-> Feedback thread with the goal of increasing Arena Participation! <-

my guy classic pvp isnt changing. have you not been awake for the past 5 years? and you still have the naivety to make pvp suggestions :rofl:

Arena just sucks donkey dick. No changes will help it.

Don’t get your hopes up boys. They intentionally even lower our options :joy:

Or its because people enjoy spamming 2s as a job outside of boosting as well just a though.

the fix for this is let people use w/e racial they want but then Bliz will make 0000.000.5% ess money

This thread is an inside job, dont fall for it. Its purpose is to hype people up for mop/tbc thinking blizz will actually care about PvP so blizz sells a lot of 85 boosts.

In all seriousness, youre better off spending your sub money on a dead privateserver

It’s a tad bit concerning LFG is removed. I haven’t play classic since the beginning of Cata but PvP is cross server for LFG now no? Is so how do you find players cross server now? Even if not doesn’t this make looking for team mates tougher? Are there are plans to address this? The LFG system is out date even on retail but not sure just removing it completely is a good period.

They said its intentional. In the other forum post [Bug] Cataclysm Classic - LFG Tool not crossrealm anymore - #9 by Tyrskorn If you don’t know people you aren’t playing much if it all. Even on servers like firemaw.

Also there’s nothing saving this go do something else with your time. Mop is so much harder to script sort out and has a lot less information then cata does so if we cant fix the bugs attention dev team size for cata we aren’t getting a good mop.

If your a streamer please go play a different game and boycott this company if you aren’t and wana do pvp go play pr servers no pr servers for cata but it is what it is.

I used to play a lot of PvP including arenas, rated BGs and I would always try to compete at high rate. I play much less nowadays and more casually than before. I usually log in to play some arenas on the weekends and I don’t really have active partners. I usually find someone to play using LFG and sometimes we even push different sessions. When I play I usually do some 2s sessions as it is easier to find partners for that short sessions.

With my gamestyle I would appreciate if

  • 2v2 had the same rewards as 3v3. Custom slots for end of season could also encourage me to push more.
  • LFG system was more advanced or at least as detailed as it was in WotLK Classic. I use LFG a lot to find partners and in WotLK I had much better experience with it.

Other suggested changes such as Dampening starting earlier in 2s would also be a good idea. I usually have limited time to play so it would help conclude the games faster.

I loved Blizzard’s TBC, WotLK and Cata changes so far like catch-up system changes, new dungeon difficulties etc. I hope MoP experience will be similar.

Thanks a lot for all this very good suggestions that will most certainly increase the participation in MOP Classic PVP !

I dont know what to say other than “this, please”.

First of all, thank you for creating this post—it was very necessary for someone to push these issues.

I think you covered the most important aspects of the current PvP issues.

Classic PvP has been amazing, but sadly, it has been declining for a while. Most active PvP players agree with what you’ve said.

With MoP Classic—arguably the best, or one of the best, expansions for PvP—this is the perfect opportunity to make changes that improve the overall experience for PvP players.

I encourage everyone to share this post and push for these changes, as I believe this is our best chance to see meaningful improvements in the game.

i agree!!!

This is the way, well spoken Pojke.

good post, cheers

I am a sub 2k Rating Andy and I will never reach Gladiator, but I fully support these Idea’s.

Nobody should care if there are PLENTY more gladiators if that helps the overall participation. That is GOOD FOR YOU, even if your Gladiator becomes SLIGHTLY less valuable.

i mean… to me the biggest issue, will always be that arena is not fun, but hey if people disagree with me its fine… i just think most people chase rewards and never enjoy matches and end up complaining on teamspeak/discord for ages about meta, blizzard, mmr and so on spin it around, a decade has passed, same talks on voice

hes right :slight_smile:

The game is super fun with class stacking. It adds variety and lets anyone join and Que with any comp. Every comp has its counter and that affects both match ups :slight_smile:

People play classic for the raw unchanged feel we are not here to play retail where everything is hella balanced and every class or matchup feels the same.

Great post by Minpojke.

Some feedback on the current arena state from a new player who started playing arenas regularly only in Wrath Classic and had no prior private server/retail experience. The entry point in the WoW arena is very rough for a new player, at least because you face people that have played this game for years, and most of your potential teammates are either too casual and don’t wanna properly learn how to play, or for others, I am not yet good enough. So, having some venue where I can regularly practice feels essential, especially if it’s a viable setup and not too random shuffle. Don’t know about solo shuffle cause I never tried it, but maybe some mode where people can still match by their skill but not lose rating cause of the lost game, and still play and practice? This is what I felt I needed when I tried to play arenas from scratch. Having a lot of stressless/pressureless practice of my essential moves, developing muscle memory for my keybinds, etc.

I can’t relate to the ranking/title issue cause it’s just not a problem that affects me personally, but can the 2s and 3s title be just separate titles with the 3s title being more prestigious? Could that be the best of both worlds?
