Comments on: Stealth Unpatched BGs http://gnomeaggedon.net/2009/10/07/stealth-unpatched-bgs/ It's the end of the world as you know it - brought to you by a Gnome Mage with big balls of fire Sat, 09 Feb 2013 14:14:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: gnomeaggedon http://gnomeaggedon.net/2009/10/07/stealth-unpatched-bgs/#comment-5080 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 23:00:04 +0000 http://gnomeaggedon.wordpress.com/?p=4790#comment-5080 seems to be the same… but I think there is one difference.

it used to be (in WSG for example) once both sides had 5/10 the BG would begin.

Now it seems like once one side has a full group the battle will begin…

I can pray that I get one of those groups ;-) I have not ethics, I’ll be happy with the unfair advantage…

It’s nice to be loved…

Even those that are yelling out Healz noobs, shut up when you ask if they are talking to you…

The honor and the (lack of) deaths are a complete change…

Don’t know why I didn’t either….

Behavior in all battlegrounds seems about the same as it was before.

We swept AB 1600/0 in 6 minutes. Two HAWT achievements that are now meaningless for Myrhani, since there were only like four alliance in there. :(

But on the flip side, you’re absolutely right… since I went into BGs as holy, not one person has told me that I suck and lots and lots and lots of people have told me that they love me. I got to be the top healer in several ABs and an EotS, and was second in AV (more healers seem to congregate there huh?) and it feels good to not be halfway down the list getting 97 honor and having died twelve times. I love being the one getting 347 honor and only dying twice like I was in ret. Oh, and the people loving me and rushing across the BG to save my very holy bum is a really nice feeling.

Why didn’t I start healing sooner?

However… if you have 100 of each of AV, AB & WSG… that’s 3 BG mounts…

Don’t know why I am whinging… it wasn’t that long ago this was normal.

I think Blizzard wasn’t ready to release the new 70-79 + 80 brackets, so Drek and Van are turned for level 80′s…

That said, put a bunch of Horde in Galv’s room and you wont take the bugger down either… experience has shown…

Don’t the Horde realize they are a taint on the face of Azeroth… ;-)

I’ve decided now is a good time to level my professions while I wait… it’s occurred to me that my fishing (level 4) and cooking (not much higher) wont get me far with the Dalaran dailies… which will increase my Kirin’Tor rep… so might as well get onto that now.

As for herbalism… I can’t pick a herb in Arathi Highlands right now, let alone Outland… and I am knocking on Artha’s door… better work on that too.

I am sorely disappointed, because I am sick of AV starting 40 Alliance to 19 Horde, and WSG being 10A to 6H. A lot.

What am I gonna do with my time? Quest? not likely!

I’m not sure where I stand on the full teams bit. Sure it’s annoying getting slammed because you don’t have a full team, but it cuts both ways and evens out in the end I think.

This waiting around all the time though, is of teh suck.

Good thing my frost PvP spec happens to double as a super awesome AoE grinding spec :P

and I still wanna know how come we can’t kill Van anymore, and the allies totally haven’t been able to kill Drek either.

Oh well by my calcumalations I need another 8 winning AVs to hit level 80, with a bit of random mob killing thrown in while I’m waiting, and hopefully it wont be an issue then.

Oh heres another whinge im going to toss in here. What the hell am I meant to do with all these token? I have 100 of AV, WSG and AB tokens, about 50 EoTS tokens, 10 SoA tokens and 2 IoC tokens.

But IoC never pops! For great honor? For great QQ imo.
