Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. I was actually excited about the new PVP season until now.
Sweet sassy molassey, they've gone and done it!
Finally! Been calling this for many dragon life spans.This actually allows quick and easy gearing so players can focus on learning the complex and interesting mess that is WoW PvP.
As a non-pvper this is super exciting. I may actually do it more now.
Sounds incredible! :D
Nice, now improve the gear from m+ and the weekly vault.
Pro tip: just do pvp the GW2 way...everyones equal and its an actual test of players skills not gear difference.
Remove Versatility and bring back PvP resi/Pvp power
So if I turn on warmode does my gear jump to its pvp level or am I going to have to play the frustrating mini-game of "how much max hp does this person gain when I attack them" again?
Great
If they did that template crap to pvers they would be upset too. This is great thing for people who just want to jam. You’re buying the piece and that is it. No additional changes needed. I dig the upgrade on the pve side for pvp gear to be used still, completely A-OK with that and accept it . Good stuff Blizzard.
Good change, might take another crack at PvP then.
Awesome! After all this time they finally listened.
I don’t know about this. This sounds like PVP templates with a different name. What’s the point of pvping once you have the gear? What’s the progression there? PVPers don’t care about upgrading to do PVE content.. because they are PVPers. SL had too much time/grind for the PVP upgrading but this almost seems too much the opposite.
All the people crying about gear inequality will quickly realize they are still losing with equalized gear, and now there's no real reward for getting higher ratings apart from gladiator so they have no incentive to push it.
Thank god. I have been saying this all expac. The current system works great and lines up great with pve. Conquest max ilvl inside pvp regardless of rating and not requiring upgrading is a no brainer. Now I wonder what they have in store for honor gear.
