I Am Sad About the Fact That Warfronts Flopped

Ok so Warfronts are bad.

But everything about Warfronts that isn’t the Warfront is great!

The Warfront transmog is the best transmog in BfA by far!

The Warfront zones get awesome revamps to update them to the current status quo!

And that brings with it a bunch of cool mounts, pets and toys!

I mean, who doesn’t love the Chimaera mount or the fart toy or the Donkey?!?

A DONKEY!!1!

(I’m still trying to get that donkey :frowning: )

I hope they still make more Warfronts, even though nobody likes them.

Because everything that comes together with a Warfront is awesome!

Flopped? You may not like them, but the que time is always like 20 seconds and a lot of people seem to do them, so idk if that is the correct term.

I think they are done with making new ones. Like IE a good idea that this dev team didnt have the talent to pull off

the reason they flopped is because there is zero reason to do them except once a week for the quest.if they had the gear scale with you warfronts would be much better.

the issue is the game system design.

Warfronts were a really cool idea, until they turned out to be just an afk-able welgare gear hand out station.

Make PvP warfronts and put a queue on the honor UI and we wouldn’t be talking about a flop, tbh.

My honest opinion is that there is not enough reward for the amount of time it takes. There is no chance of losing unless most people afk. I do it the 1 time for the 400 bit thats it. The gear rewards from doing the WF is less than my gear.

If it was challenging or not as long i would do them assuming there was a reward for doing it.

There is no real story to engage you so its just a going through the motions thing for me

lol? Why should you be rewarded more than 1 piece of heroic ilvl gear for such trivial content.

Enjoy 3 hours of boredom involving turtling.

Gear is the only reward? Hell, gear is the problem. I don’t want to do them because I already outgear them. Give me some collectibles inside the warfront and I’ll do the bloody things more.

I prefer Arathi as I like putting on the flannel and chopping wood.

Darkshore doesnt let me do that. Its only go kill mobs.

I REALLY liked the throwback to early Warcraft and being a peon for a short bit.

Warfronts are okay but as with any content you can only do them so many times before they just get boring.

I could never get overly fond of them because they seemed too much like a PvE version of a battleground.

I do like when a faction gets them and we can do WQ with flying.

OR have gear randomly drop inside the warfront from certain mobs, or completing a certain task etc etc. Make the Warfont have real world ramifications for winning it like Faction buffs .

I think I remember in a q&a Ion mentioning that they weren’t popular and they’re not going to do anymore new ones.
I’m disappointed, as a mostly solo player I found them fun and easy to do. I’d love new ones.

That was part of my points. It isn’t challenging enough.

Its 355 or 365 i forget now, but its quickly out leveled and there is no reason to go back. If there was difficulty levels with increasing rewards i would probably do it more often

Have you ever raided? lol

Warfronts should have been an RTS game. Where you take command of your troops, build and manage resources to capture the enemy like Warcraft 1-3.

I would no life them if they were like that, instead we get a 20 minutes of epic music and unengaging gameplay because nothing really matters and nothing is challenging and you just want to leave.
