The Great Sea is filled with uncharted islands, and Battle for Azeroth will send you to wide array of these in an effort to locate resources to fuel the war between the Horde and the Alliance. The new Island Expeditions feature is a three-player cooperative experience grounded in exploration and small-scale conflict, set in a diverse range of environments. Each time you set out on an Island Expedition, you’ll engage in a variety of objectives and race against “Advanced NPC” opponents for these resources. If you’re looking to engage in PvP, there will be an opportunity for it here as well.

Comment by fwcainWhen I first heard of this new feature, I thought maybe Blizz was going to let us play the part of a pirate ship -- er, a naval squadron, I mean -- and engage in ship-vs-ship combat (which would have been cool). Essentially, we would have been role-playing out the Shipyard missions from Warlords. ;-)

Based on what I read in this article, it sounds like we will actually be doing is playing the part of marines (i.e. amphibious assaults; landing at the beach and then engaging in normal combat), and not the part of a navy.

Since this is going to be Scenario-based and -driven, I'd like to point out one of the major problems I've experienced with scenarios. Namely, many of the other players who I've encountered in scenarios have no patience; they're too busy emulating Zergs >_< to let me actually READ the quest text, to find out what is expected of us, and to let me just look around and enjoy the scenery for a moment or two. I really hope Blizz can find a way to fix this, so that ALL of us can enjoy this new feature, each at our own speed.

Thanks,
Franklin

And not just regular Zergs, either. No, I'm talking about rabid, hopped-up-on-meth-and-caffeine Zergs, who are also incontinent and desperately searching for a bathroom in time! :-P~
