If you listen to the handful of alliance complaining about HvH, according to them they lose 90% of all bgs and get farmed non-stop in world pvp on completely imbalanced servers.

It must be amusing to actually have the data and see people making up all kinds of nonsense like that on this forum.

I hope this fix is released permanently. The weekend of the trial was the first time in a long time that PVP was enjoyable for a horde player.

The queues without this change are unbearable and make it almost unachievable to obtain your PVP gear without a ridiculous time commitment due to the hour queues.

Thanks,

If they removed premades and kept HvH the PvP community would be lively again. The game would be amazing

The real question is how are we going to get AV in on this?

LOL WHAT!

Nah mate get out of here, on ocean servers the BG’s dont pop until the alliance are sweaty and ready in their full discord groups. They sign up as group with 15 players at once and it literally pops up instantly.

Meanwhile on the red team: 90 minutes after signup - “The battle for Arathi basin is ready”

The alliance has 4 healers that split up perfectly, theres 3 warriors that stick on the same targets ALL the time. and rogues working together perfectly to sap cap the points that have least defenders.

You’ll probably aaaaaaaaargue that horde can do the same thing, and you’d be right if we also had instant queues. Please tell me how simple it would be to get 15 people to stick together in a queue for 90 minutes vs 1 minute for a potential of a 5 minute game.

Neat. More details about the initial findings would be cool, but neat.

I hope this is permanent soon. We’re really honor starved on horde side and can’t wait forever for more alliance to come out to play.

Their lives will be better because if horde is in BGs killing itself then it’s not out in the world killing alliance. But you go ahead and unsub if you want.

My dude… You realise everyone will be geared eventually right? Classic is a finite product. it’s not endless. What happens then? You’re as short sighted as Blizzard is.

There’s nothing short sighted about it. There will ALWAYS be new people or characters that need gear. It’s not just 1 crowd that’ll gear up then never queue again.

That seems like a very good idea then we will see what people pick when it’s all just for looks.
It would have maybe gone back to alliance but since horde have blood elf now it may be even.
I just really like my character stand up straight.

Also I rarely ever see trolls in battle grounds.

The “data” points are blatant lies and a pathetic attempt at trying to convince Alliance “hey…see, this is good for you too!!! lol.”

Actually try and address the faction imbalance. Learn from your past MANY mistakes, and try not to go down the same path.

Source of this claim?

Go to any meeting stone or raid entrance. They are teeming with horde to the point that alliance avoids using the stones altogether, or all stay on flying mounts until the raid is ready to go. HvH BGs is not going to suddenly fix the mass murder of alliance that goes on in these specific areas where a lot of griefing is caused.

Yeah because nobody is going to take their fully geared mains out into the world. My bad :roll_eyes:

I’ve been to plenty on my own realm to see its majority Alliance, but it is also a PVE realm. Which Alliance can still queue for bgs from.
