I like collecting but I won’t be bothering

It would have been better if both factions could come up against npcs…

Why not? There were pirates in a cove near Stromgarde as early as vanilla.

I hoped it was actually going to be some kind of pirate themed questing, like a new zone, some islands off the coast of dragon isles to explore, something tied to next expansion, some new lore or whatever.

Zero interest in a mini game, not what I sub for at all.

yeah good luck to those who have their minds set on grinding this out

Gotta love it how y’all are tryna look like you care about PvP in the game, while the ladder has been dying in shambles since week 2 extended MMR butchery that replicated that of the previous season in all brackets, put together with all that gross imbalance on top.

Sir we probably maybe care only for the rewards, actually.

I’ll be honest I never liked arena
if they want me to care about pvp they need to make BG’s more central of a focus
and if anything they’ve just been letting BG’s kind of rot I feel like
At the very least this feels like a BG so not weird if people are more excited about this then the current state of arena

The amount of people ranting about “duh battle royale in muh mmorpg” is honestly frightening. Like, you’re not obliged to play it, it’s not crucial for a progress or anything else.

Go touch some grass It’s just a fun experimental stuff with bunch of rewards out of the box to dump some time. Come on.

I don’t PVP anymore. Many years sinse I enjoyed that type of gameplay.

I am happy for those that will love this game mode and support Blizzard making this happen.

But for me, a Battle Royale, nope. I will keep trucking along with casual content in wow.

Don’t care much about mounts and transmogs, so FOMO is not triggered with this one.

Yea, excepti it’s not in “muh mmorpg”, it’s on separate client. I expected a patch to my game, the one that was on Retail roadmap. And You know what? The surprise is thet there isn’t any patch to my game at all!

This can be seen as device for alienating the hardcore PvP crowd (all 20 of them in EU region) from the rest of us chill occasional pvpers.

Some here will be ‘meh’ about minigame, some are looking forward to this unhinged fun, and the hardcore pvpers will be mad about chill crowd getting something different and new while they don’t have casuals in sweat-brackets.

Uhh…nope? It’s just additional tab in retail client.

Why are people against PVP format of this event? It’ll barely have anything to do with wow pvp. You land into arathi highlands and collect powers until you become so OP you 1 tap everything on your screen, including enemies. Wtf

It’s not just about arenas. Have you seen the RBG ladder? Rank 1 has consistently been barely licking 2.4 and only at the end of the season, and those people that are reaching HotA/Hs, which are basically the only unique reward it can give you, are people that have been getting it for years upon years, and they are sitting at 90 %+ winrates every single season in a brutally minmaxxed setup that allows them to carry other people for money. The entire PvP scene is riddled with absolute nonsense like this across all brackets, and now they release this as a cover-up of the actual problems, instead of addressing them and providing long-term improvements and solutions, instead of lazily attempting to increase PvP interest by parodising Fortnite. (Not to mention open-world PvP is notoriously imbalanced, we all know what it’S gonna look like.)

Inbefore hackers, cheaters, bots ect.

They could have also made a pve event for this.

Well it prob be easy to haul up most of the rewards: hop in go afk.

You make it sound like torgahst, i hope i get as OP as in torghast! :laughing: im not a big fan of battle royale games, but i’ll probably give it a go anyways just to see.

I’ll look for a goat on the battlefield. In other words, I’m coming for you
