Call to Arms: Nazjatar
I personally do not like PvP, so this comment might be biased, but I will try
to keep it factual.
Some initial questions I had about this quest were the following:
Q1] Do you have to kill horde players, or can it also be horde NPCs?
A1] The answer is horde players only (with a possible execption).
Q2] Do you need to be in War Mode or can you just flag yourself for PvP?
A2] I'm not sure, but it might make better sense to be in War Mode in order
to take advantage of being in War Mode if you are doing other stuff too.
Q3] Can you do this solo or do you need to be in a group?
A3] You can do it solo or in a group, but it cannot be in a raid (more than 5).
Q4] If you group for this, is there a specific queue, or can it be any custom premade group?
A4] It does not matter, but if you are in a group, and you leave the group, you will get a
negative buff (see below).
Notes:
1] DeBuff: "Battle for Nazjatar Participant".
It reads "Recently participated in the Battle for Nazjatar. Unable to recieve rewards
from Battle of Nazjatar for the duration."
This is a 60 minute debuff you will get if you are in a party with other
players and you leave the party. It basically means that you will not get
any credit for killing a horde player. The debuff will continue to cool down
if you logoff.
If the party converts to a raid, you can leave the party without this penalty.
2] Someone advised me to just hang out in Mezzamere in War Mode and wait for horde
players to attack or get close. This paid off for me. I was able to complete the
quest in about an hour this way. No need to party and that will avoid the debuff.
Also, you can rest and cool down your timed spells. If you cower back to base,
the guards will aid you. This might be the "sissy" way to complete this quest, but
I feel like whatever works for me is perfectly fine with me. It did not feel like
I was cheating, just being smart.
All said and done, I still do not like PvP, but I have to admit that I did not completely
not enjoy killing some horde players.
I will try to update this post to make it better, but for now I just want to post this to try to
help folks for now since I found nothing about this at the time I wrote this.
