Hello I am curious why there have been no new achievements/cosmetics/mounts for killing players in their capital cities (or cities in general)? The latest ones, I believe, were added in Cataclysm.
I like world PvP a lot, but the PvP in new content zones just feels artificial and forced like those “kill X number of players in Y zone”.
Eastern Kingdoms/Kalimdor/Outland are the zones that are the most fun for me and you have no incentive to do world pvp there. Wouldn’t it be awesome to at least make a “For the Alliance 2” achievement or something that gives us incentive to venture out in the old zones to do world PvP? How about something new from the Gurubashi chest. Anything really at this point.
World PvP is player-created content and for some it is incredibly fun so it would be something Blizzard wouldn’t need to invest much time and money in but the return regarding player /played time would benefit their metrics quite a bit.
That might be true because of azerite/neck/corruption and a million of other effects, but wouldn’t shadowlands be the perfect opportunity to reintroduce world PvP in cities when all of that laggy stuff gets disabled?
City raids have always lagged, the only difference was back then it took 40people to cause the same level of lag 20 people are capable of causing in BFA.
I don’t think it’ll be that much better. Blizzard just has no desire for large scale PVP or city raids.
i dunno, we did a raid on ogrimmar yday and lasted for quite a while, and in revange horde went for stormwind and lasted quite a while.
Blizzard is not really doing anything to make it happen, apart from a few achievs that most likely the majority off players already have.
it really has to come from players themself if we want active wpvp like in the old times. even if blizz would do some rewards for it. as soon as most players have that reward it will be dead again.
Blizzard clearly needs /played metrocs in the game to please the shareholders. What I’m saying is I’d much rather have a “go to enemy faction city to kill X leader, or Y number of players” monthly quest with bonus cosmetic rewards for people thtat wanna push it more than arbitrary tortollan seekera wq which im forced to do for flying. If they want people to play then reward them for the shenanigans they are doing and not force them to do chores for /played metrics.
I don’t think we’re going to have “less laggy stuff” in Shadowlands. There’s covenants, conduits, soulbinds, the list goes on. I doubt a fight in Shadowlands will be less hard on the servers as they are now. And graphically, for everybodies PC, given the existance of Night Fae covenants, it’ll probably be even worse.
I know you’re joking, but you might actually be onto something there, love the scraps between the two Faction bases in Nazjatar…perhaps something similar near Crossroads and Sentinel Tower…puts the opposite faction in the area, which might encourage more raids on the Capitals?
You need a lot more than one 40 man raid to invade orgrimmar. At the very least 100 people. And when that many enter a city, you’re gonna get lag to the point of not being able to move.
Zuldazar is doable though. go for that instead.
No need for that. There’s a spot around the top of the palace in stormwind. People can simply fly there and no one will notice, because it’s too far away from auction house, where people gather. That’s how we invaded stormwind and killed anduin for the achievement.
