I just want to play AV in the Classic world. It was an essential part of my vanilla experience and pretty much my favorite BG ever. I don’t do PVE end content raids. I only go up to 5 mans in that direction. So some place like AV with lots of people and plenty of different types of chaos going on at once is really fun for me.
Ideally I’d want the version that goes on for a super long stretches of time, but I’ll take what I can get.
1.12+ AV is absolute garbage. It’s basically every modern MMO - tries to satisfy everyone and in return satisfies no one instead. The people who are only there for gear won’t use it for honor(because it’s trash for honor) and the people who want epic long BG’s won’t be happy and won’t play it because it’s just 15 minute boring rushes.
Using 1.12 AV shows how out of touch Blizzard is with all their games in the past 15 years and why they have ruined every single game in the past 15 years and do not make good games anymore.
No, bonus honor weekends are trash. I should be able to play whatever I want whenever I want. Keep your mobile-korean trash game design as far away from my 2004 game as possible.
Not to mention the cross-realm BGs which brought nothing but issues while siphoning away fun.
Being entirely clueless about their own products and playerbase is Blizzard’s forte nowadays.
i always thought they should just totally rip off planetside and make it a territory battle.
if you take a node(kill the commander and hold it for 5 min) it becomes your teams node, restock it then guards will spawn, that moves the spawn point up.
have more than a single path victory
some nodes give a bonus, decrease spawn time, increase damage 5%…
Personally I would love a version Korak the Bloodrager and players dropping items like Dwarf Spines, Orc Teeth, or Human Bone Chips.
Will we get it though? no, Blizzard is adamant on not doing this. The only reason I am not all up in arms over it, is that they are technically correct by using the 1.12 version given that is the patch classic wow is in. I respect when someone is technically correct.
Only wish we could do AV (as well as all other BGs) in single realm mode for a phase or two to get closer to the true vanilla feel of pvp. But it’s not a biggie.
