Battle for Azeroth: Das Startszenario für die Allianz

Battle for Azeroth: Das Startszenario für die Allianz

Nachdem ein Gestern auf dieser Seite veröffentlichte Artikel bereits das kurzzeitig in der Alpha von Battle for Azeroth spielbare Startszenario für die Horde thematisierte, beschäftigt sich dieser Beitrag hier nun mit dem ebenfalls in dieser Testphase ausprobierbar gewesenen Startszenario für alle aufseiten der Allianz spielenden Personen. Das Video zu dieser interessanten Questreihe stammt dabei dann auch wieder von dem hauptsächlich für sein Wissen über die Hintergrundgeschichte von World of Warcraft bekannten YouTuber “Nobbel87, der diese Questreihe aufgrund eines Problems mit der Alpha und der plötzlichen Abschaltung des Szenarios leider nicht komplett durchspielen konnte. Trotz dieser Problematik kann man durch die in den Spieldaten entdeckten Dialoge aber zumindest schon einmal erfahren, wie diese Aufgaben enden, was genau auf die Spieler der Allianz zukommt und welche Schurken es in Kul Tiras zu bekämpfen gibt.

(Spoilerwarnung)

Was den Inhalt des Startszenarios für die Allianz betrifft, so werden die Spieler an der Seite von Jaina Prachtmeer nach Kul Tiras gesandt, um dort als Botschafter ein Bündnis zwischen dieser Seefahrernation und der Allianz auszuhandeln. Leider verläuft das erste Treffen mit der Mutter von Jaina extrem negativ, weshalb die Spieler in einem Gefängnis unter der Stadt Boralus landen und zusammen mit einigen NPCs eine Flucht organisieren müssen. Auch wenn das Szenario in der Alpha zu diesem Zeitpunkt endete, so sprechen die Dialoge aus den Spieldaten dafür, dass die Spieler erst einmal nach Jaina suchen und danach dann Boralus vor einer von Azshara geschickten Flutwelle und dem damit einhergehenden Angriff von Lady Ashvane verteidigen.

Genauere Details zu dem Ablauf des Szenarios findet ihr weiter unten in diesem Artikel.

Ein Video zu dem Szenario:

Der bisherige Ablauf des Szenarios:

Tides of War:

Diese Questreihe startet unter normalen Umständen bei der Anschlagtafel Sturmwind. Aktuell kann diese Questreihe auf dem Testserver aber leider nicht mehr gestartet werden

Anduin Wrynn: Our enemies remain one step ahead of us. We must close that gap.
Anduin Wrynn: The time has come to call upon old allies in distant lands, and to see the true might of the Alliance made whole again.
Anduin Wrynn: Pack your bags and report to Swormwind Keep immediately. You’re heading for Kul Tiras.

Nach der Ankunft in der Burg von Sturmwind findet der folgende Dialog statt:

Lady Jaina Proudmoore: The Horde has just run wild through Stormwind and you want to send me home?!
Lady Jaina Proudmoore: We should head for Zandalar immediately and deliver those animals to justice!
Anduin Wrynn: Underestimating our enemy has already cost us enough lives.
Anduin Wrynn: There is now a more important task at hand, Jaina. Something only you can do.

 

The Nation of Kul Tiras:

Die Reise von Sturmwind nach Kul Tiras startet. Die Spieler begleitet Jaina Prachtmeer in ihre Heimat.

Grand Admiral Jes-Tereth: My king, the Lady Jaina’s ship is ready to set sail.
Anduin Wrynn: Thank you, admiral. This hero will be joining her.
Anduin Wrynn: Kul Tiras must pledge their fleet to the Alliance. Can I count on you, Jaina?
Lady Jaina Proudmoore: I will see it done. I will do anything to defeat the Horde.
Anduin Wrynn: <Sigh.> That is what I am afraid of…

 

Lady Katherine’s Court:

Jaina trifft sich mit ihrer Mutter. Das Gespräch verläuft nicht sonderlich gut, Jaina wird verstoßen und die Spieler landen in dem Gefängnis von Kul Tiras. Sie teilen sich eine Zelle mit dem NPC “Flynn Fairwind”. Das Cinematic für diesen Teil der Questreihe ist leider noch nicht in der Alpha vorhanden.

[IGC – Katherine rejects Jaina and exiles her. Player is arrested.]

A not implemented cinematic plays and the player ends up in a cell with Flynn Fairwind.
“Sail through Boralus main canal & meet Katherine scene.”

 

Out Like Flynn:

Die Spieler müssen Flynn schlagen und auf diese Weise dann eine Schlägerei zwischen den Gefangenen anzetteln. Durch diese Ablenkung können die Helden gemeinsam mit Flynn flüchten.

Flynn: Alright, here’s the plan:
Flynn: Hit me.
Flynn: Come on, hit me.
Flynn: AUGH OH, YOU BRUTE!
Flynn: GUARD! GUARD! HELP! HELP!
Ashvane Jailer: Hey! What’s going on in there?!
Flynn: Quick! Hit that lever!

Die Zellentüren öffnen sich und die Gefangenen fluten die Gänge des Gefängnisses.

Flynn: Riot boys! Give ’em hell!
Flynn: Let’s find the head jailer for this cell block and get his key!
Flynn: Told him he’d regret lockin’ me up. Now where’s my stuff…
Flynn: Ahh, that’s better! I felt naked without these!
Flynn: Let’s get down to the lower levels and look for a way out.

Die Spieler und Flynn fliehen durch die Kanalisation von Boralus.

Flynn: Something touched my leg!
Flynn: Wait wait, no. It was just my other leg. We’re good.

Zu diesem Zeitpunkt müssen die Spieler dem Wärter entkommen und den Lichtern der Wachen ausweichen.

