The players were surprised by this sudden quest, but at the same time, they were also very excited.
In the previous games, although everyone was doing quests, it did not affect each other.
For example, if a team destroyed the Black Temple, the others would still fight, and if Illidan got the first kill, he would still stay there. To put it simply, everyone's progress in the game belonged to them. No matter how good you were at fighting, it could not affect the world itself.
Even if you killed Arthas, Illidan, and Gul 'dan, the world would still be invaded by the Scourge and attacked by the Burning Legion, and the Outland would still be under Illidan's rule.
To put it bluntly, apart from fighting dungeons, there was basically no impact.
But now it was different!
Their choices actually had a real-time impact on the game world!
Through the communication between each other on the forum, the players all discovered this. Ever since this quest was released, there was no situation where only players who completed the quest in advance could receive a quest notification, and players who did not complete the quest could still do it step by step. On the contrary, players who did not complete the previous quest could no longer find those NPCs. Only when they went to Nagrand would they find that they had gathered in front of a huge, constantly spinning crystal and were issuing new quests.
The previous collection quests could no longer be completed!
This caused many new players to complain, but for many players, it was a pleasant surprise. This was the first time they had encountered an event that could really affect the progress of the entire game world, and it immediately increased their interest. For a moment, many players went online and began to make a choice.
To be honest, for many players, this was really a bit of a difficult choice.
Some of the players raised the banner of "appearance is justice" and joined the Pale Blue Fleet. There were also many players who considered their origins and chose the Alliance and Horde.
Apart from these two types of extremists, the others were more or less indecisive.
The players who paid attention to the plot were still discussing whether the Pale Blue Fleet was the protagonist's faction or the antagonist's faction, while the players who paid attention to benefits were still considering which side they would benefit more from, or which choice they would make to lose more. Therefore, they would rather see the other people's choice first before making a decision.
The result that the latter wanted was soon revealed. Not long after, a player posted that after joining the Pale Blue Fleet's faction, all their Reputation with the faction had become hostile, and they could not return home at all. Even if they used their Hearthstones to return to the city, they would be beaten to death by the guards.
On the other hand, if he chose his original Faction, not only would his Reputation with all the factions in his original Faction increase, but he would also be able to purchase Mounts at a very low price. The only loss was that they had entered a hostile state with the Pale Blue Fleet, and it seemed that there was no hope for the next mission.
With that in mind, most of the players who were fence-sitters made up their minds. Most of them chose to stay in their original faction. There were only a few players who were looking for excitement or had long since maxed out their Reputation with other powers and obtained everything they wanted. They were just bored and had nothing better to do.
As for the organized guilds, for safety reasons, they didn't choose to jump to the Blue Fleet's side.
However, at this time, on the GNA forum, a player who liked to study the plot made a post titled "Don't you guys think this mission is a little strange?"
In the post, the player analyzed the situation as follows.
"To be honest, I didn't read the mission description carefully at first, but after I read it carefully, I found it a little strange. Everyone has probably done the Pale Blue Fleet's mission, and I've done it too. From beginning to end, they're just entrusting us, the 'adventurers', to collect and collect some items. These items are also needed by other missions or NPCs. According to the Pale Blue Fleet, they're only here to investigate the ecological environment of this world, and in fact, that's what they're doing …. "
At this point, the player changed the topic.
"However, the reaction of the Horde and the Alliance is very thought-provoking. Logically speaking, the Alliance and the Horde shouldn't care about this kind of neutral force, just like the Astral Financial Group. Neither the Alliance nor the Horde would provoke them. If it were the Draenei, they would be solicited by both sides. But their reaction to the Pale Blue Fleet was very fierce. Not only that, but if you look carefully at the mission description, you'll find a strange problem …. The Horde and the Alliance say that the Pale Blue Fleet is invading their world, and they're fighting to protect the world, but …. "
At this point, the player himself was obviously very confused.
"But this is the Outland. Everyone has done the storyline mission, so you should know that both the Alliance and the Horde came here through the Dark Portal. Strictly speaking, we're also invaders to the Outland. What right do we have to protect the Outland from being invaded by others? "
This post, unsurprisingly, attracted the interest and discussion of many players.
"Now that you mention it, I think it's a little strange too. The Outland isn't Azeroth. Why are the Alliance and the Horde reacting so fiercely?"
"I don't think the Pale Blue Fleet did anything wrong. If I were to go to another planet to do an ecological survey and was chased for no reason, I definitely wouldn't talk to you properly. I would've taught you a lesson first."
"Is there something wrong with the Alliance and the Horde bosses?"
