Bgs - dead content and insane queues for horde

note this was a level 70 bg

this makes absolutely 0 sense

we won eots and got less honor than the losing team because all the bonus honor comes from flag caps… i waited 30 mins in queue and 20 mins in game for 200 honor

that’s 200 honor for ONE HOUR of game time

tbc sure is sick!

The queue times are a player issue. As for the honour, maybe cap flags?

we capped 4-5 flags it still shouldnt be that low you barely even get bonus honor for winning the match

The bonus honour showing is under 200 for Horde, while Alliance get 445 - which is a lot more, and I assume was the win. I don’t know why the losing team wouldn’t get less honour.

Not saying the boosts are the problem but they didn’t help with this.

Not sure what to tell you then. Clearly something happened that gave them a lot of bonus honour, while not actually giving them a win.

Plus the bonus honour is just that - it’s not the total honour gained.

this is the worst take ive ever read youre missing the entire point

and yes it was the total honor i went from 6.6k to 6.8k honor from 1 match

Reroll Alliance if you want faster queues.

Wouldnt be surprised if somehow the faction with “less overall people” got a boost in honor like Blizzard did with Alliance on retail, and it somehow seeped into BC.

Because they capped more flags. I’ve been farming the horde all day on 1 base capping flags watching you guys get 100 honour while i get 800 LOL

it’s not a bug the same thing happens when horde control the flag

main issue is insane queue times and the amount of hours it takes to even get a single piece

tbc is super depressing so far for players like me that dont find enjoyment in slaying 15 yr old scripts and mashing 1 button in pve

going from getting glad on retail to pvp content literally being dead in tbc is sad

i tell them how it works but that doesnt mean they comply

Idk man the alliance seem to have it down. Immediately we start the BG and people are on board straight away. I was also in a 15 man premade so it definitely helps. but even non premades are doing it now.

Also, yeh idk about your que times but mine are way to fast, like i don’t even have time to go to the bathroom inbetween ques. feelsbad

i qued like… 50 EOTS today, i know alot. But yeh i think we won about 80%. It’s always like that for ques. Even now on ally retail you get quicker bg ques than horde side. EVERYONE and their grandmother went horde for TBC. Shoulda seen it coming i guess.

difference is on retail you have mercenary mode so you can queue as alliance even if you’re horde

but yeh must be nice

Honestly man its the price you pay to play horde i guess. you’re also judging off a small sample size. PLUS, not alot of people have dinged 70 yet. Give it time. This weekend will be crazy Double Exp WSG i think.
