Incursion in Zul'Gurub PvP Community Event, May 5th

Recommended Posts

One of the best things in WoW is when players get together and do something creative with the game that wasn't designed or planned or intended by the developers, when communities use the World of Warcraft to do interesting things. One such event is coming soon, as there's about to be an incursion of the PvP variety in Zul'gurub, with level 20 characters!

The event takes place on May 5th and is looking like it'll be a whole lot of fun and mayhem, using the entirety of Zul'gurub's architecture for the action, trying to catch and kill the opposing faction's leader. The folks at Wow20 took quite a bit of time and effort to organize the event, so a big thanks goes out to them for investing in the WoW community and creating new and different thing for us to enjoy.

It seems the Alliance is aiming to retake the entire Eastern Kingdoms after their sort-of victory at Lordaeron, and Sylvanas has called the Horde to take a stand in that no longer Hakkar infested Zul. Obviously the only heroes up for this particular task are fresh recruits, as the veterans are off in Zandalar and Kul Tiras fighting tentacled monsters, so level 20ies will have to do the job!

The wallpaper for the event is damn impressive on its own.


As far as specific rules go, the game starts with the attacking team at the entrance of Zul'Gurub while the defending team has to bunker up in the temple of Bethekk. The attackers have to find a way to enter if they want to kill the enemy leader. Everything is allowed: items, toys, consumables and mounts.

As you can see from the glaived fellows above, the event starts this Sunday, May 5th and since it's all level 20ies, anyone can play, regardless of subscription. Just create a new starter account (or use an existing one if ya have it) and get to leveling before Sunday! Those of you that have a subscription can just roll an Allied Race on the day and be ready to go. All you have to do is join the discord so you can be invited to the action:

So NA servers then? Might be worth mentioning that. 

Indeed, it will be on European servers for this event. But our community gathers 228 American players as well, and we plan to do several US events in future. Don't worry, we do both sides!

      We had the opportunity to attend a group interview where developers answered some interesting questions about The War Within.
      Production Director Michael Bybee and Senior Game Designer Sean McCann had a lot to say during the interview, thanks to many great questions from the many WoW community figures asking them!
      Delves:
      Delves will be cross-faction. There will be Warband-bound rewards from Delves. Levels and Gear: 11 difficulty tiers total, with tier 9 and above not offering any new loot, mainly for bragging rights. Tiers 1 and 2 immediately selectable, 3 at max level, 4-11 when season 1 starts. There might be higher tiers as well, some possibly with just a boos room. Included in the Great Vault; gear for Tiers 8-9 equivalent to Mythic+5. Most delves will have static maps, with the dynamic part being enemy spawns, treasures and similar. The rotation of these dynamic changes are currently on a daily basis, but that may change as it's still being decided. Unlimited entries, but restrictions on the number of rare and epic keys. No downscaling in higher tier Delves, they can be outgeared. Companions: Brann progresses up to level 50, advancements shared with your Warbound. Brann is the companion for Season 1, with different companions planned for future seasons.
      Warbands:
      No account-wide gold, but you will be able to deposit your gold to the Warband bank, where other members can take it out. Double click to log in Warband chars should be available, but not 100% sure yet. No plans to add more than 4 characters in Warband screen. Unclear if there will be additional poses and other options for the Warband screen, it's still being discussed. Events
      More Holiday event updates, as there is now a "Live Team" that only focuses on the ongoing events in the game, including adding new ones like Azeroth Archives. Each zone will have its own world event, and the Hallowfall one is particularly special (no details shred though). Itemization:
      Discussions about Legendaries are not ready to be disclosed. Aiming to broaden the sources for acquiring class sets in The War Within. Game Mechanics and Systems:
      Archaeology: Not included at the launch of The War Within. Dragonriding: Leaderboards considered for future updates but not confirmed. Professions:
      NPC work orders for professions, mostly for skilling up.
      Raids and Mythic+:
      Heroic week is coming back! Mythic difficulty will unlock a week after the raid releases once again. Dungeon rotations from season to season will remain, as well as adding old ones in to the rotation. Plans underway to enhance the soloability of Battle for Azeroth raids; details to be announced. Mythic system has been reset: Mythic +10 is now the starting point. Discussions ongoing for more affix combinations; no new affixes announced yet. Raid testing coming later on in the Beta. Engine and Feature Updates:
      Major updates include the Warbands system and improved ocean visuals at Isle of Dorn. Overhaul of the Group Manager to simplify group coordination. Follower Dungeons available from the start for leveling, allowing dungeons to be part of the zone story; potential expansion to include Follower Raids based on player feedback. Early Access and Launch:
      Set to start at the end of the week with a Tuesday game launch. New raid opening delayed to prevent early access advantages, ensuring no unfair benefits from the most expensive pre-order options. Customizations:
      No new glyphs for character customization at launch, with a commitment to add more customization options throughout the expansion. An idea for sharable links/codes for transmog setups was mentioned, and while they did not confirm it was being worked on, there was a seeming hint that it may be, even with the code showing where to get parts you're missing from the transmog set. Feedback and Development:
      Evaluating player feedback on Brann’s performance in Delves and overall class balance in the Alpha.

