In addition to new player-versus-environment zones, Cataclysm will add plenty of PVP stuff, including new PVP playfields and a new mode of competition. It will take forms of "WoTLK Gold" which Blizzard calls "competitive battlefield play" that provide better results in rewarding players who are skilled. Battlegrounds currently allow skilled players to earn honor points that can be used to purchase rewards However, they also allow random players in groups behave like compete with jackasses.
The newly rated battlegrounds will be more geared towards teams by providing the new reward type "conquest points" and will also offer two brand new, more compact playfields with which to play. The two fields will be able to compete in "Twin Peaks,"" an area of mountains with additional graveyards located across central areas of the map to allow players who have been defeated to return to an area that is close to where the action is. The good news is that raiding will be much more accessible in Cataclysm.
Other new additions include a large amount of content from high-end raids and new options to make raids more user-friendly like the ability to "downshift" larger raids into smaller groups. For instance that, if you're participating in a raiding group on one night, you may be surprised to discover that not everyone could be able to make it. Instead of abandoning the quest, you could "downshift" it to at least three raids of 10 people with somewhat less content and rewards that may not be as good...but you'll be able to maintain your progression. "Raid locks," the state of being locked into a single location after beating a boss or two has also been modified. If you happen to get some points in the raid, but you fail to make it through the group, you are able to join another group of raiders that has at least to. The latest, prominent raiding content is called The Bastion of Twilight, a enormous subterranean fortress ruled by one buy WoTLK Classic Gold top lieutenants. On the most difficult level, it holds the most terrifying and dark secrets beneath the ground, which may be a source of eggs of some kind.
