New Mercenary Mode

Lol seems interesting ... But what is appropriate opposite race? I can only think of Belf>nelf
 
But all I see is for players switching over and screwing their teams up
 
Oh this opens a huge window for exploits ....

I like the idea, it goes completely against the Lore of WoW but PvPers do not really care for that. Long run I hope it will help the terrible queue times both at end-game (mostly, RNG ashran sucks enough ) and twink brackets.

I can totally see an Alliance Moon Guard player playing on Horde and just screwing his whole team up. Like not healing, or leap of faith the FC close to the Alliance team, etc. cuz you know ... FOR THE ALLIANCE...
 
Prob not the best section to put this thread in but yeh, I like the idea and no I don't think exploiting will be a problem. U will need half a raid to even make an impact tbh.

call wrong inc, tell team efc is at gy when he's on the roof
 
Love the idea. A couple years ago this sort of thing would probably have bothered me from a lore perspective, but these days all I really ask for is quick q pops and a fun team to play with. Be fun to run with my alliance mates again ;)
 
I'm all for it if it shortens queues. Despite Rift having horrible pvp in general, it's mercenary mode works very well. For solo queuing in particular you quickly forget about faction and just play for your team, earning the same points for yourself either way. There really is no in-game incentive to sabotage.

More worrisome is the adware/malware now being pushed on this site (at least it's new to me).
 
"You’ll also have your race automatically changed into one appropriate for the opposite faction while you’re still inside the Battleground"
So are racial abilities going out the window, or will abilities be swapped as well?
 
I would bet you would appear as the other race to them. Pure speculation. Even now in RBGs you can play as the opposition and stay as your own race. The technology has been around for a long long time for them to be able to morph characters. I had my characters get morphed quite often in tBC while using the engy transport in Area 52.
Big question is will it filter down to the lower brackets. It seems like it will be endgame only right now. Since eveturning is centered around Ashran and the hub cities.

Or maybe we'll all look like turkeys to the other team! I doubt they would do something so confusing and disappointing since many choose racials to fit their play style. If they did, I bet there would be enough of an uproar that they would change it. It's got to be an appearance thing only.
 
id prefer a bounty hunter mode where you get a quest to kill a particular player. damn, i miss SWG. As far as this system being abused to screw over the team you're on, hows it different than having toons on both factions? when i get bent out of shape at my team for either gy farming or not following objectives i just switch to the opposite faction and take out my frustrations that way. i don't think this will help que times.
 
Thought it was ashran only first, read it too fast but do we know anything about if this will affect locked exp ppl aswell? And what is long ques? What do u guys think?
