How many plunders did you collect in total when you reach renown 40? Just for a rough calculation on how many plunders left for me to reach renown 40
bad at pvp? this isnt even pvp. Every play have the same abilities!this guide is literal how to play a royal if u are just bad at video game in general!Good lord!1
Lovely little guide. Made me laugh. Not quite enough to get me to try Plunderstorm but almost, almost.
Got to renown level 3 over a day or so, and have now happily abandoned plunderstorm. It's not for me.
I don't do arenas. I don't do rated PvP. I didn't ask for a battle royale. In my first first couple matches, I died in less than one minute.Yet 40 renown levels later, I am absolutely loving this mode. Instead of being the hunted, I am now the hunter with twenty-plus wins in solos. The sense of entitlement of some PvE players is shocking to me. Now I take great joy whenever I get the jump on a low level player. If they ask nicely to be left alone, I'll do it. But otherwise everyone is fair game.If Blizzard's goal is to convert non-believers into PvPers, then they succeeded with me. When Plunderstorm ends, I still won't do arenas or rated PvP. But when Plunderstorm comes back, I'll be looking forward to it.My tip for the PvE players to survive longer: get better at PvE, not PvP. If you level faster, then the PvE players will leave you alone (obviously) and the PvP players will realize it's not worth the risk or time to spend a prolonged fight with you. Put up a little resistance and even the PvP players will back off.
Thank you for making this mode Blizzard. It was good fun for a few days.I was admittedly not a fan at first. But it grew on me.I hope you do more modes like this.I hear whispers of a Vampire Survivor mode.If it is something like this but with no pvp I will be very excited to play it.I hope these modes make it into retail at some point.I would like to do Warsong Gulch or Arathi Basin like this.Or dare I say even arena? Or even a raid?
I love this guide! This is exactly how I play! I gather as much plunder as I can, try to use the skills that help me, instead of it being best for pvp. I try to at least give pvpers a hard time when they try to attack me. If I give them a run for their money I find it super fun. There you go, have some plunder. You earned it! I rarely manage to kill myself, yet that is ok. I am just not good at pvp.
I started out trying to be nice, when I hit my goal of 500 plunder I'd let a PvPer kill me for renown and loot, but since so many decided to be @#$%s about it (chasing me clear across the map when they knew I was no threat to them and the like) I hoovered up as many purple level abilities and plunder as I could get my hands on and then ran full tilt into the storm so they got no kill credit, loot, or damn good abilities. I have since learned that other PvEers have begun doing the same, and it warms the cockles of my heart. If you're gonna play the event the way you want to, regardless of other people's feelings, we PvEers will do the same. After all, what's important is that everyone gets to enjoy the event, right? ;)
I'm not sure referring to your users as "Scaredy-cats" is going to help the toxic environment, but anyway...I sucked it up and ground out a few levels of renown, and at least I've managed to get a strategy down that works for me, while keeping the number of pvp engagements to less than 5. Land somewhere near the edge of the map, do the objective (that "Find 2 items" can be a pita, but it least one of the items can be cheesed), and then head for the storm. 5-7 minutes, an average of 500 rep/plunder, and my sanity is somewhat kept in place.
Retail players are far too entitled, they expect to be handed everything easily. This game mode should be pvp only and tell the babies they have to earn it for once... It's like raising children, Blizz is teaching the babies bad habits.Not everything has to be catered to you. Sometimes it's good someone else is able to earn things you can't. Because they are better at it than you.
Kind of reads like a rich man telling a poor man how to save money. Make your own coffee! You'll be fine!Expect a hellish grind, and being real mad when a sweaty jumps you 2 seconds in.
I hated this event but I wanted the parrot mounts so I did the renown grind to 40. I RARELY did any pvp. The few games I actually tried to win it seems like I could have gotten more plunder with land/loot/die method in the same timeframe. Looting to around 500-600 plunder takes about 5-10 mins most games. So it seems like its better to loot until 500 then run into the storm. Yeah you might run into a pvp andy that kills you 30 secs into the match just start over. The grind sucks but the rewards are nice. Hopefully in the future there is a more pve friendly mode.
Removing this discord webhook until this event is over or this gets properly tagged.
This is all what I've been doing. But I would feel better about it if players were given a minute or two to complete the quest, collect abilities and a decent amount of plunder before PvP begins. Being killed by another player the instant you land is really not that fun.
