warfronts Battle of Azeroth

[TheKaiser 0]

I have a few questions concerning the upcoming expansion:

First I wanted to ask, how everything with legendarys and artefacts is now going to be, are there still gonna be legendarys with the same role as in Legion and what about artefacts, are the HoA armors the new artefacts ?

 

Furthermore I wanted to know wheter or not pvp is mandatory for warfronts and island plundering or if you don't need to be a top pvp player to still achieve some nice things and interesting rewards.

 

With warfronts I also wanted to enquire how the gameplay most likely will look like, they are pve events so you shouldn't need to be a pvp player, right ?

Also one last question, how hard do you think the warfront rewards will be to get ? The transmog does look quite nice and I wanted to ask if it is gonna be something, that is going to be locked and only available to hardcore players

Hi TheKaiser

I think is quite early to give a proper answer to your question. What i can tell so far: Blizzard won't create an Addon for only PvP-Players. It seems that there will be more room for PvP, but you won't have to participate if you don't like...Blizzard has never done such things and i'm pretty shure they won't do it in future. 

If you like, read up the official developer QA and different forums where player are discussing. But really, there can change sooooo much till addon gets released...don't agonize over it :-)

Thanks Allseye,

I am just worried about the ammount of talk surrounding "fighting other players" and making this content, as well as the rewards exclusive for people which pvp skills and more than usual time at their hands.

But I guess you are right and I shouldn't worry too much ^^

As i understood so far you will be able to toogle PvP on and off. Even on PvP-Server we should be able to do this...i'm not sure if we will still call it PvP-Server then *shrug*. I have never ever played addon-betas or read up very much before a release. There have been so many changes during alpha and beta...it really makes no sense to worry about.

Best example are setbonus of new raid (antorus). Look how they changed some setboni from announcment till today...and even today they're balancing (boosting/nerfing) such stuff.

PvP will be a game mode in the new expansion that can be toggled on/off at will. We're going to destroy Artifacts at the end of Legion (BfA goes back to standard weapon drops). Some Artifact traits will become talents or baseline. There will be a single neckpiece called the Heart of Azeroth. The Legion Legendary system will be abandonded altogether. They don't have any Legendaries planned for BfA at this time, but we might see one (like MoP capes) later on.
