Oceanic Realm Connections for PvP Matchmaking in WoW Classic

OCE isn’t big enough to sustain itself for Arena. The change was obviously made cause they checked on number of active players, I’d hope anyway. Anyone who pvp’d towards end of classic could see how bottom of the barrell it was, than at the start. It is inevitable this happens, for better or worse. It’s pretty much EXACTLY the same as it is on Retail.

Challenge yourself to be the best in NA, not just OCE.

Really appreciate this Blizzard, however, it does show consulting with the community with a drastic change like this might have been the smarter decision. <3

< Goon > showing what GOONS they are, nice

I look forward to vsing the same 10 people in arena again and again…

Oh well Blizzard will have their ‘I told you so’ moment in a couple months when the player base falls off and people are complaining on reddit once again about WANTING a merge.

I mean if I wanted to do that I’d play on NA server in NA battlegroup with NA ping yeah? Or am I missing something blatantly obvious.

Why flag? He’s telling the exact truth?

You on the payroll of something?

More importantly why is everyone thanking them for fixing this ? When

  1. It will only be fixed on launch now, so they have scuffed PvP and honor COMPLETELY this ENTIRE pre-patch.
  2. He is implying that he’ll change it again later when they feel like it or something dumb ‘fix’

In the future please do not take it on yourself to try “help” us classic OCE players.

It sometimes feels like the eager work experience kid is making decisions there for us without any supervision.

When it comes to gladiator titles just make it x% or minimum number to allow more Oce players to have access to it if it’s really an issue…?

Having the best of Oce and NA playing with good latency to n their own region also opens the door to an esport opportunity in witch the Oce gladiators and NA gladiators could compete in an arena championship after the completion of the season for some other title or reward. Being that up to that point they would not have played against each other would make for some really entertaining games to watch.

Thank you BLISSARD!

they flag cuz they love a whinge

Regarding the the ranks and titles, who cares if the titles are just in the OCE region? If you’re the top team in the region then you’re the best of 100’s of thousands if not millions of players.

Why do I care if there are better players in other regions?

“bUt mUh pVp cOmMuNity” these will be the same people that queue 1 or 2 times a week and never touch it again. OCE population will reach a point where it can’t sustain itself anymore (see end of classic) and queues will be measured with the erosion of a stone by the wind

Felstriker warrior speaking up. No one pvpd at the end of classic because the gear was more obtainable / better from raiding. Different system in BC.

“Challenge yourself to be best in NA, not just OCE.”
Classic line from someone that rolled on felstriker.

You rolled felstriker bud, your opinion is even less than the players that queue 1 or 2 times a week.

Thank you for listening to your players.

When you have no argument so you whip out the felstriker card (see also ad hominem)

come back when you’ve managed to attain some cohesive thoughts and some actual brains

Thank you for listening blizzard! Faith restored!
