WoW PvP – A Look at Wintergrasp
Before Wrath of the Lich King, World PvP was a pretty straightforward side of Warcraft. There were a few objectives in Outland that permitted players to do a pair of straightforward jobs like retaking Haala or slaughtering their opponents and taking the towers or beacons in Zangarmarsh, Hellfire or Terokkar Forest. The objectives were straightforward but no-one actually did them as the reward was minimal and was sometimes zone-wide so everybody got it. There wasn’t any reason to take part if 12 other players did it for you once each hour or two.
But all that changed when WotLK hit and the game started stressing more sophisticated, realtime battles in World PvP with their first real time PvP battle zone in Lake Wintergrasp. The new zone had players facing off in epic battles on the live server (no instancing) and getting rewarded with points that would allow them to buy rare and valuable items such as the new Heirloom items that can be used on any character in the account from level 1 to 80 and beyond.
In addition to the way in which the game now works on live servers, many players can get directly involved to include a slew of different ways in which players can take advantage of weaknesses of their opponents, use PvP to get into PvE content and then get rewarded with everything from Emblems of Heroism to the rare and valuable Season 5 Gear.
In the end, while there are new PvP objectives and World PvP options in Grizzly Hills as well, you are only going to hear about Lake Wintergrasp where Blizzard has put into place more options than ever before to get players involved, ensure that the content remains fresh and relevant and to build up a means by which they can grow their PvP options to compete with other MMOs built entirely on PvP like Warhammer Online.
World PvP is here to stay and as the popularity of Lake Wintergrasp dicates, you can expect a whole slew of new options in future patches and expansions as the game gets more depth added to real world PvP. Expect that your ability level now will have a big effect on how you perform in the future as well, particularly if you would like to start to get the top rewards and accomplishments.
