The World PvP feature will be restricted to two zones, Silithus and Eastern Plaguelands, where gamers can compete against other players in achieving non-instanced objectives that’ll improve their reputation with zone-wide factions to acquire honour points and faction benefits.
In Silithus, your objective involves collecting a spice from various geysers that have sprung up throughout the zone. Each time a player successfully returns the spice to their faction’s base you’ll receive a stat-boosting buff. Eventually, once collecting enough spices, all players from your faction in the zone or in either the Ahn’Qiraj dungeons will receive a beneficial buff. Meanwhile, in the Eastern Plaguelands, players will race to control, and defend, several towers that are marked within the zone. Once all four towers are controlled, the faction who possesses them will gain zone-wide benefits, including a buff that’ll increase players damage against undead creatures, as well as a faster flight-path across the zone.
Also included in the upcoming patch will be the introduction of cross-realm Battlegrounds. Players will be able to compete against other players from other realms in all three of the current instanced battlegrounds: Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin, and Alterac Valley.
Further details have yet to be announced on either of the two new features. In the meantime, however, be sure to checkout the four new screenshots in the Media Panel.
