Разработчики опубликовали небольшую заметку, в которой рассказали о Тол Бараде в Cataclysm Classic. Основное PvP-событие этого острова будет превращено в периодическое поле боя 80 на 80 вне открытого мира, а в период затишья игроки смогут выполнять многочисленные ежедневные задания для развития отношений с новыми фракциями.

• По аналогии с Битвой за Ледяные Оковы из Wrath of the Lich King Classic, в Cataclysm Classic Тол Барад будет превращен в отдельное сражение в виде поля боя 80 на 80. Битва за Тол Барад будет проводиться раз в 2,5 часа, и поучаствовать в ней сможет до 80 персонажей за каждую фракцию. Победившая фракция получит доступ к дополнительным локальным заданиям и иным занятиям на Полуострове Тол Барад до начала следующего сражения.
• На Тол Бараде также присутствует рейд Крепость Барадин, который откроется чуть позднее после запуска 9 сезона (скорее всего с общим запуском рейдов).
• За участие в сражении игроки будут получать очки Чести и Рекомендательные значки Тол Барада, что можно тратить на предметы экипировки, транспорт и другие награды у интендантов фракций Батальон Адского Крика и Защитники Тол Барада.
• Вне основного острова игроки смогут выполнить по 12 ежедневных заданий каждые сутки вне зависимости от того, кто удерживает сам Тол Барад, получая за это опыт, золото, репутацию и Рекомендательные значки Тол Барада.

Cataclysm Classic: Battle for Control of Tol Barad

An island off the coast of the Eastern Kingdoms, Tol Barad is a historic land sought-after by the leaders of the Horde and the Alliance. Its strategic, isolated location makes it an ideal stronghold from which to conduct military strikes. In World of Warcraft®: Cataclysm Classic™, a battle will be waged to seize control of this prized territory. Should you triumph, unique rewards await you. 

The Fight for Tol Barad

Similar to Wintergrasp in Wrath of the Lich King Classic™, Tol Barad will serve as an 80 vs 80 battleground. The winning faction will gain access to a hub on Tol Barad Peninsula to complete daily quests before the next battle begins. Reachable by portals in Stormwind and Orgrimmar, or via a level-85 mage teleport or portal, Tol Barad will accept up to eighty players per faction to engage in brutal combat across the island's surface. Battles will take place every two hours and thirty minutes, giving the offensive faction a chance to claim territory.

Tol Barad will feature capture-point gameplay. There are three keeps and three towers for the defending side to hold. When destroyed by the attackers, each tower will add five minutes to the standard fifteen-minute battle timer. In order to win, though, all three keeps must be captured and controlled by the attackers. If these keeps cannot be taken by the attacking forces, the defending faction will claim victory in Tol Barad. Similar to Eye of the Storm, Tol Barad determines whether a keep has been captured by the number of players from each side in the immediate area. There is, however, a twist: each time a member of your faction is killed in the immediate vicinity of a keep, a slider bar will move slightly in favor of the opposing faction. So not only does the size of each force in the area determine who controls each keep, but losing allies during the contesting process determines control as well.

In order to destroy the defenders' towers, attackers will have access to an all-new type of war machine: Abandoned Siege Engines. Six of these Siege Engines will be placed around the map, and these vehicles can be used to bombard the towers. In contrast to the Siege Engines of Wintergrasp, these machines cannot attack players or buildings while the vehicles are being driven. Instead, players must drive them within range of a tower and jump out, allowing the vehicle to transform into an automated cannon that can lay siege to the tower. The Abandoned Siege Engine will continue to damage the closest tower in range until the machine is destroyed by opposing forces.

To the Victor Go the Spoils

Players who win the battle for Tol Barad will be awarded honor points in addition to Tol Barad commendations. These commendations can be used along with new reputations as currency with special vendors who sell rare and epic items, mounts, and more.

Baradin Hold Ahead

Similar to the Vault of Archavon, Tol Barad will give players a chance to form a raid and best foul beasts locked within Baradin Hold for precious rewards when it goes live at a later point after the PvP Season 9 start.

Questing for a Living

Aside from the battle to control Tol Barad, there are many quests available to both factions just off of the main island on Tol Barad Peninsula. Members of the Horde will assist Hellscream's Reach, an all-new faction vying for control of Tol Barad. At odds with the Horde are Baradin's Wardens, an Alliance faction also seeking to command the territory. Twelve unique quests will be offered daily and are available to both factions regardless of which controls the battleground. Completing these quests will award experience, gold, and Tol Barad commendations. By accomplishing these tasks, players will learn of the perilous inmates held within the prison on Tol Barad, as well as why this isolated land is of significant importance to Hellscream's Reach and Baradin's Wardens. In addition, increasing reputation with these new factions will grant access to incredible rewards.

With so much at stake in the wake of the Cataclysm, Tol Barad will be fiercely sought-after by the Horde and the Alliance, but it's up to you to help determine which side makes this island the next great military port of the Eastern Kingdoms.[Источник]

Весёлое событие было. И прожектор классный

[fokoine]

Это было 15 лет назад, с ума сойти. Примерно такая же разница, как между выходом и моим первым просмотром назад в будущее

Хоть раз смогу поучаствовать тут нормально - Свежеватель Душ и Гордунни в своё время такой возможности не давали.

Тол Барад одно из лучших полей боя!
Помню, был персонаж Ветерок кажется с сервера Страж Смерти, в качестве РЛа.
Мы все бегали из одной точки в другую как одна большая слаженная команда.
Конечно, при этом мыы победили.
