Feedback: July 20-August 10 Same-Faction Battleground Test

Can’t loot insignias in a same faction bg… also seen something about a mind control bug and also rezing at opposing enemy gy.

Horde stopped queuing av because the alliance premades and getting 0 bonus honor… and horde can now get in other bgs premade free and get more honor and marks faster…

Major bug with Mind control in same faction BGs :slight_smile:

Doesn’t take too long to understand that not having any control of the organization of 2/3 of your raid causes you to hate your common man.

Highly consider reconsidering the existence of premades. Even if that means a bracketed queue.

How’s the immersion feel being afk waiting for long queues though.

This is appearently what the mind control bug is doing.

Mind Control is bugged in same faction BGs. When you die after being MCd, you become an enemy to BOTH TEAMS and you respawn at the ENEMY GY. The other team has no idea, and your team cant tell the difference either and will kill you too.

I’m a ret paladin on Arugal. I raid 2 nights a week, and then fill my week with strat farming, heroic dungeons with friends, and occasional pvp. I played a couple games to see what was inside the boxes. The first one was absolute garbage containing a spirit scroll, and food and water. The second was better having 10g worth of herb mats. Overall for me it’s a nice incentive to pvp over doing some other sort of activity. But the incentive isn’t enough for horde players to switch to alliance IMO.

Great thanks, I can get honor now.

I was usually farming herbs/eng nodes or actually being AFK and doing useful IRL things. Queues do not bother me and never have. It’s worse to have to /afk, wait 15 mins and do that on repeat until you get a real game.

Their “lore reasons” are lazy and terrible and still don’t explain why killing a friend which is dishonorable gives an honorable kill.

No worries you won’t be missed.

What a joke. Cant believe just how far you guys go to make this a 1 faction game. PVP servers are already all mostly horde dominated and you go and make it easier for them?? Ridiculous favoritism. Change everything back and open up 1 way horde-to-alliance transfers.

“only pug stomping allows me to minimize time investment into getting my pvp gear. i cant be bothered playing with randoms and winning SLOWLY.”

This is literally applying a bandaid on a decapitated limb. You have done absolutely NOTHING to address the real issue which is PvP server balance but at this point there is nothing to be done since you left it so late.

A crappy lootbox with 2g worth of items (most of the time) is not going to fix your issues. People will continue to transfer off PvP servers as the balance becomes even worse and if you think its bad now wait until P2-you will have armies of people camping the less represented faction in the SSC and TK entrances. Remember Naxx when people were using summon bots in questionable spots? Well same situation without the summons, just non stop griefing for hours.

But its ok lets just ignore the real issues, offer terrible solutions and call it a day!

wow so i joined alliance when i hit cap for horde in classic for the BG times. and now my bg times are pushed back to 30 mins for AV queue. yeah i get it, its not a 1 hr queue like horde but thats why i rerolled. If you do this to me i will definitely stop playing your game.

I find it confusing to be a Horde player entering a match and being considered an Ally in terms of, for example, enemy towers in EotS still being yellow. Would recommend that various things like coloration remain as they should normally look for you, not according to your role in the game.

Understandable. Lore is the last consideration. Spirit Res doesn’t make too much sense either, just go with it.

Lore immersion only goes as far as you yourself puts into it.

You really have to think about why your Q’s went up? Horde aren’t Qing because your premades but that’s fine we are getting loads more with horde vs horde BG’s :rofl: :joy:

Probably the better solution 2 weeks ago but now I already have all the honor gear farmed on my horde player so no need to transfer but I could transfer an alt for gearing it up… but probably won’t because I need the professions on my alt for my horde main… so faction change I think is to late to have any benefit or incentive for horde to switch at this point… and its pretty obvious same faction bgs are eventually going to happen so most probably wouldn’t even consider faction change and with this whole week of bg farming most horde can finish gearing… they took to long and horde are able to gear just through the testing and be fine lol… also arena has been out long enough most players can atleast buy gloves this week so that’s 1 less piece from bgs needed.

There is an MC bug in all BGs that causes the Mind controlled player to become apart of the other team after being killed or dying while Mind controlled, the player is no longer able to rez with the team he started on and is now forced to play on the opposite team making matches in WSG 11v9 or 9 horde vs. 11 horde. Odd bug or glitch.
