Mythic has always been a champion of RvR, but so far Blizzard has never followed it down this path. In short, no one should feel intimidated to go down to a BG or an arena. The latter will continue to exist and will still give advantages, but it will not be so decisive in the outcome of a fight. What we want to achieve, though, is that if a player used to raiding wants to prove himself in a battleground, he doesn’t have to be torn apart by other players just because they have PvP gear. Ray Cobo: At the moment we have not yet decided how far we will carry this idea forward and if a single set will be enough to play indifferently in PvP or PvE. “We want to focus on reducing the gap between PvE and PvP – Ray Cobo” The gear that you will get with Mists of Pandaria, for example, it will already have Resilience included in the statistics.Įurogamer: This is an interesting news: are you saying that in the future we will be able to go to battle in arenas with the equipment obtained by raiding?

The last point we want to focus on is reducing the gap that separates PvE from PvP.

If we then combine Pet Challenges and Battles with this, I believe we are outlining a future where classic WoW gameplay will undergo interesting evolutions.

However, it is our intention to update the quest system to avoid that users always have the feeling that they are going to kill the usual ten rabbits, and we are convinced that with the Scenarios we will introduce a significant change in the game mechanics. Ray Cobo: It’s true that WoW gameplay has essentially remained the same, but after so many years people are so used to a certain type of experience that it would be wrong to change it, because that’s exactly what they want.Īccording to Ray Cobo, the gap between PvP gear and PvE gear will be reduced by introducing Resilience in the latter: show! Have you ever thought of some more radical changes to get out of the usual tracks? Even just to reach those groups of users so far remained insensitive to the calls of Azeroth … One, in short, who knows just a couple of things about this title …Įurogamer: Years go by but the core of World of Warcraft gameplay is still the same. This time, Ray Cobo, Word of Warcraft Senior Producer, ended up in front of Eurogamer’s microphones. With today’s article our coverage dedicated to the press tour in Irvine from Blizzard for Mists of Pandaria. World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria – interview with Ray Cobo
