The players were surprised by this sudden task, but at the same time, they were also very excited.
Because in previous games, although everyone was doing tasks, there was no impact on each other.
For example, if a team pushed the Black Temple, others would still fight, and Illidan would stay there after being killed first. In short, everyone's game progress belongs to everyone, and no matter how good you are, you can't affect the world itself.
Even if you have killed Arthas, Illidan, and Gul'dan, this world is still invaded by the Scourge and attacked by the Burning Legion, and Outland is still under the rule of Illidan.
To put it bluntly, apart from playing dungeons, there is basically no impact.
But now it’s different!
Their choices actually had an impact on the game world in real time!
Through mutual communication on the forum, players have discovered that since the release of this quest, it has not appeared that only players who have completed the quest in advance can receive the quest reminder, and players who have not completed the quest can still do it step by step. On the contrary, whether players have completed the previous quests or not, they can no longer find those NPCs. Only when they go to Nagrand, they will find that they have gathered in front of a huge, constantly rotating crystal and are issuing new quests.
And those previous collection tasks can no longer be completed!
This caused many new players to complain, but it was a pleasant surprise for many players. It was the first time they encountered an event that would truly affect the progress of the entire game world, and their interest was immediately piqued. At one time, many players went online and began to make their choices.
To be honest, this choice is a bit difficult for many players.
Some players held high the banner of "appearance is justice" and joined the Blue Fleet, while many others chose the Alliance and the Horde based on their birth.
Apart from these two groups of extremists, everyone else is more or less wavering.
Players who focus on the plot are still discussing whether the Blue Fleet is the protagonist or the villain, while players who focus on interests are still considering which side they will benefit from, or which choice will result in greater losses. So they would rather see what others choose first, and then make a decision.
The result the latter wanted was soon given. Not long after, a player posted a message saying that after he joined the Blue Fleet camp, all the reputations of his original camp became hostile, and he was completely in a state where he had no home to return to. Even if he used Hearthstone to return to the city, he would be beaten to death by the guards in the first place.
On the other hand, if you choose the original camp, not only will the reputation of all forces in the original camp increase, but you can also buy some mounts that would have cost a lot of money at a very low price. The only loss is that you will enter a hostile state with the Azure Fleet, and the next mission seems to be hopeless.
With these, most of the fence-sitters made their decisions, and the vast majority of players chose to stay in their original camps. There were only some lone players who were looking for excitement, or who had already maxed out their reputation with other factions and got what they were supposed to get, and were just bored and had nothing to do.
As for those organized guilds, they did not choose to jump to the Blue Fleet camp for the sake of safety.
However, at this time, in the GNA forum, a player who was interested in studying the plot posted a post titled "Don't you think this mission is strange?"
From the post, this is how the player analyzed it.
"To be honest, I didn't read the mission introduction carefully at the beginning, but after I read it carefully, I found it a little strange. Everyone may have done the mission of the Azure Fleet. I also did it. At least from the beginning to the end, they were just entrusting us 'adventurers' to collect and collect some items. And these things will also be needed by other missions or NPCs. According to the Azure Fleet, they are just here to investigate the ecological environment of this world, and in fact, they did so..."
Having written this far, the player suddenly changed his tone.
"However, the reactions of the Horde and the Alliance are very intriguing. Logically speaking, the Alliance and the Horde should not care about such neutral forces, just like the Star Consortium. Neither the Alliance nor the Horde would provoke them. If it were the Draenei, they would be recruited by both sides. But their reaction to the Azure Fleet was very intense. Not only that, if you look closely at the mission prompts, you will find a strange problem... That is, the Horde and the Alliance said that the Azure Fleet was invading their world, and they were fighting to protect the world, but..."
Having written this, the player himself was obviously confused.
"But this is Outland. Everyone who has done the story missions should know that both the Alliance and the Horde came here through the Dark Portal. Strictly speaking, we are also invaders to Outland. What qualifications do we have to protect Outland from being invaded by others?"
Unsurprisingly, this post aroused the interest and discussion of many players.
"Now that you mention it, I also find it a little strange. Outland is not Azeroth. Why do the Alliance and the Horde react so strongly?"
"I think the Blue Fleet did nothing wrong. If I were to go to another planet to do an ecological survey and was inexplicably hunted, I would definitely not have a good conversation with you. I would definitely give you a good beating first."
