5/30/2023 0 Comments Defense zone 2 hellfireHolinka, the current PvP designer, hinted via Twitter that the map might be finalized and released. except covered in snow! It seems completely finished, and doesn't seem to have any changes other than visually. SmallBattlegroundB contains Arathi Basin. While the presence of Bladespire Citadel suggests this might be a prototypical Warlords of Draenor battleground, the Gilneas area is somewhat confusing. The Gilneas cutout contains Pandaria models, while the two Bladespire Citadel cutouts have small arenas. SmallBattlegroundA contains a cutout of Battle for Gilneas and two cutouts of Bladespire Citadel. Of the four, only A and B seem to have anything interesting in them. There's four of them in total: SmallBattlegroundA, B, C, and D. Introduced in Warlords of Draenor, these maps seem to be prototypical or unfinished battlegrounds. The Druid order hall gives Druids access to the Emerald Dreamway, a part of the Emerald Dream with portals to various parts of the in-game world. In the Legion expansion, the Emerald Nightmare raid gave players access to a part of The Emerald Dream that can be accessed after defeating the final boss, Xavius. While Blizzard planned to release it as an endgame 40 player raid, this idea never made it to the final game. The Emerald Dream itself is the poster child for important areas in the lore that have yet to make an official appearance in the game. The field area of this subzone is decorated with monstrous statues and dream catcher structures that, like the trees in The Emerald Forest subzone, are used only in this unused map. In the top left corner of the map is a large subzone filled with mountains, canyons, and fields. The bottom left corner of the map is unnamed and similar visually to The Verdant Fields, albeit much smaller. The Verdant Fields, located in the bottom right corner, is filled with nothing but hills and large flowers, though there are also reference markings drawn along the ground in some places. The Emerald Forest, located in the top right corner of the map, is true to its name it's a forest filled with rivers and trees (it's worth noting that the tree models here are only used in this zone) and not much else. Each different area is separated by miles of empty space. The zone itself is extremely large and split mainly into four different parts, though it has only two named subzones: The Verdant Fields, and Emerald Forest. Unfortunately, the minimap in the game's files is very different from what is actually on the map. The minimap is too large to show in a thumbnail it can be seen here. The zone is categorized internally as a raid instance with a cap of 40 players. While it was changed extensively during each pre-release patch, it's remained relatively unchanged since the game's official release. It was first spotted in patch 0.5.5, during the Friends and Family alpha test. The Emerald Dream is a map that's been in the game's files since before the game's release. 1.8 Testing, Scott Test and Collin's Test.
