War Mode provides a way for both styles of gameplay to co-exist for every player-and with the way realm sharding works now, we felt this was the right opportunity to let players choose.īy toggling War Mode on, players will venture out into a world full of others who have made the same choice. Conversely, they could have chosen a PvP realm to start, but later decided it wasn’t for them anymore. They might have picked a PvE realm purely because their friends were there, even though they were interested in open world PvP. With War Mode, we wanted to solve the problem of some players feeling “locked” into one play style or another by their realm choice. Whether that means opting out of world PvP entirely, gathering allies and venturing out into dangerous lands when the mood strikes you, or turning on War Mode and never looking back-the choice will be yours. Players can decide on the type of gameplay experience they want to have no matter their realm of choice. This new system gives us the opportunity to revisit World of Warcraft PvP as an open-world experience, building on the latest game technology available. War Mode tears down boundaries and server rule-set distinctions, allowing players on any realm to decide when they want to jump into a world PvP experience full of like-minded players in the ongoing battle between Horde and Alliance. We’re introducing a new way of getting into PvP out in the world with a system we’re calling War Mode. As with your class talents, you’ll need to be in a rested area to switch between these. This system offers more options for customizing your character to suit your play style or your environment, whether that’s world PvP, Battlegrounds, Arenas, or the new Dueler’s Guild (more on that below). By level 110, all PvP talent options will be available to choose within the Talent pane (N). You’ll earn this crowd-control breaker at level 20, choosing from one of three available options via a fly-out menu. In Legion, PvP talents were organized in rows of three, much like regular class talents in Battle for Azeroth, players will be able to select any three PvP talents from a large pool of options, along with a special crowd-control-breaking talent (variations on the old “PvP trinket”). In Battle for Azeroth, we’re streamlining the system so that PvP talents will become available as you level, keeping players on more even footing. In Legion’s current Honor Talent system, talents become available as you earn Honor levels through participating in PvP, which puts players looking to get into PvP for the first time at a disadvantage until they earn the tools everyone else already has. With Battle for Azeroth, we’re making changes to how we’re handling talents in PvP. In this preview, we’ll give you a bit more information on what’s in store for each. Your donations will help us travel to all the Blizzard events we attend year-round to bring you the latest interview with the developers, photos, and panel videos (where allowed).Many PvP additions and updates are coming with Battle for Azeroth, including changes to PvP Talents, the introduction of War Mode, Bounties, and a new Dueler’s Guild. ***Fans who would love to watch Blizzard-related panels and appreciate our efforts can support Blizzplanet's patreon in a monthly-basis, or a one-time basis.
