Why is there no pvp

Attention-bigglesworth · August 31, 2019, 2:21am

In hillsbrad there is literally 0 pvp…i often go hours without even seeing an alliance. This is on a server with a login queue(obv a pvp server). This should be a warzone where questing takes a backseat while you have to band together to push the alliance out of the yeti cave to be able to even think about farming quest drops. This is 100% garbage…WHERE…IS…THE…PVP!!!

On a related note entire zones are empty…maybe 3-10 horde. The world feels void and stupid without people to interact with or form groups. I actually enjoy competing for mobs and quest objectives. yes it can be annoying but it still ads flavor to the game. #removelayering

Have you tried…flagging?

EDIT: nvm I didn’t read first. Try a dif realm?

Zalanii-herod · August 31, 2019, 2:22am

Dunno, seen plenty of pvp in Stonetalon Mountains.

Maybe alliance just wanted to quest

Goldenfrieza-kirtonos · August 31, 2019, 2:23am

reroll on kirtonos and we’ll come kill you.

was just doing precisely this after we got one of our warriors whirlwind axe this afternoon.

Attention-bigglesworth · August 31, 2019, 2:23am

i’m not going to re roll…blizzard just needs to get rid of layering.

Newhealer-tichondrius · August 31, 2019, 2:26am

Whenever I run into Hillsbrad there is always pvp.

Fun as alliance tho because Southshore quests are 30+ and the horde are running in the 20’s.

Narlow-bigglesworth · August 31, 2019, 2:28am

Small Raid in Westfall last night from the Hord Menace; on Bigglesworth.

It shocked a lot of people, for the first few minutes… lol

And Ya, the layering will affect the populations for now, but that too will come to pass.

Attention-bigglesworth · August 31, 2019, 2:30am

you kids are missing the point…this is a zone where alliance and horde share quests and ALWAYS serves up some pvp. Considering the pop of the server you shouldnt be able to go ALL DAY without even seeing an alliance player and only seeing 3-5 horde. Layering/sharding is garbage and needs removed.

Epicac-dark-iron · August 31, 2019, 2:30am

It’s like what, day 5? People are very focused on other things right now.

Attention-bigglesworth · August 31, 2019, 2:31am

bro there is no one here…its not about alliance deciding NOT to pvp…there is just an empty zone where there should be 100’s of players.

Cicera-zuljin · August 31, 2019, 2:34am

Half of the people in this thread don’t get it. I went to ashenvale today (I am alliance) and my god, ghost town. That place was booming and difficult to get around without running into a fight in the original classic release.

Layering is putting you on servers with almost nobody but yourself and 1-2 others. I’ve killed the lonely player or two as I go, but this is definitely not classic. Classic was an absolute war zone.

And before you say anything, I am on herod. There’s no way there’s only 3 players on Zoram Strand. There are probably hundreds. Yet, I see 2. Me and that lonely horde guy solo questing.

Epicac-dark-iron · August 31, 2019, 2:34am

In Hillsbrad, there were hundreds!? If so, they leveled past, and are probably more focused on that sweet sweet 30’s grind. If not, then they are still working their way there. How are people so worried about PvP when the leveling rush is still keeping so many focused away from that… 5 days into release?

Mogar-stormrage · August 31, 2019, 2:35am

That’s layering.

Attention-bigglesworth · August 31, 2019, 2:35am

because pvp while you level IS the game for lots of folks

Cicera-zuljin · August 31, 2019, 2:36am

What are you talking about? There are literally thousands of players on each realm that are in that level range. And only 2-3 zones that are in that leveling range. It should be INSANELY packed. You shouldn’t be able to walk without seeing a player, a dozen. And fights erupting over tension over “This is our spot now”

Epicac-dark-iron · August 31, 2019, 2:39am

Yeah, sure… but PvP at 21?

Cicera-zuljin · August 31, 2019, 2:41am

Half of my best memories of classic were the absolute wars that broke out in zones during classic. Before battle grounds that -was- the games pvp. You’d sound the alarm that 10/15/20/100000 of the other faction was in hillsbrad starting crap. And boom, world war azeroth began. It was glorious.

You will never see this banding together of factions to face off with layering in place. It -literally- destroys the original classic feel.

Felflux-grobbulus · August 31, 2019, 2:44am

I was trying to decide where to go next. So many good memories of Ashenvale, Stonetalon and Hillsbrad. I haven’t explored any of these zones in years, maybe 8…

Triddle-arugal · August 31, 2019, 2:48am

Such a shame we got layering. Try looking for someone to pull you into their layer and see if you can find some PvP that way.

Aroya-stormrage · August 31, 2019, 2:49am

Because the game just game out on Tuesday. everyone is focused on leveling.
