few days after the start of the third stage of Elemental Invasion, began the fourth and final phase of that event pre-cataclysm. Stormwind and Ironforge (Orgrimmar for the Horde and Thunderbluff) have been attacked by the elemental fire and water.
I must admit I was a little 'disappointed by this last phase. While the storm of rain and lightning, and the people who evacuated the city were well chosen, the basic number and size were not afraid of anyone. If Blizzard wanted to make it look like Stormwind in real danger, he should at least make them bigger, and perhaps put the mini-boss here and there. Instead they decided to enter the mini-boss in the portals that opened in the city saved, just to extend the event with a poor sort of revenge attack. He was undoubtedly the most boring and not very successful event, there was always waiting in line to get into power one of the old istance where he was placed in a general strength of the elementary school.
A couple of tips for Blizzard, the next time you want to make a decent event:
- dubbing for the characters: the cries of the people evacuated, guards shouting orders, children screaming.
- Involvement of heroes: what was the king while the attack took place? Place it in the middle of the battle and shouting insults against the enemy. Maybe even do harm and bring strength to the castle as he shouts, "Nah, I want to fight.." Or make Anduin participated in the battle, now is great and it can be assumed to be capable of fighting. In short, put a bit of plot, events!
- elementary waves advancing: the primary should not be scattered handfuls here and there. Must be large groups unstoppable. There must be gates that break barricades and exploding in their path, they must win a lot of ground before being stopped at the gates of the castle of Stormwidn by heroic action.
- (optional) optional point it's hard to realize: the buildings burn and collapse. Maybe at the right time by pressing and blocking the way to elementary school, giving time to the guards and heroes to regroup.
Before the Battle (phase 1)
start the event. A great storm broke out, the sky turns gray, Lightning fall with frequency. Erunak went to the captain of the guards in the Trade Center discrict and says the storm is a clear sign of an imminent attack by elemental forces, the captain is reluctant to believe him but it appears that Anduin Erunak order to do as he says, evacuate all citizens in the safest place to Stormwind Castle. In this part players can take on different roles: helping people to reach the castle, a national alert, or prepare barricades. A timer signal how much time remains before the attack. The choice of this role is to determine what you choose to accept the captain of the guards. If you choose the task of helping people need to evacuate: to bring missing children and weeping at the castle, to help people to stumble to his feet, dragging old who do not want to leave the house. If you decide to carry out the task to warn the citizens, need to turn the city sounding the alarm (a kind of bell that is provided as an object of this) and knock on doors. The task of preparing barricades is similar to what was there in the real game, but the barricades are made of wood boards you take the batteries ready for the city and leave it in the points above (which are the transitions between one district to another).
battle begins (Stage 2)
All players must return to the Trade Distric, who is out is beamed inside. A portal is the entrance to the district, many are starting to leave elementary school. Among the primary, there are also mini-boss more than others. In addition to the players in the district there are legions of soldiers, the captain of the guards and Anduin. Anduin shouting the usual things to incite a fight (like "to Stormwind") and start the fight. The primary is too much and forcing the soldiers to retreat, the players who stray too far from the group of NPCs are killed and thrown to the next stage of the retreat. Anduin and the captain of the guards and players lead soldiers outside the Trade Disctric, behind a wooden barricade which was built in the first phase. The close behind them.
Retreat (step 3)
we are near the bridge between the Trade District and Old Town. It 'a kind of meeting point, Anduin, and his troops have just closed the fence behind them. There are many willing soldiers wounded on the ground, more troops that are coming and the players who had died in the second phase are resurrected here. A few seconds you hear the trumpets, comes a band of soldiers accompanying the king. Anduin and Varian will exchange a few words. An example of speech would be: Varian, "Oh son, I told you to stay at the castle, is dangerous, "Varian" Father .. ", Captain of the guards" Sire, your son fought like 10 men. "The speech is interrupted by a noise, the fence was broken and the coming primary. Varian says," All right then , join me in fighting these monsters, and save with Stormwind. "begins a second battle. The primary is defeated, but did not take long looks Erunak. He warns that other websites have appeared in the city. The primary is everywhere.
the castle! (stage 4)
This phase is like a retreat in the second phase, but it lasts longer. You have to follow a group of NPC (composed of King Varian, Anduin, Erunak the captain of the guards, and soldiers), while all around you can see incremental approach from all directions. To make things more exciting, some elementary unable to reach the group but are promptly rejected by one of the characters move with a predetermined (eg, Erunak sends back the elementary waves of water, Varian with a sword). Players who are taken away or stop by the elementary and killed. Resurrected at the next stop. The group arrives at the castle, close a door behind them.
Resist or die (stage 5)
closed the door, Varian announced who called for help, the Allies will come soon. This step is to stand for 10 minutes at the elementary waves. The door is broken, the primary burst into the hall of the castle, the battle begins. At this stage there is' a buff, so that players can not die. At the end of 10 minutes you hear horns sounded, the troops of dwarves, night elves, dwarves and men burst into the castle, kill the last remaining primary. Jaina check including a battle over and exchange a few words with the king. (Such as Jaina ... "just in time, eh?" Varian "thank Jaina are always the best, * laughs *")
finished the event. I jotted down at random, in my opinion But this would be an event infinitely better than Blizzard.
