As Holinka said in one of his last interviews, pvp ilvl from honor and conquest gear will not scale at all in warmode until you climb up the ladder, get rating and upgrade you pve ilvl this way, so pvp’ers, especially healers, will have to stay at the main city for most of the season and will not be able to do any outdoor content, casual pvp’ers will not be able to leave the city for the whole expansion.
The ilvl difference to pve’ers will be insane, so WorldPvP is completely off the table and if you dont want to spend 5 minutes at each mob, you will also likely not be able to do World Quests, or engage elite mobs at all.
I did not make this post to discuss this decision (there are already threads), i want to make a suggestion instead.
Please allow pvp’ers to use the new dragonriding feature inside of the new resting areas, so we at least get something new when queing arenas and bgs, thank you.
so if they don’t do pve (world) content, they don’t need to leave the city.
if they do pve, they get also gear
if they do pvp, even just bgs, they can upgrade to a basic (probably a little higher than LFR gear) ilvl
if they do rated pvp they can upgrade till mythic level if good enough
i don’t really see a problem with this system as long as pvp is equal
As i said, you cannot even turn on warmode because there is no pvp ilvl in the open world, so everyone in mythic+ or raid gear will oneshot you, duels are also not possible.
Of course one can grind duelist every season on every char and then leave the city once its done, but i dont think most pvp’ers are gonna do this.
If all you got is pvp gear, then you are excluded from dungeons and raids, thats how it is now and thats fine, but making us stay in the city for the whole expansion is ridiculous.
I really hope there is no mandatory content out in the open world this time.
If this is true, then it is a terrible change. Always felt dumb that PvE gear is better for World PvP, than PvP gear. It is one of the benefits of Warmode, that you can use your PvP gear to complete World Quests faster than with Warmode off.
I mean I wouldnt view it as being “stuck” in a city, you can still quest with mediocre gear and have Warmode off. Not like WQs are hard or take long, even in honor gear.
Still an unwelcome change for me at least. Not that much into PvE, if I wanted to do the same dungeons over and over with increased diffuculty and drops, I would just play Diablo Immortal.
Making world pvp dependent on pve ilevel is the dumbest idea ever.
It’s Holinka and his friends. They qualify only for having the best stupid ideas.
allow munted combat like in guild wars 2
