Nazjatar "server hopping" WPVP event OMEGALUL

[Shirolyn-draenor]

So, now that US servers updated to 8.2 currently there is a WPVP event is ongoing.

Objective is to control 3 flags and gather points.

Anyone can join it with warmode on.

The only problem is, that every server has its own event, and people doing nothing but jumping from server to server until their faction has a lead, or a server where their faction outnumber the other.

Ofc the point is to avoid combat with others and get an easy win.

So basically a WPVP event become a Server-hopping event, which should promote WPVP LUL.

Wonder how blizzard gonna fix that.

Now that really sounds like a World-PvP

[Bukachu-ravencrest]

easy fix - disable server change unless zone’s full

@Bukachu-ravencrest

easy fix - disable server change unless zone’s full

Which would just bring us back to the original problem, handing an easy win to the faction that has the highest pop on that server.

There really isn’t a fix for this because WPvP has always been about outnumbering whenever possible and players will keep finding ways to do that.

I didnt mean server, I meant shard.

Not so much World PvP as Multiverse PvP.

[Uvireath-tirion (Uvireath)]

Ah WorldPvP, or as it is commonly known “100Horde versus that one Alliance-Rogue not fast enough to stealth”.

[Innarish-draenor]

This does sound like a legit problem but I don’t think having unbalanced matches due to population is any better.

[Nisamxes-outland (Nisamxes)]

Why not just take the horde mode and put it in the trash bin with all the other failed ideas Blizzard has had over the years.

[Madorin-malfurion (Madorin)]

Well they solved that problem by just making it so you can’t earn rewards from the event for an hour after you have completed one.

Watched Asmongold last night and horde was camping the highmountain necklace quest in big numbers, he made a raid grp and what followed was like a 40v40 that turned the server into a lag fest where everything froze for like 15 minutes, wtf blizzard… even some private servers could handle that better, OMEGALUL

[Sholah-hyjal]

@Gráinne-earthen-ring

Multiverse

You’re saying there’s a multiverse ?

Well, it was like that for Assaults - join a bigger raid on a bigger shard - then they were limited to groups of 5. Hope it’s not going to be the fix they try - because it’ll be very bad for this event, since it’s all about faction control and war in a zone.

Without heavy LFG limitations and restrictions for changing shards - it just couldn’t be any different, and it was obvious for anyone who did WQs in Legion, or at least Assaults in BfA.

But hey - there is also good things - anyone who’s looking for big fights can just spread out on different shards and then join with one who found big action. Basically - there are those who server-hop for rewards, and there are those who do it for large scale WPvP.

[Gráinne-earthen-ring]

Almost. The exact phrase is “So you’re saying there’s a multiverse?”

[Moonsea-shattered-hand]

Ah gads. This sounds great Oo

Was actually looking forward to this as well. =/
