In Development: PvP Mercenary Mode

They say, “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer”—and soon, you’ll be able to do just that.

In an upcoming patch, we’ll be adding a feature that allows you to act as a mercenary for the opposite faction in PvP. Whenever your faction is experiencing a long wait time to get into Ashran or unrated Battlegrounds, agents of the enemy faction will appear in your base in Ashran (Stormshield for the Alliance, Warspear for the Horde). These agents will allow you to enter Ashran or Battlegrounds disguised as an enemy player, and actually fight as the opposite faction.

When you compete as a mercenary, you’ll still earn all the same rewards you would have by winning or losing as your own faction (with the exception of faction-specific achievements). You’ll also have your race automatically changed into one appropriate for the opposite faction while you’re still inside the Battleground or Ashran. Perhaps most importantly, however, you’ll experience much shorter queue times, as our matchmaking system will be able to fill up groups much quicker!

Our goal with Mercenary Mode is to allow players who want to participate in Ashran or unrated Battlegrounds the ability to do so without having to wait through long queues, while still maintaining the spirit of the core Alliance vs Horde fantasy. We’ll be testing this feature soon on the Public Test Realm, and look forward to hearing your feedback!

PvP Mercenary Mode Clarifications
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Few points of clarification based on some discussion we've been seeing around the interwebs:

On racials: The current intention is that the system swaps your race entirely, including your racial ability. We recognize that that puts Humans in a weird spot, so we're looking into some options there that aren't "spend your Honor/Conquest on a Medallion."

Only the faction that is currently experiencing a long queue will have the option to act as a Mercenary, and only when those queues reach a certain point (which is still being determined). In the current environment, we expect that to generally be Alliance. Since queues have to reach that threshold before Mercenary Mode becomes available, we don't anticipate an increase in Horde queue times.

Using the Mercenary Mode system is completely opt-in. It's important to us that if you don't choose to participate in Mercenary Mode, it doesn't affect you. Should you be grouped with players who are using the system, they will not be identified to you as mercenaries -- they'll look like just another player from your faction.

Similarly, it's important to note that these are not creating "mixed-faction" scenarios. There will be no Humans fighting alongside Orcs. Again, our intent is that you are completely unaware that the person next to you is secretly a Night Elf.

We don't consider Mercenary Mode to be a replacement for racial balance. We just also don't think that perfectly balanced racials would instantly resolve queue time issues. We also don't think that players should feel forced to faction transfer (potentially away from friends and guildmates) in order to experience reasonable queue times.

The picture in the blog is of one of the NPCs that Alliance players can speak to to activate Mercenary Mode for Battlegrounds. Players who are using Mercenary Mode won't just be wearing a Hallow's End mask, lol.

Ultimately, this system's sole purpose is to help resolve the issue where heavy tilts in faction populations can result in excessively long queue times for unrated PvP content.

Can I queue with my friends that are on horde this way or no?
No. Again, it's only intended to alleviate queue times.

  • See the blog “In Development: PvP Mercenary Mode” for more information.

Upcoming PvP Rewards Hotfix
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Since the release of Patch 6.2, we’ve gotten a ton of feedback regarding the Champion’s Strongboxes rewarded from Ashran and Rated Battlegrounds. We’ve been discussing that feedback heavily since the patch released, and wanted to take a moment to clarify some confusion as well as share an upcoming change.

To start, we’d like to clarify exactly what can be found inside a Champion’s Strongbox, as some (though certainly not all) players seemed to be anticipating items that they’d never have been able to get from the Strongboxes anyway:

  • Strongboxes can never reward items that can be purchased with Conquest Points.
  • Strongboxes can never reward cloaks, necks, or rings.
  • Strongboxes can never reward items with set bonuses.

With that said, we definitely recognize that the Strongbox rewards (or rewards from any box, for that matter) are unclear, and that’s something we’re looking to improve upon in the future.

