Mythic is still looking at, debating cross-server scenarios(basically battlegrounds, instanced pvp with objectives or kill goals). The Community at large on forums does not want this, but mythic's lead pvp designer insists its important to have. All of the lead developers have stated that it will probably not make launch. Pros for cross server battlegrounds: Shorter queue times. Larger pool of competition & bragging rights. Possible to win on a weak faction/realm tier(low level scenario, maybe your realm(side) on your server has lower levels than the other side on your server) Cons for cross server battlegrounds: Less community feel, you won't recognize your opponents as often. Bragging rights? there won't be an official warhammer forum to brag on. Players on other servers will effect the war outside of the instance on your server with the scenario win/loss. Which one do you want? Take a stance!! |

I'm against cross server battlegrounds. I felt they really hurt wow, I enjoyed being able to play against people I recognized on a regular basis. I want people who are on that server to know who we/I are/am. I want them to feel fear and hatred. I don't want to join a fast queue to grab some points killing people I'll never see again to blow up some shit I don't care about. Fuck that noise, I really hope the community makes mythic feel compelled to scrap the idea. |

wait? wut?
|
if/when they do implement it it will only be on instanced scenarios not the constant non instance things such as player held keeps, so we would be attacking and defending against people we always see, not vs random people |

Cross server battlegrounds were the straw that broke the camel's back for me when it came to BGs. BGs in WoW were fairly pointless to start with. Sure, if you played 40-60 hours a week of them for 2 months straight, you might get some really awesome gear. But even if you lost a lot, it didn't truly hurt you. There was some small modicum of rivalry going on though at least, even with the shitty communication barrier. But then they went and made them cross server and all point went out the window. Except for grinding honor... but when they changed ranks to straight HP... fuck, you could just as well AFK AV and get shit anyways. And not having anyone really know who you were when you played against them.... or even with them... what's the point of even trying really hard? I mean, I generally did, but it always felt like half of my team wasn't. If it wasn't a premade, no one cared. So yeah, I dunno. I want a game with some cause and EFFECT. WoW BGs left out the effect part. Taking away the rivalries by going cross-server took out a huge chunk of the cause part. So I'd rather stay away from them for sure. |

I agree with you all...Chrommaggus had some intenseeeeee rivalries before x-realm bg's and we would talk shit all day on the forums about it...until blizzard ofcourse wanted to compensate the whiners for faster que times.... blah
 Oh and by the way there won't be offical WAR forums? Really? thats weakkkkkkk

I agree with all of you, but remember even if they do implement x-realm BG in WAR, WAR has meaningful world pvp and WOW did its best to totally eliminate that. At least we would be able to have meaningful rivalries on one type of pvp. What would suck is if they made it so the only way to get pvp gear was to grind the x-realm bgs. However, we already know this isn’t true because from the podcasts they have said capitol city gear is the best gear in the game and you earn it by destroying the enemy capitol cities. Either way the most meaningful pvp will take place on the world map and not an instance... no que times, meaningful rivalries, and lots of blood! |

The conference call interview that I linked before: http://www.warhammeralliance.com/articles/showentry.php?e=32 They have also mentioned it in several other interviews. God I hope they don't do it, or they make it optional. |

Some people have made the arguement, and i can see their point, is that they don't care about community and just wanna rape face as FAST as they can...I would want the same thing but no x-realm BG's

Saw the scenario video...more of the higher tier empire vs chaos scenarios were very open like the damn bombing run...so are we gonna have the use of mounts in these scenarios or not? anyone know? i would assume they would for a map that size...or it would be a 24 v 24 map.... |
