Day 2 I hit 60 with WM on… was being slaughtered in the Maw as alliance died 5 times back to back.
So I turned WM off. Yes there are Horde dominant shards doing the same thing, just went on my DK who doesn’t have much stygia to check it out and about 15 horde players camping the Ve’nari entrance.
i feel like so many alliance transferred to horde - that horde is the new alliance now lol…they’re like timid and scared or something.
which i guess they should be…we beat them in the last war so…
You only got that when you hit 60? Lucky you lol
I’ve got 2 60’s so far, planning to level 14 more to 60.
But ya literally just logged on my DK and Horde is doing the same as the alliance group just different shards.
Plenty of nods in SL to other and older games ranging from GW to ES. Seen a few nodding to Daggerfall and Morrowind
Blizzard is not afraid of things like that. It’s almost a kind of arrogance, saying “we’ll build our world on the bodies of all these other games”.
But, meanwhile, back on topic, the point of Warmode is to allow PvPers to do so in the open world. If you’re getting a bonus from WM it means your faction is outnumbered, and maybe you should think about turning it on in such a chokepoint as that.
-------------------> The Point
Your Head
Have you tried turning WM off?
Umm… yes it is. It’s PvP that happened in the Open World.
If only there was a PvP solution to a Voluntary PvP mode problem… oh wait there is.
Well this makes me sympathetic to your argument.
You voluntarily agreed to World PvP at anytime no matter the odds when you activated Warmode. War isn’t fair.
The real key here is that this it not a surprise. This was done intentionally, and by design. Blizzard is always doing things like this that encourage bad behavior. They could have easily put the portal in the safe area, as well as give the safe area to entrances.
But they didn’t, and they did so on purpose.
Worse, is that it costs players resources when they die. Death is not “free” in the Maw like it is everywhere else, it costs Stygia.
The 3rd problem is that you can’t even corpse drag out. You get reset back in the safe area, so you can’t even to the tried and true method of running back to your body, advance past it to the edge of the ACCEPT rez button, click it and run, hoping to make it another few feet past the gauntlet.
Nope.
You’re reset back to the start, immediately, and can’t get out. So you have no recourse but to turn WM off, hearth, or mage portal.
You also have folks on the periphery of the safe area, taking pot shots, bouncing back in to immunity, pop out, light something off, pop back in.
It’s exploitive of pretty much every bad PvP mechanic we have, all in a single place, and a single place that everyone needs to go.
And it was all done on purpose. Some folks in Blizzard HQ are reading these threads and raising their glasses.
Cheers!
I don’t pvp ever
But if I did, that would happen to me one time and one time only.
WM toggles off for reasons like this, use it
I don’t use warmode outside of leveling.
Totally right. They should remove PvP servers and make world PvP a totally opt-in experience.
I play horde mainly right now, and yeah it’s definetly a change of pace xD I’m enjoying being the faction being chased for once.
Op needs to turn off WM, what they are doing isn’t greifing
Now if they took raids of max levels and just rolled lowbies all day, THAT even in a pvp setting is grefing.
Ah yes, another “I want to be in War Mode, but not when it is inconvenient” thread.
What bothers me more, is that the port is out there…like why not move the camp to the port lmao.
This is exactly what world PvP is suppose to be. The entire point is that if you don’t like that the other faction has taken control over that territory, you need to grab your own 40 man raid army and kick them out.
If you want balanced and fair team or solo combat there are Battlegrounds, Arena, and Duels.
Crazy idea. Killing a player in the Maw causes Jailer Aggro. Your killing his easily deluded assassins.
Even then thats not griefing. That’s called World PvP. Don’t like it, get your own 40 man raid army to defend the territory you want to level/quest in.
Blizzard gives every single player the ability to OPT OUT of PvP that they don’t want to participate in. Turn off War Mode if you are afraid for your lowbie’s life. There’s absolutely no point in you having it turned on if it’s going to ruffle your jimmies that someone ganked you.
