Feedback: Epic Battlegrounds

[Neirel-stormrage]

You might not care about these changes but I find them great, IoC has had some problems and these where needed. Don’t get me wrong I find class balance more important but I don’t think the same people work on both.

• The Generals will no longer reset their health to full when leashed.

Yes!!! Finally

[Tomten-arygos (Tomten)]

Oh boy just what the game needs, more insignificant changes instead of balance, tuning, and design fixes for classes!

The fix to the exploite where the glaves could kill the Horde boss is not a small thing to me.

Balance, tuning, and design fixes for classes would all be wonderful, as would many other things that are not the subject of this (Epic Battlegrounds feedback) thread.

Check the title of this thread.

Fixing siege damage on bosses isn’t insignificant.

We’re sorry you’ll have to actually try to win now.

[Bynir-dragonblight (Bynir)]

Stupid post.

All good changes and an interesting change to the generals not resetting to full. I understand the rationale but have had many games where the only reason we’ve won is because we’ve wiped the enemy team which meant they had to start fresh.

Will see how it plays out. I still think they should be immune to taunts (a lot of the resets that aren’t intentional I see are pets that then go to attack a player, causing the boss to follow) but we’ll see.

Thanks for the update!

• Repairing a Keep Cannon can no longer be interrupted from damage.

All good changes, but this one made me very happy

[Kennenzie-moon-guard]

• Fixed a bug where the Generals were taking too much damage from the Glaive Thrower’s “Blade Salvo” ability.
• The General’s “Dagger Throw” ability will now be a bit less lethal.
• The Generals will no longer reset their health to full when leashed.
• Repairing a Keep Cannon can no longer be interrupted from damage.
• Glaive Throwers health increased by 30%, and their damage done to players has been increased.

Dear god! These are all WONDERFUL changes!

I do hope we can see more of these in the future, personally, I have to ask Ythisens, if we could see a new feature of locking people out of Siege vehicles in BG’s that attempt to jump in and AFK.

When inside a siege vehicle, no player can target the person who is AFK, and no form of flagging can occur since they are inside the siege vehicle.

This makes me happy

Dude IoC was broken as hell. These are huge and great changes for the enjoyment of a lot of people.

Every IoC game either has someone cheating with a glaive on the general, someone resets the boss, or I get oneshot by a dagger throw for no reason. This is great news.

The rewards are not good enough, the time they take makes myself and friends double take on thinking about joining one.

Just now:
“Overlord Agmar Dagger Throw damaged You 152,080 Physical damage”
“[You died.]”

We look forward to everyone being able to experience the return of Wintergrasp soon, as well as some other Epic Battleground surprises as we progress through Battle for Azeroth.

How will the current Wintergrasp achievements be affected by this? Should people hurry up and get them now, or will progress be rolled over into the battleground?

[Bustacap-tichondrius (Bustacap)]

Not working as of yet. I saw the boss get reset less than two minutes ago.

Edit: a dagger throw just one shot me at 100% hp.
Did the hotfox go through yet?

[Jdpp-zuljin (Jdpp)]

Probably at reset tomorrow.

[Bustacap-tichondrius (Bustacap)]

It just happened again but with demos. I dunno what the hell is going on. Maybe they tried to hotfix it and somehow ruined it even more.

Horde were on the boss for a while and alliance didn’t have glaives. Demos dropped boss in a few seconds and game over

[Funkflex-tichondrius]

Just now:
“Overlord Agmar Dagger Throw damaged You 152,080 Physical damage”
“[You died.]”

It used to hit for 300k lol.
intended I guess

[Lichblood-frostmourne]

Fixed a bug where the Generals were taking too much damage from the Glaive Thrower’s “Blade Salvo” ability.

Not sure if it is just the wording, but that sound like Generals will still take damage and who knows how much damage? Are they tuning how much damage they take?

[Bustacap-tichondrius (Bustacap)]

What does “momentarily” mean? I was in two IOC games lastnight where a glaive killed the horde boss and then the demos did the next game. The demo kill shocked me since I saw them chunk him down in less than 5 seconds.
Did the hotfix get botched? BFA things…

[Jdpp-zuljin (Jdpp)]

My goodness. Calm down. It’s just a game and this has been in the game for several months now. You can wait another day or so until they patch it in. It won’t kill you I promise.

[Inemia-rexxar (Inemia)]

It won’t kill you I promise.

it did though, Daggar Throw literally kills you.
