There really should be some sort of a PVE mode for the rare World of Warcraft player that enjoys MMORPGs.There's already a fully fledged Battle Royal game called "Fortnite" that does all of this much better.
Ah yes, lets make a game focused on pvp for max rewards but let the things you need to pvp be totally random. Don't get whirl early then get bent!
The whole crap mode feels like one big punishment on players, first you are forced to wait up to 1 minutte before match starts and then some stupid ****head choose to land next to you and you wont have time to do any achievements because the guys kills you and you get 62 crappy rep. Way to screw people over.
PvP..? -_-
Appreciate the time you took to create this article.I'm not really in to this mode, but will try to get the rewards using some tips mentioned here.Wish Blizzard would've at least made this mode a different launch-able game from the Battle.net app,or maybe a queue-able mode in retail WoW itself.That way, I could at least play plunder while waiting in queue for BGs or something else.I hate that you have to either choose between plunder or retail wow.
Even if you may now get an acceptable amount of renown per match for winning, fact remains: the best way to get the most renown per hour is to do your quest and RUN INTO THE STORM.Praise Be The Stormwall.
No one is forcing any of you to play this game.If you want to make yourself miserable in a game you dislike just for the rewards then that's a decision you make yourself.Stop acting so entitled.
Next time please blizzard make olny pve option too. Or at least inform me that those mounts and mogs would be available from the trading post so I don't feel forced to do something I don't enjoy. I like the idea but hate forced pvp on it D:
Honestly, I also hate PvP and am absolute trash at this game mode. My goal each game is to just try and get the quest done. I've had games I finished with less than 50 plunder as I landed near another player and died.This game mode is simply a hellish grind until I have the pets. My spreadsheet tells me I'll need to do about 200 more matches to get to renown 30 for the last pet.Two things they could do to vastly improve this game mode to actually make it decent for "all" players.1. Grant a minimum amount of plunder for just doing a game. Not a lot. 100 would be fine. But something would be nice.2. Have a brief PVE mode. Queue as PVE, unable to attack any players at all, only world mobs and quests. Then when the storm is about half way in, auto flag everyone for pvp. Should give you enough time to run around and simply get the quests done. Get yourself about 400 to 600 ish plunder and your good. PvP players get more gold and faster so it's still a game mode geared primarily for them but PVE gets some time to accomplish a minimum amount playtime before tanking the dirt.
Well, you do get mythic armor mogs by doing m+ and heroic raids. you just need to upgrade max level heroic items one time with crests you get from doing m+ :D
I have read every comment with interest.I agree 100% with the pve players , this is forced content and not what we pay our subs for . Before any one says you don't have to play it, I have been playing wow retail for over 12 years. I am 100% a pve player. I am also a collector , I love collecting in game , achievements, pets , mounts etc. Plunderstorm was a shock i was expecting the patch to be a wow retail patch , after all thats what i pay my subs each month for.So i am grinding this pvp rubbish in order to collect the items i want for wow retail , once i reach renown 40 im done ..... or am I?What happens when blizzard decide oh that went well thousands and thousands of people are logging in daily playing for a few hours every day (LiMITED TIME EVENT <>SO NO CHOICE but TO PLAY DAILY) It MUST be going great and EXACTLY what the players of wow retail want.i am hoping and begging blizzard please dont force us into a limited time event that we have to play in order to get the rewards you started us collecting many years ago.My tactics currently playing this awful forced plunderstorm game is to aim for an elite and HOPE no one else goes for it , if i hit it first hope i am quick enough to grab the spell and then i run ... and again HOPE the player doesnt bother chasing me.My worst game i got 13 plunder i was dead in less than 5 seconds , my best 980.. thank heavens for the bush ability.Good luck pve'rs just keep logging in and doing and eventually (180 to 220 games) youll get to 40. i am happy the pvp players are enjoying themselves but please spare a thought for the pve players , who really dont want to do this but blizzard have locked what they want behind a pvp game.May your game be plunderfull.
Yup - hate it.This article is just as bad as the PvP trolls themselves
You might have a point if the gold was not picked up totally. you do NOT get double the plunder, its *shared*. Also wtf do I have to do a captcha every time I comment here?
