I don't know man. Looking at the warrior gear seemed... 'eh

Maybe the higher end shit will be good, but that certainly didn't make me say OMG I CAN'T WAIT!!!

On the other hand, it does look bad ass as shit... I can't wait to get that kick ass armored wolf. Hope it's fast. Maybe it'll be armor that I can apply to my own wolf. wouldn't that kick ass.

Last thing I wonder is... if it's going to kick ass, I'm going to have to swap my talents. As it stands, I'm pure protection. A warrior that's protection just CAN NOT PVP to save their life against any other class except another protection warrior. It just isn't possible. I'll have to go arms or something, but my guild wouldn't be cool with that.

Troubles, troubles. Wonder if you'll still get kill points for being the NPC tank inside of the battle grounds?

A majority of us don't have MC/Onyxia loot so the armor from PVP is looking pretty damn fine, some of us don't have like any UBRS loot either (I got one peice..) so its looking even more beautiful.

I wonder if they are gonna scale the number of positions by server population, or else smaller servers are gonna have either a lot less people in the top tiers or a lot more depending if they do it by % or a number.

Surnames I can understand, but wtf good does having your name over your head do except add more shit on your screen, do you peridocialy forget which guy on the screen is yours? If so, jesus christ you need help.

The gear is designed more to help pvp, so if your doing pve content you will prob be getting better gear for that (from looks of it more resist/stats type gear for long fights w/ aes and such)

The pvp gear looks more geared to raising hp and making specific class type pvp abilites better. So the more you pvp with the gear the more points you get so you can keep your gear and such.


But i can see how not logging into wow for like a week because of rl or some shit and not being able to use gear you spent the last month getting points for until you do more farming of honor points. Doesnt help that they will restrict how many ppl can be a certain rank either.

Because you can still pvp on pve servers? Or the fact that ganking ppl gets old because there is no reward other then griefing. Dont get me wrong, griefing is fun, but after awhile w/ no other reward to show for it i get bored of it.

"Okay, are you ready for some pvp?"
"I'm ready."
"Okay, type /pvp"
"Okay."
"Okay now we can go fight someone!"
"Okay!"

.... zzzz ....

"Okay, i see someone!"
"Okay, let's surprise him. Nuke~!"
"Oh, uh. I can't. He has to /pvp first."
"Oh."
"hehe... well, he probably will soon enough."

No sir, you go attack guards. Maybe like 3-4 of them to spam the opposing side's WorldDefense/LocalDefense with "SOUTHSHORE IS UNDER ATTACK!" Nobody can resist! 45 minutes of "HAMMERFALL IS UNDER ATTACK" is likely to bring a crowd if only to stop the spam.

I'm confused. When you're in enemy territory, they're blue. They can only go red by attacking you.


So you *still* can't get anyone by surprise, even if you're attacking guards because, hey! Attacking guards only makes you KOS, not them. Sad
