Episode 243 - Ion Said That
Ion said…
"At a high level, we want to serve our PvP community better, but we also need to grow the PvP community in order to justify that, frankly. You know, I think the story of PvP in WoW has been a very passionate core of players that, you know, 20 years ago was larger. The number of people who jumped into battlegrounds, into more casual modes of PvP as a percentage of the overall player base, was much larger back then than it is today. Today, PvP in, you know, particularly in rated forms, can feel very intimidating and can feel hard to get into in terms of the knowledge gap, the gear gap. There's a lot of barriers to entry. And so our focus, with things like training grounds, has been trying to get new people into PvP, trying to build that foundation—like the bottom of the pyramid—so that we can make the whole thing higher and stronger. That's not going to be a process that happens overnight, and I recognize that for players that are focused primarily on that high end of the competitive ecosystem, it can sometimes feel like we're not doing enough. But in the long run, I think for PvP to get the support that we want to give it, we all need to work together to grow that community. And so I think, as we discuss this further, as we get feedback from the community, I'd love to hear ideas and to think together about not just what we can do today to make PvP better for the gladiator-level player, but what we can do to make it easier for people who haven't PvPed seriously in WoW—but love PvP in other games—to get into WoW's PvP."

- Flark’s RBG Tournies happening every weekend - join his discord for announcements

Today we will discuss, Blizzcon..
New Expansion - Shadowlands. Pre-purchase now. Release sometime in 2020.
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/23187293/world-of-warcraft-deep-dive-panel-recap
- New content - new lands. Very different from what we have seen in Azeroth.
- Not factions; covenants (4). Grant powers after you allege with them (1 generic, 1 class specific).
- Soulbinds - bind to a soul for another new ability/aura/something
- Level squish
- The Maw (deadly open-world zone) and The Tower (ever changing dungeon 1-5 person exp)
- Building Legendaries - moving towards deterministic gearing?
- Nothing PVP specific
Esports
- MDI
- +18 keys with 4 affixes
-
- 2 days; 1 day streamed slog fest through mythic dungeons
- Culminated in an awesome Method v Method race
- Check out post-competition interview https://youtu.be/hZCXzgfc8SI
- AWC
- Unitas v Unitas started the day
- C9 v Wildcard Gaming
- Method Black v Wildcard gaming (grand finals)
-
- 2 days of arenas (1 day streamed)
- Some amazing matches
- Check out post-competition interview https://youtu.be/zRcaY_tV_b8
WOW Q&A
- Q: How do you choose between aesthetic of a covenant as opposed to min maxing the best covenant, especially for PvP?
-
- A: Lots of things can be tuned - we kind of took the outlook that choosing a covenant is like choosing a class - lots of viability but choice has to matter. The active abilities is one thing but the soulbinds, etc count. This should be taken as a whole but also there will be lots of tuning knobs. We will not hesitate to disable things in PvP (i.e. Curse of Doom in Classic).
1:17:41 - WOW PVP NEWS

- MLG Stadium is closing - https://esportsobserver.com/adam-apicel-exits-activision/
-
- “MLG Arena was essential to the production of weeks of CWL Pro League play each season in our history. The evolution to a home and away format for events during the 2020 Call of Duty esports season means the MLG Arena is no longer required; therefore, we’re respectfully closing the production facility.”
- This also ended the MLG Arena in Columbus as the AWC LAN location.

- Regarding PvP, we saw many posts from players wondering if getting invited to a party is a good way to escape from PvP combat. I’m pleased to say there’s actually a separate, longer transfer delay following any PvP combat. We know a lot of world PvP enthusiasts are excited for WoW Classic, and we don’t want the additional layers to feel like they’re robbing you of your kills. When the time comes to withdraw from the fight, you’ll have to escape from your enemies and get to a safe place before you’re able to join your friends on another layer.

Today we will discuss the Oasis Discord and building communities!
Overview:
The Oasis discord was created June 10th, 2018 by Cherry to create a safe, non-toxic, supportive PVP community. This was a second attempt at building such a community using discord. Unfortunately, it is mostly NA players, but nothing stops EU players to stop by to ask questions about class, spec, RBG mechanics, etc.

