Hmmmm, about how long does it take to level a toon 1-70 in TBCC, as a casual side-project?
As I continue to monitor the TBCC forum, I’m starting to get the itch to jump in myself
Oh and, what’s the “big” Alliance server?
According to the forums the Horde has “1 hour” queue times for BGs, and at the end of such a queue you allegedly get matched up against a premade, stomped, and then put back into another long queue.
I don’t really have any reason to believe so many different posters could be lying.
The sheer amount of complain threads and “merc mode” discussions still popping up makes me think they are telling the truth. So it would definitely have to be an Alliance alt.
Well… I started playin classic in Feb and I’m at 57 on my highest toon.
I don’t think I’m a very good example lol.
*on the new house front- everything passed inspection/appraisal and we are cleared and have a closing date so it’s as official as it can be without having actually received the keys
Also depends on what you’re leveling. Prot pallies and mages AoE’ing mobs vs a spriest wanding solo pulls.
Back from a week on the beach and ready to level past 68 on the spriest before finishing up the mage. Anyone hit 70 yet? Checking to see where I stand in the race.
This really is a big disappointment. I honestly have a hard time believing they would even “test” something like this on a classic game. It definitely dumps all over the integrity of the classic experience.
So I was afk/hadn’t checked the forums since this morning. Just now had a quick skim-thru of the board and it looks like a -storm is already starting to brew over this
I see that the blue post is less than 4 hours old, but is already 1.4k+ replies
Back on Tuesday, when the patch was almost unplayable with all the lag/DCs, I fired up TBCC and started a Night Elf Druid (over on Pagle) to pass the time.
Only got to level 12 and now this suddenly comes out of nowhere… ugh. I guess I got lucky in that I only wasted about 5 hours on it.
Will be re-rolling a Horde alt instead as a result of this announcement from the blues.
No it’s not. It’s a terrible solution that will chip away at alliance populations. Make servers even more one sided. If they wanted to address faction ques in this way they should have actually just went all in.
Let horde players play with alliance. That way the alliance wouldn’t just die off. Possibly the dumbest, half arsed fix I’ve seen.
It’s a great solution if you’re looking to fix bg queue times permanently. Players don’t have to go to some random NPC to enable mercenary mode, etc.
But yeah, probably not that good for the smaller faction. Guess we’ll see if the Alliance population continues to dwindle or if it stays the same size at a certain point.
You’re basically saying screw lore at this point military exercises? When you start on both sides? When the whole point is one side is controlled by one faction and the other the other. Like ab has actual ends in the world. Hilariously terrible. Not to mention both sides have worked together every single expansion.
