Battlegrounds: Imbalance Fix

[Gamblor]

I would love an open season instance. There are plenty of Horde I want to see dead.

Anything to fix shit like this:


Also, Put some Goddamn poison vendors in the zone! It's great that shaman can buy ankhs, but they dont use them all the fucking time, and I only have so much space between my 1.5 sets of extra armor and extra set of daggers plus pots blinding powder and trinkets.

The argument that most players are alliances and thus blizzard should catter to them are getting a bit retarded don't you think?

Even on pve server there is still alot of pvp going on. PVP assume you have an opponent fighting against you. If they don't do something, it's gonna get boring fast for alliance. Maybe not on all servers, but on some where the situation is worse.

I would be in favor of better vendor price and an xp bonus based on population imbalance for each server. 100% would probably be in the smoking crack realm but something more reasonnable. The bonus start at 5% when say there is more then 20% imbalance between sides and may climb up to 20-25% if it's getting extreme (say 3 to 1 or something). Other perks like AE buffs similar to thralls resolve being cast randomly in orgrimmar and undercity triggered by population imbalance would be nice too.

Wasn't sure that it warranted its own thread, so stuck it here:

The Alterac Valley Battleground has been disabled in order to gather more feedback on the Warsong Gulch Battleground.

Alterac Valley will be re-enabled this weekend.

We'd like to thank you all for helping us test Battlegrounds. We are already implementing new features (the join as group feature, which will allow players to enter battlegrounds in a pre-made group) and changes based on your testing and feedback.

Sounds like people weren't playing WG enough so they disabled Alterac to force people in.

Highlights

here are a variety of changes and improvments coming to the test server very soon. First and foremost, a significant number of changes are being made to make Alterac Valley more "winnable". In addition, similar changes are being made in order to make gaining bonus honor more immediate and responsive. Finally, it is intended that if a battleground instance shuts down due to too few players on one of the teams, the team that does not have too few players is awarded the "win" condition for the battleground.

And..

We're actively working on a feature that allows groups (of whatever size) to enter a battle together. It should be available on the test server very soon. This effectively allows you to "fill a battleground with your guild" if you have enough players to fill that battleground (easier for some battlegrounds than others), or simply ensure that as many of your guild (or friends) as possible can play together at once.

Not good enough. I want to fucking password procted the damn instance so its only my guys and no one else on my faction can get in.

Send in 22 of your own guild and rest of the spots are filled with some god damn trash of my server. That's bullshit. Allow us to lock our instance on our faction down, so we can purely play with our own guild.

We don't raid with strangers and we sure wont god damn play BG's with them either on our side.

When does blizzard learn that guilds operate alone?

[Ravensign]

How is the matching system supposed to deal with this? Do you get exactly 22 Horde in response? Do you get 40, thus "hogging" 18 extra horde players, not to mention possibly getting waxed, being outnumbered 2 to 1?

Play Capture the Flag if your guild is that tiny and insignificant.

Fuck you are stupid. Hello? Here is a clue, fetch boy, fetch:

How about we want to start the BG with 35 and omg, add the remining 5 when they log in as we do for molten core.

It's retarded to keep 35 players waiting for full login when people log in from work, most of them around 1730 and the latecommers join our raids around 1830.

Waiting always for exatly the right amount of player is stupid. Locking the instances down with password could enable us to swap players too, if someone has to go for RL emergency or so.

Setting date and time outside game and playing against another organized guild > playing a fucking 24-7 de_dust2 with strangers. Playing with your guild against random opponent > playing with random goofballs on your side.

Poison vendor is already placed and should be in next update on test.

Y ou said 22 in your post bitching about a 40 vs 40 map. I'm sure the Instance will start with your 35....and is 5 randoms really gonna mess you up?
