Hey all, I've recently returned to the game and one reason why I did was to try the new battle event and I have to say, I'm disappointed.
My problem with the event is simple, It's not fun at all and you can't lose it!
Now I'm playing horde and by looking previous posts some would say (at least you're winning). Winning without putting effort is no fun! And also by some miracle of God if I find myself on the losing side, I can just find a group in the group finder that's on a winning shard which makes no sense whatsoever!. All the battles are so one-sided.
Imagine begin a soldier in a medieval battle, the second you figure out you're losing you just transfer to a alternate timeline where you're winning and go from there.
Sharding and shard hopping + war mode can't co-exist. Please for the love of God come up with a solution to this problem
Its only possible to leave Mezzamere if you can fly. Besides that, theres very little you can do when 1 side outnumbers the other by such large amounts. This is as far from fun as it gets
If they remove sharding, it’s pretty much over for those of us whose home realms are lopsided. And if we have cross-realm friends, too bad! Will never be able to play together again.
I think sharding is great, they just need to improve its algorithms.
I thought sharding was just an improvement over cross-realm zones? Like. Normally my realm Moonglade shares zones with Argent Dawn, The Sha’tar and Steamwheedle Cartel, but shards blend or separate more realms as the zone demands?
removing factions and introducing a different system is the only way to go. otherwise they would have to balance out cross-realm-zones and deactivate the option for using group finder while events like the pvp event in nazjatar are active.
Otherwise it is just a matter of which faction gets more people phased into their zone quicker. Much fun when 20 russians just pop in right in front of you… ^^
