Battle for Azeroth Q&AAny plans to tweak the Prestige system?
The answer isn't to keep adding dozens of new tiers, mounts and cosmetic rewards but going forwards there are people who have grinded out prestige levels.

Going forward the current thought is: Keep the Legion prestige ranks, and add new prestige ranks in BFA but when you level up you get some kind of repeatable reward similar to Overwatch.

Will there be more updates to Honor Talents in BFA?
Honor Talents originally started resetting with Prestige levels but didn't end up working out. They feel too much like a barrier to entry right now.

They want to move away from a replica of the original talent tree but instead move to a bucket of talents and you pick any three out of the bucket. They do want to keep the trinket customization row as it's been successful.

Will there be any other PvP updates in BFA?
A new battleground will be coming out soon before BFA. New arena maps. On the rewards and mechanics side there are a couple of changes planned. One of the biggest changes for Legion was using Stat templates.

How will the world PvP work? You said that people across all servers will be separated.
When you enable this feature, you will phase into a PvP only zone. While not everyone can phase into a single phase, you'll only be phased with people also who have the feature enabled.

The exception is RP servers which will follow the standard RP servers rules. Toggling World PvP on, on RP servers, you'll still be able to see players on the same servers with the Toggle off.

Comment by DracaanThis looks interesting. I see quite a few possibilities with this lil system.Comment by Fenril7One new BG, what a fracking joke. How many new arenas in the past 4 years compare to having Trashran. No wonder Blizzard knows NOTHING on how to keep PVP fresh. Let me guess gear is going to drop again instead of having a vendor?

What a fracking joke Blizzard and the state of PVP is now days!Comment by FixiThe best PvP gear is had doing PvE - unless that changes, PvP is irrelevant.Comment by blissfire"Going forward the current thought is: Keep the Legion prestige ranks, and add new prestige ranks in BFA but when you level up you get some kind of repeatable reward similar to Overwatch."

Oh, thank Elune.Comment by CodemagusTime to kill some Alliance dogs. For the Horde!Comment by dlgtcuI just hope they make the prestige system account wide. My main is prestige 14 and because of the titles etc only being on one character it makes playing any other characters in pvp essentially a waste of time since they do not contribute to the overall prestige rewards.Comment by Cydra0393Time to kill some Alliance dogs. For the Horde!Comment by CyberiumEnabling PvP talents for PvE... does it mean they could be used in dungeon and raids?Comment by rodalphoSounds good to me, but I hope they allow toggling PvP in any inn, or at the least in the new hub towns of the expansion. That achieves the goal of stopping players from switching out in the world at whim but is much more convenient.Comment by Acezorare talents like the outlaw rogue pvp one Drink Up Me Hearties gonna still feel worthless in world pvp with the server changes coming?Comment by ZyrosanisEnabling PvP talents for PvE... does it mean they could be used in dungeon and raids?Comment by akaggI just hope they make the prestige system account wide.

Also one of the worst received as it made gear totally meaningless, turned every BG into a massive zerg where the individual player means nothing, and utterly removed customization.

If they had managed to balance the game in the process, it would've been fine, but they didn't, and tanks are now able to deal as much or more damage than DPS in arenas, and casters can't even get a cast off.

If they haven't figured out that templates were a terrible idea and terribly implemented this far, and it continues in BFA, that will be it for WoW PvP.Comment by SandkornEnables world PvP with the opposing faction.|nActivates HonorPvP Talents for PvE.Comment by SalvadoreLove this changes for world PVP like I hate it! So now I never will be bothered again, my quest npcs will not be killed and everything is much better! While the players that like this PVP stuff can enjoy that kinda thing... in there own ghost town instants :DComment by NinivehI can't wait to play with a bunch of carebears who schedule guild "PvP nights". I always wanted to play in a big instanced battleground 24/7. /sarcasm offComment by jjanchanjust don't bring templates in BfA!
