The server balance system used in sod is amazing and it would be awesome if they implemented something to wotlk classic aswell before cataclysm. I just love open world pvp, i think it just enriches the world and would like to see it return. Take the zone icecrown with all the dailys for example. That zone was meant to be an open world pvp zone but sadly all servers ended up as one sided.
I know people dont want be on the low populated faction and be the underdog so i understand why people swapped servers but like i said before with this new SoD system it should fix the balance issues these servers previously had.
Likewise! I love worldpvp the most in wow. One of the reasons I quit WOTLK because all servers on EU turned one faction. I loved SOD for this reason, lively and engaging pvp, but sadly I overplayed vanila over the years and just dont enjoy the content that much as it lacks a lot.
I think it would be possible to make cross realm in the world with one alliance server for each horde server.
This way it wont create an issue by merging server but bring back world pvp
World PvP is dead because of flying mounts and LFG teleporting people around directly from capital cities. Also because it gives no rewards, disbalanced and a time waste for you and your victim. Go play arena, SoD wPvP or even Plunderstorm, if you want PvP.
You’re going to have Tol Barad for that. It’s basically Wintergrasp without vehicles and walls so pure pvp. I’m not a pvp enthousiast but even I dabbled in TB back in the day.
other world PVP can’t be forced. People these days clearly have zero interest in it during leveling and at max level you just fly everywhere.
If Blizzard had used the system from the start of the realms in 2019 then would be ok, except the moaning about not being able to make a character, but most players on PvP realms don’t want a balanced population. This has been made painfully obvious.
They just want to be on the realm with the most players of their faction, like PvE players.
Sounds like you’ve having bad times during world pvp. I havent. And ye i also do arena but one thing doesnt have to exclude the other. You still have to be active in the world for questing for example where there sometimes can be fun wpvp occuring. Not everyone wanna hide all the time.
Look I had more than enough wPvP in October 2019 on a 38:62 ratio realm for the minority faction. Yesterday finished Plunderstorm lvl 40 reknown grind, but I loved it since it reminds me of gearless PvP I used to have in HotS. WoW wPvP is a mess and only gankers love it, when PvE players have no chances vs them.
Then the PVE players have an option to go on PVE servers right? If the faction ratio is balanced with the sod implementation i believe the wpvp would be more satisfying. And ye there will always be gankers still no reason to remove wpvp.
WPVP is possible in CATA but sadly PVE players and streamers turned each server into one faction. I dont know how tol bard would work as pvp with one sided servers…
considering that they def wont bother merging servers, only cross realm would be an option
it died in WOTLK when pvers xfered massivly making each server one sided. In the start of wotlk wpvp existed, obviously not like in classic but still whose who liked it, battled on dailys etc. It also existed in original cata, I remember pvp on dailys there too. But it wont work on one sided servers. Just because you live in Dalaran and getting summoned into dungeons only, doesnt mean it doesnt exist for others
If they don’t fix servers, I won’t even bother with downloading CATA. I will not play on monofaction for the rest of my life. I will better quit for good.
Now I have tons of fun in SOD. If they won’t fix anything, I will be there to the end and then quit.
BTW, I experienced tons of wpvp on TBC, WOTLK, and CATA. It is pretty common on a balanced server. Not on this ****show.
well some snowflakes believe that if doesnt exist then people dont need it, without realising that if it existed, it would attract more people, that some people simply quit because it got removed.
I do hope they do something about servers so it would be possible to experience wpvp
Go on, reroll to Alliance! All these talks from the Horde players to find them opponents, while they enjoy overall majority in population numbers, so even if all realms were connected and mixed evenly across Warmode layers, many Horde players would still be forced to play on PvE one due to lack of faction balance.
