On Twinking: Addressing Misconceptions

PVP Battlegrounds

Exactly why we need a current study, that spotlights all of the current changes that have been made.
Lots more happening right now on the PTR.
All in the name of balancing the lower brackets.

Naw, we’re good. If you’re given years of data, you can pick from all the time stamps you want. Ever used Microsoft Access? Besides, the one you suggested is bias. It’s a shame that wouldn’t hold water, right?

OK, you got me, I’m not actually a Troll Shaman, I’m an old man in New York typing on a computer.

The Shaman is my alt. :laughing:

You are alright man. :smile:
I would recommend doing some research on the massive reworking that BFA has had on every item within WoW.
The old days of gear disparity are a thing of the past, I promise.

Greek Community Q&A with Ion Hazzikostas

“BFA made a one time rework of every creature, item, and ability in the game from 2004-2018, converting them to a system which allows allows us to just say “we can nerf these by 30%” under the hood, change one number and the rest of the game will just work.”

Just as the template system used in legion allowed devs to adjust numbers easily - but did they…no. Which is why legion surv hunters destroyed the 19 and 29 bracket. You should know by now that the devs are always slow about things they CAN do - but rest assured they will implement more items in the cash shop :disappointed:

There has been excellent attention to the lower brackets within BFA.
PTR is showing a solid focus on balancing and readjusting items which solely effect the lower brackets.
Things are looking better every patch.

The aim is clearly focused on balancing so we can all enjoy playing together. :smiley:

If only they would put more effort into balancing classes and specs as well as busted items.

Might want to check again. Cuz last I checked my btag list and most of my guilds are damn near empty. As a whole BFA is meh - and ppl are going elsewhere for their gaming needs.

Ah I see! man you missed some good ones last night. Horde was on fire last night in the 80’s bracket. We went 12/1. It was awesome!
We had 1 bad run in EoTS where we went a premade alliance team and i knew we were doomed because I know them, they are friends of mine and i run with them when I do alliance lol.
No hard feelings of course, it’s just a game!
Hope you get in this weekend, aside from the 120 bracket, BG’s have been really fun this week.

I am sorry you are not enjoying yourself in BFA.
Just this past week I had the chance to partake in two 30min+ AV in which Ivus and the Ice Lord were summoned for battle!
The fun never stops! and it is awesome! 1-120! IMO

559

there is no AV until you get to 110 or so. it never pops.

I did have AV pop once on my 39 twink, ended up afking out since it was going on 45 mins with us and the opposing faction see-sawing back and forth with no end in sight.

561

Damn you afk’d from an epic 45 minute AV@39, wow.

Oh God, Greyhide, there he goes again quoting Ion.

Too bad they don’t actually DO any of the things they boast about, just add a new shiny mount to the cash store.

I was about to look for crackers… :frowning:

Too many cool mounts to farm versus buying one. Better sense of satisfaction. But yes, it’s too bad. Ion hasn’t been very credible. Quoting him is just silly. To do so at this point is nothing more than monkeyshines.

I never liked Ghostcrawler, the stunts he pulled on the forums with the whole Zanzul stuff over CRZ was very unprofessional, but at least the guy knew how to design a good game.

MoP was fantastic.
I hated that they made those awesome scenarios and then took them away.

The gearing system was great, heck even WoD had a good gearing system for PVP, but this hot mess we’ve had since RNG and personal loot was added has really taken a chunk of fun out of the game.

And BFA is just a pile of hot garbage, and is partly why I refuse to do anything but PVP because it’s the last little niche that is actually fun most of the time.
And now part of the thing that made PVP really fun, has been neutered with no vendors to reward hard earned honor kills.
The one 120 victory we got tonight so far, was rewarded with… more fish in the box, and a useless Ilvl330 cloak that isn’t nearly as good as CRAFTED Ilvl 340 stuff =/

So yeah, not a fan of Ion’s at all.