Ashvane Jailer: You! Stop right there!
<Jailer gets eaten by beast.>
Ashvane Jailer: Wh-what?!
Ashvane Jailer: No! Noooo!
Flynn: O…kayyyy…
Flynn: It’s time to go. Our ride should be waiting for us just up the beach.

Ein NPC mit dem Namen “Taelia” rettet die Spieler und Flynn mit ihrem Boot.

Flynn: Right on time, as usual. Thanks for coming on such short notice!
<Get on the getaway boat with Taelia.>
Taelia: We have to stop meeting like this.
Flynn: I know, I know. But I got something BIG on Ashvane.
Flynn: Plus I made a friend! Crime-buddy, Taelia. Taelia, crime-buddy.
Taelia: Wait…I recognize you…
Taelia: You arrived with Jaina Proudmoore! You’re the Alliance emissary!
Flynn: Wait, Jaina’s back? How did that go over with Katherine?
Taelia: You literally just broke the emissary out of an Ashvane prison. How do you think it went?
Taelia: Ashvane won’t be happy about your little stunt. There are probably bounty hunters looking for you as we speak.
Taelia: You’ll be safe in the market though. They wouldn’t dare try anything here.
Flynn: Thanks for the lift, Tae. I’ll see you at the tavern.

 

Get Your Bearings:

Taelia offenbart ihre Zugehörigkeit zum Haus Prachtmeer und informiert die Spieler über die Situation in Kul Tiras,

Taelia: Than you for helping Flynn. I’ve been bailing him out of trouble since we were kids.
My name’s Taelia. I’m with the Proudmoore Guard.
You must be wondering why I’d help you after Katherine turned away the Alliance.
Let’s just say things here in Kul Tiras are a little more complicated than they appear. I’ll get you up to speed soon enough.
For now, let me show you around the marketplace.

Leider endete die Questreihe zu diesem Zeitpunkt plötzlich und Nobell wurde beim Testen automatisch aus der Phase der Aufgabe entfernt. Die in den Spieldaten vorhandenen Dialoge lassen aber bereits ungefähr erkennen, wie die Questreihe weitergehen wird.

The outer wall hosts a marketplace that is second to none. Merchants from all over Azeroth dock here to trade their goods.
For most visitors, the market is all they ever see of Boralus. Beyond the Great Gate lies the city proper, and very few outsiders are allowed inside.

Curse it! We’ll have to continue without him… wait, what is that?
This looks like ice magic… Jaina must have come this way!
We must press deeper into the forest! Form up!
The beasts bar the way. Cut through them!
There appears to be a structure in the distance. That must be where Jaina was headed!So you are allied with house Proudmoore, then? I imagine you’ve come here for news of Jaina, then. There’s no other reason you’d come this far north.

Captain Denholm, I have conscripted these men for a special mission. I order you to stand aside and allow us to pass!
By order of the queen, none shall pass this gate. Not even you.
We don’t have time for this! Soldiers, stand with me!
Enough, I yield!
You can pass, Reade, but the queen will hear of this! You’ll never set foot in Boralus again!
That is a risk I must take, Captain. Soldiers, on me.
Jaina!? She is the purpose of this expedition? But that’s treason!

Here we go, this be the path!
I have a feeling they’re not going to open that gate for us when we return…
We will find a way, Mace, once we find Jaina. Thoughts, Yorrick?
It’s likely she would’ve followed the road to look for shelter.
Very well, that’s where we will begin.

House Proudmoore runs the military. The city guard and marines all answer to Lord Admiral Katherine Proudmoore. Technically, she rules the entire nation.
House Ashvane controls the nation’s wealth. The Ashvane Company holds all of the official state contracts for trade and production.
Pretty much everybody works for them in one way or another. Even the gangs.

The Alliance is prepared to offer a large reward for Jaina’s return.
Jaina’s jailers arrived here only a few days ago to carry out her exile. If we hurry, we may be able to find her before it’s too late.

Jaina! I never lost faith that when the hour grew darkest, you would stand with us once more.

Die folgenden Dialoge offenbaren einige weitere Informationen über Lady Ashvane und ihre Verbindung zu Azshara.

Looks as if Boralus is already in its death throes.
Remember, the primary objective is recovering Lady Ashvane’s weapons.
Though while we’re here, may as well see what other treasures we can find.
I’ll circle above and call out anything that looks interesting.
I’ve spotted one of Kul Tiran’s finest rallying his troops in the courtyard ahead.
Defeating him will cause disorder among their ranks, making it easier for you to move through the city.
Ha! Look at them scatter. Without their leadership, these humans are worthless.
I’ve spotted Lady Ashvane in the next district. Hurry and you may be able to cut her off.I will never surrender the city to you, Ashvane.
Surrender? Ha! You misunderstand, my lady. I want you to watch while your city burns.
Why would I save a failure, Ashvane?
I see now that entertaining her delusions of taking this city were a waste of my efforts, a mistake I will now gladly rectify.
You will serve as an example of what happens to those who invoke my wrath. Let Azeroth tremble at my power!
Lord Admiral, we must get you to safety now! A massive tidal wave is approaching the city!

So Lady Ashvane is in league with Azshara? Interesting. Though it changes little about our objective.
You’ll have to remove that beast from your path if you hope to catch Ashvane.
I’ve spotted Ashvane’s entourage crossing the bridge. In order to catch them you’ll need to remove a pair of troublesome naga from your path.
Ashvane has retreated to the castle and has nowhere left to run. Time to end this hunt.
Well done claiming the azerite weapons, but we need to move quickly.
A tidal wave is rushing towards the city. It’s time to leave Boralus to its fate.
