Remove Temple of Kotmogu

Worst BG in the game by FAR, and single-handedly the reason why blacklisting should have never been removed. I die inside every time it pops in the random BG queue.

Bunch of people all sitting in 1 spot spamming heals and facerolling, such an un-fun waste of time.

Personally I don’t mind it much, I just hate when I get it 5 times in a row, which seems to happen every other night I BG. Just like Gilneas. Annoying.

Edit:
My typical BG night goes something like this…
ToK
BfG
ToK
AB
BfG
ToK
WSG (FINALLY)
ToK
ToK
BfG

I wish I was kidding.

I think one time in I don’t know how long I actually got WSG to pop twice in a row. It was a happy day.

No Seething Shore? :astonished:

Pretty accurate list reason why BL should be back

Some players want a deathmatch-style bg.

Random can be weird.

I’ve lost count of how many bg’s there are but I used 7.

So here is a simulation using a random number generator for 10 nights of 7 bgs per night.

[4, 7, 4, 1, 5, 2, 3]
[5, 7, 2, 7, 6, 7, 4]
[2, 1, 4, 5, 2, 7, 5]
[4, 4, 1, 1, 6, 4, 5]
[4, 4, 3, 2, 6, 1, 6]
[1, 1, 6, 1, 1, 4, 4]
[1, 6, 2, 2, 4, 1, 6]
[6, 3, 4, 4, 7, 5, 4]
[2, 5, 2, 7, 5, 2, 3]
[3, 3, 3, 6, 5, 1, 5]

You can see that it is quite rare to have no duplicates during even a short session. In fact there a few with triplets in there.

I’m not an expert in probability, but i’m pretty sure that it’s more likely to get a duplicate of something than it is to get none.

I think that folks are expecting something like a rotation with dup protection whereas in reality it’s just random.

Hmm. If BL was back (2 bgs) Seething Shore would be permanently on there. Next I’d probably put int ToK. Might swap in occasional BfG on the blacklist if it’s too repetitive.

I agree 100% with you, but I do feel like they’ll be so many that will blacklist Seething Shore they would be forced to take it out. that would mean that Blizzard would have to admit that they was wrong, something that they wouldn’t do .

I’d rather run into ToK multiple times than SS. SS is just terrible. Nobody seems to understand how to do that one. Most people just gather at one node and go ape, while the other team captures all the remaining nodes.

Pigs would fly before that. What a fun bg it is. :roll_eyes:

Yeah, that’s just it. It’s not a new bg but people just refuse to play this properly. I get tired of being solo and swarmed at other nodes that our team seem to ignore.

I’d definitely take ToK over Seething Bore. Man. Gimme my Wsg & Twin Peaks I’d run that shiz all day.

So you dont like the BG that forces the most direct PVP combat?
Shame its actually my favorite.

Only thing I don’t like is when people aren’t picking up orbs on your team.
Like 90% of my losses in that map are because like 3 people on the team picked up the orb

Picking up orbs don’t give you the cool HK’s if you pick up berserker and let loose in the middle :wink:

“gEt iN ThE mIdDLe”

Even though holding 3 and playing the corners is better, make a good ole fashion gauntlet

You get a damage buff when you hold an orb!

Plus, you get really big.

And a debuff too and the target of everyone :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Enemies run towards you, making it really easy/convenient to mow them down…

I only learnt that there was a corner strategy when I joined a rated BG team. I always thought middle was the strategy as I had only played randoms .

Oh yeah it’s one of my favorite bgs if you can get the strat going.
