Patch 1.12 "World PvP" sneakpeek by IGN

Post by **sneek** » 13 Jul 2006, 12:55

Outdoor PvP objectives are in Silithus and in the Eastern Plaguelands according to the article on WoW's 1.12 Outdoor PvP.

Silithus boils down to resource gathering and geyser claiming (nothing mentioned about Zerglings or Protoss though).
Eastern Plaguelands boils down to Turf warfare.

There, in the Eastern Plaguelands, are four towers currently.
In the 1.12 patch these will become semi-strongholds that can be controlled by either faction and need to be conquered for them to be turned to your own faction.

Holding your outdoor PvP objective as a faction will grant you a buff that aids you in that zone; for the EPL this is rumored to be additional damage against undead.

so will this buff carry into naxx aswell in wich case i can se guilds trying to hold the towers for eachothers raids so they can fuck up the bosses easier

if not then the buff is rather pointless as theres no mobs in there you cant solo anyway

I just hope they have decent ways of balancing this on servers were the population isn't 50-50.

Well, I am used to being the underdog (Think we were outnumbered 3-1 on our DAoC server). I like a target rich environment

but every now and then it is nice to fight an equal amount of opponents.

Guessing the EPL will be a popular hotzone since it's just one flight away from Ironforge AND Arathi Highlands.

There you go.
A focal point for Alliance to spend their queue time racking up Honor other then trying to take pot shots at semi-afk Horde in Kargath or Hammerfall.

Dont think they will. Was reading some old forum from the time when Tarren Mill was camped by the allys. And blizzard just ignore the problem that on some servers all npcÃ‚Â´s (guards, flymaster, q givers, vendors) where dead from 16.00 to 19.00. They didt even put in more guards.
