Re: Wintergrasp changes. Eep!
hmm, reading that doesn't seem that bad, i guess i just took it wrong. it is kinda crappy though that you can't go in and farm stuff while a battle is going on. i used to just go in and watch the battle (before i started PVP) of course this didn't end well because i would be seen instantly and had my rear handed to me before i could do anything about it; but still. i guess wintergrasp in now just a BG when the battle is going on. We'll see though, they always change things before the patch hits anyway.

Re: Wintergrasp changes. Eep!
Blizzard creates content that is so popular that it causes overcrowding, massive lag, and in some cases, server crashes. But they refuse to instance it. Instead, they change the dailys to weeklys in hopes of getting people TO NOT PARTICIPATE. Turns out that this isn't good enough, because people weren't doing wintergrasp because it gave good rewards, they were doing it because it's FUN! So now we have a BG that you can only queue for every 3 hours (or whatever the timer is), and a world zone that you can't enter when the battle is in progress. And on top of that, not everyone can participate. This is hilarious. Having a limited BG that impacts the world (access to farm mobs and raids) is a cool idea. Losing means more than just queuing up another AV. Winning means opening up content. The question to me is, why can't all of these things happen as a result of an instanced BG instead of something smack in the middle of the world? Why not have a BG that only opens every 3 hours that has ramifications for the server? Why not admit the mistake and change the design, instead of taking very popular content and limiting who gets to see it?

Re: Wintergrasp changes. Eep!
On Draenor the alliance outnumber the horde 3 to 1. So this really starts to make things more fair for the horde (yay!) Plus the couple of times I've been in there and been defending. When the alliance come through the gate it's Lag Hell and they end up winning. Every time. I even saw someone say "Oh we're lagging guess they win" and they did. With this patch however you can fly over WG rather than being pulled down into it you only get ported or kicked if your hanging out farming/fishing/nude sun bathing. So like everything it's got it's benfits and drawbacks. I don't like that it's being treated like a BG, but like I said it will be a little more fair imo. Maybe. |

Re: Wintergrasp changes. Eep!
I never stepped a foot into WG until I went to buy my mount with the shards from running Heroics. Once there I got caught up into a fight and 14000 honor points later I was like wow I really have been missing something. I am sad to have read this now but am glad I got my mount before all the changes. |

Re: Wintergrasp changes. Eep!
RE: instances. What do you do if in one instance horde wins and the other ally win. Who wins the zone? How would you feel if you won a mighty battle, but couldn't reap the rewards. The 100 queue will be aweful; because the battles are spaced 2.5hrs it will feel like you won't ever get a chance to go into WG! So do you have to wait 5+ hours to even get into a WG? Not impressed with the solution. |

Re: Wintergrasp changes. Eep!
Apart from the lag I really enjoy Wintergrasp. I have a Warrior & 2 Warlocks-on different servers- @ 80 & they are great in there. I wonder if they could do something like a debuff-you have been in WG twice today give someone else a turn  . I have recently started playing/leveling my Paladin (76 atm) & entered WG with him-damn some of those 80s hit hard & the "resists" are a pain- but I am doing my bit so I feel justified being there & therefore don't really like the idea of 80s being given preference-though I do understand the reasoning. A funny thing happened last night a horde was running from a bunch of Alliance & some pally (who will remain nameless) got him with repentance long enough for the rest to catch him- I could just imagine the look on the other side of the screen....yes,yes I am homefree & then OH !@#$ I am stunned & dead rofl
