Azeroth’s champions have faced many great foes. Even as a new threat from the Void looms on the horizon, there yet remains a foe they do not face often: each other.
Dragonflight’s latest content update, Plunderstorm (10.2.6) – now live – invites players to the familiar lands of the Arathi Highlands to duke it out and see who comes out on top in a limited-time, pirate-themed, battle royale-inspired event. A few things players can look forward to:
• Battle (or hide from) opponents and scour the map to find abilities to level up during the match
• As is tradition for battle royale experiences, the last one standing on a shrinking map will be declared the winner, but everyone who participates will make progress on reward tracks.
• Abilities are stackable up to rank 3 (epic); additionally, epic level abilities can be discovered in high-value rare NPC encounters and treasure chests.
• The user interface and abilities are unique to this experience.
• Open to ALL active WoW Players
• Whether through applied game time or an active subscription, any active WoW player will be able to play which includes WoW Classic players.
• Non-Dragonflight players will need to download and install the modern game client, but purchase of the latest expansion is not necessary as Plunderstorm will be accessed from a special toggle on the character select screen.
• Solo and Duo modes will be available; players can add a friend from their Battle.net friends listing on the Plunderstorm character screen.
• Battle.net Account-wide Progress
• Players will make their way through Keg Leg Crew renown track up to level 40 and progress can be made on any account that falls under a single Battle.net account.
• Rewards for both Modern and WoW Classic Players
• Both groups of players will be able to earn a new parrot mount and pet as part of the event.
• Additional transmog rewards will be earnable for modern WoW players.
• Season 4 PTR begins this week
• Content update 10.2.6 is running a little bit differently than previous updates. Players will see Season 4 updates hit the public test realm this week and will launch in a few weeks. Check out the In-Development forums for more information on Season 4.
