Wintergrasp changes. Eep!
Slightly amended Patch notes including a 'blurb' on wintergrasp. The battle is now 100 v 100, you've got to queue up 15 mins before the start via a wintergrasp battlemaster. The allocation is random, level 80's get preference. So if you're in WG farming, fishing having fun and don't get queued, you get ported out once it starts. So technically there's a chance you could never do WG again with it being a random selection! |

Re: Wintergrasp changes. Eep!
on my server tenacity stacks extremely high sometimes because theres such an off ratio of alliance to horde, and it makes winning wintergrasp extremely difficult. even with tenacity, we just cant make up for not being able to be so many places at once with how few alliance there are. it's a real problem and makes people on my server not want to bother playing. I think at this point alliance has successfully defended wintergrasp a totaly of 5 times since it's existance. I agree Blizzard has to do something about this issue, but I don't think this is a fair solution. It could literally mean I can never do wintergrasp again. On the other hand, we rarely have more than 2 raids and they don't usually get completely filled, so at elast on my server for alliance there may be spots.That's only 80 people right there. |

Re: Wintergrasp changes. Eep!
I have to be honest and say the WG isn't one of my favourite BG's, and that its mainly down to lag. If this fixes the lag then I'm happy, although why they can't just make it instanced when they're limiting numbers I don't know. Does this mean I may never get enough WG marks for my titan-forged blah blah's??? I just hope they've learned from this for the next one, Strand works fine and that has all of the big machines and the explosions that go with them. MAKE IT INSTANCED! And what's with the dodgy timings too? Why not just once every 2 hours like it should be..... Sorry, rant over :-)

Re: Wintergrasp changes. Eep!
I think it's an attempt to deal with the lag/crashes caused from WG though I think it's basically like... hmm, lets try this random idea and see if it works... I have a feeling that it'll be changed again before it's all over. |

Re: Wintergrasp changes. Eep!
I'm hopeful that with the queuing and the weekly quests they may consider to increase the frequency of the battles. Otherwise at peak times - 5pm - 9pm - a lot of people are going to be disappointed. |

Re: Wintergrasp changes. Eep!
I don't think they can increase the frequency that much, since you need to give people time to do the bosses. All those pugs take ages
