Comp Stomp..?

PVP Battlegrounds

Had a friend DM me asking me “where’s the queue for Comp Stomp?” so I went and looked. Lo and behold, nothing. No comp stomp. Nada. Gone. Not real. I made a ticket, and they said for me to post the the forums, so.. here we are.

I’ve read a few of the other articles posted on here. It seems people have come to the conclusion that Battleground Blitz and Korrak’s Revenge take priority, and thus, it doesn’t appear on the queue list.

With many other weekly brawls, I’d probably kinda shrug it off. It’s a loss, sure, but not horrible; I can live without. This, however, is a problem.

At the start of a season, some people rush in head-first to get their gear, pop queues in Rated Arenas like there’s no tomorrow, and aim to hit their desired rating. Others decide to wait until a good amount of that pushing passes, so that the gladiators can get their ranks. This way, they aren’t facing people WAY above their MMR and being decimated in the process.

Comp Stomp is 100% one of the best way to gear up a fresh toon now that it’s been two weeks and a good amount of people who are hard pushing have gotten their initial ranks. While the season’s starting to slowly drift away from honor gear being the BiS as our conquest cap and vault fills out, that honor gear is essential to starting out.

Now, people can’t. Checking the calendar, our last week of Comp Stomp was the first week of September. The next one takes place in the second to last week of February. By then, a good portion of the season has passed, and it’s going to be MUCH harder for people to hop into rated queues when the majority of what they have is honor gear. Arenas are one of the best ways to farm out conquest, and if you’re using Comp Stomp to get that fresh character prepped for the arena that late in.. you’re screwed. You’re not going to have a good time, and you’re not going to want to PvP.

This needs to be addressed. I apologize for the long rant, but in my opinion, announcing a highly-anticipated Brawl then turning around, shrugging and saying “whoops! that’s not gonna happen! oh well!” isn’t great to incentivize PVPers to play. It could be pushed forward to next week, the menu could be expanded/shifted (take this with a grain of salt, I know nothing about game development and how much work this would take), or just coming forward and saying “it isn’t happening, sorry folks” would be perfect.

Once again, sorry for the rant, but this isn’t really cash money.

I’m aware of these, I used them to gear some of my own toons in the first few days. However, you have to get honor in order to buy them, and if you have none/are fresh this season.. using PVE gear in PVP for BGs gets very, very rough.

You buy them on your main. And send them to your alt.

If the toon is their first toon, they can buy basic green gear from the AH. Or get a crafter to make them.

Still, it would be nice to have Comp Stomp. Even if we don’t, some word from the devs would be nice.

Also, edited to say it’s one of the best ways. You do have a point. Apologies for the error! It’s just frustrating to have something told to us, then all of a sudden, it’s not happening with no official explanation why. There’s only speculation. : (

As far as I know, Korrack’s Revenge has aways replaced the scheduled brawl during the anniversary.

It only looks weird at the moment because Blitz is technically a Brawl too.

When the anniversary launched, Blitz was removed too, they had to go back and add it back again.

You can either buy the BOA Honor or Party Sync to a lower bracket if you want to farm Honor easily

Regardless of prior years, regardless of if you think comp stomp is the best way to farm honor or not…it’s in the calendar. People actually like this brawl, and although i don’t find this brawl fun a lot of people seem to. If it’s scheduled to happen then it should

I like this brawl because regular bgs get fun for that week. All the undergeared players go play that for a week and stop infesting bgs, all that are left are generally geared players

enjoy noob stomp aka korrak one shottin scaled ups

i was hoping it would be up this week, i am done that trash BG blitz

Very disappointing, Blizz. I’ve got crushed tendons in both hands and Comp Stomp is basically the only way I can access PvP transmogs due to this, since my hands are now significantly less flexible and I can’t keep up with a competitive PvP scene and don’t want to drag down my friends and guildies as a result.

It should not be hard for a … ((checks notes)) … Small Indie Company to have both Korrak and Comp Stomp active at the same time.

I wonder if they could just update the calendar and move it by a couple of weeks. I am also one of those who look forward to comp stomp when it comes around.

i want the top pve gear from dueling players.
sounds stupid doesn’t it?
so is comp stomp. the only redeeming part of that welfare system are the AI toon names make me chuckle sometimes.

15

I don’t care about comp stomp at all but… Is this such a silly problem? Like just add a scroll on the interface or something idk.

I just want the usual weekly specials back… I thought Korrak’s was last week’s one so I paid it no mind. Alas, it’s not.

16

Or just have 15K honor + bloody coins when you ding 70 :slight_smile:

17

Would love to see this fixed. Good time to farm Marks for various things. If we can’t get it this week, could it be moved to another?

18

Epics are BiS.

If they aren’t going to give us a way to queue for it, and aren’t going to reschedule it, they should at least take it off the calendar.