- No discussion or announcement ending the BG though. Game ended early, and then nothing in game, until Chris responded to my tweet.
- Many layoffs happened. We lost two great CMs: Caden aka. “Ythiens”, and Robert Taylor (don’t know his pseudonym).

- Dev Q&A: one part was PVP; Warlocks and DKs.
-
- https://www.mmo-champion.com/content/8066-Developer-Q-A-Ion-Hazzikostas
- DKs are a bit squishy, and they are looking at improving tankiness (counter balance to lack of mobility)
- BfA changed warlocks to more single target. They will be looking at moving them back to multi-trgt dot/rot
- Keep an eye on PTR, as these two classes need some re-work, not just number tuning; possibly some talent changes. Shadow priests being looked at too.
- Devs are being cautious to react. They are being a bit slower to see if meta will shift on its own as counter-comps are developed. Several seasons to follow for sure and changes may happen for them.
- Hybrid healing still being looked at… dialed back
- Running of the Gnomes happened on 13 Oct. It looks like they raised around $8000 this year for the Cleveland Clinic! Congrats! With the warmode changes there were no concerns about ganking and such. It was a very lively group running this year, which my son participated. Also, I saw on social media several blizzard staff participated!
- The best honest lfm post in a while https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20769647402

Shoutout to Wichtin for their email, “Hey TechnicallyPVP! I am a returning resto Druid who has hovered around 1550-1650 for both 2s and 3s in the past and really find your podcast helpful and informative. I’m returning because I found a guy at work who played as well and we want to hit 2s casually as arms/resto. I’d love to hear some more healer oriented stuff because the mist weaver podcast (all 3 hours which I listened to in one sitting) was super helpful for me personally. Stoopzz’s channel is another source I use to get better as well. Anyway, thanks for giving your time back to the community!”
Also, shoutout to Ziggy, on our Discord, who says, “hi, i just wanted to thank you guys, I have been listening to your podcast and watching @The FoxyHippo videos till my eyes bled and i was able to finally snag a spot in my guild's main rbg team.”

Shout-out to Blizzard community manager J. Kartje for providing us four codes to give away to our 50th anniversary show!
So, how this is going to work… shortly after we release this episode, there will be a tweet. You will need to like, follow, and retweet. The contest will run until noon May 1st, 2018. After which time, we will announce the winners via twitter and on our next episode!

Thank you to Alisaunder for emailing in to the show. She suggested that the PVP loading graphic for BGs have some basics of what you are going in to like in HotS.
She also asked about tabards, which she was not aware these are BoP. So now she needs to grind pvp reps to earn her favourites.

WOW PVP NEWS
- A Dev Q&A happened on Nov 16th. From that we got the following news:
-
- They’re looking at h-talents and Prestige. They’re not sure what they will do, but know they don’t want to add another 30 prestige levels. Also looking at honour talents and the feeling of barrier to entry on alts or delayed levelling)
- Legendaries
-
- will be reduced to previous. “Going back” per say. This is good for world pvp
- PVP Server changes
-
- Their intent is not to “kill world pvp” as some are expecting; moreso revitalize. They are creating a proper world pvp space for people who want to elect regardless of selected servers.
- Opens other options like - delay on mount post pvp battle (just an idea)
- Intent is to open “pvp realm” to all (don’t need to server transfer) and will allow for a “global” balancing [aka reduce server faction imbalance]
- RP realm WPVP
-
- Recognize RP realm communities and don’t want to disrupt.
- Expect to flag and still be with others from your realm.
-
- Not sure if this means all or just those who also flagged
- Raiding capitals
-
- No new events added. Would love to see the “enemy at the gates” of old.
- World PVP changes with artifacts - https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/21025532/hotfixes-november-14

Listener Emails
From Alisaunder
People always talk about 3 day Alterac Valley, but no one ever explains why it was that way?
So, why was it? What changed?
I've seen the quest givers but never understood what they were intended to do, or understood why players decided PvEing Alterac Valley against the Generals was better than PvPing each other.

