Korrak's Revenge Gutted

Korrak’s hasn’t been fun since the 2019 version imo

That one had “something for everyone”:

• “tourist” types and casuals used it to speed-level alts
• PvP lovers used it for long matches and big numbers on the scoreboard
• TW twinker types could min-max their twink like crazy
• the built-in “scaling” meant you could play it with anyone (friend, family, guildie, etc) with 0 prep - a level 120 could group with his level 35 buddy, queue, and just jump right in

It’s kinda annoying how they randomly nerf most of the fun stuff in this game (and I’m pretty sure no players even asked for said nerfs?). Not really any good reason to play Korrak’s in 2024 since it’s so watered down now

100% this.

Because no one enjoys a BG that never ends?

I did! That was funny back in the day.

Now? It’s a great way to farm the Honor for the weekly quest.

[Loveleigh-moon-guard]

There is really no point to having a version of AV that’s specifically designed to evoke old AV battles and then make it feel nigh identical to current AV.

Last week I was still in my “what buttons do I press again” stage of PvP-shaking-the-rust-off so I didn’t interact much with it, but this week we ended up doing a successful zerg to Drek and my disappointment was immense.

Last week NPCs were incredible dangerous and hard hitting. HP pools and stats were scaled down a bit as well. Now the NPCs are entirely not threatening.

The game mode is now nearly identical to a normal AV, except for no resources and some more easy to kill/bypass mobs who hit like wet noodles.

Perfect. It was a disaster last week.

This change may actually get me to partake in, and actually finish, korraks revenge for the tokens.

People like you who only want to do it for tokens ruined it for people like me who do it for fun.

Oh well. Was nice to see Ice Daddy one last time …

[Kiyoko-ravenholdt]

You can still do it too. Have fun.

[Dawnpaws-stormrage]

Last week’s version wasn’t good either (they gutted this years back), at least with nerfed NPCs matches end faster to complete the weekly.

Greater heal was also spammable i loved making our tank an unkillable god

@Vibecheck-emerald-dream

Greater heal was also spammable

Don’t forget spammable G-Pie

Good times, good times…

With the direction they are going, next year it will be two seperate hallways.

One for ally, one for horde, and we will simply race to the end of the hallway to see who wins. lol

[Aqure-westfall]

Sounds like an improvement - those guards were too hard to kill

[Aqure-westfall]

I left mine and I never usually leave content - endless waste of time. I would have left sooner but I couldn’t remember how to leave.

@Earthetis-illidan

This is PLAYER VS PLAYER game mode, not a “let me one shot orcs” PVE content.

Good morning! You should probably yell at Blizz. They are the ones who nerfed it, I’m just the one enjoy and taking advantage of the nerf. Original AV was a blast… 20 years ago when it was new and there was nothing better to do than PvP on a Friday night and be stuck in the same BG come Sunday morning. Times have changed. So have people. So if they are gonna make something easier, specifically celebration currency, then I am gonna hop in and celebrate it, nerf and all. I’m sorry your nostalgia is getting squished, but it is not my problem.

It would seem like all the flack you received earlier in this post was well warranted.

I’m sure you are a lovely person in real life and are well regarded by your peers and community. You’ve been nothing but pleasant, showing copious amounts of understanding and humility on your part.

Not quite certain coming under attack from strangers simply for agreeing with a decision Blizz made, and taking advantage of the opportunity warranted any of it. But I get it. People need to be mad at SOMEONE. So since Ion, who made the choice, and Chris, who implemented the choice are not here, someone who sides with Blizz is an easy target. At the end of the day, I am sitting in Korrak as we speak mowing down NPCs. Now, granted, the Horde are winning, and have been all day.

Most matches are still lasting nearly 45 minutes from back capping and farming. So the ONLY thing affected in this topic, are those poor, non-elite NPCs. The Elites still heal themselves and hit like trucks, but the trash mobs are easy to solo 8:1 on my Pally. In the end, this thread will fade into the archives, those who hate me will continue to do so, and I will keep posting, replying, and visiting threads. Not sure why people feel the need to show so much hate on the internet, but I hope you all figure out what is truly bothering you, cause it can’t be some 20 year old game.

oh god the stench of sanctimony and stupidity is back

there are literally dozens of us

omg you said the meme

@Dracarian-medivh

This is GREAT news for those of us who dislike PvP

I wish blizz didn’t design PvP things around people who say this.

The term you’re looking for is “toxic casual”.

It helps actually, I know it’s not great to have a dumbed down version of it for reasons, but it also helps in that we can actually win this now instead of having games go on for 2 hours.

I have not won a single AV in the new version for years now. I am not sure what faction you play or what Battle Group, but the old AV was the only chance to ever win for me.

The rush games we always lose, it´s 0 honor after 10 minutes of wasted time.

With the old Korrak I could at least play for an hour and get my 500 honor and finish the quest. Plus, we actually won a couple of these AV.

I will never understand why people who don´t understand nor like something, always want to destroy it for those that do. What a crazy mindset is that?

[Paladina-kargath (Paladina)]

Nobody has time or patience for marathon AV’s, Thrall knows I’ve seen so many people popping off about AV lasting for days “back in the day” recently.

Well it ain’t “back in the day” anymore folks. It’s 2024 we done did all that already.

You wanna spend half a day in AV for lols? Then find like minded folks to do it with, don’t expect regular people to be interested in it anymore.
