#Call to arms world of warcraft Patch#
Patch 5.0.4 (): The Call to Arms battleground system has been changed.Patch 5.3.0 (): Down-voting a battleground no longer prevents players from queuing for it through the Call to Arms or Specific Battlegrounds options.Patch 6.0.2 (): Removed, along with all related NPCs.In Warlords, the feature was removed, with players intended to use the Random Battleground feature instead. Senior PvP Designer Brian Holinka explained that while originally added in order to increase variety to the battleground experience and allow players to regularly 'binge' on specific battlegrounds, the feature came to have an "adverse affect" on queue times in "a pretty profound way" due to players of one faction typically queuing heavily for the current Call to Arms battleground, while the other faction avoids it. The Call to Arms battleground feature was removed with Warlords of Draenor. Battlegrounds above a player's level are not displayed in the PvP interface, so if no Call to Arms option is currently displayed, it is likely due to the current battleground being unavailable at your character's level. However, since battlegrounds are restricted by level, non-max level players may at times be unable to participate in the Call to Arms system. There is always a Call to Arms battleground. Call to Arms battlegrounds change at 12:01 AM (midnight), server time. You can find the schedule for Call to Arms battlegrounds in the in-game Calendar, by selecting 'Battleground Call to Arms' from the drop-down 'Filters' list.Ī new Call to Arms battleground is selected twice weekly, with a given battleground featuring from Tuesday to Thursday, or from Friday to Monday.

Players only receive additional rewards for completing CtA battlegrounds when having queued for that specific battleground. Rewards are also determined by the character's level, with those at max level receiving more than other characters. The first victory each day in a Bonus Battleground offers increased rewards. Greater rewards are offered for winning the battleground, while a smaller amount is rewarded for completing the battleground with a loss or a draw.


The bonus rewards for completing a Bonus Battleground are displayed at the top right of the Honor pane. Call to Arms battlegrounds are one of two types of Bonus Battleground, with the completion rewards identical to those offered by the Random Battleground option. For example, Honor may be rewarded for every 130 resources gathered, instead of every 200.Ĭompleting the current CtA battleground will grant players bonus Honor and/or Conquest Points. CtA battlegrounds offer improved bonus Honor rewards, either by awarding larger amounts, or by awarding Honor more easily.

These are granted in two ways.īonus Honor is awarded within battlegrounds in response to certain events or achievements, such as gathering resources in resource race battlegrounds, preventing the other team from capturing flags, and destroying enemy structures and NPCs.
