One more sleep to go before we're free from the nightmare of 10.2.6 and not knowing what the heck is going on in WoW.
Any last minute predictions?
IIRC, these are our clues:
- Time-limited event
- Requires a sub but not a DF license
- Pirates, using Freehold assets
- Something the community has been discussing
- Might involve trees and chickens
- Seemingly uses some nifty tech
- Devs are very excited
- Big enough for WoW to make a new logo for it
- Seems like Blizzard is doing a content creator event
- Also seems like Twitch drops are inbound
Hmm.
I hope it gives us the following:
1. A cool playable area, such as Plunder Isle or Islands
2. Repeatability for transmogs and XP
3. Something lasting, like the system returning later
A type of island where new alts can level up in time for War Within would be very welcome. Like, if Island Expeditions, Adventure Mode, the Mage Tower, the Brawler's Guild, Torghast, Exile's Reach and the Timeless Isle had a baby (a mutant, at that point).
A little NPC camp with a quartermaster and stuff. Then you enter through the gates as any level, and find yourself in some type of jungle with a ton of stuff going on.
Loot chests, kill mobs, kill players (or AI), gain power, find cool shit, and progress. The longer you last, the bigger the rewards as you exit. More XP, currency, transmogs or whatever.
Perhaps you either play alone or in optional groups.
It seems like the gameplay activity is meant to cause a buzz on Twitch, since they're changing their logo temporarily, adding Twitch drops, and involving content creators. So they probably want it to be fun to watch and chat about.
A name? Perhaps... Skirmish on Plunder Isle or something? Captain Nightsquall's Rumble?
