Zone Scaling PostNew Battleground

Blizzard

In a new Battleground, Seething Shore, players of the Horde and Alliance will descend upon Silithus to battle over the Azerite bubbling to the surface. This Battleground will offer dynamic control point gameplay similar to Arathi Basin, but with new control points appearing periodically as resources are depleted. This new Battleground will require coordination as you and your team work to overcome the opposing faction. Since this Battleground actually serves to tell part of the story that leads to the events of Battle for Azeroth, we also plan to offer a preview of the Seething Shore during patch 7.3.5 as we continue to build upon the conflict between the Horde and the Alliance for the coming expansion.

Silithus Updates

Sargeras throws a massive sword at Azeroth before he is seized by the remaining titans.

Illidan agrees to be the jailor for Sargeras.

Azeroth is now wounded in Silithus, leading to all sorts of speculation that Old Gods are awakening.

Magni Bronzebeard: The tortured soul of Argus has been put to rest.
Illidan Stormrage: It matters not. We have lost. Look to the skies!
Prophet Velen: Sargeras will soon undo all we have fought for.
Voice of Amanthul: No.
Voice of Amanthul: We will use the last glimmer of Argus's power to bind him here. The Seat of the Pantheon shall become Sargeras's prison... and ours as well.
Prophet Velen: You would condemn yourselves to stop him?
Illidan Stormrage: Our world must survive... no matter the cost!
Voice of Amanthul: A sacrifice must be made.
Voice of Amanthul: Return home, children of Azeroth. Protect the final titan.
High Exarch Turalyon: Prophet... what happened out there?
Prophet Velen: Illidan serves as the Dark Titan's jailer. His sacrifice has ended the Legion. At long last, the Burning Crusade...is over.

Comment by ShryThe xmog hammer has me excited, I loved the skin and am happy to have it, what this has me most excited about however is the chance that in a few months we will have a timewalking Firelands and I can hopefully have a transmogable Dragonwrath.Comment by HowitzerI just hope the group issues for timewalking raids are fixed before ulduar goes live.Comment by itsayejayI have so many characters that I want to level up, 7.3.5 can't come soon enough.Comment by PuffexIt's like they finnaly listen and give players what they are asking most.Comment by JXClaytorI love time walking stuff, and hopefully will be able to participate in Ulduar soon!Comment by dclee85The thing I'm looking forward to the most is zone scaling, but I'm also a bit curious about the new BG.Comment by LilRikkuOh a new battleground. So pumped.Comment by JuggeroneAwesome, another transmoggable legendary. <3Comment by CelestriAs someone who had no plans to buy the next expansion (I've been playing since vanilla)... they actually managed to get my attention.Comment by Tankjr01New expansions rule. Silithus love.Comment by twocowsLooking forward to seeing the Silithus changes in person. Level scaling will be nice, too.Comment by Tueftleri just need antorus to come out already. regardless of when 7.3.5 hits or what it bringsComment by VeronaLooking forward to that new battleground! For The Horde!Comment by WhytewolfThis should be interesting. Can't wait.Comment by SilisavOmg, I'll go straight to alting! This is gonna be a great patch. Legion has been so awesome, had so many more than I could have asked for!Comment by AlphageekThere is a fairly believable rumor that 4 of the allied races will also be made available during 7.3.5.Comment by stymIf this trend keeps going on, it must mean that mogable shadowmourne, dragonwrath and fangs of the father are a possibility. I like that.Comment by QcRomanI love the zone scaling idea. I've leveled twenty-six characters so far and I think I've only completed every zones once for Loremaster and some others once more the very first time I leveled so most of them will feel like new content in the second half of each zone leveling a Dark Iron Dwarf or another allied race when the expansion comes about.Comment by JerneI'm so happy about this. I've wanted zone scaling for years, even before Gw2 introduced it. Very awesome, I love this so much!Comment by MidnightWolf8I'm glad Val'anyr is getting a transmog too, because I got that one a while ago and will finally have a use for it. I hope this patch drops soon, because the zone scaling woould be wonderful considering I have to level a horde character now.
