No pvp items but they advertised this “great” pvp thing in ashenvale…

Well I mean I want to get the PvP Rep gear but you can’t get Rep in Ashenvale when one side wins instantly without a fight. I’m just annoyed because there isn’t anything you can do and think people are layer hoping to avoid fights to just win instantly for rewards.

Need 1,000 more rep for the trinket then im calling it.

There is NO ASHENVALE PVP GEAR LOL

Its 3 helms that are ONLY useable in Warsong and no stats.

This is the biggest wtf face palm is going on in the history of wow…

I am dumbfounded. The level 20-28 gear requires level 28 to use LOLOL??? WHAT IS GOING ON??

[Fistbuut-grobbulus]

We had an entire raid in astranar. The event ended about 3 minutes after it started before we even got anywhere. Crazy

Well now I have the trinket and helm. The helm is actually huge to help against bugged hunters. I’d keep grinding for the ring but with the way BGs are and Ashenvale right now no thanks.

Except there is other PvP gear lol.

It’s called exploiting bad design and layer hoping. Not to mention it favors Horde in massive ways. Servers midaswell be completely imbalanced. It’s nearly impossible to win.

Blizzard, SoD is amazing right now but Ashenvale isnt… Is it intended for the battle to last 30 seconds?

This can’t be correct, the alliance kill our base when we have 3/3 up, how!

see you in 10.2.5

[Dirtiethirti-ashkandi]

I’m sorry if this has been mentioned in other post but, there’s a lot of issues with Ashenvale and one consists with the reputation reward. I’ve been to a number of Ashenvale events (Horde) and participated in the fight against the final boss and never received reputation or reward. I’m not sure if this is a bug or what but, I find it interesting that it’s an open world event that only awards the first raid group that attacks the boss. I run to get to the fight, which only takes a couple minutes to finish, and get zero reward for the time spent traveling and running to the boss. It’s a horrible design that needs to be fixed.

I did it for the first time today. Started a little skirmish PVP skirmish when we were at 99% and 98%. Event started and ended without me noticing

Lame as hell.

This event is the nail in the coffin of my wow career.

Godspeed young hunter.

You will be missed.

[Bigblackmoo-lone-wolf]

The event is literally designed to discourage pvp. It’s not a pvp event it’s a race. We had a good push back and forth pvp on the road at like 85% but as it got closer to the 99% both sides disengaged and sprinted in opposite directions, everyone clustered around the spawn point and it’s over in 2 mins? I don’t even know what the boss looked like it was swarmed so fast. Tagged it but didn’t get any rep, sprint to the next one and it’s over. Why even both adding multiple locations when there’s only need to do the 2 closest and then go about your day. Completely underwhelming. I really hope they look at this event and the pvp and honor/rep rewards soon before the bulk of players are 25

[Clonechan-benediction]

cant even turn in quest for buff, absolutely shameful blizz. complete and total incompetence.

[Zipzo-fairbanks]

I literally said this 17 days ago in this thread.

@Zipzo-fairbanks

Literally no open pvp-dedicated zone has ever been a long term fun time. Wintercrap, Tol Bad, Trashran, I could just go on and on, and the lot of you think, oh this time Blizz is bringing their best hidden recipe for a dedicated PvP open zone!

Have you all forgotten what AV has become these days most games?

If there is a way to cheesify this for rewards for as little PvP as possible, people will do it. The actual PvP? It will be giant zerg-fest trains where the only reason you die is because you were randomly selected by more than 1 person simultaneously to die at any given moment.

The best organic, world pvp, is and always has been the vanilla open world. No objectives. No rewards. Just pure unadulterated thirsts for blood.

This is putting aside what is likely going to be absolutely pants-on-head balance, there’s no shot they’ve tested any of this in PvP because one wandering thought about how nightmarish it will be makes me ill.

People said I was being negative. Bright, bushy-tailed, wide-eyed positivity galore.

No. This is Blizzard. We’ve seen what they’re capable of.

[Zaalg-ashkandi]

Wintergrasp (original one) was great. You had massive fights against actual players. Pvp that encourages players to avoid one another is bad design.

Also…you simultaneous say

And

You realize that’s precisely what world pvp in Vanilla was, right? Southshore vs. Tarren Mill was two giant masses slamming into each other. Then battlegrounds went in and world pvp was just a gankfest.

[Partyrock-skull-rock]

It also discourages defense at all.

[Yumuros-thunderlord]

Really must say I’m kinda disappointed by the PvP Event - It is just another boss rush and no incentive for playing defensive.

[Vengy-chaos-bolt]

I mean I’ve only heard bad things about this event, you would think to see some important changes. Right Blizzard?

[Zipzo-fairbanks]

@Zaalg-ashkandi

Southshore vs. Tarren Mill was two giant masses slamming into each other.

I’m not talking about that.

I’m talking about the purely organic world skirmishes while you’re out and about. SS vs TM is just a meme.

[Partyrock-skull-rock]

They also need to find some way to faction balance. On Living Flame it’s probably more than double the alliance than horde there. More like 3 times. Horde has zero chance to even win one. So the strategy is just to find an empty layer and hop there.

It’s the most ridiculous thing.

[Abombshield-grobbulus]

@Partyrock-skull-rock

So the strategy is just to find an empty layer and hop there.

That’s the strat on Mega servers too. People are quick zerging empty layers getting 500 Rep then trying to find another layer to do it again.

So even if the factions are balanced it doesn’t matter. People are going to try to get the quick Rep for BiS gear.

[Evani-arugal]

def needs work, come on blizz do something before one of your launch features dies in a fire.

[Turdpig-shadowstrike-au]

There is a fix and it’s easy. Just give rewards to people participating in PVP zonewide, to give a reason for defense, and then give the endboss a buff for each boss up. Make the buff to the players near the endboss scale with how many leaders and that’s the event fixed.