Blizzcon PVP news
- WOW Classic Servers - PVP impacts?
- Warcraft new expac Cinematic
- Islands Expeditions 3v3 resource based objective
- Warfronts 20 man - pve only. thoughts?
- Stat Templates - possible some customization will come
- World PVP server changes - toggling PVP will place you with other people (kinda like sharding). Also incentivizing the toggle with bonuses (not specified yet)
- Ally Races - expect new racials? (no details yet) https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/battle-for-azeroth/features/allied-races
- New BG and Arenas (Seething Shore/Tiragarde and Zuldazar)
-
- BG coming in 7.3.5 - multi node resource with random pre-deterministic locations
- Official Blizz description - “In a new Battleground, Seething Shore, players of the Horde and Alliance will descend upon Silithus to battle over the Azerite bubbling to the surface. This Battleground will offer dynamic control point gameplay similar to Arathi Basin, but with new control points appearing periodically as resources are depleted. This new Battleground will require coordination as you and your team work to overcome the opposing faction. Since this Battleground actually serves to tell part of the story that leads to the events of Battle for Azeroth, we also plan to offer a preview of the Seething Shore during patch 7.3.5 as we continue to build upon the conflict between the Horde and the Alliance for the coming expansion.

Subject of Analysis
Today we will discuss, moving from pve to pvp!
World of Warcraft is primarily a PvE game. When launched, battlegrounds and arenas did not exist. Players created PvP in the open world (the famous South Shore / Tauren Mill battles). Later, Blizzard added BGs and Arenas.
So, how does one move from doing PvE to PvP? Well, we are going to talk with Thyst to see how she did this.
Strategies
- Random BGs
- Skirmishes
- Make friends
- Find a PVP guild
- Watch youtube channels for people who play the same class
- Watch Twitch channels
- Don’t watch tournaments - top ranked play is not the same
- Cynwise - https://cynwise.wordpress.com/
- Pay-wall sites (skill-capped) - they do have some free content sometimes

WOW PVP NEWS
The GCDTV NA tournament 10-12 Mar was very exciting with quite the variety of comps. It ended with team Wizks Return winning over team Northern Panda 4 games to 1. Congratulations to Chanimals, Wizk, Asbur, and Absterge! Through Matcherio.com, the community raised a total prize pool of $2068 USD, with 1st place getting $1240 of that!
Holinka talked some stuff. https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/20564532/watch-the-q-a-vod-with-brian-holinka-here
http://www.wowhead.com/news=261064/liveblog-of-the-legion-pvp-q-a-with-brian-holinka
Most notably: no chance of pvp template/tuning info on the wow site, 1v1/solo queues may be coming (but it’s a difficult problem), pvp obliterum tokens, stacking boomkins and Spriests in RBGs is a problem, and Glad mounts are not going to become account-wide.

Subject of Analysis
Today we will discuss, Shadow Priests.
Overview: Like many classes in this game, the Priest was part of the original ensemble of classes. And Shadow has been doing PVP ever since it was able. It’s tool kit has been strong and meshed well with other classes (shadow play made famous by Talbadar). Shadow priests, like many classes, received a complete overhaul in Legion to include insanity in their gameplay.

Third was a honour bonus for preventing teams from capping.

Overview:
Mages have constantly been a staple class in PVP. Strictly a DPS class they can bring significant damage dealing to the group as well as crowd controlling abilities which synergize well to other classes. They have been deemed the “glass cannon” due to their ability to deal great damage, but also get damaged. Mages have three specs based on the schools of magic: Arcane, Fire and Frost.

Today we will discuss, Demon Hunters.
The Demon Hunter is the newest class added for the Legion expansion of WoW. If you pre-purchased you could play one live during the pre-patch. The Demon Hunter class are only available as elves. The class fantasy is that they have been converted by Illidan, which makes the Illadari (no longer elves). This allows them to speak demon with each other breaking the Horde/Alliance “speech” wall. They have 2 specs: Havok (DPS) and Vengance (Tank). When you create a Demon hunter, it starts at level 98, allowing you to quickly reach max level and enjoy the end-game content.
