| |
If we look at the current battlegrounds, some of the most common fps models are represented:
1) Capture the Flag (Warsong Gultch)
2) Accumulate Resources (Arathi Basin)
3) Massive Outdoor Conflict (Alterac Valley)
With the expansion it would be a great time to add another battleground along the lines of a smaller (10-15 man max) objective/time based map. Those familar with Unreal Tournament's Assult maps will know what I mean. For example:
Horde starts on offense, Alliance on defense (this is random). Horde is given 20 min to complete a series of ojectives to gain entry to, and to destroy, an Alliance catapult that sits in a secured location on top of a castle. If Alliance prevents Horde from completing the destruction of the catapult (picture a siege type map) then Alliance wins and gets bonus honor/rep.
Thoughts? (sorry if this has already been suggested)

I always considered AB more of a Capture and Hold sort of thing.
The new outdoor PvP models have resource accumulation (Silithus) and capture and hold (EP) as well.
I think these sorts of PvP models are something that players tend to understand and are something that can be implemented in a way that people find fun at the same time.

Q u o t e:
Half the fun is the reward, and if the reward sucks, why bother to have half as much fun for nothing?
I tend to disagree. I happen to like playing for the thrill of it both for the killing/defeating another player and defeating another team. In the end what I get out of it is the 'you win' notification. That works just fine for me and I know many others that feel the same.

Q u o t e:
Things like this scare me. I personally think there is no point to doing something if I am not getting any items (esp since that is how we basically level after attaining level 60).
SOOO, with a mind set like that... we can see why 1.12 World PvP is so weak.
That said, I do like world PvP.... but is there a possiblity to get battlemasters in Silithus and EP so that we can go to and from bgs there?
My mindset of what I personally enjoy in my pvp does not mean that design is based on it. I was merely relaying why I enjoy PvP. I also realize that while I have a certain level of what I enjoy, others want rewards so their time means something to them.
That said, the idea behind NOT having large rewards in World PvP is that it is not meant to replace battlegrounds. It is just an additional choice of activity within those zones. There are more battlegrounds planned for the expansion as there are also more World PvP events being planned as additional activities for people out in the world.

Q u o t e:
Neth is this a possibility
Putting battle masters in both of these new pvp areas so we can que for BG and do World PVP while waiting plz!!!
I don't know Deaddrummer. I think it's likely that the battle masters will have a similiar setup to what we have now but like anything, there is always room for new ideas to be considered should they be deemed reasonable enough to implement.

The unofficial Blizzard motto, it is. Right there.
It's always so fun to take things out of context and twist them around isn't it?
If you read further I even say that different people have different ideas of what they enjoy including people that would rather get some sort of bigger reward for their PvP. I am fully aware of that as is the team.
I also reiterate though that the World PvP is not something that is meant to replace the Battlegrounds. It is just an additional choice of activities that people can do in those zones.
For those that want more significant rewards, they can get them in the Battlegrounds OF WHICH there are more battlegrounds and World PvP events both planned as a part of the expansion.
