Game Play & Systems
Order of the zones: None
- An open world to explore - scaling zones
- Carve own path
- Recover Pillars of Creation
- Play with friends
- Suramar awaits at 110
We scale the world, not the player. Seamless UI & combat integration. Itemization follows suit. Artifact keeps you ahead of the curve.
Endgame - Keep player agency. Free-form gameplay but a sense of purpose. A vehicle for storytelling. Structure, but not a sense of compulsion. Make sense of the entire world.
World quests that add to artifact power. They are available for a few minutes, a week, or a few hours.
Variety: Garrison for players! Reputation specific missions. PvP objectives. World raid bosses. Profession missions. Minigames.
