Same islands, differ in outcome every time

When reaching an island, it will be like a puzzle in front of you.

Cannons

Will you take over the capture point up at the top of the hill that gives you access to a couple of powerful cannons, that  allows you to cannon fire things as you make your way across the rest of the island.

Next time you come to the island, the cannon is probably in a different spot. But you know what it does, and you know how it can help you in the rest of the island. That will change how you strategically play your way through that island.

Primitive Huts

When you come to an island, it will always feel a little bit different each time you do these scenarios.  
Each time you land on an island there will be a story
You might show up on an island with primitive huts.
There are loads of different creatures that can show up at primitive huts.
These creatures come in:

  • Different groupings
  • Different difficulties
  • Different amounts of Azerite.
  • Different consumables

Shrines

There are also shrines that gives buff and extra difficulty, gives dmg and reduce armor.
The buffs you get from shrines will differ and will sometimes be even cursed.

Faction Champions

You are not the only one that wants Azerite.
Your opposite faction also wants it.
You complete objectives and race against advanced 3 AI opponents to see who gets it first.
These AI opponents are champions of the opposite faction that comes in 3 as well.
These champion NPCs differ every time as well, you can meet sneaky rogues, mages, shaman, etc.
