Game Breaking Bug in Battleground Blitz (PLEASE READ AND BUMP)

I’ve encountered sort of a strange bug that honestly does break the game and ruin the experience of blitz, and wanted to know if anyone else experienced this as well. I took a video but i guess you can’t attach things onto forums here, so just take my word for it i guess, but anyway

During the blitz game i did notice that my character on the scoreboard was for some reason highlighted in red ? Listed as an undead death knight… which is weird cause i’m alliance human. incidentally enough this has cost me many many wins because when alliance wins the game i am given a “defeat message” with no rewards as if i were ACTUALLY horde. Does anyone know how to fix this or has anyone else even seen this?

You can put links between two ` ` (the key to the left of 1; the tilde key without shift).

e.g.

I would be interested in seeing the video, if you can provide a link.
You should submit a bug report: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/c/support/bug-report/

Bug report in the forums, just what ya posted here. Also, do the link thingy for the video as some have suggested. If this is a bug, it’s a pretty bad one.

You may want to do a full UI reset:

did you transfer factions by chance?

Thanks man i’ll get right on that after work to update anyone who’s interested in seeing!

I didn’t merc or transfer factions, no, but tbh it’s got me curious what would happen if i did.

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding what happened here, but queuing blitz will put you on the opposite team sometimes. If more players are qued up as Alliance, it will put some Allies on the Horde team, for example. Are you sure you were placed on the Alliance side? If so, that is strange. On most maps, it is pretty obvious which side you’re on, based on where you start. But as someone who is often confused, maps like the Temple of Kotmogu might not be as obvious without checking the rosters.

If that were the case, why would i be labeled as “undead death knight” ? i suppose i could just be misreading things but i am leaning more towards the side of it being a bug, there have been games where im not even on the scorecard at all

I think you’re right, that it doesn’t race change you if it puts you on the opposite team. But I’m not 100% sure. Perhaps you stepped on one of those race change toys that players often put down on the ground, except I don’t think they’re usable in blitz.

you’re correct. in blitz you can be on the other faction and you keep your toons race unlike mercing where you might get turned into something horrible like a blue space goat.

I’ve been switched from vulpera to mechagnome before in blitz, but usually I just stay the same race

Ah the classic blizzard polish.

Winning and then somehow losing cause the game thinks your on the wrong team.
