The launch of World of Warcraft Season of Discovery Phase 1 excited players as a new PvP event was unveiled in the Ashenvale zone. This fierce competition pits players against the opposing faction, challenging them to conquer enemy leaders and earn valuable Honor points. However, the Battle of Ashenvale has received mixed reviews, leaving Blizzard Entertainment actively seeking to balance and enhance the event’s appeal for participants.
Initially, there was considerable discontent among the community due to a lack of changes that would enhance the event’s overall experience. Cheesy strategies and exploits were quickly adopted by some players, resulting in an unenjoyable gameplay experience for those seeking legitimate PvP encounters.
In response to this backlash, Blizzard has implemented revisions to address these concerns.
- The Battle for Ashenvale now has minimum and maximum times between battles. It will now never restart sooner than about 2 hours after its last start, and will not take longer than about 3 hours since its last start. If player activity is very low or very high, the percentage of progress will be sped up or slowed down to match those time constraints.
- Battle for Ashenvale quests “Clear the Forest!” and “Repelling Invaders” now award 1000 reputation (was 200).
These changes have a major impact on how players advance their characters for the upcoming World of Warcraft Season of Discovery Phase 2. While some may view it as a positive move, it could be argued that the developers may have been better off prioritizing the upcoming Stranglethorn Vale PvP zone instead of trying to fix the current PvP event.
By devoting their attention to ironing out any imperfections, it will ensure a more polished experience for players.
