PvP with the Blues - December 8

  • Kaivax By Kaivax

Blue Posts are official communications from Blizzard Entertainment that provide updates, developer insights, and gameplay changes for World of Warcraft.

This post was originally published on the Battle.net forums by Kaivax from the Community Manager team.

On Monday, December 8, please join members of the World of Warcraft development team for some Midnight Beta PvP.

We’re playtesting Training Grounds, which is a new PvP gamemode aimed at helping introduce PvP to new players. This mode pairs players against combat bots, with the goal of allowing players an easier on ramp into learning both PvP combat and the battleground maps that it supports.

We’ll get underway at 3:00 p.m. PST (6:00 p.m. EST).

To playtest this with us, log onto the endgame Realm “Xal’atath’s Endgame”, where you’ll find max-level character templates and access to various vendors. To queue up, open the Group Finder (default hotkey: i), click on the Player vs. Player tab at the bottom, select Training Grounds and click Join Battle.

The two maps currently available are Arathi Basin and Battle for Gilneas.

Before we get things rolling, we recommend taking some time to get your character setup properly for PvP combat. Please check out the various gear and profession vendors in Orgrimmar and Stormwind to use the latest trinkets, PvP gear, and class sets in Midnight.

We look forward to playtesting with you and reading your feedback afterward!
