The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch is Now Live
Realm Restarts Scheduled — Wednesday May 1
Developer Thoughts - Plunderstorm Game Mode and Feedback
New gaming PC doesnt look right
Rank the Dragonflight Dungeons (beyond knee-jerk reactions)
MMO-Champion
...but is anyone really surprised? Just take a look at the Blizz alpha forums:
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/20743815149Most people I talk to on beta are not happy with the direction legion PvP is heading you can take you're pick of reasons between the pruning or the overall state of PVP being a huge damage/self healing fest that it is.
Even with all the classes tuned properly we will still be left with huge mess that is legion pvp.
it would be really nice if in theses next few months if The Devs were more vocal with the pvp community it really feels like we are being hung out to dry. Holinka's is more or less non existent in this community that should show you how committed blizzard is to PVP
106 days until launch we'll see if they get wasted.

Blizz will be just as happy if you spend the 60 bucks for Overwatch and put your WoW toons on the shelf. As it stands right now though, I won't be buying either OW or Legion.

Legion alpha PvP stinks

Holinka is indeed strangly absent in all this.
I agree that it all doesnt look good, but I am going to wait for the final impressions.

Less dependent on healers? Sounds great, maybe Horde has a chance to win something in the Legion then?

Yeah, support a company that makes shit titles like HotS, or turns decent ones like Diablo and WoW into shit - all for ever more profit & greed. Originally Posted by willtron

It's not nearly as simple as just "less dependent on healers". Try getting informed before commenting. Originally Posted by tankbug

Hots is fun, Diablo is fun, WoW was fun until now-ish, the drought has finally come. Originally Posted by Caolela

Well that appeared to be the gist of it, but quite frankly, I don't care. For me, PVP has been dead since vanilla. Originally Posted by Caolela

The "make money" excuse has been debunked long ago. Wrecking a game or allowing it to be wrecked as Blizz does in the name of profit (encouraging rampant cheating in Rated by letting it happen; D3 RMAH; etc.) may be good for those making the money, but not for anyone else.

On topic. WoW PvP is an afterthought and basically a mini game, they even said adding arena was probably a mistake.

Played a few BGs, it's pretty bad. Especially the "hype" surrounding the new honor system is something I cannot fathom. It's a few talents that you can pick (most of which are passive or pretty bland, at least for Arms) and useless stuff like crests that are shown instead of the low-res Alliance/ Horde emblem in the left upper corner next to your character icon or reskinned mounts. Really nothing to write home about.

Yet they promote arena World Champ tourneys at every Blizzcon, and quickly ban anyone that would be a potential cheater. It's a "mini-game", "an afterthought", but the arena tourneys are always a big deal at Blizzcon where they have play-by-play commentary from Lore and two others, with serious money prizes.

I played some PvP on the beta. I don't like where this is going. Everything is funneling into a tank-hybrid dps selfhealing meta, where people live >10s and tanks are gods.

Aside from some specs doing ridiculous damage, tanks being insane and sub rogues having crazy mobility I'm really enjoying Legion Beta PvP. Seems like I'm the odd one out!

Everyone is entitled to have their own opinion. I was in the alpha and now in beta, and I really like these changes alot ! Just need a bit of tuning , and it will be all good
I see more pros than cons
