Testing Same-Faction Battlegrounds in Burning Crusade Classic

This would be a nice QoL improvement. Hope the testing works out well.

Hopefully every alliance player whos against this is also playing WoW with 30 fps on a PC made in 2001 with Windows XP installed

“just deal with it.”

lmao yeah I’ll get right on it trying to convince the myriad of players that rolled Alliance to stay their faction, despite them only playing Ally for the shorter BG queues. Good take, bro.

Why not open up faction transfers and/or make ally racials better? This is treating the symptoms not the disease.

great decision 1hr30 min queue for a bg is insane

bro, im tired of people saying this ish. I did NOT roll horde knowing i would have longer queues, I rolled horde because I rolled horde when vanilla came out. Simple as that. You think everyone is min maxing their race choice??? Not every horde knew their queue times would be longer. They just didn’t want to be next to gnomes and night elves all day.

At least blizzard isn’t just saying “reroll alliance”. Time to go buy a year subscription to play out the rest of the Burning Crusade!!!

Yay, you make a girl’s heart smile, Kaivix!

What an absolutely horrible idea.

You’re tired of people saying it because the majority of Horde players DID know. Sorry that you don’t want to hear the truth, dog.

Don’t you understand how this is different from telling someone to reroll Alliance before? This is a change, whereas before it was just the nature of the beast and something one should expect when they choose a faction-imbalanced TBC server.

Because that entails them doing something for Alliance and upsetting Horde players which can’t be done.

The population is already heavily skewed in terms of PvP. The only reason we have more players is casual PvE-only players - and as you said, even that is going to end.

Blizzard had the opportunity to fix two problems but opted to fixing one in a awful way.

Why am I not surprised.

Who TF is seriously calling the shots on this stuff?

Niche points? Rogues, rogues, rogues.

Every comp in every ladder that is R1 will have a rogue in it. Perception negs any horde team of the same comp eliciting an unfair advantage. We’re playing TBC, complaining that horde are better is grossly misguided.
