1.12 AV is a huge, huge mistake

Most of the people I know who are playing AV right now aren’t doing it for fun, they’re grinding honor and say they can’t wait to not have to do AV.

I’ve seen people in /g and the server’s discord who queued for AV out of nostalgia express nothing but disappointment in the match they played. I’ve not actually seen anyone say they liked it unless they were saying how good it was for Honor.

So why are you not sabotaging AV? It’s easy to do, but may take more than one person. Seems there are enough here and on your friends list to easily accomplish that.

I’m not even playing in AV. It was fun because of the big scale battles that happened. Me and two friends can’t make 37 other people fight. We can annoy them by not rushing and doing all those other things, but that’s not going to get me the epic 40v40

The kind where I get to sneak up on that gnome mage on a hilltop who thinks he’s just about to POM pyro some noob from 100 to 0 only to find himself stunlocked from 100 to 0 instead. Or when we finally make it to the ally base and I get clocked by 2 rogues because I’m the only thing keeping the tank alive and now we’ll have to push through the alliance another hour or three to have another shot.

The kind where you fight to the top of a tower only to be thwarted at the last minute, but as you release, you see 5 horde coming in from the rear to reinforce so you run back as far as you can to try and be there for the cap.

The only hope of these things ever happening again is an AV where you cannot rush and side objective matter.

Yea you can.

I’ve been running AV just for the fishing and I have seen many runs where they last 20+ mins because the horde can’t help but back-cap graveyards and trim off the back-end of the Alliance short bus, causing a turtle at the beginning.

20 minutes? lol that’s not what I’m talking about. I waited 2 hours in an AV queue one Friday night. Played for 4 hours, went to bed and queued first thing in the morning into the same game. It went on until late Monday night before the horde finally won.

Back in those days, you zone in and the first thing you say in chat was, “how long?”

– no it’s not what you’re talking about on either end.

It’s not five minutes.
It has PvP… a lot of it.
It doesn’t last entire days.

Nowdays, you see most priests with Atiesh. Could have happened back in the day, but didn’t and we can’t undo that.

I’m aware it doesn’t last days. That’s what I’ve been griping about. I can get 20 minutes of PvP in WSG lol

At least you are not bothering to hide your trolling anymore.

And? Your claims that AV in classic would just be zergs turned out to be nothing more than fear mongering.

Have you owned up to that, your trolling?

Holy crap, even now you will deny the zergable nature of 1.12. How pathetic.

I never denied it could be zerged, I said it wouldn’t be the same as it is in retail.

And guess what, i’m right.

Do you understand now what harm reinforcements did?

/pat keep on fear mongering.

The vast majority of AVs in classic are zergs. But yet you are still ignoring the elephant in the room. You do you, boo.

That last one is funny, in light of the fact that they chose early AV as what to showcase for the 15th anniversary.

You seem really mad.

You keep lying and fear mongaring.

OK Baghdad Bob.
“Those are not zergs happening, citizens! It is just fear mongering by the Great Satan!”

“You are not losing ranks because you are not spamming zerg AVs, that again is just an illusion of the Great Satan!”

Blizzard is trash and they somehow ruined the best version of their best game. Who is surprised? Not me.

One more reminder that:

  • people did want what they thought they wanted, and
  • people did know what they did not want because it did not belong in Classic.

One more reminder that Blizzard did not.

AV 1.12: still a huge, huge mistake.