"Are the leaders of the Alliance and the Horde both mentally ill?"
"I was still hesitating, but now it seems that joining the Blue Fleet is the right path!"
"Stop posting nonsense, the fight is about to begin!"
Following this reply, the players who were watching the fun immediately returned to the game, only to find that the Alliance and the Horde had gathered a large army and were heading towards Nagrand. The players' tasks were also updated to follow the army and reach the gathering point in Nagrand.
There was no point in talking about anything else now. If it was still the same task format as before, everyone would just do their own thing and not worry about wasting time. But now the situation was different. This was a real-time event. If you missed this opportunity, you would never get it again. So the players quickly made their choices and headed to the meeting point.
The players who joined the Azure Fleet arrived at Oshu'gun, where the girls were already on full alert, and the players also saw four huge crystal towers floating around them. When the players who chose to join the Azure Fleet entered the map, they immediately received a mission.
Protect the four crystal towers from being destroyed.
Almost at the same time, players from the Alliance and the Horde also received their tasks.
That is the crystal tower that destroyed the Azure Fleet.
The battle started almost instantly.
Although the majority of players chose the Alliance and the Horde, the players who chose the Azure Fleet were no pushovers either. More importantly, almost all of the players who chose the Azure Fleet had already completed the previous rounds of investigations, their main weapons had already been replaced, and some of them had even started to brush up on combat armor. Whether in terms of firepower or defense, the two sides were not on the same level.
So you can often see a group of paladins and warriors charging towards the crystal tower, and then the players of the Azure Fleet, each holding a charge, sniper or automatic rifle, sweeping across, killing these poor unfortunates on the spot, faster than being lined up for execution. The hunter's range is not even as far as these weapons, and they can't hit them at all. Although the magic of the mage has some effect, it is also weakened by one tenth under the psionic field of the crystal tower, and the health loss of the players here is almost in the single digit.
The players on the Blue Fleet's side got their fill of using high technology to bully the medieval natives. No matter whether they were NPCs or players, they were all shot to death by them. The honors kept rolling up, making people jealous and excited.
finally……!
"boom!!"
Just as another team of players was about to charge with the NPC army, suddenly a ball of fire erupted from their ranks, directly engulfing the NPC orc army and the players.
"Oh my god, what the hell is this?"
Seeing this, many players were shocked. They looked forward hastily, and only then did they see a... heavy tank coming out from the opposite side? !
That’s right, it was the mine hidden in his crotch. With the advantage of being a hunter, he directly harvested a large amount of honors, and then directly exchanged them for the "Scorpion" heavy tank that he wanted most in the Blue Fleet camp!
Seeing this, the players on the opposing team were immediately furious.
"Nimma! What the hell is this?!"
"Is this also a vehicle? Are you kidding me?"
"My Arcane Missiles only did single-digit damage? This is a vehicle? This is a boss!!"
However, for these players, the nightmare has just begun.
The exchange of the crotch mine also reminded the players of the opposite blue fleet, and they also went to the girls and exchanged various vehicles with honor. There were even many shameless players who directly chose to exchange for ghost fighters - they could not only fly in the sky, but also fire!
The Alliance and Horde players were completely dumbfounded. Although they also had flying vehicles, their flying vehicles could not attack!
Soon, the players who were originally hovering over the battlefield were killed by the Wraiths one after another, and the others who survived quickly chose to flee. As for those on the ground, it was very miserable. The players driving the Wraiths directly fired at them at low altitude, making these players angry that they could neither fight nor escape, and they became frustrated and became an honor.
Time passed by minute by minute. Although the Alliance and the Horde had constantly refreshing NPC legions, the players still couldn't hold on.
Finally, under the protection of the players of the Blue Fleet, the light of the four crystal towers reached its peak, then gathered together and soared into the sky.
The next moment, accompanied by a flash of golden light, a huge metal warship that almost spanned the sky appeared in front of everyone.
"I went over there..."
Seeing this, players from both sides were completely stunned.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Looking at the metal warship in front of him, one of the Alliance players threw away his weapon. The Horde players not far away did the same. Only the NPC army continued to move forward like robots following orders.
The next moment, a shining laser shot out from the huge black muzzle, sweeping across the entire grassland.
