PLEASE blizzard, PLEASE fix sharding! It ruins world PvP!

If you try to point at me - missed - re-read what I was saying.

Also, because there is no servers now, because War Mode is an option for every player - Blizzard can Develop and implement things for WPvP and justufy Dev-time/money for doing it, as they’d told in pre-BfA livestreams. That’s why we’ll get that new stuff in 8.2, that you’re also excited about. So it’s not all bad for WPvP.

It’s a problem with people being pathetic.

In one of the camps of Shal’Aran FP in Suramar by Horde with OP at the time Guardian Druid, I managed to get 12 ppl in group from those who were ganked there - we wiped on our first rez, and all of them but 2 scattered because of that one fail. It wasn’t really any better in Legion with PvP servers, pathetic ppl leaving after one wipe were already there…

Thank you, it’s just as I’ve said - there were very little / some fighting in Legion. While in BfA I got a lot more, and in that more overall - I get more interesting and fun fights.

Nah, didn’t happen :rofl:

When all your arguments are based on laughing at someone else’s replies because you don’t like them then no it’s not really civil.

Also making presumptions about how another person plays isn’t very clever. You don’t know me or how I played. But it suits you to write off anything I say because it doesn’t suit your argument. You can not change that I played with WM on for months and that I took part in WPvP. No matter how much you try claim it’s purely about WQs.

There are no realm shards other than RP realms because they have their own rulesets. The rest are just WM on or WM off. Even on busy realms you are sharded with other realms. It makes no difference.

It’s obviously not possible to perfectly balance all shards especially if there is a difference in the number of players in WM. Phasing issues do occur some of the time when the balancing decides to stick you elsewhere. I don’t particularly like it if I can’t go find a ganker on my main. Sometimes if all of one faction is clumped up together in one place, farming the opposite faction and the other faction is spread out over the zone it does not seem very balanced no.

However the comment that you took totally out of context and have started this crusade about was just about how the phasing is a pain because sometimes it’s trying to balance and that’s when you get shifted. Or you plain just can’t get back to the shard you were in.

It’s annoying and I sympathised because it’s happened to us all.

A different viewpoint is not necessarily delusional, it can be that a different player wants something different from War Mode - and that determines their feeling on sharding.

  1. A % of players are community minded, and are not happy that sharding removes the ability to consistently see the same players and guilds.
  2. A % of players are happy to have a good number of random opponents provided by the sharding, accepting most drawbacks in return for consistent combat potential.

I was on Defias in Legion, loved WPvP there, but was not in a WPvP guild. I didn’t use LfG much, was looking for 1v1. Was fun, but I could sometimes leave a WPvP session feeling like I’d not done much. Then BfA came, all of a sudden, plenty of victims! From my perspective, sharding was a big upgrade because I was able to WPvP guaranteed, even late night when I normally play. I eventually realized RP shards were less interesting (to me) and moved to normal shards for WM.

Sure, there are some drawbacks of sharding - I accept them because to me, the pros outweigh the cons. From my point of view there were drawbacks to PvP realms, and sharding outweighs them.

That is another player’s way of looking at WM sharding, it can be different from yours without being delusional. It’s about what any one player wants to get out of WM. You want something different, that’s fine. At the moment sharding is a limitation for your gameplay. If that could be fixed awesome. If not, getting your guild built up with like minded players is the way to go - if we have enough WPvPers in guilds on both factions, we might start to see that community, despite sharding. I’m all for that.

It’s great that each guild can have it’s own theme and mindset, I know Foolish Whisper has a certain stance on WPvP. And other guilds can have their own stance. However, to build community, it’s probably more effective to promote what can be done, rather than what can’t be done. Let’s see if we can get the right players into the right guilds for them. Once they are in a guild, that guild determines their WPvP experience.

The combination of sharding and awful class design killed a handful of WPvP guilds when legion came about. The introduction of WM did nothing to renew said guilds, those masses of people are likely gone forever.

