Just saw this thread on Twitter. I don’t post here ever but the first response is so dumb that it made me sign in. Reading comprehension much?
@OP, good job. All sound ideas that I hope get some attention.

In WG, rather than limiting in keep shops from granting 2 vehicles, I’d rather just have the offense permanently control the two farthest shops. That way they would never drop below 8 vehicles, would have a better chance at defending the towers, and make fighting over the two closest shops all the more interesting.

This is a really interesting suggestion and I like it. The justification for removing a few vehicles was that I still strongly believe battleground Wintergrasp currently has too many vehicles in comparison to outdoor Wintergrasp.
Right now defense can have more vehicles on its team than actual players, which to me should not ever happen - your suggestion also combats that so I’m happy to add it in. Thanks!
In WG there needs to be a wallblock or something to stop DH from double jumping into the base and killing the guns in the first 5 minutes of the game and then traveling across all the buildings, out of range of other classes.
It’s an exploit and needs to be stopped.
And yes I’m aware rogues can shadowstep in, but they cant exploit the buildings to travel around the base untouched by other players.

Thank you!
I haven’t actually seen this - are you saying they can hop from on top of the buildings?
Yep, had it happen yesterday. He got into the base, killing the tower guns. i went up after him, he glided on the wall then double jumped up on top of the one central tower, ran across another wall and over to the next tower, unable to be touched by people on the ground.
Me and a rogue just stood there and watched, nothing else we could do.

DHs can get to some interesting places in WG.

Well, I wish Blizz could have put this much thought into the Battlegrounds. BGs are a rather popular content of WoW. They should not be treated like an after-thought like right now. That is, un-maintained and forgotten by the Devs.

I think being able to buy 1 vicious saddle with like 75 Marks of honor would be nice too since people enjoy farming mounts.
FYI:
As patch 9.0.5 is allegedly a ‘systems patch’, this is the best opportunity to look at getting some changes to battlegrounds. I’ve taken what I consider the most pressing issue (definitely Epics) and posted them over into the PTR forum. If anyone is able to go into there to help bump the thread / show support, that’s the way we can get some of these things addressed. The link to the thread is at the bottom of this post.

Love all of this!
Only thing is I don’t agree with Arathi Blizzard being made a regular battleground;
Have it replace Arathi Basin in unranked during the winter entirely, with “blizzard” effect being either random, or just disabled until it comes up as a brawl.
Seasonal skins for battlegrounds is an amazing idea to deal with the aesthetic monotony of being stuck with the same maps for years. Really wish they’d expand on the concept in general.
I was very hopeful the high res upgrades to Warsong and Arathi would then extend to other old battlegrounds (Eye of the Storm rocks and Alterac Valley trees and fences are really starting to show their age…) and also that Winter Arathi would signal similar seasonal triggers (summer AV and a snowy Warsong…) but it looks like those were dreams.
I disagree about replacing normal AB. I think Arathi Blizzard works well as a standalone - different enough to be fresh but familiar enough to be fun.
Time to buff AV NPC’s again … Van and Drek are melting
Yep. The buffs weren’t enough with the hotfix (people still killing +1) but now people are geared they are going in with +2 again.
Please post in the PTR forum, if you can Dosao - https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/please-address-epic-battlegrounds-in-patch-905/864603

I don’t need to say anything else, those two words speak for themselves, especially in rated content.
