 Guys, what is up everybody S-Fan here big news today big news on the PvP front for classic Wow We've talked about six phases of content release. We've talked about, you know, what we wanted for PvP what we thought would most likely happen In retail vanilla Wow in retail vanilla Wow PvP was put in throughout the course of several patches where You had war song and Radley basin and the PvP system wasn't put in right away and stuff was basically spread out, right? PvP gear was updated later on I had thought that realistically what Blizzard might end up doing is just putting it all in at once In one phase or in between phases But in a perfect world in a perfect world, they would actually go and they would Spread this all out. All right, so the news that we got today about 30 minutes ago was that Blizzard is planning on going through and actually progressively implementing PvP content into the game throughout the course of The lifespan of classic right the lifespan of the server on classic, which is absolutely huge. That's that's unbelievable I'm I'm so incredibly excited about this because it's going to continue to generate hype It's gonna continue to generate excitement throughout the course of the server. Oh man a rat the basin is coming out Oh, man, there's no battlegrounds at the beginning. We're putting in war song. We're putting in We're we're putting an AV I Think for you know what let's go ahead and read the post. Let's go ahead and read the post This is from borneck 38 minutes ago, excuse me Since we broke down the six phase of content that will be rolling out for classic We've heard the increase in requests for PvP details So we wanted to get you up to speed on our plans there as of the case in World of Warcraft originally launched in 2004 There won't be a formal PvP system in WoW classic at the outset You'll still be able to PvP of course and there will be no dishonorable kills So you'll be free to repeatedly hunt down every player in MPC and say strangle the unveil to your heart's content good That'll change one's face two rolls around we add the honor system which will introduce honorable kills dishonorable kills and PvP rank rewards Phase two is a Excuse me. My voice is still a little bit gone from PAX East Phase two is is gonna be with dire mall and all that So once dire mall rolls out We will introduce honorable kills thus honorable kills and PvP rank awards the items you earn from PvP rank rewards will be the Versions from patch 1.12 the items you earn from you Hmm Okay, keep in mind though just as it did originally it will require substantial time events to rank up through the honor system For those interested in the rank rewards earning epic hero will acquire consistent dedication over a long period of time as a top Contributor on your realm. We don't expect to see many people running around with these items early on But we're certain Hillsborough will still suit fair share of action So, okay, I have some thoughts on this we're gonna talk about this in a second in the third phase We'll introduce the first battlegrounds. I'll track Valley Phase three this is gonna be with BWL I'll track Valley and Wars on Gulch alongside with it alongside it with their associated vendors One thing to note is that there were a couple of updates to these vendors over the course of the original patch releases So some items won't be available right away Okay, this this leads me to believe something else. I'm gonna I'm gonna talk about that too And I've talked about it before but we'll get back to it For example spell penetration trinkets available from Wars on Gulch vendor weren't introduced until patch 1.9 So we're currently thinking that we'll add these in phase 5 The Arathi Basin battleground will follow in phase 4 along with its specific vendor It'll be interesting to see how many people stay behind to guard the flag. Yeah, of course a lot of AFK is unbelievable Finally in phase 6 while the world PVP objectives and silvus and Eastern Playlands, which will come out at the same time as next It's talking about like the tower the tower event thing Here's what PVP content looks like mapped out to the phases. We've recently posted about What we can look back at that in a second if we want to okay So phase one while classic launch no PVP right or there's gonna be PVP, but there's no like system, right? This is how it was in retail vanilla. Wow Pretty much people are gonna go they're gonna level they're gonna kill each other They want to kill each other. They're not gonna kill each other. They know if they don't want to kill each other That's about it phase 2 honor system dishonorable kills PVP rank awards. So Here's my concern right here's my concern When they say that the PVP rank rewards will be the version from patch 1.12 The armor the gear that you got in PVP in Vanilla Wow Was changed later on it was changed it was changed later on in the game I do think that they need to put the original PVP rank rewards in and I think that they probably need to update those rewards in patch 1.9 Right, that's that's one side of progressive itemization right is when items update and how they update them the other side of progressive itemization is When items are put into the game, right? You know there's different parts to it They don't want to put items into the game too early. That's what we're seeing here whenever they talk about One thing to notice there were a couple updates of vendors over the course the original patch release some items won't be available right away That's what they're talking about there. So they're not gonna put