Warlords of Draenor: New World PVP Zone

[Binzyrd]

The upcoming Warlords of Draenor expansion to World of Warcraft will have an all new kind of PVP zone, which will make PVP multiboxing more exciting than ever before!

Ashran, the new world PVP zone, will be in the staging area near Dark Portal on the Draenor continent. The zone includes faction bases and a variety of hot spots. It's a timeless isle of PVP with PVP-oriented objectives, but with less structure than instances. Your multiboxing team has the freedom to come and go anytime, and you can pick and choose which objectives you want to do.

There is no end to the battle between factions in Ashran. The objectives are based on the current status of the battle and constantly evolve. They can change in an instant, depending on events that are happening within the zone. Also, the closer you get to the enemy base, the more difficult the objectives become. Your multiboxing team will be kept busy with tasks such as gathering materials, building siege vehicles, and ultimately attempting to destroy the enemy base. Just be prepared for the twists and turns of battle to change your plans at a moment's notice!

This new PVP zone uses cross-realm technology, which means that realms will be paired up in such a way that there is a balance between factions. There is no cap on the number pf players or faction members allowed in the zone, so bring your whole multiboxing team to join the fray!

Man, if its true that they will manage to make it faction balanced that will be so amazing. Now all I need to do is find a way to get my hands on that uber op pve gear and id be set.

1st: I hope they can faction balance it but nothing can be 50/50 its not going to happen 24/7 it be be better then 5-100 but 50/50 not going to happen ever.

2nd: And thats saying they don't remove /follow. i don't understand why they would

3rd: I would think pvp gear is going to be better then pve gear in the zone? (but its open world) ((then again we don't know how pvp/pve gear is going to work in WOD a lot of changes to gear anyway))

4th: Got my hopes up before on a ""world pvp zone"" WG/Tol/the missing on they said they would have in mop.

i hope they can pull off this epic world pvp zone!!! but i been wrong so many times about stuff. ill see whats its like in beta.

I swear to god if I have to deal with another Timeless Isle where PvE gear blows PvP gear out of the water it'll be the last straw for my multiboxing (at which point I'll go to solo play.) PvE gear should never ever be better than PvP gear in PvP. I don't care what their excuse is.

Couldn't agree with you more..... Full PvP gear should have an advantage over top content PvE gear in PvP. I thought that's what resilience was suppose to do.

right now when you look at gear it say a itemlevel 580 and a pvpitemlevel 600 when the player is in pvpzones/world.

but there is not really any pve gear yet ingame. or that can be used on the pvp servers.

I am not up to date on Ashran, can you get conquest from it?(just answered my own question)
There will be ways to get conquest in Ashran but no way to increase your cap.

Edit: It seems to be a great way to gear up at least and some of the ashran only rewards are out of this world. Some of these would seem to really mess with a mutiboxers ability to play. For the boxers who enjoyed AV, this is a win-win. A massive constant never ending battle.

Death Knight: [Sigil of Necromancy]
Druid: [Book of Crow Form]
Hunter: [Guide: Disengage]
Mage: [Tome of Blink]
Monk: [Scroll of Touch of Death]
Paladin: [The Jailor's Libram] (Jailor's Judgement)
Priest: [Codex of Ascension] (Ascension)
Rogue: [Pickpocketer's Handbook] (Ashran Artifact)
Shaman: [Tablet of Ankh Mastery]
Warlock: [Grimoire of Summoning Secrets]
Warrior: [Manual of Spell Reflection]

Usable only in Ashran

I would like if they would let you progressively gear your character for pvp with this mechanic, but I don't see it happening.

if they did give u nothing then why would anyone go there? i can see if u do the quests or whatever there calling them you get a item of gear at random they said there adding that in pvp more like the LFG/LFR systems
