Hoist the Sails, a Plunderstorm Has Arrived!

After playing for a bit…

Here’s more feedback:

  • The combat is… off. Outside of using the ranged abilities, the melee attacks are almost impossible to see if you’re in range or doing damage to the enemy.
  • The fact that, unlike most BRs, everyone spawns from a specific path across the map, here you can almost never choose a location that’s free of people so that you can get settled.
  • Targeting/Aiming feels terrible.
  • Sometimes clicking on abilities doesn’t equip them
  • Someone in an interview stated something about getting 500 plunder each match. That isn’t the case.
  • CC’s are annoying (no surprise, they’re annoying in WoW too)

If you are averaging 50 plunder per match, it is not because you are bad. It is because you are not even trying.

Crash into something for the kill when you land.
Use barrel to gather what is nearby quickly or to get away from other players and focus on the specific quest for the match.

25 games in and I am halfway through level 3.

At this rate, I will make 40 by Christmas if I DONT play my main character at all and just grind this.

Well, every other event sucks for the PvP crowd. Can’t be too mad that they get one finally.

I think at this point I’m just going to kill as many npcs and collect as much “plunder” as I can, and hopefully avoid everything else, just to get the renown rewards, then never touch this again.

I don’t fault Blizzard for trying but this is definitely not something I am enjoying, at all. :frowning:

PVP was added in a later patch but I guess you didn’t know that :joy:

Hate it! Where is the PvE mode for an event with such a large amount of rewards. This is very polarizing to your large community of PvE players. I am not a huge fan of PvP. I can barely enjoy trying to kill the mobs and collect spells/let alone read the spells. If there were no rewards I would not mind this.

Hopefully, that will happen. Then, the players who are just after the mogs can farm plunder and not be attacked by others.

I tried it, and I found out this not for me. I dislike PVP, the controls are weird. And I don’t see myself grind out the transmogs out for this nightmare.

This reminds me of when Burger chain sold tacos for a few years back. They were just as good as you would guess a taco from burger joint would be. That is how this event feel to me.

Like that Burger chain sometimes change is not need. Just stick to what your good at.
I should have bought the burger, lol.

A win only gives you about twice than if you complete the “challenge” then suicide.

But takes like 5x longer.

No, I don’t know HOW I won. I just did lol.

The reward track is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too stingy. People are not going to play this mode long enough to complete this. I’m telling you right now

Continuing the discussion from Plunderstorm is here:

Trueeeee, How Blizzard can split the real number of players that enjoyed a new feature from the players that push the event for a reward despise hating the process… :thinking:

This. It could have been put on a separate launcher like Heroes of the Storm of Hearthstone - the only reason it was included in the wow launcher was to tempt people to play it for the rewards useable in WoW.

It’s so obvious a bait it should have its own bait icon.

I didn’t even realize this was going to be an entirely separate game, like what even? I thought this was going to be like Comp Stomp or something. Not really sure how I feel about it because I don’t typically PvP.

I will probably never find out though because it seems like it’s a massive and highly repetitive grind, taking about an hour per renown rank which would be a whooping 3 weeks if you go at it only 2 hours a day. Idk maybe it’s just me and I’ve grown out of this type of gaming but it seems absolutely mental to me and a nonstarter. What happened to being respectful to player time?

The fact they made shirts for the event says that this is just the jumping off point.

I want one that says “I got steamrolled as soon as I landed.”
