Alterac Valley Adjustments Incoming

So blizzard confirms it’s ideal game play is horde farming alliance in the world with OP racials and OP numbers.

These changes will cause the Horde Queue to jump up to 1-2 hours and force a repeat of the stupidity of FP farming, Boat farming, Dungeon entrance farming.

Blizzard knows this so you have to conclude this is what they want to occur. I think we know what faction the blue’s are playing here.

We need to differentiate between a temporary imbalance at a particular location, and a regular pattern of that imbalance AT multiple locations caused by the faction selection differences themselves. For nearly all servers, only the former exists. Land at LHC get killed a couple times if your faction isn’t there holding it currently… it’s the way it is. I was killed hundreds of times before honor was even out. How do you explain that exactly? Psychos on Alliance? I call it fun, but the Allies on this thread can’t seem to separate the wheat from the chaff.

I doubt it… Setting up a new phase of never ending alliance farming was more important to them.

The only think I’m surprised they didn’t do was remove guards completely from alliance zones.

what’s funniest is all the poopsocking horde that are gonna have to poopsock harder to keep up with the DR change

ofc the wsg premade pros on here wouldnt know, not like theyre trying to rank lol

You know, I’ve been thinking about this a bit more and I’m not sure if celebration is warranted just yet… relative to breaking premades. So upon reading the Blue’s wording here’s something to consider.

There are Two screens involved in the AV Q process. There’s the BattleMaster screen, which is where the “Join Battle” button resides. But there’s also the Pop up prompt when you get an AV assigned to you, but that has a button labeled “Enter Battle”.

So I see two scenarios here.

Scenario 1.
Only the BM screen has the AV#s removed/not shown, but the Popup AV# remains.

Scenario 2.
Blue actually meant that Both BM and Popup AV has the numbers removed, or not shown.

In Scenario 1, this actually doesn’t change the Premade process much at all, because it’s the Popup AV# that matters the most in forming the group. This process doesn’t change, and Q dodging will still exist. The only thing this does is change the timing for when the Premades call the time to Q, because it maybe harder to identify when a new AV game is available. In this scenario, Premades are still likely to run rampant and PUGs start with 20v40, instead of 10v40. Additionally, what this does is stop Sniping from both Pugs and Premades… which will be worse for Pugs trying to get into a premade. But at least there’s the Party grouping option which is better than nothing.

If it’s actually scenario 2, then that is what will disrupt the system. Otherwise… I’m not sure if Blizzard really understands how Premades are made, or maybe their intent wasn’t to disrupt premades? We’ll really have to wait and see what happens next week.

I apologize if someone already brought this up. Just came out of meetings and haven’t had a chance to review the full thread.

Queue for WSG. Unless you don’t want PVP after all.

You are calling the Horde “crybaby” when you are whining like a 3 year old??? LOL.

As you always say, “git gud” and stop crying.

Let’s hope it’s this one. :pray:

I’d rather see those tears than listen to more horde crying like little girls with skinned knees.

The smart gnome class doesn’t understand relativity. Good one Dimestein.

There are already 30-40 mins long and im tried of joining a premade Alli game back-to-back for 4-7 hours only playing for 5 mins. So yeah this is gonna be great.

But using third party addons to know times, spell timers, when to spam what button, when to decurse, etc etc, was? IDIOT

Is this why I, as a healer, am getting scriwed over constantly?

Uh, dude, the entire UI was designed to allow players to create addons. Yes, the intent was there for things like CT Raid, DBM, etc. which are just glorified and prettified stopwatches (i.e. timers) in game.

So, now that we know that there are #changes, can you just confirm classic+ already?

we dont mind the long queues. we get to do stuff between queues without falling behind. its honestly a blessing lmao.

“No changes” was never a Blizzard thing though.

How do you even breathe under all of that salt? Again, you are on one of the most balanced realms possible, and yet here you are. I don’t get it, I truly don’t. Has Grobbulus really touched you so inappropriately? Or is this some type of edginess for edginess sake?