In addition, we’re currently in the process of applying a hotfix that will remove the Versatility belts, boots, and bracers from the Strongboxes, and make them available on the Conquest vendors instead. Once this hotfix is active, Champion’s Strongboxes will only reward helms, chestpieces, gloves, shoulders, and legs, as well as the Accolade random stat trinkets. Remember that armor pieces earned from Strongboxes do not grant set bonuses, so most players will only want to equip one of those pieces.

We feel that this change will allow there to still be a benefit to earning the Champion’s Strongboxes over the course of the season, but due to the fact that you’ll still want to complete your set bonuses, that benefit will be a little extra flexibility in gearing choices instead of simply having Versatility items another player may not have won. This also greatly increases the chances of earning a desirable item from your Strongbox (at least, until you have everything you want from them) by reducing the overall number of possible items you could get.

Thanks again for all of the feedback on this topic. We’re hopeful that this change will greatly improve the gearing experience in Warlords Season 2, and are taking all of your feedback to heart as we plan for future seasons.

    LOL @ everyone that thinks that people will queue up as mercenaries and try to lose...
    It seems some people can't make a difference between a game and a real life war.
    If this was war irl and your country's future depended on it I can imagine people doing it(if this ridiculous thing was possible lol), but this is a game...who plays to lose lol. And even if there are such people I assume you can count them on the fingers on your hands. Seriously the only people I can imagine doing that are those that are strangely "afraid" by this happening. The fact that, that even crossed their minds kinda points to them wanting to do it lol.

    not sure how it'll work considering that griefing could largely occur by being in the opposite faction. it'll be interesting how it plays out.

    Free transfers fix fuck all. Everybody expects somebody else to move. The only way free faction transfers might work is if they offered incentives to do so. A substantial amount of conquest points or free game time, for example. But then people would bitch about that.

    This seems like a reasonable approach.

    Holy shit, when Blizzard comes up with a decent idea to fix all the Ashran queues, the community goes ape shit and whines. I know it's to be expected, but fuck me the idea is quite good, and WHY would you sabotage the other group when you still get the SAME rewards?!

    This community is absolutely screwed.

    Currently, everything and anything that Blizz does will leave people whining and crying, whether its a great thing, a good thing, or a decent thing. They cannot seem to placate you bumbling fools.

    Please note there may still be areas or pockets on Draenor where flying has not yet been fully implemented. These areas will be tracked and listed in a forum thread titled "Flight in Draenor – Reported Bugs Thread" on the Patch 6.2.1 PTR forum.
    They never wanted flying but lied to us all along.

    Wait, let me see if I got this right.

    Yet didn't they state awhile back, that the content was designed the same as if flying had been allowed, and that less resources weren't used designing the zone because of flying? I even recall their "proof" being that players had explored everywhere with glider and feather. Yet suddenly the zones aren't ready for flying to just be enabled? This doesn't add up to me.

    Hotfix is already live. You can now buy belt, boots and bracers from the vendor. Very nice!

    What do you think you're uncovering here, Colombo? Are you really going to hammer them over a week or two of work to get things ready? There are all kinds of places that people cannot get to using a glider and a feather that someone on a flying mount can as they have full control over their abilities whereas gliders and feathers are in constant downward motion at speed.

    Maybe they put up fucking barriers to keep people out of some areas on the feather and now they are pulling them out or maybe the engine itself has flags for each region to say flying yes/no.

    In short, please give it a goddamn rest and let them take a few days to turn on whatever they need to.

    This should have been done years and years ago, but I guess it's better late than never. One thing that blows is that they will only be in a high level zone which means you can't make use of this while you're leveling and for some reason have terrible queue times in your battlegroup. How are you suppose to sabotage a game when your faction lose all the time anyways? Anyways it has been a problem in wow since they launched battlegrounds, there is very little incentive to actually win a game. So many other mmos have done it right since then, just shocking that blizz haven't copied any of them at all. At least the mercenaries is a step in the right direction but seriously tho, that delay... it's 2015 now, not 2007.

