AOO is up with 400 loot

[Aeroaxx-stormreaver]

Blah blah blah. You’re Alliance… your words are worthless. Just so you know, so you won’t waste your time. I won’t be reading anything you say.

[Aeroaxx-stormreaver]

If only condescension wasn’t around I’d probably be more inclined to chat.

But alas.

Seems a rant is enough to get certain people to get… Ballistic.

Horde are doing just fine in WPvP, trust me. Just got done messing around in WM and they had no problems.

[Akaraven-thaurissan (Akaraven)]

Ion said in an interview that it was very bad sharding which exacerbated a huge imbalance in the long run.

Yeh and we can believe Ion with what he says? Fact is this, outdoor PVP is very far from balanced in any aspect, not in class, spec, character or gear level and overall needs a makeover.

I like turtles

I like murlocs (inserts invisible and not-real murloc emoji).

[Kasim-hyjal]

ok… i don’t understand the 400 ilvl loot then?

The 400 ilevel loot did not happen. Initially the quest showed a 400 ilevel reward, but when handed it the wording on the quest had been changed to 395 ilevel, which is what I was given.

T’was a pretty annoying bait and switch, actually, as the toons I first did it on didn’t need any 395 gear.

I mean if you have a better source, go ahead.

Just don’t use anecdotes to support your argument. It’s extremely low IQ, and I’ll get triggered.

Every time I see a horde about this quest I .

[Släshcry-area-52 (Släshcry)]

Just wanted to respond to your post about a source that the sharding being fixed. Go look at the Live Q&A where Ion specifically says, “However, there were some phasing issues that lead to more Horde in a phase.”

Can you source it?

“Were” being the keyword. As in past tense. As in not anymore. If you need a clearer explanation I can’t help you.

I can’t even believe this is an actual argument. Are you being 100% dead serious right now when you say this?

Can you seriously not entertain the very strong possibility that Ion was talking in the past tense about the event that was occurring there? How does that imply that it was fixed?

You seriously can’t get something where Ion literally says that they fixed sharding instead of having to resort to very particular semantics?

The source is the Jan 24th Live Q&A. I can’t link it because of Blizzard’s stupid “Need level 3 trust”, but you can find it by looking for that in google. Wowhead has the recap that I copy/pasted the response.

And seriously, if you can’t understand how “were” does not imply “currently” I don’t know what to say. You talk about “IQ” and “demand” evidence, but then you can’t take time to find the link of the exact quote I mentioned (it’s the same Q&A where Ion says that things were fairly even at the start of BfA)… and then you can’t grasp concepts of past and present tense.

You try to play hardline from your point of view and try to “weasal words” (as you put it) and play naive at what “were some phasing issues” means.

Stop wasting my time.

[Neocleo-proudmoore (Neocleo)]

Oh please. Don’t pretend that the same does not happen on Horde.

[Dosao-bonechewer (Dosao)]

Gotta agree with the ally… why would you log out at the terrace , a notable gank spot in BFA !!

[Haven-trollbane (Haven)]

lol you PvP people are sure great fun to watch

[Mazharr-moon-guard]

I can’t link it because of Blizzard’s stupid “Need level 3 trust”,

I can’t either. I’m allowed to post meme videos from YouTube, but not links to any useful sources.

Bypass it by using code blocks.

if you can’t understand how “were” does not imply “currently” I don’t know what to say.

You fundamentally don’t understand English, my guy. No offense, this is a wasted point. I don’t want to play semantics.

I don’t know what to say. You talk about “IQ” and “demand” evidence

Can you just find a source from Ion or a Blizzard game developer directly saying that the sharding issue has been fixed? This is the strongest evidence for your case.

but then you can’t take time to find the link of the exact quote I mentioned

The burden of proof is on you, not me. You made the claim, you prove it. This is how every logical argument is constructed, my duderino.

[Hilonju-illidan]

Yes but the alliance seem to do it more often

[Neocleo-proudmoore (Neocleo)]

Last night I was getting my tortollan emissary out of the way and I had to fly to the Sanctuary FP in Voldun… there was what seemed like a bajillion Horde camping the WQ at the FP. I landed and got instakilled. I just walked back and got lucky enough to actually click the npc so I could do the matching game. When I was done, I did not even have a chance to stealth because there was so much aoe random dmg going out that I lagged into the grave yard lol. So I walked back and managed to get lucky again and made it out. Thank god I am a rogue! Was I mad. No because, when I play Horde I do the same thing as they do. As I do when I play Alliance. Equally as the opportunity arises. But this is just mho based on my experiences.

Honestly… who wants to log into a fantasy universe where you can be almost anything… and then pick a fat guy.

[Neocleo-proudmoore (Neocleo)]

A fatter guy? He will get to feel all skinny LOL Also, I’m starting to like the KT’s. I guess they “grow” on you?

Turn off WM? Turn off subscription for this expansion more like.

Go google “Live Developer Q&A Jan 24”… find the youtube link. Go to 6:35 in the youtube… this is exactly what Ion says:
“There were some challenges with the way our shard matchmaking was working that lead to Horde outnumbering Alliance in a lot of situations early on, but by the time we had fixed those…”

See how he mentions it was fixed in regards to the sharding issue?

We done here?

Now, go find empirical data that Horde is more cowardly. If you can’t… then stop talking.

Ok I’ll admit, that part was some good bant.
