Can someone please explain a little bit about Korrack's Revenge

PVP Battlegrounds
1

How it works and also your experiances. For example it seems any levels can join? how does that work in terms of gear etc ? is it true most people spend time in mines and not doing the PVP content ? I’d like to get a mount but it takes longer to get the badges by playing normally ? Horde are winning alot more than allaince ? is it dominated by premades ? anything relevant really.

I am curious as a few expansions back I used to like leveling in PVP when there were alot more pvpers when leveling and the epic battlegrounds were possible pre max level and alot of fun particularly.

Edit: Is the mount progression for one character or can you change character so is it more account wide ?

Welcome to the horde biased 15th Anni. event the Korrak’s Scandal. :slight_smile:

I think you can join after lvl 10 or 20 but not sure. There were many 30ish 40ish chars when I was trying to win a single game on horde biased 15th Anni. event the Korrak’s Scandal.

Your question here is a little bit obscure but I will explain. If you are lvling up through the horde biased 15th Anni. event the Korrak’s Scandal, then you should wear heirlooms seems to me that you already have most of them. If not, spent a little bit gold and upgrade them 3/4 or 4/4 quality. Heirlooms are great for both xp increase and their quality as gearing. If your intention is not lvl up but get the mount with your 120 char, you can enter with any gear to this unlike normal random bgs. For random bgs, I am recommending that you have at least 415 - 420 ++++ gearing. From the horde biased 15th Anni. event the Korrak’s Scandal, you get 395 gearing if you can win. But they put this gearing for transmog purposes rather than using it.

Most of Alliance players inside the horde biased 15th Anni. event the Korrak’s Scandal are clueless randoms. Due to Alliance less than %5 win rates, they never try to win it but all they want lose it quickly, get the XP and jump another horde biased 15th Anni. event the Korrak’s Scandal game quickly to get more and more XP in short time. There are many complaints lately that they kick afking and/or not contributing to team people out of horde biased 15th Anni. event the Korrak’s Scandal but I don’t know, during my 22 runs I never get kicked.

If you keep losing and don’t do PvE quests inside horde biased 15th Anni. event the Korrak’s Scandal, you get %4 progress toward the mount. It will take total 9 - 10 hours to get the mount I think.

Generally alliance players win rates are %4 to %8 on horde biased 15th Anni. event the Korrak’s Scandal.

In first days, premade teams were queued as team and won most of horde biased 15th Anni. event the Korrak’s Scandal. They get their mounts and nowadays there are less premades on horde biased 15th Anni. event the Korrak’s Scandal. Sometimes you will meet with some Russian teams but we have no clue that they are premades or full of randoms from Russian servers.

Mount progression is very similiar with general PvP progression. Your mount progress bar is character bound but mount itself is account wide. Let me explain it with examples: Let’s say your mount bar is on %65 on your main char. When you switch one of your alts including a horde alt, you will see that your mount progress bar is %0. You played a little with your alt and you will see your mount progress bar is now only %15. You go back to your main and finish the mount progress %65 to %100. You will get the mount instantly. At this stage, when you switch on your horde alt, you will notice the horde version of mount already added to your mount collections. If you play more and more horde biased 15th Anni. event the Korrak’s Scandal with your alts, you will see that mount progress bar keeps going up as % and in the end you will get same mount again but this means nothing because you already have this mount. The mount you get on your inventory is soulbound. You can’t trade or mail it.

it sucks as alli a lot - you dont get gear, but nowadays you can go immediately to nazjatar and you can kill one mob without gear, and you will get benthic gear quite early, if you want to have fun, dont go to korrak scandal, i tried with my rogue but no chance

i levelled in korraks revenge it was a horrific experience think i won twice in 20 games, but a lot of it was not down to horde bias, was more to do with lazy alliance players just there to leech xp by standing ontop of stormpike bunker or inside the bunker where you cannot be seen on the map because of a bug that was never fixed.

How is it not horde bias? Do you really think that they were not avare that this event will be play by uncoordinated random players? They were. Horde has almost clear way to the Alliance boss and they almost don’t even need to chat for this. But Alliance teams need very good coordination at least to stop horde. Even in that case they have %50 chance to win. This is a visible horde bias. Horde bias, horde bias, horde bias everywhere on this game!

it is bias but alliance could do a lot more is what i meant to say, horde do not have anywhere near the amount of afk players alliance do.

the bias thing is just something blizzard do there was years of alliance bias too with the broken human racial, and it will swing back to alliance at some point so players have to pay for faction changes.

Ok thanks for the info. Do they mix all players levels then ? and can/do people who turned off XP like Twinks join along with everyone else for this event ? I am asking because I have one lower level twink and after quickly checking their wait list was listed as 11 mins more than a character from the same bracket with XP on as usual. I am wondering why this may of been.

yes they mix all levels, even when scaled to 60, you can see the difference between their hp - around lvl 60 people have about 5k hp, while osmeone with lvl 20 has only about 2k - or maybe because of gear,
also when you are lvl 20 you are missing most of your spells still

10

So despite the scaling balance of everyone to 60 the people who who are going to be strongest are going to be max level 120’s with better gear anyway ? also note I have no idea how BFA and Azerite works but maybe that plays a part too ? I have my mounts now from the event which is almost over but I am still curious.

11

yep, i think azerite gear and essences are blocked - but you can see difference in hp between people who had lvl 20, and 120

Korrak’s Revenge is a meaningful name: if you went to kill him, you will have lost the BG regardless of side.

That said, the reason for the situation is different.

Firstly, alliance queues are a few minutes; horde a quarter and up.

Second, just being inside is granting ridiculous passive XP, and even more if you have even one of the BG XP trinkets.

As a result… to level most efficiently as alliance, you should go in using your fast queue, and then loose as fast as possible to requeue. Time-wise, swallowing losses (and halved BG-end XP bonus) is most effective if you account for shorter queue. As horde, the most effective choice is to just push ahead - blow up 2 bunkers and cap 2 graveyards on the shortest route, then zerg the alliance leader.

That’s all there is to it.

And the fact that even on last day you could grab the main quest, then go to Amphitheater of Anguish in WotLK era zone Zul’Drak, and either do the Amphitheater quest line (which summons… Korrak) or just party with someone who hasn’t done that quest line, and get the quest to kill Korrak to complete, didn’t help. Korrak was clearly there to add some chaos and agenda… but the thing in Zul’Drak circumvented that, both sides just complete the quest outside of the BG and then just ignore him and level most efficiently. It doesn’t help that the BG version of Korrak is a beast that you just can’t beat without a full healer-tank-deeps triad there, while the Zul’Drak one is a leveling group quest mob - a walkover, particularly for toons well over 80.

At start, the quests to hand in wolves, rams, mine resources etc. worked as they did ages ago, but then they changed it to a daily quest, so people stopped… both going to the mine, and farming wolves/rams, not to mention armor scraps.

And the big summons… aren’t effective when compared to afking in base or zerging.

That is why many alliance players passively cooperate with horde, even without the need to communicate or coordinate outside, say via Discord or some such.

When the event started, I did have one BG that lasted like 1,5 hours, we summoned an Ice Lord and had an honest battle - heck, both sides assaulted Korrak and he was killed. But… that was before Zul’Drak trick was known, and before farming resources was nerfed. Was good while it lasted.
