Blizzard, please add a great time syncs to this next phase. With STV going to be the new pvp zone, please add some sort of rep grind with blood sail buccaneers, with pirate themed loot that has a great BIS epic at exalted and rare items for revered, green for honored. These quests at each step should require certain loot or quest items like there was for Cenarion Circle.
Vanilla WoW should have long term efforts and great rewards. Phase 1 was alittle too fast rewarding with Sergeant rank being able to be hit with 1 week of pvp and with 3 day lockouts for raid.
Having in game objectives that take time and are high rewarding made Vanilla so great!
The rep grind will be with Arathi Basin, like how now we have Warsong Outriders.
PvP items are the reward, and yeah we’ll have more rankings too instead of just rank 3.
I’d love more, I really would, but so far SoD has been ‘the bare minimum’.
A new 10-man raid, a PvP event, and an unbalanced rune system, each phase, and that’s basically SoD in a nutshell.
Wish we could have troll druids or something like that, that’d set it apart from Classic, because imo, it’s not different enough. Would’ve loved Cata class combos, at least.
You know what, that might be the possible relation to the blood moon stuff going on there. I was thinking it might have to do with Hakkar, but it is possible that it might be related to the Bloodsail Buccaneers too.
wow man yea i log in everyday like omg sod is just vanilla with no spice except for all these new things that are not in vanilla. You know what would really shake things up? Gnome paladins. That would really shake things up for the game.
May I ask, assuming the Blood Moon is a real in-game event and not just marketing, how might the Bloodsail Buccaneers, a ragtag group of at best apprentice spellcasters and warriors, be able to turn the moon blood red? In my opinion, it has to be Hakkar behind the blood moon
Maybe it is Hakkar behind the Blood Moon, but he’s branched out from trolls a bit and has managed to corrupt and infiltrate the Bloodsail Buccaneers. So its the Bloodsail we find ourselves facing or maybe being duped into working for, but with Hakkar the big bad behind all of them. Seeing as he’s a lvl 60 raid boss and everything, he would need patsies/intermediaries for us to interact with instead probably.
Not that I actually believe this is how it will be. But it’d be cool if it was!
It’s in the nature of the origin of their name which is very simple. They are the Bloodsail pirates because of the violent and bloodthirsty nature of the pirates. They are the mortal enemy of the Booty Bay pirates and they clash often.
There are some pirate mythologies related to the blood moon, but I would agree something of that kind of phenomena would sound like it makes more sense to relate to Hakkar. However, my only argument to that is a Blood Moon has never been associated with Hakkar.
It could very well just be a euphonism to suggest a bloody night incursion we might be fighting against the pirates as well as the opposing faction to claim their goods.
Does leave a lot to the imagination but we’ll see next month.
