Feedback: Epic Battlegrounds

The only slight lopsidedness of IoC is that the airship can bomb the hangar flag. However even with Hangar, the alliance usually still needs to be good at killing vehicles and keeping the quarry and refinery. Horde can counter the hangar by taking hangar themselves. OR they can keep quarry and refinery, and drive & guard their vehicles well, defend their boss if needed and ninja-kill the alliance boss. All of which I’ve seen done, lol. Hangar by itself does not win for alliance.

Mr. dev person,

Can we please just have Southshore vs Tarren Mill back?? Just rehash/recycle it as an epic bg and call it a day… is that so much to ask?

There was some other forum thread that reminded me about it last night, and I’ve been thinking about it again

There might be a lot of other problems with BFA, but as long as we get Southshore vs Tarren Mill back I think that can hold me over for a while

Why do the Wintergrasp guard NPC’s daze? Is that really necessary in a PVP venue?

Laeth-hakkar · May 6, 2019, 9:31am

The NPCs in Alterac do the same, it’s always been that way. Stupid rams…

Alliance rushed hangar today at the start and lost the fight. They also lost mid and docks fights. At end of the game horde killed 120 alliiance, only 19 horde died. Here is your feedback.

Bynir-dragonblight · May 6, 2019, 8:43pm

Great feedback. How would you like the development team to address bad teams?

Afks-dunemaul · May 6, 2019, 8:54pm

Throw them from the train.

Jarawana-emerald-dream · May 6, 2019, 9:46pm

I think I was in that game. Did the match end with our gate still 100%? Not gloating just curious. It’s fun being in bg’s with form people.

Afks-dunemaul · May 7, 2019, 4:39am

Ya, the gate was 100%. The instance chat was fun to read.

Jarawana-emerald-dream · May 7, 2019, 4:46am

I’m not sure what was going on but I can imagine.

Isle of Conquest

This is the worst BG since the inception of Wow battle grounds.

Inemia-rexxar · May 8, 2019, 2:46pm

something needs to be done about server lag in full 40v40 clashes. the second you get that many people all attacking each other its common to get moments of extreme lag followed by extremely fast catch-up of everything that just happened.

one potential culprit i’ve seen is the DK spell epidemic, with bg week i’ve been noticing a correlation between lag and DKs running this spell. perhaps it could be disabled or limited in ebgs.

Afks-dunemaul · May 9, 2019, 5:35pm

The siege vehicles have no survivability in wg. The tower cannons are too powerful and have too much range. They shouldnt be able to shoot into sr from the keep, cmon. The cats die from 2 druid dots. Here is some feedback.

Jaiyko-kelthuzad · May 15, 2019, 7:06pm

It would be cool if they made south shore vs Tauren mill and it was based off kills. Maybe first team to 200 kills. Iv been wanting to see a pure brawl battleground forever now.

Gdtroll-illidan · May 15, 2019, 7:15pm

Ya, agreed

So far we don’t have a pure “death match” format bg in the epic bg roster/line-up

We currently have…

2 “vehicle siege” bgs in IOC and WG
1 “kill the enemy boss” bg in AV

Southshore vs Tarren Mill fits the bill perfectly for a basic “death match” bg, and due to it’s sheer simplicity I think most casuals would welcome it compared to Wintergrasp. It’s just a really fun bg

Jarawana-emerald-dream · May 15, 2019, 7:19pm

The “demo won’t shoot” bug seems to be caused if you’re in a vehicle and firing it when it is destroyed.

What I do now is I just stop shooting and abandon the vehicle before it blows up, I haven’t seen that bug since. And it used to strike me all the time.

Chraist-queldorei · May 17, 2019, 9:34pm

since the airship in IOC can reach the quarry when horde control it, alliance should be able to hit oil refinery when hangar belongs to them?

Bynir-dragonblight · May 17, 2019, 9:43pm

Alliance gunship can hit hangar, the Horde’s cannot.

Deathmonger-lightnings-blade · May 19, 2019, 6:20pm

I have a suggestion: Just ONCE, give out the last year’s win rates, ala wow-stats so w can see what’s going on. That way we can provide more informed feedback.
It’s not like the Alliance losing is a secret…

Gdtroll-illidan · May 19, 2019, 9:29pm

Yeah I don’t really see the harm either

Set the data filter for “level 120 bgs only”, and release some basic win / loss data to the general public. I doubt we would be surprised by any such data (after all, we’re constantly “comparing notes” on this forum).

Like you said, it’s really no “secret” that Ally loses more than Horde
