Did they turn off the Battle for Nazjatar?

It didn’t happen all of yesterday, or this morning.

It’s disabled if you’re in an unbalanced shard.

Nozfuratu-zangarmarsh · July 2, 2019, 6:59pm

So…basically it’s never going to happen again?

Here’s the blue post.

"Battle for Nazjatar" Changes Made

We’ve heard your feedback (and experienced it ourselves) – there can be lopsided faction representation during the “Battle for Nazjatar” event. We’ve seen cases where only one faction is represented.

To address this, we’ve now changed it via hotfix so the “Battle for Nazjatar” will only become active when Nazjatar has a good mix of both Horde and Alliance players in War Mode. When that is not the case, an alternative event will become active called “Azshara’s Elite Commanders.” This is also available to players who are not in War Mode, and it also awards Nazjatar Battle Commendations for slaying Elite commanders during the event.

We’re continuing to monitor and investigate reports of server lag during the event, and we’re acting on feedback about significantly imbalanced areas. We’ll let you know as we make further changes.

Thank you for your patience and continued feedback!

Also yes.

Killing the naga commanders now gives the PvP tokens while they work to balance shards. Its a bandaid, not a solution.

So, there will continue to be an event, it just may be PvE and not PvP? I was wondering why I didn’t bump into an event yesterday. Maybe it was just bad timing?

Bummer.

It was a good way to get a few extra pearls.

Autai-moon-guard · July 2, 2019, 7:02pm

As Sincubus mentioned, it’s probably a temporary occurrence as they figure out what’s going on with Sharding.

Now I have to farm Volraths/Tremblades crates for my commendations…

They butchered it. There was only one group available during the time it was up when normally there are dozens. And the cherry on top is that it was even more imbalanced than it was before.

What’s really funny is a lot of alliance jumped ship to horde just to be able to do some of this stuff and only made the problem worse and gave blizzard more money lol
