Tides of Vengeance: New PvP Updates
WoW's latest update, 8.1.5, added a bunch of stuff for the PvP enthusiasts:
- visual updates for Arathi Basin and Warsong Gulch
- a new AI Brawl
- Comp Stomp
- Wintergrasp has been added to Epic Battlegrounds
Every week starting on March 19, there will be a new PvP Brawl available in the game that will offer a variety of modes, rules, and scenic changes to the usual Battleground gameplay. Players can acces them with the Group Finder tool (hotkey “I”) in the Player vs. Player tab.
Comp Stomp
[March 19—26]
Resource RaceJump into Arathi Basin for a head-to-head for battle against AI opponents in this classic battle.
Deep Six
[April 2—9]
Resource RaceDeep Six pits teams of six players against each other in three iconic Battlegrounds: Warsong Gulch, Silvershard Mines, and Temple of Kotmogu. Each Battleground offers a little variation on the traditional format, such as flags that are a bit closer in Warsong Gulch, less carts to keep track of in Silvershard Mines, and only two orbs within the Temple of Kotmogu.
Frozen Arathi Basin
[April 16—23]
Resource RacePut away your bathing suit, pull out your parka, and enter a winter wonderland as the Arathi Basin you know and love gets a fresh coat of ice and snow. You'll be racing your way between the farm, stables, mine, lumberyard, and blacksmith through piles of snow and over a - mostly - frozen lake. One more thing: the weather forecast calls for a bit of fog of war. We hope you're prepared for the weather.
Gravity Lapse
[April 30—May 7]
Resource RaceGravity getting you down? Step into the Eye of the Storm and be prepared for a whole new en-lighten-ing experience. Every minute, players on the battlefield will find themselves launched into the air, only to gently fall toward the ground again in a perpetual aerial ballet as they try to accrue enough resources to take the win home for their team.
Warsong Scramble
[May 14—21]
Capture the FlagDo you have a flag? Warsong Gulch has always been the scene of an epic capture-the-flag battle, but what happens when you can capture your enemy’s flag without your own at base? Or if there are multiple flags at each base? Find out when you step into this PvP Brawl! We’ve also added a few more power-ups to the field of battle to stir things up a bit. To win, your team will need to be the first to capture 10 flags.
Cooking Impossible
[May 28—June 4]
Resource RaceNomi is hosting a Pandaren Chili Cookoff in the Valley of the Four Winds between the Alliance and the Horde! The first to bring Nomi all of the required ingredients wins.
Deepwind Dunk
[June 11—18]
Resource RaceCan you even dunk? If you want to win this brawl, you’re going to need to work on your skills because Dunkball has come to Pandaria. You’ll race to claim balls from the map’s center, or northern, or southern mines, take them to your enemy’s base, and then go for a magnificent long range shot or go all in for the dunk.
Tarren Mill vs. Southshore
[June 25—July 2]
WarfareOriginally introduced as a part of the World of Warcraft 10-Year Anniversary event, this Brawl harkens back to the early days of WoW PvP, with an epic battle between the two towns of Tarren Mill and Southshore. In this game of war, you’ll need to work as a team and deplete your foes’ resources to claim victory.
Packed House
[July 9—16]
WarfareWe’ve put more PvP in your PvP! In Packed House, there’s nowhere to hide as you face not 2, not 3, not 5, but 15 adversaries in this 15 vs. 15 Arena battle.
