The impact of Spell Batching in patch 1.13.7. Classic WoW


Blizzard announced a new Patch on the Public Test Realm, Patch 1.13.7, which details a major change to the entire game, reducing the spell batching window by 40 times! Instead of a 400 millisecond batch window, Classic will be getting a modern batch window of 10 milliseconds.To get more news about safe wow gold, you can visit lootwowgold official website.

Before we take a look at all the different things that will be changing, let's talk about when Blizzard actually made the change to spell batching. If you take a look at this post Blue Post from June 2014, you'll see Celestalon explaining how before Warlods of Draenor, there was always a spell batch window of 400 ms.

So that means there actually was a 400 ms batch window from Vanilla WoW in 2004 up to Warlords of Draenor in 2014, an entire 10 years before the spell batching window was adjusted on live servers! Why is this important to bring up? Well it begs the question, thousands of players have been asking for Blizzard to make the change before The Burning Crusade comes out (which many people think is coming soon).

But this is a significant change from how Burning Crusade actually was. Why did people not want Vanilla WoW touched for Classic, but are cheering for the change in The Burning Crusade? Or even a more interesting question... How will people feel about this change if Classic F R E S H happens?

Unrelated to this topic, but still a worthwhile point to bring up, the naming system for the Classic WoW Patches have coincided with the Phase releases. 1.13.1 was CLassic Launch (Phase 1), 1.13.2 was Classic Phase 2, 1.13.3 was Phase 3 and so on, all the way up until right now, 1.13.6 with Phase 6. This new PTR Patch is named 1.13.7. Is that a Phase 7? Could that mean Classic Plus? Or just a Pre-Patch for TBC ?
