This isn’t a call for change, just my two cents on the situation in av for normal, everyday alliance players who are just there to get rep or a win.
I want to formally apologize to you for what the horde has put you through for so many months, it is a huge injustice. It is the fault of these elitist, min/max’er alliance players who have made the game so competitive in other bg’s that the horde has to supplement their honor gains from av and not only that, we need to maximize it to the fullest, which results in these poor alliance players who have no hand in the current state of bg’s to get absolutely demoralized. We don’t even let them cap towers or kills lt’s if we can help it. A lot of them are in green gear or aren’t even level 60 yet. I don’t feel good about what ive had to do in order to reach my rank so far but atleast I did it solo the entire way.
Alliance I feel for you, its not right that you have to put up with honor hungry horde in good gear who just want to annihilate you. Most of us get farmed by alliance premades who are only looking to fight pugs for easy honor so we are in a similar situation, but we are hardened and used to it, and we don’t have a choice.
You are an Orc Warrior in PVP in Classic. Yes you are a face rolling bully. It is a dice roll when I play my mage whether I can beat you 1v1. And I don’t have to worry about your racial.
I never leveled my 59 hunter to 60 because of warriors. What is the point?
I have been playing my rogue often recently and he is now better geared than my mage. Orc warriors are insanely difficult but I am trying to learn effective kite and bleed tactics. Needless to say, overpower is the most apt named ability in the game. But the orc racial makes me almost feel stupid for playing Classic at all. I remind myself that Blizzard developers flunked math and made a lot of mistakes in Classic. But I stay in Classic because flunkies are flunkies and after nearly 10 xpacs they still can’t fathom balance (or blatantly refuse to)
Our faction doesn’t have it any better in Arsthi or Warsong, almost every time I have joined Arathi and Warsong it has been against a complete horde premed team and most often they are rank 10 or higher so they do have a decent degree of coordination making the pug stomp very easy for the horde teams to win without actually trying. You are the one taking refuge, in Alterac because you cannot compete. Alterac is a rigged map, if you fail to win as horde it’s your fault 100%, if you fail to win in alterac then you’re just bad, and you are not a bully, you are just taking advantage of a sure fire easy win because it’s easy and you don’t have to actually be any good to win and progress as a solo player in the pvp system.
I actually get it now as to why we are having such a hard time in my FAVORITE BG OF ALL TIME EVER EVER…
I’m an AV enthusiast. It’s a gear score imbalance!! now it makes sense!
Alright though, don’t feel bad. Alliance needs to ‘man up’ and learn to play as a team. I usually school 2 or 3 horde at a time but now I see why they seemed so shocked that I didn’t get one shot.
Again, don’t feel bad that we don’t take any towers. The alliance have completely given up on playing the game to win or even get honor. All they do any more is cluster at Stonehearth and hope to get some REP!
imo the AV games are becoming more healthy as time progresses… people don’t play any more ‘because they have to’ we’re seeing a core emerge of people who just love to do AV. I think this will evolve and become the great BG it was meant to be. (thanks for that explanation though friend see ya in the frost covered mountains of Alterac! *btw I fought you in an AV this past evening I respect you)
AV is Alliance favored to win. early on the streamers forced (on penalty of being muted for 1 day… then 2 days then 4 days then 8 days then 16… you get the point) to comply with their STUPID 7 min win or /delete character mentality and destroyed AV for Alliance. ever since we have been unable to recover the basics of how AV even works let alone get past mid point. Long story short AV of skilled geared players on both sides should nearly always end in Alliance victory. AV strongly favors Alliance if they understand choke points and the point of ‘rushing south’ from the very start. Horde got good at ‘obstructing’ the zerg and THAT is why Alliance never wins in AV.
uhh caps are still 750k with no wpvp and I am better than 90% of the people on this game cuz I destroy in every pug and I destroy against premades when the odds are even. pve servers are just better for making gold and avoiding toxicity. wpvp is nothing but a massive grief fest anyway
You are playing an orc warrior, you could not have picked an easier setup. You’re playing the strongest class by a massive margin and the strongest race by a mild margin.
ROFL I remember fighting Bruttalis. He pissed me off. I’m pretty sure he killed me first in a 4 v 1. I know for a fact I got 2 of the 4 back later but not sure if I ever got Mr bad boy.
:'D
I am glad to see this guy in the posts. (druids understand how to get a long with Taurens… and I’m not intimidated at all by a tier 14 warrior in a 1 v 1 fight) I can hold my own
It wasn’t particularly relevant to this thread. Just a conglomerate of information I’ve collected snooping the last ten minutes. Not trying to be wasteful with posts.
see that’s why we consider your faction a joke. you think stomping pugs with full premades of your own along with comms and consumes makes you good at the game, all the while you get destroyed when you fight a horde premade and say “let them win” after you get wrecked in the first few skirmishes. could you be anymore pathetic
see, thats why I consider you personally a joke. You complain about how 90% of your games are against premades, well so were mine, and frankly horde teams were good, if not better, you had Zecius, Zetox, Omnivore, Bruce, Savix, ect, your cognitive distance is astounding.
First of all, the good ally premades dont do that, go play Yesmaster, 2ndly instaqueues rip
see ya in the frost covered mountains of Alterac! *btw I fought you in an AV this past evening I respect you)
