I had a pally tank sarcastically whisper me that I had good healing 'cause he died quickly to one of those elite horde npc abominations.
Horde didn’t even push with their boss and still won. I am just learning and it’s been a very un fun experience to say the least. My sympathies for my alliance lol
This event is bringing out non-PVP alliance players. And Horde players do tend to have better raid gear. My win ratios in normal Bags seem to be about 55% horde wins lately.
You might want to refer back to the screenshots showing Horde NPCs having double the HP of Alliance ones. When people win, they want to attribute it to their skill, even when they have an advantage.
They said health of Alliance NPCs has been boosted but they should have given the Alliance the same artificial advantage the horde had for the same amount of time.
i’ve been running this since day 1, and i’ve never seen any group go for galv… so that seems unlikely.
as far as i know, it could just be a display error caused by the scaling.
beyond that, if it was “broken”, it would have been fixed by now.
just so we’re clear here, i main alliance.
alliance have been playing in a less than optimal manner.
watch how far away from the objectives they are when grouped up and fighting.
take note of how many can’t resist hitting that cute little sheep/frog/purple spiky thing.
Gonna jump in here and say that I’ve been leveling a Night Elf hunter from 95 to 120, and have only won one KR. Just one. It’s unreal just how much the Horde wins, and honestly, is the reason I will never ever play PvP.
I leveled my Horde Paladin from 100 to 120 in Korrak’s Revenge without losing a single battle. Horde won every queue that I joined. Alliance looked confused, flustered, unaware of what Alterac Valley is all about. Really strange considering they used to win Alterac Valley all the time in Classic and TBC.
Well my impressions are most of the old alliance players unsubbed or faction swapped, I find far more new players in alliance these days who find various bgs and systems to be pretty new. Speaking from only my experience though.
