PvP News
There are also several major PvP improvements that we have been working on!
- In a couple of days, the PvP matchmaking system will be upgraded, resulting in additional gains. There upgrades will allow you to push to rating 2200 and beyond, which will make it possible to obtain Elite Gear and further rewards! 🛡️
- Additionally you will be able to obtain seasonal rewards from SoloQueue, including seasonal titles and the gladiator mount. 🏅
Lastly, we would like to announce the end term for the current PvP season ‒ on the 11th of December, 2024, coinciding with the launch of patch 5.2, the gates of ranked battlegrounds and arenas will be closed, followed by an evaluation week, during which you will not be able to enter any arenas. After that, the long-awaited, fully new Season 13 will begin!
Happy adventuring!
