Improve worldpvp and idea on transmog

[Regozai]

Hyjal wasen't working and basically any sort of custom area will not work, simply becouse when people look for World PvP it needs to be that traveling and camping quest mobs or camping quest objective you need to loot for your daily quest.

Say you add 2-3 NPC's with dailys to collect say 10x Ogre bones from Ogres in Feralas or Kill 20 Scourge in Eastern Plaguelands.. Capture 1 Tower in Terokkar forest

Rewards could be 1-2 badges of justice / quest or some bag that has super low chance to include 1-3 badges / cool pets and/or mounts with 100% chance to include 2-5 fragments of justice

Simple quests like these will make people funnel into 1 area or world zone and makes world pvp happen, and the fact there is no straight teleport to Eastern Plaguelands for example makes it non campable in the teleport zone, ofc there is some premade camping in Quest npc's for example but that is how its supposed to be, thats how it worked back in the day in retail..

And people have been asking for a long time someother to farm than badges or honor, so add 0.1% chance to get mount/pet or anything cool from somesort of Bag you get by doing daily quests..

Or add Transmog tokens from these dailys, 5 fragments of transmogrification = 1 token of transmogrification = 1 item transmog, and add these dailys with the transmog service you were planning to add, and dont add donation service for transmog, people who will donate for it will QQ later for having nothing to do in SF, keep it daily only becouse its only bonus to looks and doesent give bonuses to your character.

Sounds good.

Transmogrification needs to be unique Henhouse doesn't wants to see the whole server wearing it. It's not unique as an daily reward, everyone will get it over some time.

If it's from donation or an high amount of vote points then you actually do something for the server in return. To be honest it should be from donation or maybe even HK's (since this server is more likely battleground oriented) to keep it unique.

If you see everyone wearing transmogged gear then it would be annoying and not unique.

In my opinion.

I dont like the donation option..
it will be like season 4 gear everyone has it.. than rather go for the daily reward atleast people have to do something for it than and not just time bankcode GG

And what you do when u want to change the trasmog? paying everytime just to change..? thats retarded :S

I would do it as Arena reward for example 1800 for gear 2000 for weapon or something like that.
Or maybe only 3v3 rating so we increase the 3v3 ques aswell.

OR as EVENT reward = not many people will have it cause there is only 1-3 winner (depends on event) / event :)

You prolly don't have the possibility to donate and if it's a high donation price then it will be just as unique as the Swift Dawnsaber that was $20 bucks back in the days (I have seen maybe 10 different people with this mount, maybe even less then 10). And if you wanna change your sets then yes pay again of course it helps the server out.
I'm not just thinking about myself, I think about the server in general.

This server is not arena-orientated like Arena-Tournament. So I think the idea for a rating requirement would not fit this server. Especially not from 3 vs 3 queus this will only increase the amount of wintraders. Will be better to award it from battlegrounds then or High Warlord as requirement.

OR as EVENT reward = not many people will have it cause there is only 1-3 winner (depends on event) / event :)

I don't think they plan to do this very often and people will constantly qq about events then.

Ofc I can donate, but I definetly wont donate 20 bucks just to change my style, than I prefer outplaying people with the real t3 :)

Just because you are ??bad?? in arena (never seen you playing) and you already got the High Warlord title? :)
And than people will start farming HK's on a lost graveyard with multiple accounts instead of wintrading.

Server without event are getting boring fast, since u can get the gear / rating fast and than u have nothing to "reach" anymore = boring.

Queing BG's all day, with people that dont understand how the bg work isnt fun enough.


And if you wanna bring the server forward you need to offer something that people will like the server and tell to friends to join aswell and not like blizzard just focused on MONEY.

Unhappy people = Pay once
Happy people = Pay often.
It's like the business world in RL :)

[Henhouse]

We already have plans to be removing Hyjal and implementing a new world PvP area with dailies and such.

Transmog will most likely be a small (probably somewhere around $8) fee to have access to use it. Others, use vote points to use it. It's still not implemented or having really been thought about at this time and is subject to change, or undergo revisions. It will not be arena-exclusive. Arena already has titles, mounts, etc. We cannot force everyone to do arena, and not everyone will be "good" or reach a high enough rating, thus reserving the feature for the same people who are arena finalists. I don't see how that rewards or accomplishes the server.

[Imperium]

I think the problem with a lot of the features the community brings up is how are we ever going to get them implemented, and by we, I mean Henhouse.

Smolderforge is not a Pve server or pvp server. it is a funserver. meaning we have a little bit of everything, and it all works to a certain extent, but because we don't focus on one category like say, pvp, it might be lacking in some balances and etc.
same with pve, there's no real focus on either aspects of the game, it's all well-rounded.
I like it this way. and I feel if we were to drastically change something, it wouldn't be smolderforge anymore.

While I agree with adding transmog and world pvp, is it going to be insanely difficult to balance and successfully add to the game without a major change? also, will everyone be able to have access to it, just like everything else on the server?

Got an arena title more than you. Tell me if you wanna set a match vs me and my arena partner. I indeed didn't play arena for a while but I still fuck you up.

And if you wanna bring the server forward you need to offer something that people will like the server and tell to friends to join aswell and not like blizzard just focused on MONEY.

With money, new people can be brought in as well. Did you ever heard of advertising? Another question: Do you even vote for Smolderforge?

What title you got? yea its true I dont have titles here, since its my first season here, but got enough glad/hero titles on retail. And yes, I can prove.
I didnt want to say you are bad, thats why I wrote bad in ???, just noticed you are never playing. = my first impression was you are a BG hero.
But ofc we can do some matches as soon I found a partner :)

You don't get my point. You can compare smolderforge with every service company.
A player logs in to the server, and see whats going on..
If he is pvp interessted he will check the arena and bg ques. Most Arena players prefers to play 3v3 because it isnt rng shit like 2v2. So if he see no one is queing 3v3 he will get bored. Because he already donated s4 so he has nothing to farm.

What will he do now..?
He will start looking for a new server, and if a friend ask him if he knows a good server he wont recomend smolderforge.

What will he do if he wouldnt get bored..?
He will bring his friends to smolderforge, convince them to donate for the server and hopefuly keep playing for a long time here.

The point is things that you can achiev easy aren't interessting thats how humans are made.

And yes, I do vote for the server. :-)
