Do you know the future of Battlegrounds? According to Blizzard today, we can see many questions and answers for the future of Battlegrounds. No more words, come to the Q&A now!
Assuming there will be achievements associated with performing specific tasks on the Isle of Conquest, will there be any change to the "Battlemaster" meta-achievement?
Cory Stockton: Yes, we have new achievements for the Isle of Conquest but we are not sure what we are going to do with Battlemaster yet. A lot of people already have this achievement so we can't just go and change it. We will either make a new one specifically including Isle of Conquest, or just not have it be part of a meta-achievement at all.
Community Team: Just to touch upon one last topic pertaining to World of Warcraft PvP in general, many avid Battleground players would love to see some sort of skill-based ladder system for measuring talent and providing optimal rewards.
What are our plans for the future of the Battleground system beyond 3.2, and where do you see non-Arena PvP game play fitting in the World of Warcraft, whether it be through the leveling process or at the endgame?
Cory Stockton: We plan to deliver more Battlegrounds to the players as often as we can. We see Battlegrounds as a very large and important part of the World of Warcraft PvP game and we would like to expand the system as much as we can. I do have a little tidbit that I can share with you guys today, though. We are planning to implement rated Battlegrounds in a future patch. We will be giving more details on this system at BlizzCon.
How important will producing and operating siege vehicles be to reaching victory?
Cory Stockton: Siege vehicles will be important since they are your primary means of destroying your opponent's keep walls and gaining access to the general. However, players can also parachute off of the Gunships generated by capturing the hangar. Once players land inside their enemy's courtyard, they can use the Saronite Bombs to destroy the walls from the inside. Saronite Bombs will also generate at the Siege Workshop once it is captured.
What kind of vehicles will this workshop offer the faction that controls it?
