Major changes to the PvP of World of Warcraft are set to provide more clarity. The rewards will be more attractive and easier to understand.
With the expansion Battle for Azeroth, there are once again significant changes to the PvP of World of Warcraft. However, those participating in rated battlegrounds or arenas can now look forward to it. The new ranking system offers clear rewards and a weekly payout at raid level.
What will change? Players will no longer receive a title only at the end of the season; instead, they will be assigned ranks corresponding to their performance beforehand. This will happen in real-time. In rated PvP, there are the following limits for their ranking:
- Fighter: 1400 – 1599
- Challenger: 1600 – 1799
- Rival: 1800 – 2099
- Duelist: 2100 – 2399
- Gladiator: 2400+
Each of these ranks will provide its own reward, which will be visible in the game beforehand. This way, players can clearly and purposefully work towards specific items.
More rewards through Conquest points: Each week, players can fill a type of “experience bar” with Conquest points through PvP. If they do this, they will receive an additional reward chest at the end of the week containing a set piece from the current PvP season. This will be visible beforehand, allowing players to gather an entire set throughout the season. The item level of the reward is based on the highest rank at which they won a match in the previous week.
Titles only for the best of the best. How exactly the coveted “Gladiator” title will be obtained is still unclear. Here, players need to “win a few more matches.” And still, only the very best will receive the respective Gladiator mount.
In general, the rewards in PvP of World of Warcraft are intended to rely somewhat less on RNG.
What do you think of the new system? A good thing? Or will you wait and see how this all plays out in Battle for Azeroth?
