The PvP event in Nazjatar from World of Warcraft has been abolished – at least on some realms. We reveal what is behind it.
Every 3 hours (at 9:00 AM, 12:00 PM, etc.) a special PvP event takes place in Nazjatar, the new area from Patch 8.2 in World of Warcraft. Here, players from both factions can participate to capture control points and then be rewarded. But this is now completed in many cases. On some shards, the PvP event is simply disabled and replaced. The reason for this is that the balance was inaccurate.
What was the problem? During the PvP event in Nazjatar, players always split up. Due to group searching or a strong imbalance between the server factions, one side dominated while the other side simply switched to another shard to win there as well. Thus, Horde and Alliance played “individually for themselves” and there was hardly any PvP.
What has been changed now? Blizzard has now made a change, so that the PvP event in Nazjatar is only triggered when there are enough players from both factions present on the respective shard (which is essentially an “instance” of the area). If this is not the case, another world event is simply triggered: The attack of the Naga commanders. Here, elite Naga spawn at different points on the map that must be defeated in a PvE battle.
What about the rewards? To ensure that players from unevenly populated shards also have a chance to obtain the rewards that can be purchased with the battle commendations from Nazjatar, these are now also dropped by the Naga commanders. Originally, this was a pure PvP currency that was only available for the PvP event and for collecting the supply crate. Now the tokens are also available for participating in PvE.
Players have mixed opinions: As so often, Blizzard’s decision is hotly debated. Some welcome the change that Blizzard has introduced a solid replacement for the unfair PvP event. Other players wish that Blizzard would finally get a grip on the problems with sharding and create balanced conditions so that such PvP events become attractive again.
What do you think of this change? Is it good that Blizzard is reacting so quickly? Or is it just a stopgap measure that obscures a larger problem?
