We need Same Faction Bgs

Horde queue time is absurd, even though it is the minority faction in the SoD.
Same faction BG will fix the queue times and make everyone happy with reasonable queue time.

This should also help fix the issue where premades can’t find other premades, having the ability to fight against same faction will help them matchmake easily.

However, Alliance queue times are very fast. Why would we want to make them longer. We currently have the choice to select between 1 min queue times on Alliance, and what? 10 min. queue times on Horde?

There is also a 100% experience buff, and a level cap of 40, so…

Of course at some point they probably will do Horde vs. Horde BGs like they did in what? Was it TBC Classic, and not at all during WoW Classic?

Why would it make longer? same faction BG would speed up queue for both sides. How would it make it worse?

Nah. Better make same faction options so the crybabies gotta grow up.

Well the cat is out of the bag with so many changes made. Same Faction BG is the less harmful thing to add to the game at this point :slight_smile:

Yep, they just grow up into more shamans. And if you even get your HvH, you better play one yourself or you will have someone to wish you do the same when you start complaining.

Why does everyone say Horde q times are insane? I have yet to be in a queue longer than 5 mins on my Horde toons other than not max level brackets.

On my Alliance toon I always wait 10mins.

We have wargames.

Paladin was the most played class throughout phase 1.
Every bg had like 5 paladins or so.

You cant complain. Just time to grow up.

I am not sure how it was impactful when premades were stomping afk pugs.

You have a world of solo q now.

A bold statement about EVERY BG having 5+ pallys. Stop embarassing yourself.

You do know all pvp horde servers have been locked lately? Horde is the majority Hence longer queue.

Thats just BS crap from the devs.
Alliance is the largets recorded active faction in Ironforge Pro.
You gotta be a lot disingenuous to say otherwise.

Your saying dont trust the info the devs have trust a third party website who only gets data from self submitting users. You see how laughable that is?

So now solo q players don’t have premades to lose to and complain about

Now their excuse is “because of X class”

This is why you shouldn’t be catered to. Everyone else is playing the game and not crying

F tier players need to stop moving the goal posts. Nothing they do will help you not be bad

Because they don’t reveal how they are accounting the information they publish.
Because even the alliance on Living Flame laughs at anyone that says both factions are equal or that even horde has more players.

If you’re saying that, you’re a laughing stock.

Back in 2010-2011 Cataclysm, we raised concerns about the long Horde queue times (15+ min) and how we wanted same-faction BGs. We were told to sit down and shut up, because they didn’t want to ruin the immersion/lore in the name of gameplay.

For a 20 year old game, gameplay should be the priority over faction lore. Same-faction or even mixed-faction BGs for instant queues and 50% win rate would be the logical change. People just want to play the damn game at this point.

Man seriously where is the alternate color scheme fight route? I used to love orc on orc action back in the RTS, I mean I still love orc on orc action but I used to too.

Probably not gonna happen because of shamans and paladins.

Why opt to play “a 20 year old game” then complain that it’s using 20 year old sensibilities.

Like, yeah that’s precisely the point!
