So you expect blizzard to do to SHGY what they did in retail and make it easier to defend? They raised the elevation. Its a big hill now. Any structural changes they do to the bg would end up not being vanilla av anymore. Might as well add reinforcements and change the honor to a currency.
No to any of this. The only change to AV that needs to happen is revert the instance to its 1.5 state.
1.5 and 1.7 would be just as bad, because the cave res at IBGY still exists in those maps.
We need the cave moved back and that you do not get sent to the cave if you control a GY.
If this strategy was employed during vanilla and horde started winning at anywhere close to these numbers changes would have been made and FAST. They have already changed things due to this reasoning(ectoplasmic distiller) and have made changes to AV itself to where the version we have now NEVER existed in the history of WoW.
The easiest/best map they could do at this point would be to give us the 2.4 map with no reinforcement mechanics.
I’ve bypassed the entire alliance team at SHGY with invisibility potions when 90% of the alliance team was there. And that’s limited to 18 seconds, stealth has no duration limit.
If I can get past a battle in progress with a limited duration how can alliance not get past horde waiting to kill something at the “magical” IWB choke.
Because running through it while mounted is not using stealth properly. Or did you think that counted as being stealthy?
I’m not sure why this thread has to keep going. Everyone, Horde and Alliance has agreed at one point or another in this thread that the map is a problem. We can debate until Thrall comes home about the extent to which the map is the problem, but between player attitudes and the map, Blizzard can only fix the map.
