Originally introduced as a part of the World of Warcraft 10-Year Anniversary event, this Brawl harkens back to the early days of WoW PvP, with an epic battle between the two towns of Tarren Mill and Southshore. In this game of war, you’ll need to work as a team and deplete your foes’ resources to claim victory.

A series of new twists on popular player-versus-player activities are on the way. Starting with “Southshore vs. Tarren Mill”, “Gravity Lapse”, and “Warsong Scramble”, PvP Brawls offer a variety of mode, rules, and scenic changes to the usual Battleground gameplay. Look for the Brawl option in the Group Finder (default hotkey: i) Player vs. Player tab, under the Casual selection.

Now get to it, US, and bring us a cinematic!

"The archaeology reward for the next week is Purple Hills of Mac'Aree, formerly an AP item now vendorable for 50 gold."

Super motivated!

Comment by ossiferdown

been wondering this for a while, if anyone knows, but what happens to legion world bosses when bfa launches? they'll still rotate every week right?

Comment by Sogol

now we know who did it ? :D

Comment by Rathalos23

Can't wait to play the final quests of the burning of teldrassil questline !
I'll try to not spoil me and not even check internet at work, and discover it myself when i'm back home.

Who burned the tree is also the biggest mystery i hope to figure out tommorow :) !

Comment by Madcocogirl

When are the new cinematics out?

Comment by wisedada

Really hyped about the next chapter of War of Thorns.

And frankly, despite being an avid Wowhead reader, I wasn't aware about the chance to do Battle for Lordaeron scenario in a week.

I will forget the color of the sky in the next month, for sure...

Comment by Belzubub

I live in the EU. The suspense is killing me.

Comment by Peredhil

#MorallyGrey folks....remember this ;)

Comment by Draccy

I wish the Darkshore quests would do better on gear rewards. My Paladin hasn't seen shoulders, pants or a prot shield. Just always two swords, or two helms.

Neck pieces and trinkets would be cool, but not important.

Can't wait for the cinematic to give no answer, but I'm still holding out for Genn.

I’ve been assuming they’ll continue as normal. People may still need the Unleashed Monstrosities artifact appearance on alts that just finished Balance of Power. And WoD world bosses still spawn iirc.

Comment by Tenkich

So, like, how many hours is America in advance oppose EU? Will we see the cinematics before midnight EU?

Comment by Sielinth

well crap that went down

Sylvanas did it, zero ambiguity

Comment by lovelywaz

If you didn't get quest when logged in, teleport to Darnasus then port to Rutheran Village and quest will pop up

Comment by SiegaPlays

Is there no bypass on alts this week?

Comment by Eighjan

So, like, how many hours is America in advance oppose EU?

All US resets are at 9AM, PST (I think) - so 8 hrs behind UK.

Will we see the cinematics before midnight EU?

We'll get this content with our reset.

Comment by Eighjan

So; no additional WQ rewards, in week 2?

Comment by lovelywaz

Is there no bypass on alts this week?

You get a very quick option to skip just when you turn in the last quest and then it disappear. Probably caused by the lag between you hit the button and server takes your quest turn in. I think next part will be skipable on alts.

I will just wait for the next week on alts since mount is a/c bound anyway and I don't have the stomach to see helpless frightened citizens behind fires and we don't have enough time to save many let alone all.

The archaeology reward for the next week is Purple Hills of Mac'Aree, formerly an AP item now vendorable for 50 gold. If you don't grab it in the next two weeks, you'll have to wait another 6 months for the rotation!

Oh no we better hurry.
