World of Warcraft: Legion Overhaul for PVP Gameplay Detailed
World of Warcraft: Legion is getting some big changes to it’s PVP gameplay, as experienced players will now be given “Honor Points”, which will allow you to gain special rewards, including gold, Artifacts, and “Honor Talent”. Battle.net describes this new ability:
“Honor Talents are a special set of Talents that are only active when a player is in a PvP instance (such as a Battleground or Arena) or otherwise engaged in PvP combat, and work in addition to your normal Talents. They are unlocked, one at a time, as your Honor Level increases. So, by Honor Level 10, you’ll have one option available in each row, but as you continue to increase your Honor Level, more and more options will become available for you to change up how you approach PvP gameplay.”
Also in the overhaul are two new arenas, here is there breakdown:
“Located in the fortress of Black Rook Hold, this arena features a large statue in the center, as well as three alcoves to the sides. Access to those alcoves is restricted by a series of gates, which will open and close randomly as the match continues. When the gates are closed, you can use them to hide out of line of sight of your opponents… just be prepared for them to open again moments later!
Also in development is another arena located in the forests of Val’sharah. When you first enter this arena, you’ll be encased in a dome of vines. When the match starts, those vines will retreat, leaving the starting area exposed to the rest of the arena. In the center, you’ll find three statues, which can be used to break line of sight. However, those statues are located very close to each other, so you’ll need to keep moving if you want to play defensively.”
World of Warcraft: Legion is now available in standard and deluxe editions.
