Revert battle of nazjatar change

[Astronomer-muradin]

Like, just off the top of my head, teleport anyone near a control point back to their home base when the battle begins.

Sign up for it for a special “flag” and then it starts and the points open up.

This is an absolutely crap change. How do you know When it’s going to happen, how do you plan to do it? If I’m out in Mechagon, do we get an alert for it? I usually give the devs a lot of the benefit of the doubt, but this is just horsecrap. This is a really dumb move.

Nope, do not revert it back. For months now, every battle on my shard has gone down the same exact way. Alliance prepacking the shard with two to five raids, and having those raids camping the control points before the battle even starts. In doing this they trigger the battle, which at that point is unwinnable for the horde. The mechanics have been getting exploited, and I applaud Blizzard for making it more difficult for the Alliance to do so.

This is not how it was happening. If you camped the flags ahead of time it crapped out.

Alliance didn’t camp the flag points ahead of time, that would bug the battle out and give everyone the debuff and end the match for us. Alliance, like you, traveled to the points after the match began. Everytime I did the battle the group leader would kick anyone not in Mez when it was close to time so we wouldn’t get the bugged debuff.

Yeah, this is right.

Well playing on both sides i see much more alliance premades preparing for the battle. There’s like 10 premades of RUIN for the battle. While horde has 1 maybe 2.

Yeah because horde outnumbers Alliance so much in warmode that the only way to win a battle for Naz is to do a premade, if you’re alliance. I hadn’t thought about this, but this change 100% helps the horde in the battles. It’s going to be much harder for people to put together premades for this now.

I still think this happened because one of the devs got rekt by a Ruin group …

Wouldn’t surprise me. I mean it was like this for months, and then i noticed a few threads on here last week with people crying about Ruin. 1 week later the devs pretty much neuter the ability to do a premade for the Battle.

I’m against this random time stuff. Random times reduce participation. I do more PVP now than in other patches and I like taking my alts in. Isn’t that what Blizz wanted? Knowing WHEN the Battle takes places helps me plan my time. Now, I have no way of knowing when it will happen. It’s not like I spend all of my time in Nazjatar.

Go back to the drawing board and better identify the issue and potential solutions. At minimum set up in game alerts to which I can subscribe that reach me regardless of location or character and say “Hey the event begins in 20 minutes.”
