Upcoming PvP Update

Recommended Posts

Dear community,

We have carefully read through your feedback regarding the current situation of the PvP scene and we have finally decided to implement the following changes:

  • Respec costs are being lowered from a maximum of 50 gold to 25 gold.
  • Your life time rank won't be enough to get Rank 14 gear in patch 1.11. Instead you will need to be Rank 14 at the time of purchase, as was required on retail (on Elysium PvP ONLY)

Best regards
Elysium Staff

Fuck that unblizzlike bullshit. The reason I went to Nostalrius instead of Kronos after Feenix dies is BECAUSE the genuine goal of keeping it as purely blizzlike as possible.

How is lowering the respec cost a bad thing?  None of you have given a reason yet.  

I can't comment on the 2nd change since I'm not going to get r14.

More changes in favor of non-blizzlike core mechanics of the game. This is such a horrible decision devs.

Very bad decision. Respec cost is there for a good reason. Un blizzlike. What's next? A shop with thunderfury for sale?

Some mediocre specs like feral druid have the advantage of being viable both in PvE and PvP, which balances things out. This change shifts the balance further away from it.

Good change.

+1

A gold sink isn't sinking any gold if you don't respec at all. People will respec more now and actually queue for BGs or go out into the world to PvP.

More gold deleted from the server due to respecing, more active BGs and wPvP.

Good luck convincing me otherwise that this is bad.

 I'm not following.  So now a mediocre spec can be switched to something more efficient more easily depending on what you're doing it's a bad thing?  Basically I don't understand this example at all.

Wrong change for the wrong reasons @ R14 changes. Why the hell would you do this? This isn't blizzlike. No other past vanilla private servers did this. Are you REALLY PURPOSEFULLY trying to kill the overall population health of this server that badly?

Seriously? Because thats what this will do.

Gold respecc being cheaper is also unblizzlike, but obviously no one can honestly say this is 'a bad thing' in the grand scheme of things. Just unblizzlike. Just like the retarded DM N King Teleporting changes, or DM east faster/more trash pats/lessened drops changes to 'discourage gold farming by Chinese'. Unblizzlike Elyisum trends.

Good decision. 

Respec costs at 25g is perfect, making it 50g total to switch back and forth from pvp to pve. 

Playing this game in 2017 is already not blizzlike. In order to have your full 'blizzlike' experience you would have to go back to 2005 where the game was new and fresh.

Blizzard did.

So we traded a change that will encourage more people to respec and queue BG's and go out in the world to PvP which is unblizzlike but actually nice... for a change that is actually Blizzlike meaning people that went to R14 in MC don't just get free C'thun level healing weapons/spell damage daggers/and 1.8 speed off hands for free.

These changes get Elysium closer to Blizzlike and encourages more people to join the PvP pool. Can't complain about that! :D

(Unless you're just salty that you won't have BiS PvE gear for literally ever because you spent 2 months running around WSG. People clearing C'thun should have better gear than someone who afk'd BGs for 20 hours a day, fact.)

1.6 (BWL patch) Patchnotes (http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Patch_1.6.0)
"Honor system reward items with a rank requirement will now require a lifetime "highest rank" of that rank, rather than requiring the character to currently have the required rank."
This change just punishes people who ranked earlier. For no reason


reduced respecc cost is a good thing tho. makes people actually play proper speccs in pvp and pve without spending their entire week having to farm gold (in other words people can have a life and still afford respeccs)

is it related to r14 weapons only? will warlord gear with updated stats be available in 1.11 for old rankers?
