[Classic] PVP like retail (ie no follow?)

[Moorea]

I wish a compromise would be to limit follow to party (and not raid, ie 5 max)

not to bash large scale multiboxers here but i think the most negativity was drawn to us when ppl like swifty brought attention to 40 boxers, prepared defending alterac boss for hours and that whole ashran debacle when devs were confronted with boxers was the beginning of the end, so I would agree that limiting multiboxing to 5 characters in some way would've been a good solution to keep pvp complains about boxing under the radar

if the point didn't come across, pls everyone dont go for multibox ganking on the classic beta if follow works...again remember ashran.

to be fair i take IWT over follow at least we can play melee teams easyer and i can still do wpvp like live or though its just raid teams ganking the other side... the same thing boxers did......

[Kruschpakx4]

it's beyond me either but we have to live with the fact that low level ganking and corpse camping by regular groups of people is allowed but doing the same with multiboxing isn't...so better not draw attention to it in the beta in case they overlook that or simply don't see it as a problem

and IWT is nice and all but i really dont want to be in blackrock mountain pvping without follow on the chains with enough lava beneath it that you will most likely have to resurrect twice to get out

I've been out of the boxing game since Cata launched, but I knew they killed /follow in BGs and Arena.

I've been dabbling w/ the idea of getting back in for world pvp in Classic.

Are you guys saying they killed /follow in open world as well when you enter combat as well? So it's dead in BGs, arena, and wpvp?!?!

My understanding is that follow:

-IS working for WPVP;
-is NOT working for BGs;

There are no Arenas currently announced...

/follow not working in BG is going to impact my team choosing. I was hoping to get to do 5x r13 as priest+mages. Currently just waiting out if it changes between the betas to choose.

Can someone confirm this?

This is pretty big, won't really impact me overall, but QOL it will be annoying if follow breaks in wpvp. I don't intend to do any wpvp with a 5man unless I absolutely have to, since I'm just going to be instancing.

Can someone confirm this?

not sure how many threads and how many times in each of those threads this needs to be repeated but YES as of today (and it can change tomorrow)

in classic stress test and beta:

follow works everywhere, all the time, except in BG

(ie including in out of bg pvp like gurubashi etc)


ps: technically it may have changed today and I don't know about it as I don't have beta, which ends in a week anyway, so the next stress test will be a chance to see the final setup, but again I suppose they can change it anytime (and we should lobby for BG to be added too #nochanges)
