Please put Deepwind, back the way it was before or gives us Black list so I can block it!
So, you don’t like it the way it is, so you don’t want anyone else to have it either but you don’t Want it anyway?
All the MoP battlegrounds are terrible, I’d blacklist them all if I could and have 100% more fun.
I love where they put the grave Yards. If ever there was a dev that needed to be fired. That and the clown who thought 120s in low level bgs was a good idea.
Pretty sure OP means “if the devs are incapable of returning it to how it was before (back when it didn’t suck) give us back the blacklist feature”.
I actually made a thread not long ago tittled “Can we get the old deepwind gorge back?”
There was mixed opinions for sure but a lot of people don’t like the new version. However, there was definite distaste for dealing with DH and druid cart carriers from the old version.
My biggest complaint is how awful the layout of the map is. Too big overall, too much blocking terrain vision, awkward GY spawn points. In a PuG it’s often complete choas with no one knowing where to go except that controlling mid is somewhat good.
Compared to the new Deepwind, AB is a masterpiece. I love getting AB. I hate getting Deepwind. It’s just a really bad AB imo. The old version was at least different and interesting if not balanced well for cart duty.
Hold 3 flags, leave 3 guards per flag. That leaves a Mobile team of 6 to react to INC calls.
Problem is most PUGs don’t like to sit flags.
Another problem is due to the terrain you can’t see incoming until it is almost up your @ss. And yet another problem is that the location of GYs is too close to some bases.
Agreed. Not even sure why they changed it? It was one of the coolest bgs. I loved that there were 2 things going on at once with bases vs carts. I have seen many an impressive victory with cart teams beating lack of bases.
The new one is arathi 2.0. Like what is even the difference? We did not need another 2.0.
Then again I loved Strand of the Ancients as well so maybe I am just wierd.
u wot?
Kotmogu is beyond amazing. Easily one of the best bgs. It can be frustrating when no one wants to pick up orbs, but meh. Easily one of my top three, anyway.
Deepwind wasn’t great, but its way better than it was at least. The map is gorgeous, if nothing else.
Silvershard is admittedly hit or miss.
Seething Shore and Ashran on the other hand, well… Remember what Gul’dan did to Varian? Yeah. That. In fact the expression on my face would be exactly the same as Gul’dan.
Good thing you like the map since it blocks your view about 80% of the time.
Only thing I don’t like is that the camera view is blocked many times at the bases . It’s just super annoying .
I’ve sat pretty much every base in rated dwg and never had problems calling inc. Two of the bases are small for sure but you can still see.
New Dwg is terrible. Older one was much more interesting with various strategies.
not to mention that the problems with blocked view happens to the enemy team too.
Actually I think they should keep the old version and put in the new version as a different one.
The mine cart one is the absolute worst.
/sarcasm ensues.
Bring back Burst of Speed for Rogues
Bring back no CD on feint for a perma-sheild wall
Don’t nerf DH, DK, Rogues for this expansion
Leave Chaos bolt alone! D:
Now on a more serious note. I actually like this BG. What did they do to it?
Another reason I hate the new deepwind is my individual contribution is less impactful. You always want a good team but you can really feel it when you have a bad one in this BG. I felt like I could accomplish more in the other Deepwind and simply get around the map easier.
New Deepwind Gorge is just an inferior Arathi Basin in every way possible… All the points barring market are just virtually the same. There’s no personality that really differentiates the points. The travel times between points are also way too long. It’s just ugh - I do not like it!
