Demons have preferences?

[zsecmmo]

Simple question, why is the Legion not invading Northrend or Pandaria? Is there anything in Lore to explain this?

[Bathory]

They kept it to zones everyone can reach at level 1, I'm assuming.

[kalaratic]

there are demon invasions of pandaria that you can see through monk order hall campaign

[Shadochi]

They are invading the two continent too, it's just that there aren't any Invasions for us players there.
In the Monk artifact acquisition or Order Hall campaign you see that peaks of serenity (Pandaria) is also invaded.

Because making six invasion points is cheaper than making, say, 24?

It seems to be the legion ship and portal were already coded and created on the back end, all they have to do is copy and paste it to another zone where they want everything to spawn. Hence the large green portal above each invasion point.

That's not how game programming works...

I've seen GMs spawn assets in world, I know it can be done.

yes, making a phase for each zone, setting the locations everything can spawn, and setting up camps aswell, choosing and setting up the town to be where the main focus is, and setting up spawns

totally just copy and paste

Lol he asked for "in lore" explanations. It's a good question and in my opinion I'd imagine that they are invading everywhere on all continents. Blizz did say it's they biggest legion invasion yet and there is no reason why they wouldn't invade those continents. But Sargeras does know that the strongest resistance to his plan is horde and alliance and so he'd try to strike at the heart of their populations first. I can't explain tanaris invasion though lol. "Let's invade the desert"

it cant all just be copy and pasted though...

also you asked for lore, we explained why in lore, then you started asking why not in game, and we told you why, too much work

What is in Tanaris, again?

[ComputerNerd]

Pretty much this I would assume.
They are opting to utilise the new scaling tech, as much as it is very hit or miss in terms of numbers.
That alone is very welcome, and in many ways a good way of testing potential expansion of it.
That has highlighted a lot of issues with it, and that is a good thing.

What is in Tanaris, again?

Goblins and Sand.

[zsecmmo]

What is in Tanaris, again?

The caverns of time.

I would think you would try to conquer all the empty, low resistance places first and strengthen your foothold.

And really if they have interdimensional spaceships, I still don't get why they can't just nuke us from Orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

[animeprime]

The worlds only source of Noggenfogger Elixer, duh. With that they'll steamroll right over us. The same with the invasion of Westfall, without all our hobo's the alliance is doomed.

From my understanding the Legion doesn't know where Azeroth is located in space, so there ships spawn through the portals and hover us, they can't nuke it because I guess it would blow it's self up, or they would get lost? lol.

[Deleted]

Sand and loads of sands and stone

[Nefarious Tea]

This guy gets it.

In wc3 they attacked the night elves very early for the same reason (according to chronicles) that's why I made this conclusion.

Also about the spaceships... Because that wouldn't be fun.

Also Sargeras has a certain fascination for azeroth and I don't remember the reason but he doesn't want to plain out destroy the planet. Maybe it can be a base of operations or a potential for new recruits (that's usually why he visits planets habited by intelligent and powerful species such as draenor and argus)

Excuse my grammar topping from a phone.
