The pvp element is what I was most hyped for and it turned out to be bunk. I thought it would be more pvp not just a pve rep grind. Needs a lot more thought behind it and more focus on pvp.
I feel like this is exactly what happens when you do pvp in a pve zone yea? Kinda working as intended.
Sure, if their intent is pve not pvp it’s working as intended but what they promoted wpvp just to make it a pve boss. Seems more bait and switch to me
It’s open world AV. I had a blast last night when the event started. We just need to check on the event status from major towns

Naw, not even close to AV, there’s at least opportunity to PVP in AV. When this event triggers there’s no pvp involved
They actually did some good things for world PvP in retail recently which I thought could’ve been implemented in SoD
Basically small areas within a zone that are free for all. Killing players fills up a completion bar and filling it all the way gives a reward.
Or simply a “kill x amount of players in x zone” daily or weekly.
Or even if it was the towers in hellfire that require you to cap them. At least there would be something neutral that could be contested.
In my experience there’s way less actual PvP in Ashenvale than other places, like Hillsbrad.
Ashenvale’s PvP event isn’t designed particularly well to actually facilitate PvP. Needs to be longer, with mini objectives accomplishable by non-raids, incentive to defend, etc.
It really is just an even more PvE-centric AV in the current state.

I didn’t know we were doing comedy on the forums today.
I think all they have to do is provide the PvP faction rep for honorable kills in Ashenvale (make it very low even…like 1-2 rep per kill) – encourage the two factions to grind out the rep in a meat-grinder mosh pit until the event starts, then give bonus rep for defending your objectives.
Bam – instant world PvP-ness will happen all day.
As it is…there’s no incentive to really defend or kill players as you get no rep for it. The events are just rare enough to where you really want to go full PvE style and kill the objectives ASAP.
