Argent Tournament on the PTR

In patch 3.1, a new world event titled “The Argent Tournament” will be coming to Northrend! This tournament will be live on the 3.1 PTR and open for testing, though certain aspects are still in development. Players will find a host of new features here, including:

• The ability to prove your worth to a capital city of your choosing through our new mounted combat system (still in development)
• New daily quests to construct the great Argent Crusade coliseum for glorious battles to come
• All new rewards - new items, titles, banners, tabards, pets, mounts, and more
• All new achievements
• Many more festivities, and more to come in future content updates!

Players will find the Argent Tournament in Icecrown. Speaking to any Northrend flight master will get you on track to prove your worth to the Argent Crusade, your faction’s leaders, and all denizens of Azeroth!

Sounds like that could be fun

New daily quests to construct the great Argent Crusade coliseum for glorious battles to come

Sounds a bit like another SSO type thing. Dailys unlocking the area progresivly.

well if u talk to tirion fordring at the crusaders pinacle.
he talks to u about the need to take more land from the lich king before we can assault the ice crown.
addind aditional argent crusade quests every patch is something good blizz is doing.
instead of taking over whole icecrown in 1 day.

[Caelic]

Well that came out of the fucking blue...

Yeah, a nice surprise actually.

I am guessing it will be built in the area in front of the Argent Vanguard is, where (after you have completed the quests there) there are just a load of dragon skeletons. Either that or Scourgeholme will be converted. Either way I am excited. Always happy to see more Paladiny/Argent Crusade stuff.

Perhaps they will be re-introducing the old realm first titles for the cities i.e. "<name>, of Stormwind" etc.

More Content -> More PTR Testing -> Longer Wait until 3.1 on live servers.

At least I'll get a mount...

Not necessarily, Ulduar won't be up all the time & there will be plenty of people on the PTR who are not interested/geared for it anyway.

[Fuggle]

I am now even more excited for 3.1 than before. This sounds promising.

[Nubs]

Awesome, a new world event

I am guilty of this

Sounds awesome, I just hope the "mounted combat" system is NOTHING like the terrible vehicle combat in game now.

If they transfer the idea of vehicles scaling with gear to this, it can't be half-bad At least us protection geeks will be remotely useful without having to respec every VoA is up

must be their response to Conan's mounted combat and the advent of Darkfall this week. should be interesting at the least.

[Ama]

what I don't get about Blizz, is how they make everyone speak about one thing, and then announce something noone could even think about.. but, somehow, this is satisfying

[bk73]

WotLK's version of the AQ Gates?

That's what I take away from it, anyhow.

Sounds like a ton of fun.
