Title: Wintergrasp Post by: Ragnoros on October 09, 2008, 01:37:43 PM Wintergrasp is probably the thing I am most looking forward to for the expansion (new PvP options besides arenas and the same 4 BGs. YES PLEASE!).
Seems about half the f13 populace is in the beta, where is the info? Is it fun? Is it broken? TELLS ME! Title: Re: Wintergrasp Post by: Fabricated on October 09, 2008, 01:49:57 PM I'm in the beta but I haven't been yet. I guess the destroyable walls and some of the geometry is still pretty buggy so people holding the fort so to speak have a lot of ways to hit-and-run back to cover.

Alliance outnumber horde on my server somewhere in the vicinity of 3 to 1. I can't even remember the last time I saw Halaa being red on the map, I hope Wintergrasp doesn't end up the same way.

On Beta, from what I've read, it's still very buggy. So hard to gauge what they've managed to come up with. Title: Re: Wintergrasp Post by: Ratman_tf on October 09, 2008, 03:33:42 PM Wintergrasp, as advertised, is what I was hoping WoW PvP would be like from the start. A game of Warcraft III with the players as the units.

The other obvious issue is WTF goes to Nagrand once you've finished the quests or done your fire-ball daily? What seems to happen in Nagrand on Proudmoore is that when people see Horde attacking, we let them take over and do their turnins, then a raid forms, we all PVP one another for a bit, then we eventually win and Horde stop turning up. |
