How has TBC impacted your BGs

madeline · 22-01-2007, 12:38 AM

Just wondering how TBC has changed your BG's. I imagine not too many ppl are above 30 so I guess this will apply mostly to the 10-19 range. In my server as an Alliance player the Allinace is winning more since TBC has been introduced. I don't know if its more new ppl joining the horde or what.

Also Paladins are a pain in the arse to kill. But they haven't made that much of a difference IMO.

The biggest impact that TBC has had on BG's on my server is that there are none anymore.

Had a look at queues the day after burning crusade released, AV - 0, AB - 2 WSG - 2, given that the week before there was a minimum of 20 of each at all times thats a pretty serious impact!

Que times are shorter for Alliance this week. All the BE pallies. I've seen severly make the rookie mistake of trying to bubble while they had the flag..........easiest flag recovery evar!

For the most part I think shamans have made the biggest impact in this bracket, which I didn't expect since Shaman twinks are very rare.

I started a Shaman, partial twink, all the gear no enchants. I'm owning everything except hunters and full twinks.

Well, none of my 6x will be BGing until they hit 70 now. My lv 2x shammy might shake her thang a little at 29, since a bit of lupine flag running could be fun. However, most people who have been playing the game for a while will be levelling either former-60s or new toons, so don't expect much action for a bit. The new BG might be surprisingly crowded; maybe the dull-and-mindless quake3-stylee arenas will be as quiet as they deserve for a while..

Hell, I picked up a blue lv 64 bow which is a pretty solid rival to the rank 14 crossbow yesterday, so maybe the smart money really is on exploring some of the spiffy new PvE content for now.

The reason Alliance are now winning more in that bracket is because of all the alliance rolling BE's and watering down the Horde PvP talent pool.

Now horde looses (10-19WSG) on my server about 3 to 1. All because of BE - it's full of PUGs. Most of them "never heal" pallies.

I as well as many others predicted the mass re-rolling of the countless number of NE hunters over to the horde side as BE chars. Now the horde can enjoy blizzard giving your faction a race that appeals to the younger player who wants to name his char legolassz.

I picked up some Hellfire quest rewards, some drops and one pair of pants bought in the AH. All greens, replacing blues. Upped my +crit and +damage dramatically (mage here). Went to battlegrounds (still 60) to see how I stand. I'm a regular Monitor gun turret now. A destroyer of Horde. Another frost mage and I sat at the Arathi farm, and the Horde couldn't take it back. People I know are dumping all their Dire Maul, Scholo, Strat plans and just enjoying the tremendous drops in the new zones/instances.
