Battleground Extravaganza!

So, im sitting here with my cup o´joe (coffe) and reading through alot of PvP material and blogs and I find them all very intresting and amusing in their own little querky ways.

So I thought I'd give my own take on it.

First of, I allways hated the Mark of Honor that you had to collect, they were gruesome to gather, specially when your a mount collector like me=/

So removing those old things is a blessing, thanks blizz^^

AV, WSG, AB, EoE, WG and so on. I love them all=) But what blizz really have missed in the area of PvP is the balancing of players imo. Sometimes you end up with pre-mades and when you do, you can just Desert from the chosen BG and do something else, cause you know you wont have a chance in Helheim.


And the communication is allways a source of annoyance to me. Why not make the top 3 ranked PvP'ers the raid "guides" who can take command and form any sort of strategy!? Hearing someones scrawny voice over Voice in WoW could actually help your side. How many times haven't you been beating on some ally on one side of the keep and then you see that you missed the RW that they are attacking the other side of the keep or something in that area!? Annoying as frell><

This is no QQ post tho. I have to say that on my server I usually make the top 5 killers in any BG and it's a satisfaction I love. But what I do miss mostly in BG's nowdays, it is the adrenaline surge that comes when you first start of with BG's. Seeing the enemy come at you, heart racing, fingerse smaching keys and legs drumming away like a punkband drummer. It's a feeling you could die for=)

But nowdays people tend to change their oppinions about BG's as soon as a new patch is released. Few weeks ago, Prot warriors was the rage and they were demi-gods for a while. So ppl started nagging and i think they have been or will be nerfed soon. Sad really. I wanna see a BG that you dont need to be a certain build just to make it. We need to be able to hop on as a healer/dps or tank and make the best out of it. If we could, it would be great.



An idea i have had for a while was why not blizz have even thought of the idea of giving the two factions each a BG Keep that they could defend and spring surprice attacks against the opposing factions keep, from. Resetted each week with the interior beeing upgraded or downgraded depending if you were in charge of your own keep or not by the end of the week^^ A Keep where you could have around 40-50 small Instances that could be bought up by a guild. A small congregating room where you can keep your guild meetings and RP events away from prying eyes and curious noses.

Tha would be great to see, but I know it's just a lame dream that will never come to life.



What in store for the future then? Well, who knows. With Cata comming soon I dunno what will happend at all to all our old BG's, cause i dont think any of them will be there after the Cata, not in any way we remember them by. Would be cool if they actually made the BG's as they did with Queldanas. Weekly progressions were you have to force back the hostile mobs that have like zerglings swarmed over all our former BG's. And in the end when the mobs are dead and long gone and the BG is in "player" hands again, one could again start the BG and maybe be able to improve it for ones own side in some way.
Hmm, it sound cool but...it's just a play with thoughts from a mediocer Hordie.

Whats your take on the future of BG's??

What do you think Cata will do to them and how?

What won't I do?

Aloha peeps! Ava the Pala here again.

So I was sitting down for some nice reading and i came upon the Breakfast Topic: What won't you do? article and i found it so amusing that i will continue it myself. First of, this is what Matt Rossi wrote;

______________________________________
I just plain won't kill critters.

It's a bit of a superstition that I developed after a beloved pet (a rabbit) died in real life shortly after I'd killed a rabbit in game. I should point out that I'm fully cognizant of the fact that my killing a digital rabbit in no way, shape or form actually harmed my real life bunny. It's simply not something I want to do ever since it happened. I don't want or need to believe in any sort of causal link to simply find it unpleasant to hear their little death screams in game.

I've gone so far as to kill a flagged player I had no interest in PvPing beforehand just because he killed a squirrel outside the Darkmoon Faire grounds.

I also generally won't gank lowbie players. If a toon isn't within at least 3 levels of me, it's just not sporting (as far as I'm concerned) and I don't see the point. I actually even rolled a horde toon on my old alliance server back in the days of Crossroads raids and geared him as best I could in BG gear just so I could attack my own guildmates (and let them know I was doing it) for raiding XR.

So now, how about you? What won't you do? Run lowbies through instances, twink, roll a warrior, what is that thing in game you're just never going to give a try?

________________________________________





So what won't I do? Well I will never run anyone through any Instance for money's sake.
I do that out of goodwill, since I can actually remember that I was once myself in the other end of that rope.

What else? Well I will never roll an Alliance toon neither.
I've done so a few times but I allways loose intrest in a day or two and end up not leveling the toons over lvl 25 or so. Dont know why, but I am and allways will be a Horde=)

Killing critters? Nope, I /love them instead=P Been trying to get those achievements for the /love pets for ages now, only thing stopping me is my lousy memory><

Never will I ninja either or ninjapull, those are the two things in WoW I hate with passion. Cause if you aint the tank, then why the frell should YOU pull any mob at all? And Ninjaing loot, thats just down dirty and dispicable. Thats the thing that send your soul to Purgatory.

What won't you do?? Please lets share what we won't do and see where we end up=)
