"We dont want so many horde to use WM"

so aparently the WM is so popular that too many people use it

thats why they give allience 400 itlv items to disencourage all horde from using WM in future

game design on level of 2019 indeed.

Same reason I thought so, they want Horde to turn it off. Simple then remove the bonus! Most of them don’t like WPvP at all and only activated because it was a free 10%. Let the ones who don’t mind the ocassional gank (for PvP gear) keep it on and keep the shards balanced.

Did they actually say this?
What kind of logic is that?

  • The extra rewards were meant to encourage more Alliance to participate but also to make Horde who did not like PvP to turn it off.

Sounds good and all, but there are still tons of Alliance turning on War Mode not because we want to PvP, but because we want the rewards.

they give the alliance a bonus even when they outnumber, THE SYSTEM DOSNT WORK BLIZZ, sort out shards first, then work out which side outnumbers them at that very moment. One side should not outnumber and have the buff even if its only on one shard.

but in all honestly. That was a “dont you have phones” level of bad

Blizz: The extra rewards were meant to encourage more Alliance to participate but also to make Horde who did not like PvP to turn it off.

I dont even know what to say to this…

First, they add in some extra stuff (carrot on a stick, 10-30% more exp and reward) to make ppl use the war mode.

Horde player are PvP’er by heart, so, they turned it on insta, while the alliance player still didnt feel like it.

Then they added more rewards for the alliance player, so some PvE’er started to join the fight aswell.

Now they are trying to make us horde rage about this so we will ragequit war mode?

Srsly, at this point, i am all in for “remove war mode bonus”, keep that for the PvE server, since the PvP rewards are already there (OP PvP talents while doing world PvE)…just put on a passive “30%” for both alliance and horde on PvE server as a “sorry, we f up”.

Then, go back to the drawing board about what you want War mode to be, imo, the “alliance / horde force are attacking this zone, help us!” in war mode is a perfect expample what i feel war mode rewards are, conquest points!.

Maybe add that to ALL WQ while in war mode, once ppl have capped CP, make any extra CP gained be turned into honor.

There, war mode = PvP mode / PvP rewards, … PvE server = gaining PvE stuff.

I really dont get the idea why they mix’ed the stuff together in the first place (but, dying = take time to complete quest, so, thats why they added the 30% more rewards)…yeah, like some lvl 25 horde are gonna run around in westfall killing alliance player who have war mode on…lol, feel more like a ganking tool or a power lvl tool when nobody are around.

Another joke is when the bonus are world wide and not server / zone wide.

The boat is leaking, it’s taking in water at a rapid rate. Blizzard’s patchwork solution is to use play-dough and wood glue.

And yet they can’t figure out why the boat is still taking in water. They’ve done what they possibly could have done.

It’s decisions like this that makes me wonder if Ion is the lead designer of BfA or just a puppet. Question then is, who at ActivisionBlizzard is the puppet master.

Warmode should have never had any extra reward.
People turn it on it get it, even if they don’t particularity like wPvP.
Remove all the rewards so only people who like wPvP would turn it on. That should be the only incentive for it.

To be fair they explained on stream that from the start of BFA horde was overpowering alliance so much in WM that some horde players just turned on WM even when they wanted nothing to do with pvp, just because it was free xp bonus. So it was not so much about wanting horde in general to turn WM off but wanting it not to be automatic “no risk” xp bonus for one faction.

oh ye forgot this completly :slight_smile: thanks for nice argument :slight_smile:

So instead they want Alliance folk who don’t want to pvp to do it just because it’s free loot?
It’s pretty much a risk free bonus for Alliance right now too.
Flawless logic right there!
