Collecting those scrolls is one of the most tiring chores in epics pregame.

Or at the least allow us to keep them until we log out like mana biscuits.
Or just put everything we need on one vendor.
I really wish it was a toy, even the chopper that takes your artifact fragments to auto-turn it in for you.
Combine it with the AV one so you have one toy to return you to your base whether you’re playing Ashran or AV.

there really should just be a “teleport to base” toy that works for all epics.
merc too.
That’s annoying, can’t use AV toy as Merc…
But Teleporting to Base in Wintergrasp as Defense would be even more of an advantage. Defense being easier if done well.
We used to have Graveyard teleport in Wintergrasp, that would be cool to have back.
Dont it make you feel like part of a special elite group who knows about and goes to get this super powered item. I mean think of all those people who didnt know and had to run their fragments on a risky enemy infested route back to base =)
I like the idea of it being a toy, maybe you collect it one time and then bam you got it forever.
Ive been meaning to pay attention to this lately (if people use them) and its something I never really notice anymore with all the spell effect spam but make sure you pick up the battle standard(15%hp increase) stormpike battle standard (15%dmg increase in AV) and there is also the ashran battle standard that gives a vers buff about the size of a ring enchant 300ish or so i think. the hp one has a different cooldown than the others so you can drop 2 at once and be the battleground hero.
that map needs an overhaul, obvious i have some bias, but i think my own suggestions for it are the best.
there is no offense or defense advantage, the entire game is won or lost over the initial SR fight, generally if you don’t go SR, you lose, if you don’t win SR, you lose. teleporting back to base would help with defense, but in reality most games where the base needs defense its because the defensive team got wiped and is already rezzing in the base GY.
I actually like wintergrasp and the vehicle combat to me is fun. I agree with what you say about it though. Everything pretty much hinges on that first SR engagement. Anyone with experience knows exactly how the bg will go during that fight
i would also settle for a pvp consumable purchased with marks or honor.
don’t forget your guild standard for 15% more honor gains as well.
I once conviced pugs to do this strat and we won after losing SR fight

That is almost always a losing strategy and means you are really just getting pushed back and back until they make a run on your towers. I’m not saying impossible to win but so unlikely I have to wonder if you are being sarcastic =p
Edit: if you dont get the kills at SR you probably arent getting them at eastpark. Since you cant rank up to get vehicles its just a snowballing effect that is difficult to recover from

its not impossible to recover from losing SR, but the deck is stacked against you, especially if you didn’t get rank and don’t have a premade to create a momentum with the pugs. so it really depends on how badly you lose SR, if SR was a close battle, it will be a close game, if SR was not a close battle, it will not be a close game and you will not win.
exceptions obviously, but in like a thousand games, i’ve seen it only happen once that i remember where we stomped them wholehandedly at SR only to lose on the bridge and lose the game.

It has to happen quickly, usually their defense is weak when they just won SR, so all your RANK 2’s should build and rush to the south gate through middle bridge.
It works on paper.
Well in my case you have to consider games that aren’t a roflstomp. Of course if the team got wiped in 0.2 seconds at SR, there’s almost no coming back.
Sometimes it feels like if I am playing the healer and we lose at SR, we are DEF losing that bg lol. Ill say this tho I swear its a conspiracy too. If I’m playing the healer it will que me into every epic bg with like 10 other heals I swear, I log onto the rogue and it will be like 1 poorly geared healer thats it… lol everytime

That happens to me, I’m like we don’t have any healers EVER so I go on my heal and bam, they’re all in my group now. ??
Shocked you see people getting scrolls, 99% of the time I run Ashran there’s only a few who actually grab scrolls. Easy to get, takes a few seconds…heaven forbid you suggest grabbing them to those that didn’t you are just met with hostility lol
Kind of the same people who never have gliders when they should in Wintergrasp on offense at start.
Not sure if it’s purposeful ignorance, laziness or what
Only reason I even knew where the scrolls were was I went looking after seeing people talk about it in instance chat in a match.
I don’t blame the players. I blame the battleground design and UI.
For example there’s literally nothing showing you where the solar sphere is or even what it is. All you know is you might get a message you captured it and you get a buff. Nothing tells you it’s in the mines.
