Blizzard Looking to Hugely Expand PVP in Mists of Panderia

[News Portal]

The upcoming WoW expansion Mists of Panderia is set to introduce two new Battlegrounds, each with completely new gameplay types, as well as a whole new Arena. The expansion will also be adjusting the strength and respawn rate of NPC guards on PVP servers, to allow for more mass raids by players of opposing cities. You can read the full, and lengthy, interview with Game Director Tom Chilton, on Battle.net.

i would be hesitant to call 2 new battlegrounds and 1 more arena as 'hugely expanding pvp'.

[>XaartaX<]

It is hugely expanding given the current rate they add new BGs with new (to WoW at least) mechanics

Sounds as though there might be one or two TF2 Payload fans in the BG design team .

Ugh! easy mode for dumbarses.. JOY!
Heres an idea.. you want to pvp.. wear pvp gear.
Want to raid SW or Org?
That means 40 man raid with every player having 4.5k resil or better.
You always have the option to take 2x40man raids if your players are so **** that you cant do it with 1.

^I dunno, those mass raids are the times I remember most. It's what world PvP should be about IMHO. But anyway...it's good news for those WOW players, they'll all need something to do once the 30 minute fad of being a panda has worn off.
