Dont get me wrong, a scatter game of 2’s or 3’s here or there aint bad. In my opinion, as a solo player, with not many friends in the game, solo shuffle is the best thing to happen to WoW for PvP players in a while. Que times might suck sometimes if your not a healer but atleast when you get in theres 6 rounds in a row where teams change every match. love it. feels like im getting more play time and less time spend waiting and forming groups when I play 6 rounds in a row. The feeling of lackluster is still there for me though. I mean, we’ve had the exact same map rotation for a decade with the exception of maybe 1 new map here or there. I would hardly call that inspiring. Next thing i’d like to bring up is gasps rewards. Honor is cool, until you cap honor, then its worthless until next season/expansion. Theres conquest, and thats REALLY cool, until you cap, then have to wait for next season/expansion. and theres “loot chests” at this point i feel like getting those chests are more of a burden than a reward, they get put into inventory and open up to a handfull of trash thats nothing more than having to keep emptying out garbage from my bag after every round. they hold nothing of value or use to a rated PvP player and frankly its become a nuisance to unpack and click or delete the contents at the end of every match.
would like to hear other peoples ideas on what they feel would put the “luster” back in PvP as a reward for playing.
I used to love playing regular battlegrounds just for the sake of playing on a saturday morning but im at a point now where I feel like if theres no sense of progression or reward for my time playing then im not going to do it.
how about if there were more things you could buy with honor points?
more things to buy with conquest points?
theres a vendor that sells herbs and ore in exchange for honor I think. Last time I checked it was something like over a thousand or two thousand honor points and when you open the ore bag you get like 5 or 7 lowest teir/quality ore. am I the only who thinks this isin’t a fair tradeoff? maybe even a sad joke buy the folks at wow?
anyways, leave a message on things you think would put a but of “luster” back in PvP as a rewards system after honor and conquest cap.
maybe even a straight up gold reward would do the trick. not like 2gold7silver, more like 500 or 1000gold a round would be a good start
*note - I intentionally didn’t mention rating because I think that the chase for higher rating is a meaningless and fustrating endevor only sought out by people so that they can say theyre better than someone else. Im not looking for my own team mates to tell me theyre better than me, im looking for someone to help fight the enemy with. i dont care about your rating.
I’ve never understood the point to capping any currency, but that’s just more gacha elements creeping into the game. As far as rating, well, there’s really nothing else that can be rewarded. PvP is entirely a braggart’s game, a competitive environment. It’s the very definition of ‘I’m better than you at the game and I’ll prove it.’
It’s okay to have a stopping point. They uncapped conquest very early in Eternal season so more casual players were quickly left behind while us sweats pushed duelist+ and upgraded all of our conquest pieces to a crazy high ilev within a day or two.
Thanks for drawing more attention to the issue of incentives in PvP. I pointed out the need for better incentives in this post I compiled.
The current in game incentives would only need a little work to be considered solid incentives if the State of PvP overall in all areas of play weren’t so poor. Due to a lack of routine maintenance in a lot of areas the current in game incentives for PvP fall short of incentivizing players to PvP if this weren’t the case post like yours and mine would likely not exist and there would be more people participating in PvP.
Thanks for drawing more attention to this issue. Myself and a few others are trying to drawn more attention to the dumpsterfire that has become of PvP, I’ll drop by this post you made now and again to help keep the conversation alive, I’d appreciate if you’d join us over on the thread I linked once in a while to help us get PvP some TLC. Thanks.
armor and weapons you buy with said honor and conquest
literal meme worthy junk that has no other use than to be sold for less than 1 gold per item
correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure thats it.
I dont post here half as much as I used to. It has really saved me a lot of headaches and I dont miss it. But seeing im here again i’d also like to mention how this game is 19 years old and we still only have a handful of maps to play on.
I do not miss the feeling of “oh… this map again” every time I play the game on every map.
Arenas are a bit different, still would be nice to add more but god does battlegrounds REALLY need more maps.
what happened to those islands expedition things form BfA??? such a cool way to play the game, something different, fresh, fun, new kinds of rewards all kinds of stuff to do and explore every round and… poof? no more? bring that back and add new maps? god it would be nice to bring that back as a regular game mode that people can que for even if they dont add new maps to it.
Exclusive transmogs that even pvers will never be able to get ever again.
Exclusive weapon enchants.
Titles.
Mounts.
Seasonal Achievements.
You are now corrected. use google next time or que a pvp match and you will see all the rewards you can get, instead of making a trash thread complaining about something you are completely clueless on.
I don’t need rewards to have fun PvPing. My favorite type of pvp is bg’s and you don’t get squat for doing them and i still play them all the time. The reward is playing the game not some carrot on a stick that blizz hangs infront of me.
I pvp because its fun, not for the reward of doing it.
Listen buddy, im not here to get angry, fustrated and argue about ANYTHING. From my point of view thats all you are here to do. I’ll see if I cant unfollow this thread so I dont have to go through another headache next time I check back here.
I think Alterac Valley should once again allow people to loot body parts from enemies and turn them in for gold, Ashran had something similar as well.
Cosmetic armor sets for honor ranks for each faction.
More world pvp events and zones, real zones that is, not some world quest in the corner of a map, have these areas award gear unique to them that is rescaled each patch to match the current tier within its expansion.
New pvp factions to grind rep with, with their own tabards, mounts ect.
Maybe allow honor to upgrade armor in place of flightstones.
Release unfinished battleground maps.
Pvp tier set bonuses.
Pvp for the sake of pvp is fun but there’s a lot that can be added that shouldn’t be seen as a hassle by the developers but fun new things to create.
