2.75 hour queue for AV?

7 wins from Neutral to Exalted. Why would we ever go in there after we cap Rep when it’s just a Horde farm fest? Most of the time they even have 10 people at SH stopping people getting what few LT kills they can so they could get SOMETHING out of it.

Horde’s actions in AV are unsustainable, so enjoy your 1.5-2+ hr queues.

Wow, so you mean to tell me that Alliance are actively avoiding AV queues because the map is so horribly Horde-favored that less and less of them are queuing for it? Making Horde queue times much longer? And Horde players are complaining about the queue times instead of advocating fixing the balance issues to make AV more fair? You mean Alliance are tired of losing SHGY being an insta-loss while Horde having a viable backdoor into Stormpike?

Imagine my shock…

Our boycott is going as planned.

KEK.

No remorse for the Horde at all. You out number Alliance this time, just like how Alliance out numbered the Horde in vanilla. But the difference is Horde will still be “cuddled”.

It was weeks of losing games in less than 10 minutes after being in queue for 45.

Alliance are losing in 30 to an hour after 20 minutes of being in queue.

I wonder why.

Now its months of losing AV for alliance, no ones coming in to save them. It’s not a big deal just shows why now that the tables have turned, why one side now feels slighted.

So move the cave back. Go yell at the devs.

They aren’t going to do that. This is how the game was back then, this is how it will stay. If they were going to do it it would have been done, it’s clearly not.

I don’t know why this is even a topic anymore. We need to just move on, it’s only going to get worse but we all already know it so just don’t queue or accept whats happening.

Actually, I don’t think moving the cave back is really the answer anyway. It gives horde a head start, which is an advantage, but it isn’t the biggest advantage, which is simply the geometry of the map, mostly the geometry and placement of the graveyards. Horde cave being closer to the middle does help in those instances where horde are respawning there 20 at a time vs 10 at a time for a fight in the middle of the map, that’s a pretty big advantage, but I really don’t think that an initial 20 second head start is as big of an advantage over a 30-45 minute game as some seem to think.

Splitting the battle groups has to be one dumbest decisions yet- what purpose does that actually serve? Another example of Blizzard making poor management choices that are completely out of touch with the player experience.

Member all those times you were in the ally base, but felt the need to send large teams to back cap so the other faction got no honor? Member feeling taunting others after winning a bg 99/100 times, feeling like it was all your skill and not a bad map? Member camping GY so people could not even spawn, and laugh and laugh, and laugh?

Well, we, the ally players do! And we want to introduce you to something called consequence. Since you were actively toxic and did everything in you power to take away any fun from the other players, they simply decided not to play with you. Heck, even the allies have queue times now (granted its 3 minutes, but no longer insane).

But buck up! More and more ally players are leaving and not coming back! Soon, you can enjoy 3,4 and dare I say 8 hour queues. This will give you plenty of time to member being an absolute jerk to other people, and how this lead to you having no fun at all.

Splitting the battlegroups was a step in the right direction. They should not have been put in place at all, like real vanilla. Server only bgs acted as a leveling force to horrible faction imbalance and the bad faith choices people made to game the system. Frankly, your queues need to be longer.

Less and less ally Q when they get thier rep rewards. We saw this when the BG came out.

Q’s were very low for a bit, then as people got exalted the alliance players stopped Qing. They dont like PvP usually. Even when they were winning Q times continued to rise so dont let this boycott/unbalanced map garbage obscure the truth.

To the people saying that everyone just stopped Qing because of win rate. Stop fooling yourselves. Horde PuGs got better and better at attempting to stop premades. It forced a lot of chaotic coordination that imo led to better PUGS. Your premades forced us to work together even in solo Qs, and now that work we put in is coming out in the form of a curbstomping of ally in AV because they havent adapted yet to being in a PUG constantly.

Few side notes;
Yes, horde racials are better for PvP.
Yes, the map has flaws. Imo it favors us early and favors you late as far as the chokes are designed.

No, thats not the only reason you are losing. You and your cheating premades are also to blame for your situation.

So it favors you the whole time since if we ever successfully choke you at SPGY you just exploit into our base?

Quit being a pussy and wanting easy wins and going horde, maybe that will make your ques shorter. All the wimps who want easy honor went horde, so wahh wahh you got long ques. Don’t give a Shi! Try playing alliance and losing constantly. This isn’t how the game is supposed to be, that everyone went Horde and totally unbalanced the game, but they did and now they’re crying a river over que times. TOUGH! Change factions, balance it out…or quit…your choice

Weird.

I was told alliance and horde numbers seem to be even yet only horde has queue issues. How strange!

Why would anyone want to play a map that puts you at a disadvantage? Blizzard won’t make map changes because it’s not vanilla but made changes when horde whined. Whine for map changes and ally might come back.

Alliance will always have short queues but I remember being told horde loooove long bg queues.

One must observe the niceties.

Why would alliance play AV? Map is terrible and biased against us. We get the same honor in WSG and AB where its balanced.

Come get spanked in a real BG and stop leaning on AV just because you get wins handed to you there by the map design. Or wait 3 hours in between matches; whatever, just choose one.

Might wanna get your horde buddies to start zerging instead of scorched earth and alliance might que. No serious pvpers have been queing AV for almost two months. Horde has just been stomping casual pve players that want rep, now they are stopping to que since it’s 0 fun.
