Talk: Assaults

Move page and related to categories to N'Zoth Assaults

In-game UI uses the name "N'Zoth Assaults". We used UI names even for lore articles like Argus Campaign, and I think it would be a nice counterpart for Legion Assaults and Faction Assaults. Thoughts? -- Mordecay (talk) 11:26, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

The quests just call it "Assault" and most of the assaults don't even involve N'Zoth. — SurafbrovWowpedia administrator T / C 11:38, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Or perhaps they're all working with N'Zoth? Patch 8.3.0 notes state that the aqir at least are. This is a mix bag. — SurafbrovWowpedia administrator T / C 11:48, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Ah good point! Think the tol'vir and mogu don't serve N'Zoth. And yes, quests actually use their own Assault names like Aqir Assault and Amathet Assault or even N'Zoth Assault. -- Mordecay (talk) 11:57, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

So "N'Zoth Assaults" are actually a sub-category of the greater "Assaults" feature? Xporc (talk) 12:24, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

The patch notes refer to the assault with N'Zoth forces as "The Black Empire Assault". So no. The UI calls this whole thing "N'Zoth Assaults" which is just technically wrong when the Mogu and Amathet, lorewise, never worked with N'Zoth. (Additionally the Amathet here wants to erase all life on Azeroth, including the Old Gods since it has gone off the rails. This is supported by  [50] Shared Goals.) IMO, I think it is fine to refer to these Assaults as N'Zoth Assaults when talking about it along with the Faction (8.1.0 assaults) and Legion assaults, but overall, that terminology doesn't make sense here and the UI reference is just a Blizzconsistency. — SurafbrovWowpedia administrator T / C 12:33, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Well, if you are asking for sub-category depending on which quest/assault version is up, then you would be right. -- Mordecay (talk) 13:01, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
