Just wanted to ask how do you feel about the state of world PvP currently? Is it even needed these days due to War mode toggle? Because there are no rewards and stuff? Only some few rewards like “Alliance Slayer” titles. Most of the potential rewards come from Battlegrounds, Arenas and such. World PvP is forgotten even when it always has potential to be improved the system.
Biggest problem is that most of EU servers are not really well balanced at the moment. They are either Horde or Alliance dominant. Some external layer should be done for world PvP (just an idea), or some kind of world PvP seasons or zones related seasons as world PvP maps? That will give rewards for example better PvP gear comparing to Battlegrounds. Players should be sent outside of Oribos and such cities.
Just a concern here right now what Blizzard might think of the world PVP’s future in this game.
World PVP is beyond salvation since Legion that they openly stopped considering wPVP balancing.
I deliberately picked an “alliance dominant” server this time but it didn’t matter. Toggled war mode and I still see full of horde around the world
My guess: Leave it as current state - Wildly accepted excuse for making the balance easier (still crap though).
At least PVPers are no longer forced to farm PVE stuffs like Legion - SL
Had an absolute blast with my friend doing world PvP in waking shores yesterday while farming dragon skulls at a WPvP WQ.
Dropping people off their mounts with dragonriding and leaping from cliff to cliff up to the point of getting a bounty. Just what I wanted from this expansion!
Non-war-mode should be absolutely abolished. Instead, all servers should have been connected in a gigantic single server experience, and everything should have been war-mode-only.
I was concerned when leveling after only seeing 1-2 hordies throughout the 10 hrs but this seems to have been resolved since turning sharding on. It would be good if they could create a 50/50 with WM on but I don’t know how difficult that would be or potentially not possible.
but War mode is not server based at all, you join a War mode server when you toggle it on, that is from every EU server with it toggled other then roleplay servers.
as said before war mode is not based of the server you are on at all, so you could theoretical join a server with zero horde on as alliance and as soon as you toggle War mode on then you would get swarmed with horde out and about in the world.
now that is over, they really should change the rewards from war mode, but it would have to be cosmetic or very early season just like open world is for pve
