- 15 vs 15 each faction.
- There are 4 towers and 1 flag.
- Every two seconds, your faction gains 1 victory point for each tower you control. You can control any of the four towers at any time.
- To capture a tower, it's a game of king of the hill. The more people standing at the tower, the faster it caps to your faction.
- Any tower you control also lets your side control the graveyard located at that tower. If you control no towers, your graveyard will be the battleground start point.
- To capture the flag, you must take it to a tower your faction controls. Each flag cap is a bonus 100 victory points.
- First team to 2000 victory points wins!

Note: there are 2 towers on each side of the map, for each faction. However, you can control enemy towers and cap to their side if you want. Controlling all 4 hours gives an additional point, meaning 5 points every 2 seconds.

Got that from Warcraft Movies.

Take in consideration that the flag in Eye of the Storm isn't instant cap, It's like capping a flag in Arathi Basin. So you must provide cover for the teammate capping it. Once you have in your possesion it will show you carrying the flag to all players in the battleground.

After bringing it to a controlled tower and gain your points it will respawn back to its initial position.

This sounds like a pretty interesting BG. The map almost looks as big as AV? I really hope not because that is a lot of running. Does anyone know what the white flag in the middle is for?

Kommentar von 17500

You can't fly in Eye of the Storm, period.

Kommentar von 19329

The rewards are really nice and its a little better than instancing because you dont need to be attuned, i see people with green armor defeat tier 3 in this place and its not hard to imagine, its for the people who are the casual player and cant spend 6 hours raiding everyday.

Your map is reversed. Alliance should be on the north half and Horde on the south half.

Kommentar von SaxxonPike

Actually, I believe the figures are closer to these:

1 Tower - 1 point / tick
2 Towers - 2 points / tick
3 Towers - 5 points / tick
4 Towers - 10 points / tick

Ideally, 4 towers is great because the other team can't even score a flag.

I wish there was a place for this like there is for the other Battlegrounds, like Arathi Basin in the Arathi Highlands, Alterac Vally in the Alterac Mountains, and Warsong Gulch in Ashenvale Forest. This place should also have a starting point so that we can go there for maybe buying additional armor/weapon pieces and potions and bandages. It could be on the outskirts of Netherstorm or something, because that is what it seems to look like and you can obviously only get to it by a flying mount.

One understandable problem with this tho is the fact that all of the other points had caves which lead in to a place that you could not access without actually entering the BG. The problem is that in Netherstorm, we can obviously use flying mounts or forms to see the places without entering the BG.

Just a thought however =D

I don't understand why there are no faction PvP rewards for Eye of the Storm like the other 3 battlegrounds. Maybe at 70 there are enough rewards with the grand marshal / high warlord stuff but it would be nice to have more variety.

Kommentar von 40551

I am pretty certain that the more towers your faction holds the more points you get for a flag capture. I haven't been in Eye of the Storm recently, but I recall players asking the flag carrier to delay a flag cap until they had finished capturing an additional base. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Kommentar von owx1985

Try to org premade...... cap 4 easily and camp your enemies at spawn point !!!

Saw this blog ... saying about premade EOTS

Kommentar von SnobbyBoss

Confirmed. You do get extra points for having more bases captured.

How much bonus honor do you gain for a win, and can you gain any honor even though you loose?

Kommentar von 104412

I didn't see it mentioned, but, tactically speaking, bases first, flag optional. I have played in far too many teams who zerg the flag and ignore def.

Kommentar von 143990

agreed if you can take 3 bases. you will win without ever caping a flag.

Kommentar von 98899

unlike Arathi Basin, all you need to take a base is to have more people than the other people do at that base.
The flag capture works similar to the Towers in East Plaguelands.

eg: Alliance have 4 people at Mage Tower. Horde take 6 people, the "control" bar will slide toward horde.

Kommentar von genericname

I don't know if other people are having this problem with the EoTS community of people, but I find that a lot of them are either blind, or they have a problem with Defence. I've been in plenty of EoTS games where the Horde should have won, hands down. Yet because of a few people who think the Flag is godly on a 3 cap(someone needs to tell them...) There's anywhere from 5 - 10 players in the middle, killing 3 - 4 Alliance in the middle, and we are left to defend against the remaining forces of the Alliance that decimate us.

Also, I don't know if this helps you guys or not. But I find the Alliance generally tends to Zerg Rush Fel Reaver, and then camp flag if Horde can't get their stuff right.

Scoring in EOTS:

Control:
1 tower= 1pt/2sec + 75 per flag
2 towers= 2pts/2sec + 85 per flag
3 towers= 5pts/2sec + 100 per flag
4 towers= 10pts/2sec + 500 per flag

There are many winning strategies, however, there are some basic concepts that need to be mentioned.

While there is a flag in this BG, it should moreso be considered one of the 5 'points' on the map. So think of this map like Arathi Basin, except there are 4 towers and a flag point. You need to control three points to win the game. So you can choose 2 towers and the flag point, or just 3 towers.

Very important point: This battleground is designed so that if you only control one tower that you can *NOT* win by just repeatedly capping the flag. You can chain cap the flag and you will still lose. This was done to prevent a team from simply turtling all of their team at one tower and just running the flag back and forth. To make sure this point is driven home, let's do the math.