      Here are the bosses we'll face in the first War Within raid Nerub-ar Palace and the item level of loot!
      The raid features many Nerubian boss and has a Heart of Fear vibe.
      Ulgrax the Devourer
      Driven mad by endless hunger, Ulgrax is the ravenous protector of Queen Ansurek's court.

      The Bloodbound Horror
      In the dark pits below Nerub-ar Palace, the blood of the Old Gods congeals in foul, black pools. The Bloodbound Horror rises from this vile ooze - drawing everything in its path into The Unseeming

      Sikran, Captain of the Sureki (no model yet)
      Born into a noble family, Silkran established himself as an arrogant duelist within Queen Ansuerk's court. Never knowing the cut of an enemy's blade, Sikran dispatched his rivals one-by-one and was proclaimed Captain of the Sureki by the queen herself. This indomitable fighter now ensures that any who threaten the throne fall before its might.
      Rasha'nan
      Twisted by Queen Ansurek's experiments, Rasha'nan was transformed from a proud nerubian into a monstrous winged horror. Trapped within her new form, shattered memories of her former self drive Rasha'nan into an unquenchable rage.

      Eggtender Ovi'nax
      Deep within the bowels of the queen's palace, Eggtender Ovi'nax conducts abominable experiments with the black blood found in Azj-Kahet. This corpulent horror lumbers through the palace's cavernous depths, regurgitating inky sludge onto hatchlings to observe its gruesome effects.

      Nexus-Princess Ky'veza
      Nexus-Princess Ky'veza arrived at Nerub-ar Palace only recently, quickly establishing herself as a confidante of Queen Ansurek. However, rumors abound within the inner court that she may harbor a dark and deadly secret. If discovered, the princess is prepared to dispatch all witnesses without mercy...

      The Silken Court
      Scarab Lord Anub'arash and Skeinspinner Takazj are among Queen Ansurek's most trusted advisors. Yet, these two powerful nerubians harbor a hatred for each other even more powerful than their loyalty to the throne. While unleashing their considerable strength onto their enemies, each is also fighting to ensure their counterpart does not survive.

      Queen Ansurek
      After a revelation of traitors in her court, Queen Ansurek decides she must eradicate the palace's invaders herself. However, paranoia over whom she can trust gnaws at her psyche. With her allies dwindling Queen Ansurek may delve into dark powers to attain victory, even if that means her most loyal soldiers become her next meal...

      Item Level of Loot from Nerub-ar Palace Bosses
      Raid Finder Difficulty: Item Level 571-580 Normal Difficulty: Item Level 584-593 Heroic Difficulty: Item Level 597-606 Mythic Difficulty: Item Level 610-619 Very Rare Drops
      Raid Finder Difficulty: Item Level 580 Normal Difficulty: Item Level 593 Heroic Difficulty: Item Level 606 Mythic Difficulty: Item Level 619
