The Burning of Teldrassil Intro on Battle for Azeroth Alpha

Recommended Posts

The Burning of Teldrassil intro is now available on Battle for Azeroth Alpha. The most recent build added a portion of the scenario that results in the Battle for Lordaeron.

The Burning of Teldrassil Intro

It all starts with Anduin offering the initial quest in Stormwind Keep.

A Short-Lived Peace

<Player Name>

As the Legion's presence wanes from our world, a new threat has arisen. It is with a heavy heart that I must ask you to lay your life down for the Alliance once more.

I have received a disturbing message from our operatives stationed in Orgrimmar. It seems that the Warchief has already began spinning the gears of war.

I await your arrival at Stormwind Keep to discuss matters further.

You, as my father's champion, have fought bravely in the name of the Alliance time and time again. For that, I owe you a great debt of gratitude.

The Horde Uprising

Reports have indicated that the Horde is mobilizing an army towards Silithus. Given the potential that azerite has to change the face of war, it should come as no surprise that the Warchief would want to lay her claim on it.

The only surprise is that it has begun so soon. The Horde and the Alliance have both suffered unimaginable losses on Argus.

Speak with Mathias Shaw. I want you to oversee Stormwind's presence in Silithus.

<Master Mathias Shaw appears>

Quote

Master Mathias Shaw says: <Player Name>! Your majesty -- wait! I have received new information!

A Disturbance in Ashenvale

The Horde! They diverted at the North fork of the Barrens! They have marched on Ashenvale!

Most of Malfurion's troops have already set sail for Silithus, but Darnassus has sent its city guards to help reinforce Astranaar. Their captain goes by the name of Delaryn Summermoon.

Find her, <Player Name>. Hold the city for as long as you can. King Anduin and I will send a fleet as soon as we can muster.

Now you must take the boat to Darnassus from Stormwind Harbor and fly from Rut'theran Village to Astranaar. Once you enter Astranaar, you'll see the village on fire and notice a bunch of Night Elf corpses that have been poisoned by Rogues.

Quote

Captain Delaryn Summermoon says: I... it was too late. I... couldn't save them... Anaris... what did they do to you? By the location of the bodies, I think the town was taken by surprise. The guards were poisoned where they stood. Rogues. Then, they rounded up the civilians in the center of the city and... it is such a horrific thought. I'm sorry, who are you again? Are you the one that Malfurion spoke of?

The Light of Elune

My sisters lie slain on the soft earth of Ashenvale. We are trained to expect losses in battle, but I have never seen something so horrific -- something so -- cowardly. The Horde have sunk to a new low in this war.

We do not have time to grieve, but we are not savages as the horde have proven to be.

Please, <Player Name>, will you help me say a prayer to Elune so that we may honor the fallen? Their wisps deserve the light of her blessing.

The next step is to honor the bodies of the fallen soldiers in Astranaar. This quest is really simple. All you need to do is to click six corpses.

A Soft Glow

This light of the wisps... it is all around us. Why does the forest awaken?

I hear... something. That sounds -- could it be our Shan'do?

Quickly, <Player Name>, Malfurion beckons!

You go to Twilight Vale, where you find fallen Orgrimmar Raiders, Sylvanas and Malfurion. Malfurion roots everyone and the Horde soldiers try to rush through the wall of wisps and attack, but get killed in the process.

Quote

Malfurion Stormrage yells: You will make it no further, Banshee Queen!

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner yells: Soldiers -- no -- do not rush the --!!!

Malfurion informs you that you can pass through the wall unharmed while Sylvanas escapes.

Quote

Malfurion Stormrage says: You may pass through the wall unharmed, <Player Name>. The wisps will not harm you.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner yells: There will be nowhere to run next time we meet, Malfurion!

To Darnassus!

The Warchief has come for us. I knew this day would come.

Our forces have been gathered in Darnassus, though many of them have already set sail for Silithus. Meet with Shandris Feathermoon and alert her of the Warchief's presence.

Elune be with you, <Player Name>.

<Captain Delarym Summermoon appears>

Quote

Captain Delaryn Summermoon says: Shan'do! I came as quickly as I could! I saw the Warchief headed towards Zoram'gar oupost.

Malfurion Stormrage says: She has come for us, Delaryn. The Warchief has come to capture the World Tree.

Captain Delaryn Summermoon says: Our troops, Shan'do -- Tyrande sent them to defend our outpost in Silithus days ago.

You learn that most of the Alliance troops have been sent to Silithus and the Alliance may be outnumbered and not able to defend Teldrassil. Go to Darnassus and find Shandris Feathermoon to tell her that the Horde have invaded Darkshore.

Quote

Shandris Feathermoon says: We must take action! Sentinels, forward face! Fourth Fleet, you are to reinforce the southern border of Darkshore! Bring the Glaive Throwers! Fifth Fleet, create a ley line at the Wildbend River! Rouse our allies at the Grove of the Ancients! Hippogryph Archers, come with me -- we will regroup in Lor'danel and remain vigilant as a mobile response unit! That leaves you, hero. Report back to Captain Summermoon and reinforce that border! I have something that can help.

The intro ends here, with the requirements to mount a fey dragon and slay 50 Horde soldiers.

What?      What Horde?   You could count the number of Horde NPCs on the Vindicar and Argus together with one hand.

The game is not representative of what actually happened in the story. All the forces of Azeroth visited Argus. Major ones, that is.

I am extremely pleased they are showing both sides of the initial conflict from both factions (hopefully).  

I said it a while ago they needed a scenario like Lordaeron for both sides, one winning and one losing.  

GG Blizz.  For Reals.

If I die before the end of the WoW storyline, I want my dwarf npc stuck in somewhere in this kind of scenario singing "Here we go, here we go, here we fuckin' go" while spamming /rude and /moon at the Horde

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
