Drums of War
Cross-Realm Battlegrounds
For the first time in the history of Worldof Warcraft, you will be able to face off against players from otherrealms in the Battlegrounds. PvP Battlegrounds link Alterac Valley,Warsong Gulch, and Arathi Basin so that players from several realmswill be combined into one huge matchmaking pool. Replenish your mana,sharpen your blades, and get ready for some brand-new challengers!
World PvP
The stage is set for intense,objective-based land battles as Horde and Alliance vie for control overimportant strategic positions and resources around Azeroth. Head outfor Silithus and Eastern Plaguelands to engage the enemy on the field!
General
* Threat Reduction Effects
o Thissystem has been redesigned to eliminate inconsistency in how theeffects work. Previously, some were additive (for example: 30%reduction + 20% reduction = 50% reduction) while others weremultiplicative (30% reduction and 20% reduction made 44% reduction,from 0.7*0.8). They are now all multiplicative. This also preventsunpredictable behavior when the total reduction percentage was equal toor greater than 100%. Please note that in almost all cases, whenstacking multiple threat reduction effects you will experience lessthreat reduction than previously.
* Haste and Slow effects
o Previously Haste andSlow effects worked inconsistently, with spells working differentlyfrom weapons, and hastes and slows not acting as inverses of eachother. We have revised the system so that all haste and slow effectswork the same way, and haste and slow percentages of the same magnitudeperfectly cancel each other out (30% haste and 30% slow combine to nochange). As a result, we had to change the tooltip numbers on all spellhaste effects, and on all melee and range slow effects. The numbers inthe tooltips are different, but the game functionality is unchanged(other than slight rounding errors). Those tooltips that changed willnow display larger numbers than they used to display. Conceptually,haste values indicate how much more of that activity you can perform ina given time. 30% melee haste means 30% more swings in a given time.Slow values indicate how much longer an activity takes to complete. 30%slow means an action takes 30% longer to finish.
* The deserter debuff will now continue to expire even while you are offline.
* Honorable Kills now diminish at a rate 10% per kill rather than 25% per kill.
* Temporaryitem buffs (e.g. poisons, sharpening stones and shaman weapon buffs)will no longer persist through zoning or logging out due to technicalissues. This feature is anticipated to be activated once more with theexpansion.
