Blizzard has posted some preliminary info about the upcoming PVP battlegrounds.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/pvp/battlegrounds.html

Sounds pretty damn cool to me

 

[Harmonica]

Is this an expansion or is it just something that will be introduced for free?

 

[sefskillz]

Free, but it was supposed to already be implemented for public launch I believe.

 

[Littleberu]

Free, but it was supposed to already be implemented for public launch I believe.

No. It never was supposed to be implemented.

 

[Jack Random]

Battlegrounds sounds like it's going to kick 31 flavors of ass... I just hope they solve some of the other problems first

 

[Hooker]

I like this the most though, the PvP mount and armor kit:

I reckon you have to win some sort of tournament to get those

 

[Zelda-Bitch]

The Battlegrounds sounds so friggin awesome. Can't wait until it's implemented.

I like the whole summoning a guardian thing after raking in enought kills. Tha should make things interesting.

Also, the elite bosses (with uberloot both sides will be fighting to get) sounds crazy..

 

[sprsk]

i cant wait for this.

Blizzard has the best designers in the industry. Battlegrounds will fucking oan.

I was pissed off that this wasn't patched in on launch day. The more I think about it though, it's probably best that this go thru tons of internal testing. This is very likely what most of us will be doing for the rest of our char's lives once we hit 60 (w/ the occasional raid), so it's important that this be fully fleshed-out and not half-assed.

That said, the wait was much easier before reading that EFF'ING AWESOME PREVIEW.

 

[Mrbob]

Hoooolyyyy shit, this sounds fantastic. This is like a game within a game! It even means lower level peeps like me can compete and do side quests to help out the Alliance!! Blizzard rox!

 

[PhlegmMaster]

I'll buy WoW the day this is implemented.

Why not buy it now? Enjoy the game for what it is (The best MMORPG on the market), and
when battlegrounds hits (which shouldn't be too far away), you'll be leveled enough to take advantage of it.

When the Battlegrounds debut, you will be able to collect quest loot and trophies off of players you kill. For example, if you are a Horde player and kill an enemy PC, you will be able to take from them their blood. Not only will this be a trophy of your victory, but in the Battlegrounds, amassing the blood of your enemies will have an awesome and powerful effect. If you and the other players on your team bring enough enemy blood, and by that we mean hundreds, to your side's head shaman, he will begin a ritual to summon an immense elemental, which will then march methodically into the enemy camp to destroy it. Likewise, for the Alliance side, bringing enough trophies to your head spellcaster will call an equally powerful being to your side's aid.

That owns so hard.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

This sounds cool. I really can't wait for this because I want to own the alliance

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

That owns so hard.

Ah...the sweet spoils of war. 'Bout time Blizz let us loot fools.

 

[Bregor]

Ah...the sweet spoils of war. 'Bout time Blizz let us loot fools.

I don't think they mean items. You can get their 'blood' and insignia.

Why not buy it now? Enjoy the game for what it is (The best instant gratification Diablo clone on the market)

Diablo... clone? Yeah, right.

Not even close WoW is easily the best MMORPG on the market and does it so well that you wonder why the others never gave you this experience before.

I've played plenty of MMORPGs going all the way back to Ultima Online and this is the first one that I've enjoyed enough that I can actually see myself playing it for a year.

 

[akascream]

Lol, yeah. Onyxia is the essence of instant gratification.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

I don't think they mean items. You can get their 'blood' and insignia.

I know, I know; same difference, though.

I hold faith that they'll integrate PvP quests where you kill enemies of near your level for trophies outside of this, too. It'd help clear up Orgrimmar's downtown of auctioners/crafters, (damn logjam at the entrance slowing my FPS to a crawl...).

Buy it now, level up your character and be ready the day battlegrounds hits the game.