    When people queue up to PvP, they typically have the plan to actually try to win because they're going for gear or they just want to have fun. Long queue times often demoralize people before they even get in the door. So this is potentially a good option. Who would say no if they went from 10+ minute queues to <1 minute?

    The people I see creating trouble are the same people who like to camp low levels, leveling quest hubs, and lesser geared people "for fun". They're the minority, though, and not the majority. In battlegrounds, things are generally more even than out in the world. If someone is intentionally trying to make the team lose, then they could potentially end up reported for it. Since Blizzard apparently does temporarily ban those that AFK in LFR/LFD, why wouldn't Blizzard ban bad sports in battlegrounds? You joined with the pretense that you'd work together as a team to reach a common goal. Even if they don't get reported, the team could easily just let the person or group intentionally trying to lose to get "eaten" by the other team. There's ways to deal with bad sports. The question is if the player base will tolerate such behavior. Then again, if LFR people tolerate people being AFK the entire run, I wouldn't put it past BGers to let people AFK an entire BG. At some point, the player base has to step up and say no. Start reporting those people. The behavior won't change until the player base decides not to accept it.

    As for the masks, Blizzard cleared that up. You won't pop into the BG with a mask. You will actually change races (including racial).

    Honestly, I would have preferred they just let us pick our own racials that we can change like our talents. Let us pick 1 utility, 1 stat booster, and 1 "fun" racial. A utility one might be like every man for himself/herself, rocket boots, sprint, mana torrent, gift of the naaru, etc. Stat booster would be like 1% crit, etc. A "fun" racial might be something more like the goblin bank and vendor reduction (something that has no use in combat). Maybe throw in the profession boosters with the "fun" racials. Doing that would have let Blizzard introduce more racials down the line even if they didn't have more races. Blizzard went through a phase of "bring the player, not the class." Why can't we play any race we want but have access to any racial we want? Letting us use any racial at any time would also let Blizzard individually buff/nerf/remove/add racials without gutting/buffing entire races. Racials could be unlocked via getting exalted with certain factions or doing long quest chains. Factions are so boring and predictable. Adding something like a racial unlock would add something different. Make it so you can get rep via PvE AND PvP so people don't feel forced to do content they dislike. But I guess that would be too much to ask for.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure *most* people using the mercenary system will actually use it because they want to get stuff done without waiting for a ridiculous amount of time. If people want to sabotage the other faction, they could still do it now by rolling a toon on the other faction. But my experience from lfr/bgs is that there is usually someone paying attention to the afk people and demanding for them to be kicked. If you want to avoid these 'saboteurs' (the number of which will probably be minimal/negligible and vastly outnumbered by bots) then be proactive and votekick them too. It's not as if people afking in bgs/instances is something new.......

    Factions are stupid anyways. It annoys me that I can't play with half my friends because of some faction they chose years ago.

    Shame, imho. That would be hilarious and awesome.

    Plus people "MIGHT" xfer to join friends as well on that server.

    "Nobody says no to free things"

    When server reaches a set number of near balance. close off free Faction Change and Free Transfers.
    They used to do exactly this, but stopped. It didn't seem to have much of an effect; nobody wanted to transfer to an underpopulated faction or server.

    Exactly. The PvP community wants to win simple as that. Even before alliance got OP racials Horde were THE PvP faction and has the higher level PvP players. Players followed them and wala faction imbalance. But it's only broken if Alliance is OP apparently

    I don't understand the race change. If you're a mercenary, you should retain your race, but only faction change for the duration of the match.

    That's such a stupid idea. Nobody says no to free things? Then explain why Blizzard says nobody takes the free transfers when they're open? Hm? Explain that. I can, very easily since I have logic and reasoning. Why the hell would anyone want to leave all their friends and a high population to go to some shit ass low pop realm with no people just because it's free? And when they decide they hate it they can't leave without paying money.

    Factions is so 2008, give us the option to betray and join the opposite faction like Everquest. I think it'd be rather nifty being an Orc Alliance member or Gnome Horde member.
