PvP Season 9 Has Begun!

PvP Season 9 Has Begun!

The first PvP season of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is underway! Players are now able to compete in level-85 Rated Arenas for top gear, items, and titles -- and for the first time ever, they can enter level-85 Rated Battlegrounds to fight for the same rewards available through Arenas, along with the original World of Warcraft PvP titles. Players can also participate in unranked War Games, skirmishes that allow Battleground and Arena teams to hone their skills against opponents of their choosing -- even if they're in the same faction. So prepare yourselves, aspiring Grand Marshals and High Warlords, as the struggle between the Horde and the Alliance is about to get bloodier.

I find it sad that a muli-million player game can't even get these simple things correct ..... you DO NOT have someone work their ass off, for time, which is hard as @@## to buy mind you, and then come take it away with fluff. Fix the F(*#&%)(*@&# Ques ..... that way a person like me, who doesn't play 10 hrs a day can jump on .... get their pvp on and log out within a hr or so .... not wait for 12 mins in a que that said only 3 mins .... so when that que does pop it doesn't glitch and do that click click up and down crap so you can log out of the game and log back into the game to wash, rinse, dry and fold all over again ...... get this (*#@%& together Bliz, you got the funds me thinks >8)

i know its a late comment considering. I don't get why blizzard would use the same old pvp titles, why take that recognition from the players that did that horrible grind. i would think the pplayers that get the titles probably wished there wasn't thousands of other toons out that with the same title that did do what they just did. blizz fail

I'd like to see Blizzard make a third type of BG where only people who are queuing ALONE can join because just a handfull of organized PvPers can change the outcome of the smallest BG. So there could be one for queuing alone, one for partial groups and finally one for rated BGs for full groups.

They do something like this on XBOX live, why not WoW? ....Just a thought.

@Wülfstår: that is true but as i hunter i still then that they need to tone down pretty much all movement emparing abilities such as rouge slows/stuns and warrior charges. they problems is is that bgs are turning into a stun/slow fest and basiclly dumbing it down for people that cant use there abilites wisely. i would even be willing to have concussive shot reduced, scatter shot cd increased, disengage cd increased or whatever it takes to bring the need for skill back into the game.

As someone who's always been super proud of my original character's Knight-Lieutenant rank, making the titles available to gain again makes me a bit sad.

Please do one of two things.....either fix the BG average "queue time" or fix the game......I am tired of waiting 30 mins on a 12 min queue time to join a BG that is 2 players down to the opposite team. We either remain two players down the entire time.....or we have one (or two) oxygen thief (thieves) that never get booted out no matter how many ppl we get to vote them "afk"...and if.....and .....when they finally do get booted out there is only 2-3 min left in the BG.....WOW...big help there. It would be better if blizz calculated a handicap and gave us more points. I know I said one of two things earlier in my post....but guess what.....I lied like a BG queue timer.....fix this schiesse....bitte

Yeah, Rated BGs that require premades are lame...I wish it was otherwise.

@Theiss: No way premades are the best we use vent and every order is followed unlike regular bgs where everybody runs off to do their own thing. Premades increases wins and if not wins close battle where horde and alliance are at it's best.

ranked bgs fail.
theres no way for a casual player to do bgs now..and save your comments about doing unrated crap because i cant get anything out of it..bite me.

i have one huge reason less to continue playing this game.

blizzard why the HELL do you keep doing this to casual players? and lets get an answer from BLIZZARD..not just from a flaming fanboy that speaks for you ...hmm? any of you devs have the courage to speak up and tell casuals why you keep f**king our game time? lets see...

@Ðethklok: Was scrolling through this stuff, saw you post angrily twice. Probs more but idk. Chillax bro, don't like the game? Don't play it. Blizz is obviously moving the game towards more dedicated players, even making Heroic Dungeons more challenging than WotLK in which pugging can lead to hours of wipes. PvP isn't based around you and your play time, if you want to do Rated BGs, put a group of people together and do it.
I play on a low populated PvE server and I can find ~20 people to do BGs with at a time, only takes <30 mins to put a group together.

@Ðethklok: Just because blizzard doesn't pay attention to the comment of a narrassictic casual player who can't play a game at the optimal level does not mean that blizzard is ignoring you OR trying to deprieciate your game time. that assumption and the fact that valued members of the WoW community dubbed "flaming fanboys" are trying to show you the error of that logic and you immediately dismiss it no matter what their opinion or ideas are, I personally think you should quit Wow because with that attitude I believe you'd be FAR more suited to the isolated genre of a normal RPG. short version "STFU"
