Hi All,

It seems to me Blizzard have added new content that already old and many people are not excited by its entry into the game. Not only this site but many other sites are discussing the lack of Blizzard actually getting it right. Blizzard why don't you add some more quests that will allow us to enjoy the game while we are not raiding. Daily quests are BORING!! even though I know there are very useful for raiders requiring money to buy consumables etc.

Are we setting are standards too high or is it Blizzard has become overconfident in their reign as NO.1 MMO and need a kick up backside! I presume the latter.

Agreed. The updates have had less and less taste each time, at level 60 WoW had some point to it now every update is pretty much the same, guilds were pretty much done Ulduar the first week it came out (The good guilds) and all the raids lack interest... Karazhan was really original and so was MC and all the other 60 and 70 raids... Blizzard has just gotten lazy and it's starting to ruin the game... They're running out of ideas.

Hi Everyone,

This seems like a fun place adding air warfare, but with all the gear needing arena rating and if you dont have deadly you get your face kicked in. I really think they sould bring back titles for BGs and you get get the Deadly / Furious (like the old days) because most the players in WoW hate arena now-a-days + you could get those titles that always made you feel like a BA. Thats just my two copper.

Yeah, the current state of WoW pvp is quite sad. Does the gear matchmaking check even still function? For those of us who enjoy larger-scale pvp (no arenas, please), there are very few rewards to encourage us to play. Time-to-kills are also extremely short. Blizz may need to make a pass on the way their pvp functions at the moment. When I feel like pvping, I quit WoW and load up Team Fortress 2.

Meatpie, it will be another pug run with bad pvpers. New content is nice but imagine if your guild leaders said you are not good enough in a raid you don't deserve gear. They loot it all for themselves. No one would raid! This is today's pvp as we know it. Real sad, I remember the good old days.

Vector, Blizzard destroying pvp as we know it because they (Blizzard) could not stop Botting is a very weak argument. It loses with the fact arena is dieing and bg's are empty now as a result. Gear requirements should be by skill which penny pinching Blizzard would not figure into the mix. Try making a premade now a days for a BG; you will sit out side for hours. Now, two strong premades against each other is uber pvp action. Something 2v2 and 3v3 can't match. Blizzard dropped the ball with pvp and new content will not regain it!

im looking forward to it, i love AV and this should help alot... lets hope

Vector2108 — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 07:17:49 GMT

they went to the honor/arena points/rating gear to keep people from just botting in bg's and honor farming.

gizmovision — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 06:58:17 GMT

yeah more ways to gain honor and yet no more gear, where is the Strand gear, and another new BG to get a mark to trade-in with 4 others for hnr.

new content is good, maybe i can trade my marks for arean points to use towards arena gear seeing there in no straight hnr weapons or tokens and hnr for weapons/armour...( i also don't do Arenas)

Angel, its new content, which is always good. This looks like, SoTA + AV = ???. Might get confusing, it would be battlefield, with everyone whoring the aircraft xD

dch48 — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 19:54:48 GMT

Sounds like fun. A combination of AV and Strand with some new elements thrown in. I'm looking forward to it.

angelrock — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 19:47:05 GMT

Does it give arena points. No. To get battleground pvp gear you have to arena now which most of us don't. Might be fun but what is the point/gains? Why would I waste my time?
