Battle For Azeroth's Pre Event Might be PVP Based

[TayFarr]

Seeing as all of this talk about some sort of battle of lordaeron and plenty of other battles, I've seen Is it safe to say that this Is gonna be a huge world PVP pre event for the expansion Is it?

[WskyDK]

There may be a significant pvp aspect to it, but I'd bet my stash that it won't be only pvp.

[Piamonte]

doubt it, devs seem to dont want to force people into pvp

[Frolk]

Forced pvp is the worst things that ever happend to the game

More likely it will be PVE with a PVP flavour.

Wow, almost like forcing pvp-ers to pve for gear to use in bgs because pve gear is still superior to pvp gear.

May have the new tech and option to PvP, but just like the new content it will have AI grunts for those that don't PvP.

"points to MoP's legendary chain"

Yeah, they don't........

Forced pvp/pve or any content u dont enjoy is bad, imagine having a forced pet battle encounter in a raid or some other shit

[HuxNeva]

Sure, as past forced PvP has proven so successful they are willing to bet an expansion on. Kappa!

You mean organised content wich require 2 players should reward the same gear as one that requires 20?

Because it's really hard to hit Group Finder and look for members. And it's even harder if you have a guild with already willing members.

LFR doesn't reward with better gear than PvP. Normal may be on par with honor gear.
But, if its not difficult what is your problem?

You can only get better if you raid mythic, and that is organised 20 man. More difficult to organise = better rewards. How does this not make more sense?

Yeah, they don't........

It's annoying how PvErs get triggered from one quest in a legendary questchain 2 expansions ago that required 3 BG wins. Like seriously, it wasn't a big deal. Now we look at the current PvP scene that is pretty much dead because blizzard made it required for you to PvE to do well in PvP.

"points to MoP's legendary chain"

Yeah, they don't........

Yeah. They don't. Because there was a significant backlash that you had to have a win in two BGs for the legendary cloak that you had to have otherwise you wouldn't have access to a world boss.

They learned they lesson, and in the next expansion, WoD, there was no PvP involved in the legendary questline.

It was a big deal when you did those bgs at least once, every day, and would not get all the wins you needed until nearly three weeks after reaching that step in the legendary quest line.

if you got a shitty rating, then yes else no

How about rewarding organized content with exclusive armor designs, mounts and other cosmetic rewards?

Why are raiders so obsessed with keeping the gear treadmill in raiding, when it clearly does not function?

How in the hell can it take you 3 weeks to win 3 BGs? I'm thinking that's a gross exaggeration. Sure, you could say you simply suck at PvP. But there are 40 man battlegrounds where you can just AFK and win. It did not take you 3 weeks unless you only tried it once a week.

The best Blizz has ever done for "forced PvP" was the Wrath pre-event. And the neck beards world over pissed and shit everywhere in the forum because Blizz gave us the best event ever.

[MrExcelion]

I think the pre-event is the artifact send-off scenario thing (blue silithus) that won't come for awhile
