They just opened paid transfers and funnily enough you can transfer from PVP to PVE but not the other way around. No faction limits.

Same as it was during vanilla. Not being allowed to move from PvE to PvP is not new.

Yeah, somehow people think leveling is SOOOO much harder on PvP than PvE. Which aside from when the honour system came out whiteout BG's is just plain not true.

It can be much easier to farm rank 14 in a PvE server aswell. I have a friend that only required 400k past week for standing 6.

If someone realises this and is serious about getting 14... They will just Transfer. PvP --> PvE is possible

I expect a bunch of people to move to low pop factions on servers to make it easier to get ranks yes.

My guild atm is super casual and they still farm all content with no mandatory gear/consumables/specs and not even having a full raid, about 25-35 people usually and highest i saw was 37 with pugs.

The people that actively pvp have high pvp ranks because instant queue AV at any hour of any day and the average pvper gets a small fraction of the honor/week compared to servers like gehennas so they don't have to put in a lot of hours or play at any specific time to get high standing.

Pretty good life, i am gearing my hunter a bit for farming and leveling alts while i think about what to play in raids after BWL. I feel pretty bad for the people playing 5x more hours with strict rules for literally the same end state.

The guild I’m with on Earthfury puts out two full MC raids a week, and our raid one clears MC and Ony in just under two hours. There was a bit of drama and a recent GM ouster, but those seem to be blips and I am really enjoying the game still

Guild leader asked to have a look at the state of the bank, bank dude took offense, gquit with his buddy which happened to be our raid leader ("I am the guild" he said) and main tank and a bunch of people followed. Anyway I filled a slot for another guild because we we would not raid before I go to holidays and everything was smoother and faster, as a first time wow player it made me realize our raid leader was far from being as good as I thought he was, so not a big loss outside of the bank (somehow managed to convince them to give half back).

Also leveling an alt after a hunter main is a pain, no more cheetah, personal tank, "oh shit" button, dots on the map to say where is the mob I'm looking for and generally not giving a shit about the number or the level of mobs pulled. At least I have lots of money to feed the alt thanks to dire maul.

.

To be honest, instant queues are a trap when farming honor. In the horde atleast you can go to stretch your legs, farm something meanwhile, watch a tv show, etc, and you know you are competing against people who have the same queue times than you.

For getting rank 14 it sounds awful but i blame that more on the atrocious top half of the ranking system. For general fun play though i love it, there's absolutely nothing worse than sitting in a queue for 25 minutes and then getting backfilled into a game where you're going to lose in 10 seconds and get kicked to the back of the queue.

Porting out after a win or a game that didn't go great and having 40 horde waiting for you, 24/7, to go fresh right away is just cool

I always had to sit in queues in vanilla-TBC when i actually did lots of pvp and it got old really fast sitting in stormwind for a quarter to half of your play time. With Honor2.0 spending more of your time in BG's directly translated into earning gear faster too.

It was great for about 6 months but I'm real bored of it now.Haven't played for a month or so.No desire to go back.

How I played it heavily for 3 years back in 05-08 I have no idea.I think I got bored of it then but kept logging in to chat/game with guildmates.

I loved vanilla wow for wpvp from start to finish, but blizzard servers are undercrowded because of layers and because the max population isn't that high (apparently the way they rewrote something or their hardware can't handle a high amount of players). And also because they are region-locked, so there is even less population off peak hours. So, some private servers remain by far the best vanilla experience for me, but right now there isn't one with a high population like before Classic. So I'm waiting for that and I will greatly enjoy playing again. I will make several chars and do a ton of wpvp from lvl 20 and have a lot of fun. Count kills and deaths instead of going for ranks, and attack green chars too. Fresh^^

Hi friends,

Last time I played WoW was during Legion and it was amazing. I skipped BFA but since Shadowlands is coming out soon and most places are still on "lockdown/quarantine" I was thinking of getting back into the game again.

I was looking at the content reveal and it says that the new level cap is 60. So does that mean when I purchase Shadowlands then my lvl 110 char will be reset to 50? Then I can just level from there? What about all my other toons that are lvl 100+?

Thx in advance <3

edit: fuck, wrong wow thread.

Yeah, I wish they’d do a better job at maintaining populations on servers. Like, if you’re a Classic player, I imagine most of the issues you’d find in retail are because of bandaids they’ve had to apply because they just give up on server population/balance.

Since all i do in this game is wpvp, I sorta gave up on retail even at TBC because of flying mounts.. I took a try at wotlk and cataclysm but they were both pretty dead in terms of wpvp. Even in vanilla, there is some significant amount of problem that comes up at Nax due to the last tier of gear getting too much bigger numbers, and this only got worse afaik with all expansions. And always, flying mounts etc. Phasing, lol. So yeah for me as wpvp player wow = vanilla. For this, only some pservers ever made a big realm that gave an uncomparable experience. It's rly rly great to play on such a realm. So I'm just waiting for the next one, maybe it'll happen. [need 4K+ and best is 8K+ for rly great realm because the world is huge, no layers ofc and usually they have increased view distance which is very nice. Annnd they respond much faster than blizz servers so much better micro^^]
