Patch 8.2 thoughts

PVP Battlegrounds

How is it treating everyone so far? What are your thoughts? I’m liking both zones so far and this might (strong might) be the first time I complete a Pathfinder in current content :grinning: The BGs have been fun. Only thing I dislike was doing the Island Expedition, but hey, just had to do that quest once thankfully.

Dunno, too busy with Southshore vs Tarren Mill so I really have no comment yet on 8.2

Source: tabbed out waiting on my SS vs TM queue to pop in the background :cowboy_hat_face:

It’s kind of “meh” for me so far but then again, I haven’t done much on the PVP side other than Warmode. That part of it has been pretty fun. I like seeing quests to kill horde in three or four zones all at one time. Means there will be action.

PVE is pretty much a snooze

Once I get my main on the reputation world quest grind I’ll do some ashran and get back into BG’s more heavily so I’m looking forward to that.

I like both the zones, but Mechagon I like better.

Ashran wasn’t as bad as I feared, but the frame rate is pooooooooooooooooooop. Thankfully they tweeted that they’re looking into it. (And I assume that would help with FPS issues in IoC, WPVP etc)

I’m not sure how good it can get without a serious overhaul.

All in all I can’t complain.

Same.

I can’t fly in wod or legion, but bfa looks promising… expect for me still needing turtle rep.

Outside of that I’m luke warm at the moment.

Corn and I ran some fun bgs last night. Arms feels decent - I just killed a feral in 1v1 which seems odd, but hey, I’m not going to complain.

I like the benthic gear to send to alts when I want to gear them.

It’s not bad. Got the lucid dream essence which so far is nice.

The pvp islands can die in a fire though.

As much as bfa is hated, I’ve played this expansion (4 month break included) more than any other.

literal buns. same stuff different day. content is a hollow shell. time gated everything.

classes are boring. talents are boring. azerite neck stuff is cool, but we need more items as there are only like 10? doesn’t feel like enough.

Time gated how? I just looked at your rep youre not even at the stage where it’s gated by a certain thing. They threw plenty of questing in without gating. It’s not hollow.

I’m diggin it. It’s why I came back early tbh. I’m liking the benthic armor, but I haven’t tested the effects of the traits in PvP yet. Are they good or bad?

Yea not getting where people say this. I spent hours in both zones just doing the initial quests, and still had some daily quests to do. Even spent some time fishing because I want that woman’s goggles!

I’ve only done a couple epics tbh.

The benthic pieces have effects on them, but they also all have this little tidbit:

while in Nazjatar and the Eternal Palace.

so they’re zone specific and I doubt they make any difference in instance PvP :frowning:

Fine I’ll say it.

It’s hampered my hype for classic quite a bit. Blizz made two fun zones. I feel like mechagon is training grounds for our goblins and gnomes to create the tinkerer class.

What about the traits? Like

Undulating Tides

Your damaging spells and abilities have a chance to crash a wave upon your target for 4306 Frost damage.

When your health drops below 50%, gain a shield absorbing 33764 damage within 8 sec. When this occurs, Undulating Tides cannot trigger again for 45 sec.

6.5/10 which for me is better than it’s been in awhile. Like the new armor, like Mechagon better than Naz but both are ok for different reasons. I think Naz has too much packed into too tight a space sometimes. Haven’t done a lot of PvP due to time and outside interferences. Wanting that essence from that quest :(.

Why is this even in the BG section…

I dont even know the time gate, I cant do the dungeon or anything yet.

the tier sets are terrible.

The quests are boring, dailies are boring. PvP is gutted. classes are gutted. talents are bland. BFA is trash.

Ohhhhh you mean the Azerite Essences. I thought you meant the effects on the Benthic gear. The neck Essences are different, and have increasing ranks. Those work.

16

Why not? I like my fellow BG forum pals and like to hear their thoughts.

Oh no the Benthic chest, head, and shoulders all have unique Azerite Traits.

Head has
Arcane Heart
Every 1500000 damage and healing done you gain Omnipotence, increasing your highest stat by 519 for 15 sec. You heal for 5% of all Arcane damage taken.

Shoulder has
Loyal to the End

Your Mastery is increased by 150, plus an additional 37 for each ally also affected by Loyal to the End, up to 299.

When you die, your allies gain Critical Strike, Haste, and Versatility equal to their Mastery bonus from this trait.

And chest has the one I posted before.

If its the BG section it should be the PvP content.

New scoreboard is ugly.

PvP balance changes are lacking, like usual.

new arena is whatever.

classes still pruned to oblivion and boring.

Well I’m asking about all of 8.2 so deal with it.
