What are the Upcoming changes in PTR concerning battlegrounds?

Ok, myninja posted this in the other thread, thank you.

That is a huge nerf to that trinket, Love it.
That is a good change for sure, but its only one item.

Agreed! I was disappointed. It was implied there would be some sort of gear overhaul that’d elevate levelers to near-twink status in terms of stats and the like. Alas, that does not appear to be the case.

IMO we’re just going to have to wait for patch notes. Blizzard hasn’t released anything official and the only information is what players are posting from the PTR and what Wowhead PTR is showing. Don’t be fooled into thinking “it’s only one item”

Scharzula-earthen-ring · February 10, 2019, 4:48am

at this point it is the only thing shown to us.

Kai-wyrmrest-accord · February 10, 2019, 4:49am

Where’s the post they’ve made that implies there’s more than just this being changed? Not asking with snark, I really haven’t heard anything about changes for items except Ramstein’s.

Myninja-llane · February 10, 2019, 4:49am

You’re more than welcome to go see things for yourself rather than have them shown to you

Scharzula-earthen-ring · February 10, 2019, 4:49am

so more speculation. I will wait for patch notes I guess.

Myninja-llane · February 10, 2019, 4:50am

Unfortunately I don’t think Blizzard has released anything about these changes. I can only offer what other players are seeing on the PTR, which is available for anyone to go and see for themselves too. Other than that, I’m sure it’ll be in the patch notes.

Scharzula-earthen-ring · February 10, 2019, 4:51am

I do thank you for what you have given however. Thanks.

Kai-wyrmrest-accord · February 10, 2019, 4:51am

So, it’s fair to refer to this broad hypothetical as an end-all solution to our concerns as dismissed.

Jugajr-emerald-dream · February 10, 2019, 4:53am

Gear is the concern, so I’d say yes.

Myninja-llane · February 10, 2019, 4:53am

To think there will no longer be complaints is foolish. Some folks only see separation as the answer, and they will die on that hill if they have too. No amount of persuading, arguing your case, or even cooperating to find a reachable solution will change that belief, imo of course.

Kai-wyrmrest-accord · February 10, 2019, 4:54am

Except I’ve shown a solution I would prefer that doesn’t involve separation whatsoever, yet is still apparently opposed.

Myninja-llane · February 10, 2019, 4:57am

We’ll have to continue that discussion in the other thread I suppose. Thinking about it, I kinda want to respect Scharzula’s thread, since its an honest question about PTR changes that I feel deserves honest attention.

Scharzula-earthen-ring · February 10, 2019, 4:59am

I really like your idea, and in the other thread it is lost to over 1k posts. I think you should present it in a new thread that I will happily discuss with you.

Kai-wyrmrest-accord · February 10, 2019, 5:00am

Agreed. I’ll repost the quote there. But on this topic, I’d say more accessible gear to fill the gap is well worth endorsing. Though, I admit I’m skeptical. We’ll see what happens.

Thank you! I’ll clean up the wording and make a new post Soon™. Not sure about tonight, I’m already past due for bed. Long days to look forward to this week…

Scharzula-earthen-ring · February 10, 2019, 5:00am

No worries, I am a bit tired myself.

Oäk-bloodhoof · February 10, 2019, 5:04am

Starting to wonder if you people even see the outside world that goes for both sides every time I see the bg forums you 5 still post

Greyclawe-dark-iron · February 10, 2019, 5:04am

They should access the PTR for best results.
Public information and all.
