WoW: Cross-Faction Groups Turn BGs Into Battle Royale Action!
So far, the new feature of cross-faction group play in WoW has caused surprisingly few problems. But now a funny bug has appeared that turns a simple BG into a classic Battle Royale – in which you have to compete against all players at the same time.
When Blizzard announced cross-faction group play, feelings were mixed. In the meantime, however, the feature has established itself in WoW and is used by the majority of players. Most of the time it is not even noticeable if there is a player from the enemy faction in your group. That’s not just because it doesn’t appear really intrusive. The new feature works so calmly and smoothly that it’s almost spooky. Rarely before has Blizzard brought new features into the game that ran so smoothly from the first moment.
In the meantime, however, a few errors have emerged that are caused by the new WoW feature. But most are insignificantly small. The biggest and probably funniest bug so far concerns the PvP players among us. As some heroes have found painfully, cross-faction invites should not be accepted while on the battlefield or in skirmishes.
Fine, enemies everywhere!
There seems to be a strange interaction of cross-faction group play with organized PvP systems. As several WoW players report, accepting an overarching invitation messes up the current battlefield.
If you are in a BG or skirmish and accept the invitation of a friend from the opposite faction, all players in the BG will become your enemies in one fell swoop. So you’re not only fighting against the other team, but also against your own. In a way, you are in a Battle Royale, in which every player is an opponent. Although that’s not quite right, because the remaining players continue to fight against each other in two teams – only you don’t belong to either team anymore.
Incidentally, this also means that you are no longer allowed to use the spirit healer and always have to walk to your corpse. But that should be the smaller of the two problems. Because without a team you have no chance in the BG. Even if your teammates realize what’s going on, you’ll be left without healing and buffs, and you’ll be lost in any two-team AoE skirmish. Have you encountered these or similar bugs in cross-faction group play?
