Low level BGs were bursting with activity in Classic but activity was drastically curtailed in TBC. Twink communities had to resort to organizing a night of the week to queue particular brackets (for example, 39 bracket plays on Sundays). Through a lot of hard work, we’ve extended the days where we actually can get games to pop.
I believe the 19, 29 and 39 bracket are getting pops during prime time for most evenings. It is mostly twinks but some levellers do join.
Difference from now to original
Twinks back in the day are a lot different than the modern twink. Twinks back then were largely just there to farm other players with little focus on objectives. In Classic, twinks are focused on good games with a lot of objective play. Players swap factions or sit players if one side is weak or missing players.
What does that mean for non-twinked players?
Battlegrounds are group-based encounters with team objectives. Yes, you’re not likely to solo a twink but you shouldn’t be solo anyways. Stick with a group and hunt the objectives.
Crowd Control is important. You can’t twink for that. Make sure you use it.
Games are fun… hope to see everyone join for a break in levelling.
PS: I actually play untwinked (good gear but not even close to maximized).
PPS: Thanks Brian and the dev team. Appreciate the support!
Except that I didn’t farm AV, nice try though, better luck next time. Nice claims, at least I have backed up what I said, unlike you. I never got help from the Colosseum either. Got any more lies you want to tell about me?
Anyway, enjoy your dead queues.
I already did. Kinda funny telling peolle where they should play, it’s usually people like you who weren’t even around during the orginal Vanilla and TBC.
Perhabs you should buy some glasses and look who I was responding to.
Blizzard explain how the world is the main character now that people can sit in the city and que to level up? Strange how you lean on those 3 pillars when they are convenient but topple them right over when they aren’t. Absolute garbage.
I 100% plan to use the BG que tab while questing without RDF being given to us, I havn’t done BG’s as a low level character since vanilla wow because I see it AND twinking kinda pointless. I can’t imagine the player base being very large around it, but I may be wrong. Who knows.
While an individual who isn’t optimizing their capabilities for level 19 might not be able to compete on an individual level, it’s more fun to play a game with people of unequal capabilities than it is to not be able to play at all.
I think you guys need new game designers, honestly. That is a pretty terrible take. I really don’t know anyone who wants to play a game if it isn’t going to be roughly fair. Just say “we barely have the time to cobble this expansion together with all of your sub money, much less make separate queues for low level PvP that hardly anyone does” than try to sound profoundly ignorant of game design.
I remember leveling in bgs very vividly and maybe the wait time was at most 15-20 minutes which was about the same as lfd. I don’t understand that blatant lie.
Only thing I can think of is one of the higher ups plays twinks.
Pretty sure I didn’t misread it. level 10 RETAIL AVATAR. then you linked a max level retail character. the point was he was calling you a retail player and you confirmed it.
You didn’t farm AV? Then, what are you dong with your life, lol!?!! Every bg’r farms AV. You don’t, though. Right. ROTFLMAO!!! Also, EVERYONE who has the Bloodthirsty title got it mostly from AV or maybe Ashran when it was current. I think that title is for 250,000 pvp kills. It takes no skill at all to get. I don’t know why people even flex with that title. You don’t even have to try to get it, because just playing in bgs will get you that title over time.
This is cute and all but where’s the blue post on fresh realms and pre patch date? Stop stuffing us with filler episodes and get to the good stuff already.
It is exactly what was said. You linked a level 60 monk and told him to go sit down as if it was some how disproving him? But it actually proved his point altogether.
No, i didn’t. It’s from having played the game since 06 and I got it quite late because of it.
It’s not a flex, it’s showing that I have played alot of battlegrounds and therefore have experience. Nothing more, nothing less. So you’ve failed again, better luck next time.
This is actually a brilliant change. No one will bother trying to level or doing BGs at low levels, because it won’t be worth it. This forces them to open world level or dungeon farm. This in turn will force more people will use their crappy LFG too, and they can claim the better usage metrics as a win for the development team.
What is it with you people and being unable to read? When he replied to me the “retail avatar” part wasn’t even there. He asked me to back up my claims, which I did. The only way to do that is through achievements, which can only be done on a retail char because we’re not in WOTLK. It’s not exactly rocket science.
