Stake your claim in the Darkspear Islands, a new 15v15 battleground in World of Warcraft: Forever where teams fight to control strategic points, capture the flag, and earn reputation rewards with the Darkspear Raiders or Theramore Expeditionary Force.
The BG itself looks neat, island WSG but with bridge crossings
Put hostile sharks in the water to force bridge use I think that’d be funny
I think these isles are supposed to be the one who sunk to the bottom of the ocean in the prologue of wc3 but it could also just be an island nearby to that one that didn’t but I’d expect people to have questions/comments about that.
Theramore?
Jaina’s infamous ‘neutrality’ at play again, I see!
Gral is HUNGRY
I want to know how the pvp system in gearing will work? Like in old classic? Where you grind with months to get GM/HW ?
Please rename “Theramore Expeditionary Force” into “Northwatch Expeditionary Force”. At the point in time of WoW: Forever, Jaina is still trying to ease up tensions between the Alliance and the Horde. Even if she admittedly only has little success in doing so, she would never approve sending such a hostile force under the banner of Theramore. The forces from Northwatch, however, are already depicted to the Horde as being overzealous, as they are said to be attacking any ship that gets too close from their cannons out of paranoia. It would make a lot of sense that they would see the Horde trying to reclaim these islands as a dangerous threat to them, which would need to be dealt with, hence sending the Northwatch Expeditionary Force.
Jaina gave lip service to the idea of peace yet on repeated occassions she lost control of the soldiers operating under her banner. It’s possible she’s been strong armed into sending the Alliance to keep the Darkspear at bay, which fits with her well meaning but deep incompetence through naivety.
At the end of the day a lot of the soldiers serving under her had little love for the Horde and they, themselves, did not want to make peace. Especially not when the Horde was still seeking to harm the Alliance during the supposed ‘truce’.
Really loving this new map
That’s the way it is.
Really nice addition this bg, I always enjoyed the DS starting zone.
