It’s just been found out that there were some changes to Lake Wintergrasp in this latest build.
- The losing team of Wintergrasp will now be rewarded as well as the winning side: Wintergrasp Defeat – “Grants the losing team 500 honor and 50 arena points for participating in Wintergrasp.” (Approx a third of what the winning team gets.)
- The final reward honor for winning or losing Wintergrasp will now be increased by your rank earned during the gameplay. (Recruit, Corporal, etc.)
- A zone check has been added to count Horde and Alliance players in the area. The side that is outnumbered gains the Tenacity buff: “Being outnumbered has increased your tenacity, increasing your health by 12.5% and your damage by 5%.” (probably a Northrend wide buff).
This right here is awesome. The zone wide check is great because that will somewhat keep things balanced during the battle. It won’t be perfect but it’ll help. You’ll be getting rewarded better than the other players by ncreasing your rank which only happens when you participate so that will create more incentive to actually fight rather than just hang out in the zone during a fight.
Hopefully Blizzard will add an idle debuff like they have now for the battlegrounds where if you’re not fighting every few minutes you won’t get the rewards. Finally, it’s another great addition where the final reward is honor AND arena points that can be used right that moment. Maybe now newer players will be able to compete in the high end arena.