"I was hesitating at first, but now it seems that joining the Pale Blue Fleet is the right way to go!"
"Stop messing around, the battle is about to start!"
Following this reply, the players who were still watching the show immediately returned to the game. Only then did they find that the Alliance and the Horde had actually gathered a large army and were marching towards Nagrand. The players' quest had also been updated to follow the army to the assembly point of Nagrand.
There was no point in saying anything else. If it was still the same quest format as before, then everyone would just do their own thing and not be afraid of wasting time. However, the situation was different now. This was a real-time event, and there was no way they could miss this opportunity. Therefore, the players quickly made their choice and went to the assembly point.
The players who had joined the Pale Blue Fleet arrived at Voshugu, where the maidens were already waiting. The players also saw four huge crystal towers floating around them. As soon as the players who chose to join the Pale Blue Fleet entered the map, they immediately received a quest.
The quest was to protect the four Crystal Towers from being destroyed.
Almost at the same time, the Alliance and Horde players also received their quests.
That was to destroy the Pale Blue Fleet's Crystal Towers.
The battle almost instantly began.
Although the majority of the players who chose the Alliance and the Horde, the players who chose the Pale Blue Fleet were not easy to deal with either. More importantly, the players who chose the Pale Blue Fleet had almost completed the previous rounds of investigation quests. They had already changed their main weapons, and some of them had even started to farm battle armor. Whether in terms of firepower or defense, the two sides were not on the same level.
Therefore, a group of Paladins and Warriors could often be seen charging at the Crystal Towers, only to be swept away by the Pale Blue Fleet's players with their assault rifles, sniper rifles, or automatic rifles. These poor guys were killed on the spot. It was even faster than lining up to be executed. The range of the Hunters was not even as far as these weapons, so they could not hit the Crystal Towers at all. Although the magic of the Mages was somewhat effective, the Psionic Field of the Crystal Towers weakened them by one-tenth. The players who were hit by the Pale Blue Fleet only lost a single digit of HP.
On the other hand, the players of the Pale Blue Fleet were addicted to using advanced technology to bully the natives of the Middle Ages. Regardless of whether they were NPCs or players, they were all killed by the Pale Blue Fleet's attacks. Their Honor Points skyrocketed, and the spectators were green with envy.
Finally …!
"Boom!!"
Just as another group of players was about to charge together with the NPC army, a burst of fire suddenly erupted from their formation and engulfed the NPC Orc army along with the players.
"What the hell, what the hell is this?"
Seeing this, many players were shocked. They hurriedly looked forward and saw that a … heavy tank had appeared on the opposite side?!
That's right, it was a grenade hidden in the crotch. With the advantage of being a Hunter, he harvested a lot of Honor Points and exchanged for the "Scorpio" heavy tank that he wanted the most in the Pale Blue Fleet camp!
Seeing this, the players on the opposite side immediately exploded.
"F * ck! How the f * ck are we supposed to fight?! "
"Is this a vehicle too? Are you f * cking kidding me? "
"My Arcane Missiles only dealt single-digit damage? Is this a f * cking vehicle? It must be a boss!! "
However, for these players, the nightmare had only just begun.
The exchange of a grenade hidden in the crotch also served as a reminder to the players of the Pale Blue Fleet. They also went to the girls and exchanged their Honor Points for various vehicles. Many shameless players even chose to exchange for Wraith Fighters. Not only could they fly in the sky, they could even fire!
This time, the Alliance and Horde players were completely dumbfounded. Although they also had flying vehicles, their flying vehicles did not know how to attack!
Soon, the players who were hovering over the battlefield were killed by the Wraith Fighters. The others who were lucky enough to survive quickly chose to flee. On the other hand, the players on the ground were in a miserable state. The players piloting the Wraith Fighters were firing at them from a low altitude. The players were so angry that they couldn't hit them or escape. They were so frustrated that they became Glory players.
Time ticked by. Although the Alliance and Horde NPC legions kept spawning, the players still could not hold on.
Finally, under the protection of the players of the Pale Blue Fleet, the brilliance of the four Crystal Towers reached the peak, then gathered together and shot straight into the sky.
At the next moment, along with a flash of golden radiance, a massive metal warship that spanned across the sky appeared in front of everyone.
"I've gone there …"
At this point, the players on both sides were completely dumbfounded.
"How the f * ck are we supposed to fight?!"
Looking at the metal warship in front of them, one of the Alliance players threw away the weapon in his hand. Not far away, the Horde players did the same. Only the NPC legions were still marching forward like robots carrying out orders.
The next moment, dazzling lasers shot out from the huge pitch-black cannon and swept across the entire grassland.
