How Darkspear Islands plays
Your team scores for every capture point it holds, and the more of the four points it holds, the faster the score climbs. The flag in the middle gives extra points when you carry it to a base your team holds. First team to 2,000 points wins.
ConfirmedQueue at a battlemaster in any capital, or at your faction's base in The Barrens: Merchant Coast for the Horde, Northwatch for the Alliance. A portal there takes you into the battle, and the quartermasters of the reputation rewards stand at the same bases.
ConfirmedA match starts with at least 8 players per side since the build of October 8, before it was 1. The most is 15.
Beta dataPlayers played Darkspear Islands in the beta from at least October 6. Blizzard had not announced the opening.
