Wintergrasp upgraded to level 90

[Lyseria]

Blizzard has finally upgraded Wintergrasp to level 90, and some may not know that. Guards, NPC's Sieges, got their damage increased but also their HP. For example a Wintergrasp Demolisher now got 4,7 Million HP.

When you win Wintergrasp you are given 415 honor points alongside with quests for Witnergrasp that give you 75 honor points each.

I think that more people should def join Wintergrasp since it was def one of the best open world pvp zones ever. Anyways Discuss what you tgink of Wintergrasp being upgraded to level 90 here. Enjoy!

Well on the one hand I would have said whats the point of upgrading it, on the other hand I'm kind of glad they did. Wintergrasp was the most fun open world pvp I've had in wow, so its nice if they introduce something to get people into it again.

they did this when 5.1 went live. your a bit late too the party

[Netherspark]

The problem is that not enough people join to make it enjoyable.

[asharia]

didn't even realise this had happened already. and i doubt many people do

pity i don't have much pvp gear, so i can't really take part. WG was probably the most fun i've had in pvp, back in the day.

[ewokgangbang]

did they up the lvl on the VoA raid too? if not its full of fail sauce, just like most of blizz's decisions

The problem is that no conquest points are rewarded for a win like random BGs.

Been like this for a little bit...I've been doing Wintergrasp right after TB when possible

[Rigimi44]

Yep, I was in a Wintergrasp with 6 Alliance and 4 Horde. We just killed guards to get Siege Engines and blew past the Horde defenders. It gave me enough Honor to buy some Justice Points and a BoA.

They did it in 5.1 but didn't tell anyone that didn't read patch notes so nobody knows to q for it. Which sucks I loved wg.

They need to utilize CRZ for WG to be successful again.

Tip: If you are on offense killing the towers make sure you kill the eastern on first. If you leave it last it will bug and you can not kill it and you will lose all your kill marks and honor. Leave and reque is a fix to getting honor.

As excited as I was for the upgrade, seeing a maximum of 2 people during any battle during high traffic times flat out sucks. They need to incentivize it so people actually queue. Like said above, CRZ is also mandatory to make it work if they aren't going to boost up the honor gains massively.

Considering its unpredictable timeframe that changes based on when the attackers win on each server, I do not see how that's possible.

They could just put it on a regular/normalized timer that disregards length of battle. Like every 3 hours, or whatever.

I didn't realize this was already live too. I remember reading about it in patch notes but I thought it was for 5.2.

Really hope blizz fixes CRZ for WG

its Bugged if you kill it first too... cant tell you the number of times I've been deranked because of that stupid bug that has actually existed since 5.0.4 dropped in August. Blizzard has been told numerous times and jsut flat doesn't give a fuck about fixing it.

they did... 400+ for a win.

TB and WG are both still ghost towns despite the changes. Join at the last few mins for free winning or losing honor.

What would GREATLY up participation for WG/TB would be, the first win each week would grant, say, 150 CP, going past any minor caps (RBGvsArena). Every win after that grants 75 CP, following basic cappage rules. Thus, massive battles for weekly CP, plus continued battles after for the CP thats better then random BGs.
