Blizzard mentioned they are looking at ways to balance pvp in wrath.
" * Race and Faction Change services will likely not be available in Wrath of the Lich King Classic and the team is exploring various ideas on how to balance racial abilities, considering something fantasy-forward.
How do you think they will handle this?
In the worst way!
They aren’t doing it the same way they did before? Was kind of cool being a super strong on major imbalanced servers.
Sure, fighting 20 v 1 still meant the 1 lost due to kiting, but it was fun for me regardless.
Allow faction change only to the least populated faction.
Anyway it look like that players don’t care about faction balance. All they care about is increase the pool of available players in their faction which lead to monofaction server.
Ahhh your wrong again buddy.
Look at Grobbulus.
PvP’ers do want faction balance, and will go out of their way to ensure a balanced server.
I’d be more interested in seeing if they change how rating gated gear works in Wotlk.
If I remember correctly every main piece item (like gloves and chest) had a separate rating requirement for the current seasons items as opposed to what TBC has where only shoulders and weapons have rating requirements. This is for the epic items of course, blue set doesn’t have rating requirements.
1 balanced server among a ton of unbalanced ones = i’m wrong.
The biggest server Firemaw was balanced like Grobbulus few weeks ago, and now it’s 63/37.
They had to lock transfert to Gehennas because Firemaw’s Horde players were transfering to this Horde only server.
My bet is instanced crossrealm wintergrasp vs the other faction, if that’s not it, there’s really nothing left other than allowing everyone to enter voa even if u dont control wg.
They won’t nerf human racial
It’s really simple. If they want pvp balance they need to remove racial use from arena. That’s the best step they can take.
Just remove races from the game and make the race you want to look like changeable in the barber shop!
Horde vs Horde battlegrounds.
WotF Broken for Classic/TBC = sleep
Hardiness Broken for Classic/TBC = sleep
Humans extra trinket slot broken for wrath = no no no no no no
They should’ve removed racials as soon as arena hit. Tons of alliances supported it but horde came in droves to tell us that WOTF wasnt that strong… the hillarity.
Hey buddy,
Your forgot Human perception in there, which is the most OP racial to ever exist in arena.
It’s definitely strong, but no it’s definitely not the strongest. yikes. Besides we wanted ALL racials removed. That was the point, maybe you missed that part.
Nobody wants all racials removed, only bads want that.
We want balanced racials.
You want Blizzard to balance racials for you? GL. Orc dominates the pvp ladder even today. In retail Orcs make up 33% of the ladder above 2k. They’ve had near 20 years to balance racials and they still can’t. What is your confidence they can balance racials before wrath drops?
We only wanted them removed in arena and it’s a fair solution. I’ve seen people talk about allowing players to choose the racials they want, but people get in a huff about lore implications.
Imagine picking the one server out of 40 and using it as the example of “what players want”…
LOL
I do not believe this is accurate in any way shape or form… but w.e
Better not nerf EMFH. They left racials in vanilla classic and then TBC arena, but now they want balance… Complete joke and straight up breastfeeding horde at that point if this does happen.
