Oh, and I would like to see old 60 raids converted to scaling challenges that award heirlooms instead of epics.

Q u o t e:


Like I mentioned, a lot of players feel that waiting for another expansion for a new Battleground is just too long of a gap. This is the first time we are adding a BG in a content patch and we are aiming to get back to giant 40v40 style which is also something a lot of players have been asking for.

---

You mean a lot of players have been asking for a 40v40 bg since AV is just a run around the other faction?

=)

The answer is "a new battleground". A lot of players have been asking for one for a long time and feel that waiting for a new expansion is just too long of a gap.

yea.....new battleground

if only you could fix the problems of current battlegrounds. namely population imbalance on both sides at start of matches. going 4v10 or 20v40 is whats ruining bg's

And we have not forgotten about the mess, piles of problems, and loads of complaints that were also included in Alterac Valley 1.0. ;-)

But, it was VANILLA.

VANILLA, man. It haad to be good.




No, I thought the original AV sucked, the current AV sucks, nothing good about it at all. Was a great concept, just didn't work out. Here is to a better version of it.

So the honor farmers get every BG to farm honor while the people who play BGs for fun are left with nothing.

Great logic.

*gives rose-tined glasses to Bornakk*

Here, wear these glasses and join us in a mystical "Remember When..." voyage where we all remember WoW pre-TBC as a wonderous time when everyone was mature, helpful, engaged and full of the competitive spirit and where every facet of WoW's gameplay was spot-on and the only thing that ever went wrong was the meddling devs and the things they did to WoW that ruined the magic gaming Utopia known as Vanilla.

Q u o t e:


No trash mobs.. That's the only thing I can come to on the "asking about for a long time"

---

The OP even stated another part, Ring of Blood. I can remember lots of people 'praising' it back when BC first launched. There were alot of people who also suggested a raid instance with a similar idea.

This and what you said. no trash will be nice.

One thing I'd like to see...

Change the daily turn in of BG marks to more or less require 4 different marks of any of the BGs to be turned in. The more BGs we add; the harder it becomes to get all the marks required.

Then why not leave the option for those that, gasp, like it?
Makes no sense to me.

Awww.... double talk.

"long time" is suggestive. People have been asking for a new bg for a long time, sure, but the point here being they just GOT one.

damned lolpvp.....

Or 3.


I despise AB and don't like having to do it to turn in marks.

Or allow us to turn in 4 or 5 or whatever of 1 mark for honor. I hate having marks piling up in my mail. It forces me to play AB just so i have something to spend them on.

Q u o t e:
Is it just me or did Blizzard not mention that the 3.2 raid instance would be "something wow players have been asking about for a long time."

This led to speculation that perhaps the new raid would be Uldum or Grim Batol.

What I'm wondering is this:

Who the hell has been wondering and asking about a coliseum raid in a place (the coliseum) that none of us had even heard about previous to 3.1 (and wont even exist proper until 3.2)?

I have to admit, I'm not particularly psyched up about raiding in a beefed up ring of blood for an entire tier. Beyond that, though, I feel like I have lore blue-ba**s because I was expecting something that, well, I had been expecting ( as per the blue post ).


Can someone please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this?

That was also when we competed for ranks and there was an exponentially higher potential for exploitation. Honor is so easy to get now - you can practically get capped in a day or two, that these things don't apply. We don't need to have reduced honor on BG targets now.

AV 1 was epic, a team effort, and was far more entertaining than it is now. You can put in other ways to compensate for time. You can give out bonus honor and tokens for the amount of time in there, and also allow for people to /afk out after a 20 minute playtime if people are so inherently obsessed with instant reward and gratification.

Ah but then you went ahead and added Vehicles too the BG after so many people requested that you don't leaving the pvp to players vs players instead of yet another Tank spank then die cuz your oom

Well, be happy. The last boss drops [Small Stoneskin Gargoyle Cape]. "This cloak is white, but around the same size as your average cloak or cape."
