On a 37/63 pvp server why even bother being alliance. My server was balanced at 47/53 horde favored but then you open transfers at the start of TBC and destroyed the balance. Now Alliance can’t use summoning stones, named quest mob can’t do until extremely late night, escort completely out of the question, farming nods are extremely competitive and if horde see you near one it’s KoS, ring of blood HA! gl getting a guild out there to help do the quest since horde love to troll that spot.
This isn’t even a dig at the new queue system, which I don’t support due to deepening the issues with horde and alliance balance issues. It’s just what’s the point to being Ally when you’re punished for it by your inability to do anything in game that isn’t instanced. People complained about 1 hour long queue, which suck I know because I had them in Vanilla retail since alliance was the faction of choice in 2005. I understand the change but it’s unprecedented in the era of wow Classic is emulating.
Blizzard you need to focus on population and server balance issues seriously. If you felt the need to make such a large change to the classic instanced-pvp experience then you need to address the issues Alliance face in the open world. Blizzard asked for feedback and I’m giving it, I don’t want the queue changes to be undone I’m not campaigning for that, my issue is what blizzard is going to do going forward to retain Alliance players as they become less attractive to players due to the increase in difficulty to play the game openly on PvP realms.
There is no solution to Alliance problems coming any time soon. I went Horde.
Sadly I don’t think Blizzard will address this, I think transferring to a Normal server or rerolling Horde is likely the best option for most.
Pvp server???
Yesterday there was a raid of 40 alliance outside Kara for over an hour. Amazing, we managed to get in because we all gasp walked there without a stone and zoned into an instance with a gate.
I think you can figure this one out on your own hopefully
Ah yes, horde’s time on the game is more important than alliances’ time on the game.
No I think it’s just that when horde can’t use a stone we don’t make a forum post about it. We just die until our timer hits 2 minutes to res and still make it into an instance with people trying to camp because it’s really not that hard
My point was if they’re camping… don’t try and use the stone. Just get in the instance. It’s not impossible because you can get closer to the instance with every death. Also, pvp server
Why are you playing a pvp server when all of the meaningful pvp content is instanced? Do they give out Gladiator rank if you kill 100 lowbies in nagrand now?
You know it’s bad when Alliance players are actually being asked this question.
Wow.
People like you are why this community has become so toxic.
I know right, It’s ironic that they say stuff like this, alliance won’t ever have a fair shot on a pvp server and we shouldn’t have access to that part of the game kinda like they wanted BG Access…
I’ve given up on trying to reason with you bud. Please proceed on your tantrum into oblvion.
Because I offered a solution? I get camped too at stones. I just don’t cry about it on the forums. Just death run and zone in lol. There’s nothing toxic about that.
Literally got camped at Kara the other day. We just zoned in behind the gate though. It took a whole 15 minutes with 2 minute res timers
You don’t actually care that Alliance is almost unplayable in the world on a lot of servers because of ridiculous imbalance. You just want to “LOL PvP server bro!” them. You’re no different than the Alliance that didn’t care about the Horde BG situation being almost unplayable.
Dude our server is a lot of horde and a little alliance. Alliance still camp things because the entire server isn’t at one stone. Rally some alliance and fight the horde at the stone. Or just zone in. It’s that simple.
Server population imbalance has nothing to do with a summoning stone. We don’t fight alliance most of the time at stones on my server.
The entire server isn’t at the stone. Meaning, this conversation has nothing to do with a stone and everything to do with PvP on a PvP server
If there are 3000 horde at one stone every time and 3 alliance, sure that’s a problem. But that’s never happening
It’s because most people don’t care about the game’s health they only care about the issues that currently affect them.
It doesn’t matter if the change kills Alliance as long as if they get an immediate fix to their issue.
I literally just explained how we got camped at Kara the other day. It affects me too.
Our options were as follows:
Recruit horde to fight back
Death run to the instance
We just ran into the instance
Either that or they take their faction too seriously lol, we are the same people at the end of the day on a different side of a video game. Got their BG queues fixed but don’t want anything to do with our quality of life on pvp servers.
You’re just like every ignorant Alliance member that couldn’t see past their own nose while the Horde languished over queues. You’re incapable of understanding anything but yourself.
Yep.
Same problem in real world politics. People are ignorant and selfish.
The fact that on my server that has way less alliance than horde, combined with the fact that alliance still camp stones on my server means that the faction imbalance has nothing to do with stone camping.
This is because the entire server isn’t at one stone, or disbursed at every single stone.
At any given point in time, a group of 10 people could camp any stone on my server.
It’s just PvP
