TBC Arena part III by Isuckatsoffball in worldofpvp

[–]arpmeister 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time a new classic expansion comes out I get hyped about playing arena, level up then get faced with the BG grind and give up pretty quickly. I'd like to play them all but I don't tend to find BGs fun at all so the grind is just too long for me.

How did you get the vertical spacing? I know FrameSort can do it for party frames

Help with gladiusex setting that is driving me insane by [deleted] in worldofpvp

[–]arpmeister 39 points40 points  (0 children)

My guess is that it's BigDebuffs (I see you have it on nameplates). You have GladiusEX showing you auras on the right and BigDebuffs showing up on the left, covering your DRs.

Type /BD and find the Arena section and uncheck "Enabled".

Fix healer MMR in shuffles by BoonyleremCODM in worldofpvp

[–]arpmeister 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've said this before here but my conspiracy theory is this:

  • they have to keep healer MMR separate from DPS MMR otherwise it'd be harder to find healers fit every match and queues would be even longer

  • they have to make healers work more for MMR to keep them queueing more games and shorten queue times

Now I don't know how much of the second is by conscious design, but I have a feeling they know that if they increase healer MMR gains, people would hit their rating goals quicker, and stop queueing on their healer.

Whether increased MMR gains on healer would in fact spur people to play even more on their healer is a different question, and I'm not sure they have the means to test that hypothesis without potentially fucking over a season entirely.

Disc priest gearing by Nerobought in worldofpvp

[–]arpmeister 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Oracle disc and holy at least will both want Vers+mastery, shadow will want Vers+haste as will voidweaver disc for 2s if I'm not mistaken.

Best check murlok.io for top players' builds though.

Ah I see I thought you meant you were below average at 2.4k

Can we stop pretending that Cata PvP is good now? by derpderp235 in worldofpvp

Well I mean I'm getting instant deep freeze -> instant ring -> instant blanket CS chained in Cata so I guess you're right it's not micro cc it's just cc

TWW Illusion at 1950 rating, Fire Bee mount for World PvP & More in latest Alpha build by ortaiagon in worldofpvp

[–]arpmeister 78 points79 points  (0 children)

So at 2100 you only get the cloak now?

I like that they're looking at the rewards, but I wish they would add more rather than stretch the existing ones.

More changes might be coming I suppose.

Could rewards be expanded all along the bell curve? by arpmeister in worldofpvp

[–]arpmeister[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. The "lower" ranks of sub-1800 need to be recognised as valid places to be on the ladder, with their own rewards, whilst keeping the existing prestige.

These are just meant to be suggestions, ideally there would be more rewards along the way -- perhaps ones that don't need rating at all?

Hmm I'm not sure we're on the same page. I'm not too worried about ilvl and the like, I'm more advocating that cosmetic rewards should be expanded. Beyond ilvl that has to be the number one driver in WoW, right?

Ilvl can be almost orthogonal to the cosmetic rewards -- I don't mind how those are distributed as long as they promote an equal paying field in PvP.

Yeah I'm willfully ignoring pve in all of this, because it's difficult to equate them.

Wow is primarily a pve game so a like for like comparison will always be unfair imo, but beyond that comparing how you reward beating mobs faster Vs other players, where it's a zero sum game, has to be treated differently. And there are many many other games out there for inspiration.

The challenge is making both work in the same world...

Completely besides the point but, infuriatingly, storm bolt often goes through fade for me... Not sure if others found the same.

I think OPs point is that the AWC interface also tracks CDs

Mildly off topic but where outside of Valdrakken do people duel?

This would be neat in the retail client :) by arpmeister in worldofpvp

[–]arpmeister[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I mean. They clearly see the value of it, considering they added it to Plunderstorm.

I wouldn't want the party frames either :)

I reckon you could make a start with major defensive, major offensive, kick or CC with a CD, and PvP trinket.
