Wow Classic - beta stress test report - follow in pvp / iwt work!

[MiRai]

overall vanilla will still have less complains about pvp boxing imo. Its honestly not that good with no resilience gear and harder acess to quality pve/pvp gear you will have a bad time against aq/naxx/r12 geared ppl in later stages. Unless you join a hardcore pvp group solo with each toon you might have a hard time getting r13/14. And even if you have that gear you wont be as invincible as in other expansions.

I was thinking the same thing, in that I would expect multiboxers to be much more of a glass cannon than anything else, at least, until you really had the proper gear, and that is going to take quite awhile to get. Not only that, but you can expect there to be a very high number of Warriors, Rogues, and Mages on those PvP realms, so, in theory, that's only going to add to stifle multiboxer effectiveness.

which would be a complete dick move after you farmed months in vanilla. But as i think of it, that company doesnt care anyway, maybe we should really try to get an answer from devs on that subject before ppl establish their pvp teams.

Well, /follow was blocked from use in battlegrounds in patch 5.2, so they certainly are willing to make a change like that in the middle of a timeline, rather than only at the beginning or end.

That's what I originally assumed but people were saying it was an independent change and had nothing to do with "warmode." I haven't played in several expansions so I have no idea.

Follow existed in BG's during vanilla so the correct course of action if they're going to retain their purist ideology would be to allow it. I assumed they wouldn't previously, but if they're willing to revert one change there's a chance at least. We'll have to wait and see.

The current assumption is that those flags were removed along with the War Mode related API, and so it could've been an oversight in the process. As always, for everyone, I will continue to link my follow flowchart to show that the lack of /follow in PvP combat, in Retail, is not tied to War Mode.

With that said, I will try to contact Blizzard directly to see if they can give me a clear answer as to what their plans are in this area, since opening a discussion on their general forum is just going to be a shit show and difficult to get a proper answer.
