Been collecting decor items given by the weekly Arcanostorage Sphere from the PTR - these are decor I've gotten from it so far. Please share if you've gotten different ones! #WowHousing

Most important fixes to grow PVP for season 2.

Leave MMR decently high so rewards are realistically attainable for most players.

Healer balance 1 too strong healer spec means the rest stop qing long q times.

Add a random mount drop like timewalking to all pvp content.

@Blizzard_Ent @BlizzardCS You guys saved PVP in TWW when you listened to the playerbase about the season 3 gladiator mount. I am asking you to consider making the VENOMOUS GLADIATOR tabard VENOMOUS. We havent had good green tabards in ages, why would it NOT match the gladiator mount, WHY would VENOMOUS GLADIATOR be white/gold?

If Blizzard abandoned supporting Arena due to it lacking players, why did they abandoned it 5 years ago, when it was at peak player count?

It's also disingenuous as the active player count in Solo Shuffle this season is - 132,848. (updated 30 mins ago per Drustvar API data)

This week I uploaded a hour long video called "PvP Matters" and it talks about all of the pain points of PvP and what I think can be improved to get more players into the scene. It's just a response to the recent interview that said something along the lines of 'Blizzard needs more players to justify putting resources into PvP', which is kind of alarming to me... 

Video Link: https://t.co/us2fZvLDt0

Here are some of the things I talk about that I feel could benefit WoW PvP: 

Low Maintenance/Communication - Pretty straightforward. PvPers get 1 new arena every few expansions and new vendors every season. That is pretty much it. As far as innovation goes, there isn't much left that can be done. BG Blitz/Shuffle have been great for the game. For communication, it's obvious there isn't any. A simple Q&A between seasons would go a long way. Acknowledging glaring bugs (MC bug) and saying they are being worked on would make it feel less like PvPers are screaming into the void. 

Backwards Logic - Getting more players to play BEFORE committing resources to it makes no sense. RBGs have had the same reward for 14 years, they don't even get a seasonal title. Why would anyone queue RBGs if they already have the title? Same with 2s. It has no rewards, literally no incentive to queue the bracket, just for the love of the game. **There were 1 million shuffles played in the last 3 days, how does that alone not justify more resources being added to PvP??** 

MMR is flawed - in its current design, players are rewarded for waiting until the last 2 weeks of the season to queue and get rewards. This shouldn't be the case, reward players who play the entire season. It has also been CAPPED at the start of multiple seasons, making it awful to push for both high rated and low rated players. 

Seasonal Battle Pass - Seasonal battle pass, similar to trading post. Include buffs like extra honor/conquest gains for alts. Also, let us transfer conquest instead of the RNG boxes. And yes, at the end of the battle pass a token to buy an old elite set. Make it once a season per account of course. I don't care what others say, people can literally buy Swift Zulian Tiger on the BMAH. I raided tier 3 and people can buy it off BMAH/craft it now, it doesn't make me mad. IT'S FINE. There can also be 'quests' at the end of each milestone that encourage players to PvP in other brackets they might not play (Win 2 Rated Battlegrounds or 5 BG Blitz). 

PvP Rewards - Just give a glad mount recolor to every bracket. Some people only queue specific brackets and that's okay. Encourage people to push 2s/RBGs with these rewards. 3s is no longer the main bracket for most people now and that's okay.

Separate PvP Realms - Down the road, I really don't see PvP being part of the main WoW game. I see it has a sub-game, similar to Plunderstorm. Separate realms, like tournament realms, that allow players to easily buy/swap gear and instantly queue. Introduce a PvP area with mini arenas that people can jump into and queue/duel. Maybe introduce an area to practice during queues. 

Changes are too slow - obviously a major pain point for big companies, but still impacts players. Easy example is the current MC bug. MC has been bugged for multiple expansions in different ways (D/C, lag, etc). Right now, you will disconnect an Evoker if you MC them after they Hover. It should, at the minimum, be disabled and replaced with something different for Priests (like Void Shift). These things will heavily discourage players from queueing and major bugs like this at the start of seasons/expansions just make people not want to queue more. 

Flex queue - add to 2s/3s brackets. Let me hit queue and find a 2s DPS partner for me when I have no partners around to play. The goal of PvP should be to play the game as quickly as possible. I wouldn’t be opposed to blizzard removing solo shuffle and blitz, and adding flex queue to 2s/3s/rbgs. Rbgs and rated bgs would get blitz format/rules for maps.   

Healer Balance - want shorter queues? Make healers fun and viable. Buff the 2 weakest healers every few weeks to encourage players to not just play the meta. 

AWC Prize Pool - I would love it if players could contribute to the prize pool. I would love to have a tabard with my favorite team's crest on it and represent them in-game. 

PvP Exposure - Expose more players to PvP by having PvP players on the Warcraft channel for a few shuffles/queue sessions! Could be community-voted and/or AWC competitors! Similar to twitch front page, do a Warcraft PvP Front Page 

There's a few other things I talk about, but this is generally what the video goes over.  I know everyone won't agree with some things said in it, but that's okay! I just want more players exposed to PvP and for it to continue. The best thing Blizzard has going for them is that there's no other game like it, so commit to putting resources into it!

The 2 new House Exteriors coming in Patch 12.1 are:

• Autumnal Westfall Barn Facade
• Springtime Westfall Barn Facade

They can be purchased from the General Contractor in your neighbourhood for 200 Community Coupons each.

They're available in both neighbourhoods, but the models are currently encrypted, so we can't preview what they look like just yet.

PTR pvp change for next season

We would like to speed up gearing for players who are participating late in the PvP season, so we are increasing Conquest gains from Spoils of War.

Spoils of War now grants 50% increased Conquest gain (was 30%).

Found a #WorldofWarcraft 12 month sub code cleaning out some stuff. I’ll randomly pick someone in 24-48 hours who likes/retweets this (will DM it so have DMs open).

BTW, how is Midnight?

[Rat with a knife🐀 @Herotherogue]

Remember when I was telling yall the Guardian Druid on my team was just giving up bases to the VDH on enemy team? Got the receipts sent to me that they are indeed wintrading and Skinnyfiend is paying for VDH wins. Remember when I told you all the community always find out?

[Tsuki @tsukipuu]

@AzerothPulse @Thelmaracas @Warcraft I have yet to test if my own teammates cc me while I’m in MC if that will fix it because that would be the best solution. Logging doesn’t do anything for me at least in 3v3

[Tsuki @tsukipuu]

@AzerothPulse @Thelmaracas @Warcraft It happens to me 90% of the time priests try to MC me, and usually I don’t have to be hovering for it to happen. The only thing that will fix it is if by some miracle the priests teammates cc me while the bug is happening, it will fix it.

[Thelm0 @Thelmaracas]

so @Warcraft when are you going to fix this bug or take action against these bug exploiters who are ruining the arena/shuffle experience? Mind Control is a nightmare – two disconnects and spells that no longer work in the same lobby. Its been months and nothing change. Awfull.

[Tsuki @tsukipuu]

@Technically_PvP I’ve never dodged in my life lol I’m actually excited about this change it makes blitz unplayable. I’m hoping that it’s long enough to deter people from doing it still

Better late than never. I'm happy to see Blizzard finally starting to take action against wintraders and people who cheat. I really hope this is going to continue going forward.