A team with 3 towers will net 5 points per 2 seconds. Since you need 2000 points to win, this means you will need 400 'ticks' of 2 seconds, or 800 seconds to win the game on towers alone. A team with 1 tower will net 1 point per 2 seconds. In those same 400 'ticks' of 2 seconds, this team will only net 400 points. So this would mean in the 800 seconds that it would take for the other team to win, this team with one tower would need to cap the flag 22 times in under 800 seconds. Since there is a 10 second cooldown after the flag is captured, this makes such a feat functionally impossible. (If a team was skilled enough to come close to pulling it off, they would be better served putting their skill to work on getting more towers.)

What this means is that if a team only has one tower, they should abandon any attempt to get the flag, and instead work to get more towers. The other team will have an advantage here, but that's the point. If you have three towers, you have the advantage.

When both teams hold two towers, the game then boils down to which team can better control the center - or which team can take one of the opponents towers.

Teams that lose in this battleground usually encounter some or all of the following:
-Lack of communication
-A failure to defend points they hold
-Players who fight on the road when they are not winning
-Players who fight for the flag when they only have one tower

One should note that defense need not be bloated to be effective. One or two people is all you need on a tower so long as they can inform others of incoming enemies and delay them until help arrives. The key is for the rest of the team to respond to the threat. You can either defend the tower under attack, or you can assault an opponent's tower if that is more viable.

Kommentar von 208075

So its like.. Warsong Gulch (the flags) and Arathi Basin (capturing the bases) rolled together?
I'm lvl 40 atm, got another 21 levels until I can do this!
I can't wait!

Kommentar von genericname

I'd have to agree with you, but the idea of it being a AB/WSG mix (As I usually describe it to my friends and they agree to an extent), it's more AB, focusing more on the Tower Caps, and the Flag receives a certain number of points corresponding to the number of Towers you posses. And unlike WSG you don't EVER need to touch the flag to be victorious in Eye. Although with the new achievement system and the 3-4 achievements revolving around said Flag, I'm sure everyone will be at least trying to get the 3 cap without dieing one.

I am a avid Eye player, and I'd like to consider myself pro, although I know I'm not...we can't be gods at everything, now can we?

Either way, I have found myself losing my voice on occasion as I yell at idiots(As I type on the comp, I sometimes say it to myself, just so happens I've done that ... 3 times in Eye) who camp the flag at a 3-1 tower ratio(Alliance Favor). I cannot stress the fact that the Tower is in fact the true way to win in Eye, and I hope you people agree, however with the addition of the flag(Cannot forget the flag). I believe it is there just to speed the game up and not make it another AB(So to speak).

However, this is just my input in the situation.

Kommentar von 130146

Thanks for the great input on victory points. It really drives home the need to control towers, rather than flag.

The typical beginning of this BG is each side gaining control of their respective towers, and one side winning the battle of the middle, i.e., flag. I think it's good to have a strong push to the flag at the beginning, while having teams of 3 or 4 each taking your side's towers. Having an initial flag cap gives your team a lead in points, making your opponents play catch up with their offense...and it's always easier to communicate on defense rather than offense.

Regarding flag-oriented achievements, it seems perfectly acceptable to inform your team of your intentions, and to allow fellow teammates to accomplish their individual goals without sacrificing victory. You'll get your turn.

Communication is always a problem, in any BG, especially when the communication usually comes in the form of attacks and insults...please don't distract me from the game by screaming "NOOB", etc., at whomever didn't do what you wanted them to. There's a learning curve in any BG, and everyone is at different points on that curve. Constructive criticism is good, provided the tone isn't insulting or demeaning....that just leads to more disorganization and poor communication. Can't tell you how many times I've "ignored" someone who wouldn't shut up, even when I agreed with them on principle.

If you've been 3-capped early, don't give up. If you're down 500 points, don't give up. That's what your opponents want. A team that's down that much can buckle down, organize, communicate, and come back to take the victory. I've been on both sides of that equation many times. Usually, however, people give up once they see it's not going to be an easy victory. If you lose, you lose, but at least do it standing up, rather than screwing your teammates!

Jehoiakim made some excellent points, providing us with the "four commandments" or EOTS, so I'm going to repeat what he offered....

"Teams that lose in this battleground usually encounter some or all of the following:
-Lack of communication
-A failure to defend points they hold
-Players who fight on the road when they are not winning
-Players who fight for the flag when they only have one tower"

That about sums it up.

Kommentar von 244954

Seems they changed the levels on this, last night I went into EOTS at level 70. Strange thing is most of players were level 75 and up. I do not remember seeing a level 80 there. Just a heads up.

Kommentar von 284695

strategy:

1)SPREAD!
-ten people killing one feral druid = losing towers

2) try to slow down enemies, provoke them to make groups

3)circle around the BG
-try to ride to enemy towers which are without defence (for example at the other side of their main army)

4) take flags or prevent enemies from taking them

Kommentar von 290222

Does anybody know the level ranges this bg is devided into?
61-70, 71-80
or 61-69, 71-79 and 80?

