From the first time Blizzard introduced battlegrounds for PvP action to the game; they have brought a new and fun dimension to the game. For many, the PvE side of the game is only there to level up with and reach the new battlegrounds, and make the gold needed to pay for new gear while waiting to earn the badges needed to buy the latest Tier gear. As with each previous expansion pack, there have been a few battleground changes in Cataclysm intended specifically to keep the fun rolling.
For those of us that have been around since the early days, we remember how hard we had to work to earn our PvP ranks. It took many hours of ganking the other guys to go from Private to one of the many Officer ranks and only a few managed to reach Field Marshal. Then came Wrath and away went the PvP ranks we worked so hard to earn. Fortunately one of the Cataclysm battleground changes is the return of the BG Title system. Finally we will once again be able to show everyone just how hard we have been working in the battlegrounds.
By far the biggest change that is being made to the battlegrounds in Cataclysm is the introduction of Ranked Battlegrounds. You will be able to form raid groups before entering the BG and your group will be matched against an opposing team that has a similar rating. Every week the format for the battlegrounds is going to change, one week will be 10 man, then 15 followed by 25 man. You will be awarded Conquest Points for wins which can be traded in for gear.
There are two new battlegrounds in Cataclysm, Twin Peaks and Gilneas at the moment, and more to come. As with every season there will be special rewards for the teams including Honor titles. Those teams that reach the equivalent of "Gladiator" status are also going to be rewarded with special epic ground mounts that you will be able to show off especially when you ride out into your first BG when the next season starts.
One final change to battlegrounds in Cataclysm is in the way that they are clustered. Now instead of being limited to servers in a particular battlegroup the way they were in Wrath, those who you are fighting against players from anywhere in your region. In other words, if you are in North America, you will be queuing up with others from anywhere on the North American continent. This applies to all regions and should reduce your wait times.
Not sure you’re ready to jump into the battlegrounds and play each of them with the kind of dedication needed to be a serious PvPer in World of Warcraft? Visit www.PvPBible.com for details on how to make the leap.
