Feedback: Same-Faction Battlegrounds Test

Next positive changes would be cross faction auction house, dual spec, dungeon finder and a review of talent trees into less but more decisive choices, same with skills we need less but more important and defining, we should also redo buffs so that you are not forced to have a certain class for a certain buff “bring the player, not the class” is a way to put it. Also it’s obvious that loot fighting is incredibly toxic so every1 participating in a boss kill should get their own personal loot.

I know it’s a lot to digest but all of this is to bring real quality to the game and ensuring it keeps being popular and enjoyable for the players.

Why do you think there NEEDS to be a benefit to play Alliance? People can play what they want. If the majority want to play Horde, why shouldn’t they?

How smart are you? Is that easy rerolling? all that your alt chars, professions, most important thng " TIME" . Working of hours and come home start leveling again? what a selfish thing you saying? Stop crying about racials. Ally racials are op as fk! gnomes, humans, dwarf??

If you want this kind of stuff, wait for WotLK - it has most of what you’re asking for.

This change will bleed the alliance dry. Implement either free faction transfers from Horde to Alliance or add PvP gear from faction rep like in later stages. HvH is destroying the game.

Love the change.Im not free 24/7(and im sure that im not alone).Coming back from work having 2h to play maybe you get 1-2bgs if you go agains premade you will get about 100honor 1bage you dont need to be good at math to see that this is not going to workout in favore of anyone.

Please re-enable faction vs. faction bgs. It is the only way for Horde to be able to actually participate in PvP in a meaningful way.

Went to play classic to AVOID all what you put there.
maybe dual spec might be good but for the rest just play retail, i don’t know what’s your point here, ppl are having 30min to 1h queue for a quick battleground where you can be matched against premade, where is the fun in that?

I was being sarcastic xD

I basically listed all the “good features” that brought WoW into a game constantly losing subs to the point they HAD to rebuild the old version.

Edit: about your second point, yes it sucks, I used to PvP a lot in Vanilla and I can imagine the frustration. The issue is that Blizzard knew that, we knew that, we told them that the issue would just magnify and they did nothing but giving a pve tool to Ret Paladins (which I am happy for ngl but this is really a minor solution and not even to pvp). Then now they are basically saying that if you rolled Alliance on a PvP server then you are screwed and they’ll be leeching your money until your sub expires while making you even less able to play.

This is what my days looked like during the test.

  • Work until dinner time.
  • Evening comes - I play bgs with my friends and we have a blast! Need the gear BADLY for arena.

This is what my days looked like after the test.

  • Queue up for bgs when I start work, alt tab in to my work. If I get in to a bg I pause work and focus on the bg.
  • Get distracted from work constantly becuase I have to tab in every 10-15 minutes to move so I don’t get disconnected.
  • Forget to move once - get disconnected
  • Constantly have to reorganise my life around BG queue pops.
  • Evening comes - can’t play with my friends, most don’t play bg’s with these queues. We end up trying to decide on another game to play usually.
  • Decline any other group activity in wow becuase I’m 30 minutes in to a bg queue.
  • Before I log out at night I see that my day of grinding has barely resulted in 10% honor of ONE pvp piece, mostly due to facing premades.

Horde can’t really do premades, it’s really hard to find 10-15 people willing to wait around 1 hour. Turning in marks for honor is also a joke even with the fix since it’s 1-2 hours queue time for AV.

Please bring this back asap and fix AV if possible. Thanks blizzard for making a game that’s good enough to care this much about!

There can be alternative, like Mixed Faction vs Mixed Faction

Why not just delete the alliance and rename the game to World of Hordecraft?

They should. In a few weeks, no point play at alliance side. No players to set up groups for dungeons, premades, …
I know many people on my guild that is leaving alliance chars and making new ones on horde side.
And others that will not play at alliance side when (if) Woltk comes out.

Where was all this problem for the faction balance when in wotlk until legion the ladder and the pvp in general was only Alliance human?
Was the same problem but the answer was “you dont like it? Reroll”

Cit “you dont like it? Reroll”

i really loved this change. Honour grinding is a real slow progress in tbc and the gear is expensive ( perspektive of a mor casual player with a family and a job ). i was literally willing to quit the game, because leveling again is no option and playing alliance ( i dont want to leave friends and the guild. I simply dont have the time to wait half an hour plus for a match. please make this permanent so i am able to play the aspekt of the game i enjoy the most.

amen my friend.

I think you’re a horde main posting on a twink…it’s the only reason I can think of that you would make such a blatantly rubbish statement.

Horde love ganking, especially when on average they have 50% more players so know they will have lots of help and it makes them feel better after being stomped in a bg by players their own level. So no, the griefing won’t stop. It’s a mindset and won’t stop until the last alliance player has left the server.

Horde remind me of real life rare game hunters: they will persue and kill the last of a species and then moan when they have nothing left to kill and blame everyone else.