Kommentar von 346559

It is divided into 61-70, 71-79, and 80.

Kommentar von 303495

Question: I tried to get into EOTS, but it says (holiday) behind it, what does this mean? And why can't I get in? I'm a lvl 65 blood elf pally, so the lvl should be no issue.

Kommentar von 64626

As of 3.2, the time it requires to capture the center flag will be reduced to 8 seconds, down from 10 seconds.

Additionally, the game will end when one team reaches 1600 victory points, down from 2000.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Theres a bridge right in the middle of the two, a land bridge. You probably don't need a flying mount, because you require to be level 61 to enter the BG, level 61's cannot buy a flying mount.

Kommentar von Thottbot

It's basically all the battlegrounds combined into one big giant one... You need resources like AB, you have towers like AV, and you have to capture the flag like WSG. So this is how its gonna happen, you are gonna still flag from tower take it to your base you then capture that tower which gives you resources to win. Not too hard it's own type step by step each BG giving it's own step

Kommentar von Thottbot

The Eye of the Storm BG has aspects from all battlegrounds as said above. It has a flag in the middle which players from each team will try to snatch. To capture a tower, simply stand at the point of the base and wait for the bar to reach the end of your factions section. (Like in EPL PvP towers.) As you keep towers, your team points will add up.There is a 10 second pick-up cast time on the flag like nodes in AB and AV. When your team has the flag, they must return it to a friendly tower to achieve more points. First team to 2000 points wins. There are 3 bridges in this battleground. West, Middle, and East. You do not need a flying mount to win.

Kommentar von Thottbot

guys its 61-69 and lvl 70's for the brackets

Kommentar von Thottbot

1. Work together and communicate.
2. Check your map often to see tower status, and always hold at least 2 towers. This means some will need to play a little D.
3. Contest for the flag. The flag is the key to winning. You'll get far more points capturing the flag whilst having two towers.
4. If not in the lead, concentrate on capping the flag, and defending as much as possible.
5. If in the lead by a signifigant margin, dominate the Alliance (Srry, Horde till I die) by capturing all 4 towers, just don't forget that the flag and holding 2 towers is primary.
6. Re-read step 1.
7. Have fun!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Does anyone know where the entrance to this BG is, and i dont mena the NPC's around the city butthe actual portal that you can enter - i.e WSG has its entrance north of the barrens, AV has its entrance north of Tarren Mill - where the hell is the entrance for this BG?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Does this battleground have any rewards? and where can i buy them?:/

Kommentar von Thottbot

no individual rewards for this BG? such as Defilers, Frostwolf clan, Warsong Ourtriders?

NOT THE HIGH WARLOCK/GNAND MARSHAL REWARDS

the EOS specific rewards? anyone know if there any AT all?

BTW: its a total waste of time to farm for HW/GM items now, i got better itemns just from 70 instances but i wouldnt mind some EOS specific epics if there are any

Kommentar von Thottbot

is there any reason for this to be 61-70?

why not have lower brackets like WSG/AB... can understand why AV is only high level since it involves fighting npcs, but EoS is just zone control and capture the flag.

Kommentar von Thottbot

is there any rep with this BG? i have been in a few times and i havent seem to get reputation for it

Kommentar von Thottbot

THis is what u can buy https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=29024/ehrenabzeichen-vom-auge-des-sturms

Kommentar von Thottbot

How much honor and how many tokens do you get for each win/loss?

Kommentar von Thottbot

is there a pvpvendor for eye and if so where?

Kommentar von Thottbot

what are to cords to the BG starting area?

Kommentar von Thottbot

To win this bg takes cooperation.

if you can capture three towers, and hold them, you'll be earning more points each minute than the other team with one tower and uncontested flag captures. Now if you can hold those three towers and slow their flags or even get a some caps of your own, then you will have guaranteed victory.
just gotta watch for zergs and if you guard against a zerg you gotta watch for ninjas. easy in theory but near impossible cuz only premades listen to any kind of leadership these days.

Kommentar von Thottbot

How long does this BG take?

Kommentar von Thottbot

ok, so 3 towers and you win...simple as that but then you have the morons all going for flag, solution? be first to get the flag and refuse to return it until 3 towers are held =)

Kommentar von Thottbot

this place is fun

Kommentar von Thottbot

Simply enough, on my realm (european server, Auchindoun) ive nearly always played in a premade in Eots so what i can say is if you don't communicate, u might as well not join this battleground. It's not as hard as WSG can be, and is a hell of a lot faster than AV. Though AV rules if you win it...well, lets say Ally on Auchindoun aren't exactly the best at doing that. at all.

1. Get a raid leader who knows what he's doing
2. Make sure everyone sticks to the tactic
3. At least 1 healer per group helps
4. Have a druid cap the flag, don't waste rogues or shamans to cap the flag
5. FRR is the most difficult flag to capture for the alliance and generally the horde will converge at it if they know they will lose, you can attack it and get honour but most likely they are gonna get their fair share of honour as well.
6. Obviously im taking a look at it from an alliance perspective but in general those are the tactics

Have fun :D
