Tiragarde Sound - Music & Ambience - World of Warcraft

The region of Tiragarde Sound serves as the heart of Kul Tiras. Nearly bisected by the capital city of Boralus, the land is rich with wildlife in the hills and mountains to the north and south, and its people enjoy the bounty of the oceans to the south, east, and west. It is a realm of people in touch with both the land and the sea.
You’ll find many more estates and ports to explore throughout Tiragarde Sound. You’ll soon discover the situation among the nobility is becoming explosive, and you’ll need to seek out the source of it all.
To the northwest of Boralus lie the green rolling hills of Norwington Estate, where you’ll be able to delve into Kul Tiran culture, take part in their festival, and embark on a tour. Animal husbandry and horsemanship are important disciplines to the Kul Tirans, many of whom are skilled riders and falconers.
Further north you’ll encounter the Roughnecks, who are responsible for training the gryphons used by the Kul Tirans. You’ll need your cold-weather gear if you plan to trudge into the Waning Glacier and brave the bitter cold winds that blow through its crenellated passages.
While they’re renowned for their naval prowess, the people of Tiragarde Sound are accomplished hunters as well, even going so far as to seek out the terrifying monsters that lurk in the depths of the Great Sea. Those who enjoy a little hunting and fishing will want to visit Kennings Lodge south of Boralus, and there’s plenty of opportunity to seek out game in a land where wild Fjord Mustangs run free-there’s something for everyone here.
Further south, you won’t find a bigger hive of scum and villainy than Freehold. It’s populated by pirates, scoundrels, and those who claim to seek to live free of Kul Tiran control. These scoundrels pose a growing threat to the ruling families of Kul Tiras and are due to be reined in before it’s too late.

You can criticise BfA as much as you want, but the zones and music delivers in every expansion.

[@maestrrsantarael6590]

and in general (zones, dungeons, raids, quests, world pvp) to this expantion are excellent. criticism was due to the fact that there was very little new content after Legion. But the legion brought a lot to the game that will remain in it for a long time. Especially 8.2 is for me the best patch that Blizzard did

[@joekerr9197]

Audio-visually the game was always good, but the content was complete shit. Don't forget that BfA was literally released unfinished i.e. in beta version...at best. Not to mention they completely broke several classes and never fixed them which alienated huge player base...they completely obliterated druids and shamans....count in the fact that the content was boring, repetitive and just simply lacking...you get one of the worst expansions in history of WoW...the numbers don't lie. I've actually played through the entire WoD and even that expansion that they massively messed up by scrapping half the storyline in mid xpac was better than BfA...and that tells you a lot...

[@xazoirxazoirowsky1742]

I've hated BfA for all the grindy shitty mechanics and failed concepts. But geez, the leveling process and the locations are fucking MARVELOUS! The best in the entire WoW so far, and the best of the best are Tiragarde Sound.

[@its_deer]

I still remember the first time trough Tiragarde. Freehold hoved into view and as Flynn was explaining what kind of place it was, Outlaw harbor B (32:40) kicked in, and it was an absolute transcendental moment. This zone really is something special to me.

6:15 C'est vraiment une musique envoûtante qui nous transporte dans les cieux étoilés de Kul Tiras, à la Rade de Tiragarde, un lieu que je trouve magique. Cette mélodie apaisante évoque une sensation de calme et d'émerveillement, comme si on flottait doucement dans le ciel nocturne. Les sons des instruments traditionnels se mêlent à des éléments modernes pour créer une symphonie captivante, nous invitant à rêver et à nous perdre dans la beauté des étoiles. C'est une musique qui inspire la tranquillité et qui nous transporte vers des horizons infinis de rêve et d'aventure.

the zones where they use the nickelharpa (like this & grizzly hills) just swoon me. As much as the game has changed and become something I barely recognize anymore, the music has been a wonderful constant factor.

As someone who did mostly world pvp in the expansions from cata to BfA, I have to say... This expansion was one of my favorites. Might even be a top three. Yeah, there. I said it!

[@ashe274]

Perhaps we treated BFA too harshly. Honestly, the farther we get from it, the more I miss it. Those first few days especially, exploring new zones, leveling up, taking in the early story. Life was good then, even if we didn't fully appreciate it.

I mean the zones and atmosphere and questing were great (except Zuldazar), but the end game was just terrible.

The other day my wife and I were playing WoW and I said, "I miss BFA sometimes" and she was like, "I do too!" It definitely had a bad Rep by some in the community but I do look back at it fondly.

[@steffyweffy]

I always miss BFA

[@kaedrys]

Because Shadowlands followed it and that's a story I wish I could erase from WoW lore lol. But I started playing WoW during BfA and I am nostalgic for it too, even if it had problems.

You can actually stand on top of those mountains in the video at 21:05 and look around at everything as far as your GPU will allow. Best zone with the best music imo, not much felt like a chore, great city/wilderness design, like taking a trip to Colorado/Oregon mixed with Neverland.

@@vtr0104 Well, actually I'm not being sarcastic at all xD Loved the story of the zone, and the dark atmosphere is so greatly rendered thanks to level design, sound design and monsters design. There even are variations between the snowy mountain, the haunted wood south west and the other wood north east. Nope, I really think it is a great zone in term of design.

[@GamesPixword]

A zone that I found despressing af is Voldun. Desperately empty and boring.

[@vtr0104]

@@GamesPixword I guess, yeah, it is varied in the sense of environments, but the story in it and the finale in the Manor there made me pretty sad. I don't get Blizzard's obsession with making nice human areas and then messing them up with something (Redridge had the Orcs destroying and occupying half of it, Westfall felt abandoned and crawling with the damned Defias, Darkshire was.. well, dark, and oppresive). And with WoW being what it is, most areas remain like that. I was amazed in Cataclysm when I saw they had "fixed" some areas in the Plaguelands and in Westfall, though it seemed to come at the cost of destroying Hillsbrad, which used to be one of my favorite areas.

[@vtr0104]

@@GamesPixword I haven't done many quests in Vol'dun, actually, but to me it actually felt too.. cluttered. It was supposed to be a barren desert but there's not nearly enough desert to it and each side of it has something going on, plus the freaking pyramid in the middle. The mobs too, feel like they've been packed in there. Tanaris and Silithus felt way more like deserts, and even when Uldum was added, there was more distance between objectives where you just rode through dunes and sand-storms. I remember questing in Tanaris before Cata, you could realistically go around hostile mobs and meander your way across the zone, in Vol'dun you can't step 3 yards in any direction without being jumped by everything and its mother....

If it were not for the problems with Azerite talents and a bit more new content at the start of the expantion, then the bfa would have turned out to be the best. Because locations, quests, pve, even pvp in the open world, are very good in this expantion. But the Legion is still the best.

BfA sucked, no doubt about that but Kultiras is arguably WoW's best designed zone ever it was so realistic and emersive and the way all the different zones transitioned into one another just felt natural.