in it looks like you know as a general rule They're looking at not putting in items before they were supposed to be released, but the concern here is This I do think that the gear was updated a little bit too late in Retail Vanilla A lot of people feel that way when you look back at the original classic content plan if if they were to talk about when the gear updates it probably would fall into it would I would fall into phase 6 Right in Retail Vanilla I do think I really do think this they should put the original PVP rank rewards in and then they should update it later on probably in phase 5 That's that's probably which they what they should do the reason being is Let me see them pull this up real quick Okay, we're going to use what we're gonna do is we're gonna look at these blue sets for comparison The reason why I want to look at the blue sets for comparison is because there's actually two separate sets in the game The epic gear is just just straight up updated, right? Whenever the gear gets updated the original blue set is gone That is this one and then I believe it's this one Yes, this one the original blue set is gone and then you can't buy it anymore You can still wear it, but but you have to buy the other set whenever the gear gets updated It has a higher item level and item level isn't really a thing right It's not really a metric that people use it is a thing sorry, but it's not a metric that people use in Vanilla a lot of really judge gear on Item level is a variable that's plugged into a formula. I'm gonna make a separate video on that all together, but Essentially what happens here is you can see for paladins strength stamina in a lot of plus spell damage, right? A lot of plus spell damage some crit All that right, and this is the blue set the epic set is much better than this But the original set is more, you know strength stamina in agility strength stamina in crit The suit is just a little bit different has a little bit less itemization points, you know 657 armor to 706 armor on the chest piece for example With the epic set the epic set is very similar to this as well Where it where it's a lot more like physical damage based and then whenever they update the epic palette and set You've got more spell power on it and just more stats in general so here's the issue the issue that I have with This happening right items you earn from future rank roars will be the versions from 1.12 is that You're Essentially changing the meta and I've always said this The the vanilla meta is different the private server meta is different the wild classic meta It's it's gonna be different, but but you're changing the meta in a way that if you That that ranking is going to be something that is It's it's going to be something that's going to be used to at the highest level Push your rating whereas in retail vanilla wow ranking gear and rating gear were Basically two alternative ways to leveling up your character based on how you want to play that that's essentially what was going on there I think that's fine in the p in on private servers. It actually works like that, too That's how people do it on private servers Now the difference here is is that there's No honor system until phase two, right? But if people are gen one rankers now, it's gonna be very hard without avian worse on Gulch put into the game until this point Which is I mean it's gonna be very interesting actually playing without battle rounds for that long But this is what it was like and this is what it was like in retail vanilla and I think I think it'll be interesting Yeah, that plays out So yeah, I mean if if you're ranking gen one, you know bracket one all that stuff It's gonna take you about three months to get the gear. So let's say phase two comes out about three months after phase one after launch well Phase three which is going to be the BWL patch, right? That'll probably come out a few months later There's going to be people there is going to be people who are there are going to be bill Excuse me who are grand marshal who are high warlord who have all the ranking gear who have the updated weapons all that stuff Technically before blackwing layer even comes out. I think this is something that's a big concern I mean the original weapons. I think they did about 300 damage the two-handed weapons and then they get updated to do Like 353 or something is is like the two-handed sword if I remember correctly, I might be a little bit off on that, but um Yeah, I do think that's a concern that they're putting in the the the newest versions the most updated version of the ppp rewards in this early as opposed to updating them in In patch in phase five Yeah, phase five is when you would do it one of you added in tier zero point five and all this stuff I think that would be the most the smartest thing that they could do But I mean other than that. This is still really good news. I'm I'm I'm very very excited about this I I know some of the rankers are probably not gonna like this as much a lot of people who've been ranking like You know they start out they they start on a fresh they start ranking while leveling they hit 60 and they just grind battlegrounds immediately But that's just something that we have to know is that the meta of private servers the meta of vanilla wow the meta of wild classic They're all going to be a little bit different But what they want to do with wild classic is they want to make it match Retail vanilla as much as possible so on top of that guys one thing I want to say real quick is I've been doing a lot, you know outside of the last stuff.
