World of Warcraft: Forever's last-minute patch transforms its bovines into racecars capable of zooming 60% faster than everyone else
Blizzard dropped a final balance pass for each playable race's unique abilities.
The final patch for World of Warcraft: Forever has introduced a game-changing update, transforming tauren, the game's bovine race, into racecar drivers capable of zooming 60% faster than all other players. Since the MMO's launch, the tauren have struggled with their movement speed, which was significantly slower than other races, resembling a slow-motion run due to their large size.
With the new patch, Blizzard has blessed the tauren with a passive that increases their movement speed the longer they stay in motion, doubling the Plainsrunning speed to an impressive 60%. This change effectively makes the tauren just as fast as the expensive mounts players have to purchase, effectively eliminating the tauren's movement disadvantage.
However, this update comes with a trade-off, as Blizzard has reduced the powerful Read Leyline ability of the skyborne, blue elves, from its previously absurd regeneration rate. Overall, this last-minute patch demonstrates Blizzard's commitment to balancing racial abilities, even if it means making significant changes close to launch.
