Feedback: Same-Faction Battlegrounds Test

Implement this change officially please, was great! Shorter queues make the game worth playing again. If it doesn’t get implemented, chances are pretty big i’ll quit playing.

See this is how you balance the queues. Just quit the game and the problem will disappear. Thanks for your honorable service mr undead.

Insanely stupid, cus Alliance racials aren’t even that bad. Maybe slightly worse in non-meta comps. But in the RMP meta arena 3’s - Alliance is probably even better.

This is simply toxic jealous behaviour bro, why wouldn’t you want others to enjoy playing a video game?

Thats exactly the point. This change leads to less people enjoy playing a video game. Alliance are people too.

That argument is stupid on so many levels. You are currently playing against Horde. With the changes implemented you still will… How does it affect your gameplay exactly?

undead racial is op dude, didn’t the pserver streamers tell you?

I’ve given up and already resigned myself that this TBC “classic” is living on borrowed time, whether this change is made permanent or not.

Yes, it fixed the Horde queue issue’s.

However, sticking duct tape over that hole at the bottom of a swimming pool fixes the leak, for a little while.

And it seems there is no interest in fixing the actual problem and just using that duct tape to patch it up for a bit.

I have no plans to quit or anything, just yet anyway. But TBC is circling the drain.

how exactly will you fix the mental state of alliance that just doesn’t want to pvp in BGs?

The problem isnt that most of the Alliance dont want to PvP, thats just looking at the wrong part of the problem and not the cause. The problem is that most that DO want to PvP go Horde, then you should ask why?

really? outside of hardcore top end guilds, who do you know that rerolled horde just beacuse “muh superior pvp races”? since when is around a couple top end guilds enough to create <1min vs 1hr queue situations from <5min vs 20min queue?

you can rephrase it as much as you like, but Alliance.doesn’t.pvp. That’s the problem.

I just could play one night with the same-faction activated (because of work) but I loved it. It was the most fun night I played with my friends on TBCc and Im really hoping the change stays.

I wont comment what I think about the people that are unafected by the change and still want that the rest of the playerbase cant enjoy the BGs.

For the record, I never mentioned racials at all. I just said those who plan to PvP allot for the large part roll Horde, and why is that?

But you were pretty quick to bring up those racials and reach for the duct tape again.

Just reroll alliance. What difference would it make to you?

“hey there’s a really fast red car that’s running on the circuit today”. there’s only 1 red ferrari on the track. “what makes you think I thought about the ferrari?”

really…

This is amazing custom change for horde side. During the weekend as pvp player I felt that I enjoyed bgs at 100%. Waiting for queue 30-60mins is really bad, for some players it might be ok because you can roam around do quests even dungeons till the queue pops, but for pvp players who enjoy bgs its really bad waiting that long. And no…swap to alliance is not a solution.

As we can see here, this is custom change. By allowing this custom change means that devs are willing to help at any other potential issues might be. Aka in case alliance already or still loosing a lot of player base, devs can fix this issue by implement something that is already existing at retail or maybe something new.

I loved this change. The battlegrounds became way more competive and fun. The near instant queues were really nice, being able to play the content i want without having to deal with queues upwards of 1 hr. The alliance masks are kinda goofy but imo it worked fine.

The only downside i experienced with this change was that i ran into alot more premade groups (which usually stomps my soloqueue team and is not fun to deal with). However i think this was only due to the limited time periode in which this change was ative, because it incentivised players to be as efficient as possible during the test period.

To me, as an alliance player, it is very obvious that this change is a positive one for all involved.
People not having to wait an hour or more to join an element in the game that should be available to anyone at anytime they desire. This change will increase the fun people have in classic, both for alliance and horde. This is primarily because hordes get to actually play proper PVP and alliance are no longer needlessly griefed in the open world while questing, by hordes who simply need honor, waiting in queue.

Therefore, it seems like an absolute no brainer - implement the change. A bonus would be to permit hordes to transfer to alliance free of charge, as well.
