Update on the Battle for Ashenvale and Layers - 12/14/2023

Appreciate those kind of posts that helps us better understand the situation. So thanks for that

Nice deflection. Glad someone who still clicks their spell and hasn’t actually done WSG rep or PVP ranking on the old system to know that any changes to make WSG rep easier affects NO one negatively at all, no one worth having in their community anyways.

Well then stop crying about the bracers that you don’t get for free. Go earn them. Lazy.

You still have to get 21k rep from revered to exalted, and you aren’t gonna get that for free at all, but you clearly dont know how WSG rep works. You’re also missing the entire point that they shoehorned an entire phase into trying to make more incentives to do the worst PVP grind for factions, and they not only failed, but are making NO adjustments for those who know Blizz ISN’T addressing actual faction imbalance.

You’re not actually a contributor to anything other than taking up space

Will the reputation gains be increased in accordance with the increased time between games?

Alliance player talking on a horde alt from a retail toon. Easy shilling

And you’re a kid crying that they aren’t giving you exalted for free. Go earn it if you want it. Don’t cry about it.

Question: how much crying do you think it would take for them to change it and give it to you for free?

One issue is that with ranks capped at 3, there isn’t much incentive to PvP against players if honor has no value. Either the honor system needs to be reworked or players should drop gold, supplies, or provide some reason to bother fighting them.

You literally just don’t read. You don’t play. You clearly aren’t a part of this. Just bored and unemployed.

All people want is for the event that’s SUPPOSED to be a focal point of the current tier that will exist for TWO more months to be worth doing. Especially for alts. Nothing in this post addresses that. Blizz copied AV, almost to a T, and then managed to forget about why people do it.

You still PVP, you still have to play, and it still takes A LOT of time, and you’re just as punished if you don’t actually work with your bros.

tl;dr, good on you for not actually showing your SoD character so I can corpse camp it when you aren’t queue’ing WSG and losing

For layer retiring, it seems like you were taking a hard retire route, where you shut down the layer now and then have the layer manager redistribute everyone, resulting in the jarring layer changes. You could also “soft retire” a layer, where you have the layer manager not put anyone on the layer any time it’s queried (so a party lead on a soft-retired layer inviting someone to party would result in the party lead going to that other players layer instead), with certain re-layering areas (like towns and cities) where changing layers is much less problematic allowing for players being pushed off a soft-retired layer. This way you can still move the population onto a smaller number of layers off peak time, while having capacity available during peak. Personally I’d also have a population threshold under which anyone on the layer gets pushed off immediately, to minimize long tail effects.

For the Battle for Ashenvale problem, it seems like you could have all of your layers share a single pool for total required kills that’s determined by active layer count, and doesn’t change depending on layer status (in battle or not). Then have it so the trigger to start the BFA checks if all layers are out of battle, and if not waits a few minutes. This would solve both the jagged progress counters and BFA trigger loop.

I ain’t reading all that bruh.

Can someone reply me with a TLDR

We tried to make AV 2.0 and we forgot to actually make it an instance, and now we’re gonna kill it off until we figure out how to make an instance portal

Not sure the trade off of dead layers is worth the Ashenvale inconvenience. I understand like the botting issue is probably “hard”, but these problems need to be solved not ignored.

Bro I sat afk in Ashenvale all day last saturday and got to honored. I know you don’t have to work for it. Who are you trying to convince? Wah wah you don’t get your free stuff. You call yourself an OG pvper and you aren’t even willing to do BGs for rep…

Alliance privilege.

No one’s saying I won’t BG for PVP rep. I’m saying if there’s something else to do besides spam WSG, it should be actually worth doing.

This “free stuff” argument you boomers conjure up transcends the game, but for now, just keeping it in here, you’re geriatric.

It’s not like this dev isn’t a ret paladin currently reaping all the benefits of being the better faction this time around in WSG in his spare time

No alliance privilege. Not even sure what that is supposed to mean. I just have the privilege of working for things instead of demanding they be handed to me is all.

Then if you have no perspective and just recycle the same sentence for 8 comments, kindly get lost.