Anyone that defends WM or sharding is clueless and clearly doesn’t care about WPvP at all.

I ended up Reading something you typed, i have had alot of fights in legion, OFC wod and mop + was better but now we’re talking about legion and bfa, i found the good spots to do wpvp and i have had a blast in legion with my friends.

Just because someone has a different viewpoint, doesn’t mean they are clueless or delusional.

It can be about what an individual player wants to get from their WM experience.

I love WPvP, but don’t care who I’m killing. Red = dead. Sharding has no negative impact on that gameplay.

On the other hand, a player that wants to see same realm players and guilds, or be able to easily retaliate with a main, they are gonna be frustrated with sharding.

Can’t please everyone.

I’d love to see WPvP guilds have a resurgence though - enemy guilds sounds like fun WPvP.

To work on sharding, need high volume of WPvPers per guild, then spread on shards. One player spots enemy guild member, invites their guild to group, enemy does same - battle! We can wait forever for Blizz to make changes, or do something ourselves. It’s gonna be the players that love current WM that make it happen. A couple of guilds per faction, could be enough.

i cant read more than 3 lines from your posts, you like sharding and think wpvp now on rp realms are good, still i often see you running around or afk, alot of wpvp going on i see

just because it’s convenient for you - doesn’t mean it’s true. But you can imaging all you want, have fun!

Woah! Really, players running around in open world? It definitely proves something, just not what you’re talking about.

That’s what you’re doing quite a lot…

Yep, enough for me, and much more than in previous expansion.

You’re splitting up what i am typing, yes i do afk somethimes because i am doing something irl or camping someone. try harder next time

pffff, haha, image you’re not the only one who do those things, why start to talk about it in the first place then, and who is really trying hard…

nwm, I see that having a different opinion is somehow triggers you, I’mma let it go, hope you can too.

Cheers!

Because it makes me wonder how someone can like the state of wpvp in rp servers, all the WPvPers i’ve been talking with don’t, not sure what wonderland you’re in, oh btw what i ment with running around is that you DON’T find any fights, use your brain

Sorry my dude, I don’t want to read bibles in my free time… You could just keep your posts short and simple but no every time I have to read a bible, there’s no wonder I miss some of the stuff you write because I get terribly bored with it fast.

If you want to zerg go ahead, but don’t think “LFG gets you more fights” because you clearly are clueless and just want to fight with a brain dead zerg which requires zero effort and skill.

Do what you want mate nothing to do with me but try not to defend something that is so harmful to the game and have made every WPvP guild quit the game.

This wonderland I’m in is quite ok. Before evening assault yesterday I did a solo roam around WQs, had 31 fights. Then on assault in first 30 mins got 14 kills and a bounty, and in next 40 mins was trolling with Battalion Guards and gryphon those who tried to claim it, and few solo strays in between. 37 kills and lots of laughs before horde finally trapped me with a group. 68 kills, solo without any group, in ~2 hours game session. Quite good, can easily have that in any time in BfA, took a LOT more time to have even close to something similar in Legion.

And that ^ is what I like about War Mode, hope you at least try to understand the difference.

What was that you’ve said?

Can’t get you’re own way in a civil argument - ignore other’ argument and pretend they don’t exist, with some excuses and insults - deffo a mature one.

And Zergs… mate, you know I don’t do zergs and LFG. Only communities and friends.

But I quite enjoy that drama-style you’re posting in - can you do more?

I argued my points across with someone that knows absolutely zero about WPvP she can’t handle certain things and thinks anything you say is towards belittling because you’re all a bunch of snowflakes these days honestly what a joke.

I wouldn’t know if you did or didn’t do zergs, I only see you afk or running around in zones sometimes and you still are sat here saying the sharding is good and it just really blows my mind how you can sit there and think that this is healthy for the game.

Honestly when you have been in a steady WPvP guild for nearly every expansion going you can come back talk to me about the state of WPvP. Till then stay quiet and carry on saying that sharding is great for your pretty MVP status and white-knighting this joke of a game.
