If 1.12 AV discourages a handful of people from playing and loving this project, they were never that dedicated to enjoying it in the first place.
And before I’m flooded by the goalpost movers, I’m speaking specifically about the handful that have said they wouldn’t play if we got 1.12.
A handful here a handful there soon tourist will out number regular play base
to be fair i was looking forward to the old AV, but i can work with 1.12 AV if it means getting a good server.
Honestly it was always more fun to me to do this with a small group of 3-5 people who absolutely knew what they were doing. It won’t kill city raiding, but people striving for high rank will be smart enough not to join these 40 man raid on Org groups.
Looking fantastic, thanks for the update.
Tauren mill vs south shore confirmed
Would this make more sense?
Phase 5: Old PvP rewards updated to the 1.12 values.
This is both me and my guilds take on this in discord right now. PvP servers are going to be an absolute bloodbath during this time period. It takes a long time and dedication to get to the weapon rewards at rank 14. So world PvP on PvP flagged servers is going to be… whew lads… With no battlegrounds to funnel it, yall gonna die.
R.I.P. low levels who thought they might actually get questing done in Hillsbrad.
Yall might think “wooo world pvp, hellloooo tauren mill!!”, it’s not going to be how you think it is. Like you will go do it for a day or w/e, then realize your honor farm is really bad there and end up taking your future premade to a high tier flightpath and just camp it all day. This isn’t fun for anyone leveling/questing or wanting to rank.
This.
Doesn’t phase 2 coincide to BWL? Isn’t that when the PvP system was initially implemented?
Rank 14 is going to take at least a month for the first person to get it. Possibly longer if they have strong competition.
And you’re talking like it’s going to be a common thing. There will be very very few rank 14 players.
Not a real problem.
There is one thing that worries me about this rank system: account sharing. Account sharing was a notorious problem regarding this rank system and I’m not sure how it will be handled in Classic - especially considering I guess it could be a harder thing to track and report (would probably have to be mostly on Blizzard’s side).
Welp. Fingers planted pretty deeply into your ears on the AV front.
I thought it took like 2 months for the average person to get rank 14? Do we have any definitive answers? In any case, its capped right? 1 person per week per faction isnt it? I don’t think this is a problem. Even if its 1.12 stats on r14 weapons, you are talking a month to get there (or more) then literally one person per week per faction. It would take 4 months minimum for there to be a sizable number of R14s sporting the end game 1.14 weapons.
depends on if they decide to do itemization, which at this point i believe they have stated they don’t plan on it, but it seems items will be at their 1.12 stats at the time they were normally implemented
Yeeaa especially since people cant just do bgs. Looking at 2-3 months till someone hits r14 and thats if they are farming like mad and bgs are implemented at some point during
if i remember correctly, if they do 1.12 pvp ranking, the top 3-5 players per week above like 150k honor will get r14
An outcry for 1.5 AV is one of the most hotly contested topics on here, right next to RP-PvP servers at launch. The very least you can do is tell us exactly why you can’t do it if you’re really that determined to not so while knowing a ton of us here deeply desire that version.
Let the fires of war be lit and the games begin.
Warden I believe is very good at picking up on this. Account sharing, as far as I understand, will be darn near impossible with the 7.3.5 client using bnet.
