Hello!
I have some requests for the Blackrock realm:
Arena:
- Increased Arena Point gain would be good because people can't play PVE on Blackrock.
If you can only play and spend time for PVP, better to do it in better gear, on other realms you can go PVE, etc. while gearing PVP.
Gearing now takes 4-5 months (1 month = 1 piece), because normal arena point rate, it's too slow for a (fun) PVP server.
People more likely to join arena in better gear (vs mostly fully geared enemies).
Blackrock population decrease significantly otherwise (most players only testing pve gear for other realms, not playing!).
Solution:
Create daily quests, to give arena points at completion (50 arena points for 10 win), for every arena types (2s, 3s, SoloQ).
Just add arena points to the existing daily quests as a reward too.
You could also create a quest to turn in honor for arena points (like 60000 honor give 20 arena points).
Or reward playing a lot of matches, with a quest that gives 200 arena points for 1000 SoloQ matches for example.
Balance:
With crossrealm, battlegrounds would be still balanced (if equal Blackrock players are on both sides, maybe modify priority).
If Lordaeron and Icecrown would be able to turn on and off crossrealm, it could be balanced (with good queue priorities).
Or minimum gear automatically turn it on for them, under it they would unable to queue crossrealm arena and battleground.
- Battleground deserter should not block Solo Queue and Arena join.
- Separate Solo Queue join from under and over 1600 rating (this way more experienced players meet over 1600).
Battlegrounds:
- Less priority to RBG join AV or Isle of Conquest from Blackrock, it's really hard to get honor with 40 minute battlegrounds.
Or even remove Alterac and Isle from RBG, if someone wants honorable kills, they can queue specific battleground for it.
Transmog:
- Scroll of Deception should become account bound. Increase drop rate (especially from SoloQ).
- Transmog rating requirements should be lowered, because it's too hard and rare to reach over 2050, for average players.
Setting up too high requirements just make gameplay worse for them. The maximum rating requirement should be 2050.
It's hard to raise much rating with the current (low) population of the server (more players = easier to gain rating imo).
- Bring back Arena Case system (trading is entertaining = more players), or make transmog by item id available.
Because we can't get transmog items like other realms currently (transmog system is not complete now).
Need more items as transmog item at npc, "Hailstorm" for example.
Other:
- Create a Spirit Healer in the middle of Circle of Wills, some players appear as ghosts without corpses and can't resurrect.
- A Blackrock Discord server (like Syturio's one) would be good if maintained, continued by the staff (good for contact with players).
- Bring back old malls (like Shattrath, Stormwind, my idea is Telredor), malls too crowded at peak hours, or if Icecrown is offline.
- Create Sandbox Tigers (npc=33357) for fun at VIP Island, like a playground.
IN SHORT: Make endgame gearing faster with quests, transmog system complete/easier, to draw/motivate more players to play, but to keep it balanced with other realms (crossrealm), set proper queue priorities (or options, conditions) for battlegrounds and arenas. Easier and better gameplay = more players.
Thank you. :)
