Another issue is the respawn timer is way out dated… 30 second random respawn timer?
It should be 15 seconds, no matter what. Todays game they allow anyone to run 150% speed with potions, with the flag, monks can go through walls with flags, Some classes can just fly across the map… Its crazy. So keeping a 30 second timer like its 2005 is terrible.
deep breath
well.
ive played my share of battlegrounds, im sure you can scroop through my profile or whatever and find out but what exactly are the problems with the maps now? something insignificant that you only hyper focus on because you know about it and spend more time worrying about this “problem” than actually playing the game for what it is?
a lot of good? yeah so you saying that its better not to have any new maps because there might be some small little something a small precent of players will hyper focus on and make that the bane of their existance? for the sake of a WHOLE NEW MAP? get a grip, move on.
yeah, sometimes that seems like the longest 30seconds of my life. seems like sometimes a whole game can play out with like a 500 point difference in the time it takes me to spawn. 30second spawn feels terrible
Yes. Instead of fixing pvp in retail, the Dev team decided to chase fads and create a theme park battle royale environment lmao
Blizzard doesnt care, its been getting worse. the company has had a major brain drain, the only people left working are the under paid yes men.
yeah i had that thought too. but plunderstorm is cool too. too bad they didn’t work on retail while they did other stuff too.
bet if they had a second person working on it they’d get more done 
They dont know how to hire talent. And retain talent.
were you THERE MAN? WERE YOU THERE?
They’re not “insignificant” and people do know about them. Like the problem with Horde being unable to retake Hangar because the airships can just bomb them, while the reverse is not true. I can’t even count how many times I’ve run up to hangar and almost had it and then gotten bombed when the airship was back in range. So if Horde loses the Hangar early they’re stuck with Glaives that they nerfed and can be soloed by one player in 2 seconds who pops a couple CDs after the first season.
probably a paycheck issue, solved by throwing fists full of money at employees on the daily
I have heard that as well. WOW is just a money grab for them at this point.
As little put in as possible, while trying to maintain the relic subscription system…
I dont know if true but fits to be honest… Few years ago, a broken name plate issue in PVP would have been fixed instantly… Now its on 6 weeks of it being broken.
Its almost as if a massively toxic playerbase systematically destroyed their own content.
Doesn’t that kind of defeat the purpose of PvP in WoW tho?
I mean I guess they could just turn everything into a FFA, but factions were the basis of not only PvP but the game itself once upon a time.
Call me a stubborn old boomer, but once that final wall comes down between the two sides, the game starts to look awfully corpselike.
Bring back the ability to CC people for 30 seconds straight imo. Single target only and all of it breaks on damage.
Also they might need to think about giving every single spec a form of Mortal Strike like how they tried in Wrath or whatever it was then removed it the very next week. I remember Shamans got an MS effect on Flametongue or was it Searing totem, can’t recall.
It would just be teams in BGs where we already have merc mode. If done right, cross faction would open up the possibility of larger team sizes so you could make a full premade team of whichever faction you want and it could actually be more faction specific.
My preference is they fix the exploit that allows sync queues. There may be better workarounds for the issue but it’s a matter of what they’re willing to invest at this point. The situation exists because the system was allowed to decay due to a lack of investment and, frankly, caring on the part of the developers who I suspect may really hate PvP in the same way that they hate flying.
I would disagree. Survival and BM are great in arena. My buddy and i came back to wow mid s3 and for the first time ever i hit 1800 in 2s with him. Then i read this is the most deflated season ever lol.
i will add my 2 cents, I quit regular bgs because of premades, very foolish of Blizz to let them exist in regular bgs.
Nothing like night after night getting steam rolled after being pulled into a big that someone quit because it was a steam roller.
Bgs spelled wrongly. You meant to spell it WoW
BG’s and pvp in general are all I subbed for for several expansions until Legion. The templates and rng gearing sucked and participation dropped for pvp(including arena which was tracked by the glad numbers).
BFA further beat things down with the gearing systems and the corruptions.
SL further beat pvp down with the need to pve + the rank up system that created a massive gear disparity.
Now DF balance + the premades are finishing bg’s off.
If they have any devs watching and working on pvp, they need a different job. With their focus on trying to get into esports, the only hope is with pvp, not mythic races.
I need you to halt, sir. You may be ridiculously powerful but we all know that without Caramon you would fail. Now please find your brother and stop breaking things.
