Разработчики выпустили свежую сборку для обновления 1.14.4 WoW Classic на PTR с небольшими исправлениями и корректировками. В список новшеств вошли объявленные несколько дней назад улучшения "хардкорной" игры и расширенный API для WoW Classic, позволяющий запрашивать некоторые дополнительные данные насчет персонажей и гильдий.

Также сегодня, в пятницу, 4 августа, в 23:59 МСК на PTR начнется тестирование PvP-изменений с разработчиками, что изначально должно было состояться еще две недели назад.

WoW Classic Era 1.14.4 Development Notes

August 3, 2023
Build: 50753

Please Join us on the Normal WoW Classic Era PTR realm tomorrow, Friday, August 4 at 2:00 p.m. PDT for another Brawl with the Blues event! We’re looking for one big final scrap to help us confirm all of our adjustments to the new PvP system are behaving as expected.

Hardcore

Multiple improvements have been made to Guild Death Announcements on Hardcore realms:

• Death announcements can be disabled in the chat window configuration options menu under “Other”.
• Guild deaths will display the creature that killed the player-character and the zone or area they died in.
• A “Coward!” debuff will be inflicted on players that flee from a duel to the death. This debuff is incredibly punishing and will persist for 3 in-game days.
• The total in-bounds area for Duel to the Death has also been greatly increased.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue causing diminishing returns to not function correctly on the second and third applications of the same type of crowd control.
• Fixed an additional issue that caused scrolling combat text settings changes to not take effect until a UI reload.
• Restored a missing animation effect to the Hunter ability Flare.

New APIs Now Available for Testing

In patch 1.14.4, we’re opening some existing APIs that were initially hidden for Classic. These allow third-party websites and apps to retrieve in-game information as JSON text to display information to players or create useful tools, and we’ve seen more requests for them recently.

You can also check out the public API documentation for WoW and WoW Classic here, and we’ll update the Classic documentation as soon as possible. Until then, you can reference the similar WoW documentation on how to use the new endpoints.

Here are some of the APIs becoming public in 1.14.4:

Account Information:
/profile/user/wow

Character Information:
/character
/protected-character
/character/status
/character/equipment
/character/pvp-summary (New Mak’gora kill-count added here)
/character/pvp-bracket
/character/statistics
/character/hunter-pets

Guild Information:
/guild
/guild/roster
/guild/activity
/guild/achievements

Character achievement and specializations will be coming at a later date.

You can access the PTR data using the namespace “classic-ptr”.[Источник]
