WOW Battlegrounds now up on test realms!
- Thread starter Vortex22
- Start date
After playing in Alterac valley for a few hours last night, I can safely say that BG's ROCK!
It's ultimate 40v40 PvP and the goals and quests in the area sort of remind me of UT2k4 onslaught, where you have to capture different outposts and make your way to the enemy stronghold. Of course there are no vehicles (but Blizzard said there will be in the future!!!), but there are tons of cool things you can do like loot things off of other players you kill and turn them into your base NPC's for money, bonus honor points, and NPC troop upgrades.
I'm gonna go check out the 10v10 capture the flag BG in ashenvale today... that one sounds like tons of fun also, and its supposed to only take 45 minutes or so to finish a game.

these the same test realms as before? are any characters you copied still there? i had my rogue copied like 20x for money and pots and stuff lol
Wow - anyone check out the test patch notes? First thing - Wands now autoshoot. Blizzard even said in the past that they weren't going to add that, that's pretty cool.
Just played a game of CTF... I know where I'm gonna be 24/7 once the patch is live.
Works just like UT2k4, complete with powerups and all
Nicely designed arena with alternate routes to the bases and such just like any good CTF map.

I HAVE BEEN DIEING FOR THIS!
maybe the request post on their boards signed over 400 times got some attention. Using a wand was giving me freaking carpel tunnel.
What's the ETA on vehicles? Will those be in when the main server patch goes live or are vehicles another few months off? I thought BG would start off with tanks and planes at least...

It was unplayable lag for me last night.
And no, it isn't my PC. I've got broadband and way more horsepower than WoW needs.

Can someone post the patch notes for the test realm if you have them?
Actaully wand auto shoot could be bad. Does that mean you can't shoot the wand and swing your weapon at the same time now?

"Players can no longer mail or auction an item that they've just disenchanted."

I just played a round on the 10v10 ctf instance in the barrens, its a blast!!!
most fun ive ever had in an mmorpg.

Wands being able to Auto shoot is crap... pisses me off so much. It has been stated a few times in the past that the only class with an Auto shot was supposed to be a Hunter.
It still to this day amazes me just how friggin much Blizzard HATES Hunters.
But yeah, Battlegrounds for the win... I'm so pumped.

wtf are you smoking the hunter is still one of the most powerful classes.. every single hunter on our server is Knight Captain or higher...
they are higher than most of the rogues...
hell my L32 hunter twink is already at master sargeant... and I can hit 60s with no problems for almost full amount at 32... mages and other classes cant...
Hunters are an evil pvp character and the flat out fastest character to PVE with period...
Ive been playing hunters since the Hunter push in beta... you think we suck now... shoulda tried us before our talents..
pets are getting a complete overhaul... they will be able to use thier racial skills... ie posion and such for spiders/scorps
pets were nerfed a bit in advance to make up for this coming addition...
Hunters are freaking one of the best most balanced classes in this game and yet you complain...

Yeah I never understood the hunter PvP complaints. Hunters do have a lot of problems, but they are mostly relating to PvE groups and high end instances.
Yet another Hunter with the wool pulled over his eyes. Hunters are evil in group PvP, yes, so we will own in Battlegrounds and do own with the honor system.
In 1v1 PvP we can barely beat anyone, except for Rogues. A well played Hunter will lose to a poorly played Mage/Druid/Shaman/Warlock/Paladin/Warrior/Priest any day of the week.
oh AND WE'RE STILL WORTHLESS IN ENDGAME NON RAID INSTANCES... so we're NOT balanced, and these "Pet Overhauls" are coming when? They are fixing the pet speed bug with this patch but that is it. So far I've been promised a bunch but been given nothing. The only thing we had special about our pets was taken away from us, and we were given DASH AND DIVE!!! omfg!!11!!
Wake up, realize that we are not needed in endgame instances, our pets are completely worthless at their current state, and they continue to nerf our dps and take away features that were supposed to be unique to our class...
The only reason why I'm taking my Hunter to 60 is because of Battlegrounds, thats it.
A hunter can beat certain classes in 1 on 1 pvp. Anyway 1 on 1 pvp is seriously broken in many, many ways, not just for hunters. Try being an alliance priest fighting an undead rogue.
New instances are "created" as more people sign up at the portal. There were at least 20 instances on the list when I went to play CTF this morning.
From what I've seen in alterac, there are NPCs that will fight alongside you, and there are quest NPCs that you can turn items in to upgrade the troops and call in attacks to the enemy. You also have to kill enemy NPC leaders to capture certain areas.
True in certain aspects but the Hunter class is really the only class that can be torn apart in 1v1 PvP. I have a lvl 35 shadow Priest and I own all classes at an equal level to me, all the time.
Every class is not meant to own every other class, it just doesn't work like that and I understand this. The problem is the only class I know I can beat is Rogue, every other one if I win I'm really lucky or the person I was fighting was an idiot and didn't know our multiple weaknesses.
