First of all, we have 1 hour + BG queues. They added Horde vs Horde BGs, which briefly and completely fixed the issue. Then they removed it for “unknown” reasons, and now we’re been back to 1 hour + queues.
Now, they added back the option for the Alliance to queue as premade; this was the last nail in the coffin for anyone who wants to play BGs on the Horde side. If you are willing to sit in the 90+ minutes queue to get into a BG(yes, it increased after they added premade alliance back), you are most likely going to be completely stomped within 5 minutes by a premade alliance team.
For the alliance ret@ards who are gonna come and say, “so just make your own horde premades!!11!” you simply can’t. Good luck finding 10-15 other people to sit in a 90-minute queue with you
Horde players have the right to enjoy the game the same as Alliance players do, we pay the same monthly subscription fee, but blizzard doesn’t care that PVP players can’t gear up or even play the game at all! Imagine being the average player with 2-3 hours of free time to play WoW a day(and that’s being generous, according to statistics); you could do 2-3 BGs in that time while alliance can do at least 15-20.
Personally, I just sat in the queue for EoS for 45 minutes to be greeted by an obvious alliance premade team sweating in comms. My team consisted mostly of green geared players who can’t even gear up because of the absurd queue times.
Any game where you have to wait 45+ minutes in the queue constantly is considered a complete failure and dead game.
TL;DR: Add horde vs horde BGs back into the game; horde players pay the same sub fee and currently can’t play the game.
I wonder why people don’t think the same way about PvE? I am trying to run Arca and SV as much as possible when I have time beause they drop last 2 enchants I’m missing. Looking for a tank for either routinely takes 1h+. Yet it never occured to me to go on a forum to cry about game being unplayable for me. If horde should get hvh and no premades back, alliance should get warmode and (server restricted) lfd.
That’s because the issue you mentioned has nothing to do with horde. I play on Earthshaker and trying to form a dungeon group can take 1 hour without a tank.
Issue is with game in general being dead, when people are only raid logging and no one has any motivation to do dungeons.
You sure they removed it for unknown reason? I am pretty sure it was a test with a set date for end of the test. Blizz is giving everything to zugs and you still keep ceying, why should they try more
Depending on the server it could have everything to do with the horde though seeing as the horde did drive aliance away from most pvp servers therfor makeing it even harder for the alliance still on those servers. I think the reason why its only the pvp people who complain like this is becouse pvp is inherently a selfish way of playing the game so it atracts more selfish people (not claiming there are no selfish pve players there are a lot of those as well).
“Personally, I just sat in the queue for EoS for 45 minutes to be greeted by an obvious alliance premade team sweating in comms. My team consisted mostly of green geared players who can’t even gear up because of the absurd queue times”
Not really, players play what is offered to them. If more people play horde that’s not the players’ fault that’s on blizz for making alliance unattractive.
Personally I don’t play horde because of racials or whatever, the races just look better imo.
Do you realize that a PvP server is pointless if there is only horde?
We need a new type of server for these guys who want HvH so badly that they would play without the Alliance.
Imagine they kill all Aliance on their server and are happy to be able to do HvH battlegrounds and then lowers Blizz the costs of the items and no one needs to go further in BGs … and you are sitting with your Horde friends lonely on your Horde-only-server and you have nothing to do except areana and pve stuff … oh and HvH all the time, just for fun of cource because there are nothing to get.
Nah you overastamet the amount of pvp players by a lot, the reason for how extreme the imbalance is right now is pve and that is easly seen, vanilla classic roughly equal overall pop tbc classic overall extreme horde overpop and in vanilla ally were the only once able to have paladins (probbably the best suport class in the game).
8 or 9 out of 10 players dont pvp at all, so the battleground-issue is not only pve-racial-related, altough it gets affected by it to some degree
queue-times will even be much worse in s2, when ppl will only “have” to prepare-farm for s3, while having a lot of marks left from s1- not like in s1 when ppl had to farm for full s0/s1 stuff plus preparing for s2 - many alliance-players will finish their honor/marks for s3 very quickly and the imbalance will increase dramatically which causes much longer queue-times for horde
if they really let HvH disabled + let easily formed alliance premades (instant queue vs. +30 min queue) farm horde pugs + queue-times increase even more… ye, that definitely won’t hurt the game bg and arena-wise
