will feel more fluid, as players are being able to swap weapons when they are in the middle of dodges, reactions, making use of consumables, as well as moving around the world. Switching to a weapon and then putting it in queue for the ability or attack is now possible, allowing players to instantly perform an action following switching. Furthermore the time to recover after doingdging has been reduced.

Although the PTR notes do not go into specifics, a range of weapon capabilities are getting "significant changes." This includes the Great Axe's potent Gravity Well ability, as well as the potent Musket skills such as stopping Power, Sticky Bomb, and Shooter's Stance.

The February PTR update also introduces an official trade chat channel where players can offer their products and several changes for PTR's Outpost Rush PvP mode, with changes to how the scoring mechanism works, as well as adjustments to rewards that now include tokens from factions.

The full PTR details here. WoW Cataclysm Classic recently introduced the Mutator system to its game's endgame Dungeons, and also provided methods to increase the maximum score for gear items, providing max-level players with an array of content to explore.
