Lets talk Battleground

[boubou]

I did not have a chance to try it yet, will probably tonight.

I want to know how we will attack those as a guild. Pickup groups must be real boring, but if we do those as a guild, then we can really rule.

Do we have alliance with other guilds so that we learn to fight with the same allies all the time.

Any items that we should get, engineering, resist items, etc.

Do we plan times where we try to go in start a bg. I dont want to log at 7 just to learn that 20 guildies started it at 6h30.

Discuss what you saw, what classes are good, what strategies can be used, things we should know, etc. Let us know if any spells, abilities, etc can really make a difference.

Thanks,

From I experienced last night trying to get in as a good group can be a tedious experience and sometimes have to wait more than 30min... So what I did after trying to get in as a group was to just run in with pickup group really less downtime like 5 min wait instead of over 30 minutes (hope they fix it, cus pickup group are.... well just pickup groups). And I dont think you can go in with 10 raid cus we had some strange bug when some ppl got left behind and werent ask go get in instance. On the good side I made 10k cp last night there....


I havent tried the 40 man raid tho, just the 10 man one. But as you all know last night was the first night it was on so it'll probly get better.


As for the instance itself, I found it pretty fun when you have good ppl inside who know their shit. Cus you have one group that stays back and defend the flags, and you have one that tries to steal alliance flag.

So the main problem nnow is the queue line and the fact that you cant enter it as a 10 man raid... (at least it didnt work last night maybe its possible i dunno)

Those are my 2 cents

I'm at work now so if you have specifics questions I can answer em since I bored out of my head there....

CTF is fun as shit if you are with a 10 man raid that knows their shit. Just make sure your raid is full before you queue up and you should be able to take your whole raid into the instance as long as they all accept when the summon notice pops up.

The only negative thing about taking a good raid group is going against shitty alliance pugs sucks. You kill them and win the map in like 10 minutes, but then you have to wait 30 to go again. There was one alliance pug that was so bad, that we capped 3 flags and not one of our members was killed. So that was like a 5 minute game

i had alot of fun with the guys last night =) we did great myself supra and mystic held that hall with a vengance.

however some things i didnt like the wait time is just unreal and it didnt always port in our full group which was dumb and the part you have to reset the cue if ya add another person to the party is just retarded

however the CTF is rather interesting i can see so much that can be done with further implements of game updates and such

i think alot of us suffered the first day blues =)

i am interested to see were it goes will it shine like it can and should or will it BOMB!

I already beat the game. <a href="http://tinypic.com/5tuaut">http://tinypic.com/5tuaut</a>
Pretty sure they're just shutting the rest down now.

[Docgonzo]

Wow how many cp did you get last night or from this instance


Or did ya Photoshop it

[Oogakuk]

Only got 16k cp, haha. Probably has something to do with the fact that I was in a raid group for the majority of the time and was killing the same people over and over and over

[Sirion]

Ouch, I got 230 HKs yesterday in 3 CTF matches (all three were wins) and ended up with 14k cp :/

[Oogakuk]

Yeah, I've never been a big fan of raid pvp. I always end up with a ton more CP from good groups and 2mans, even if I spend the whole day in Hillsbrad.

Probably gonna spend most of my time in CTF from here on out, just wanted to see what kind of quests and stuff were in Alterac since I hadn't really messed with it before now.

Honestly, Alterac takes so damn long to win that it doesn't really seem like it's worth it to go there for CP. I can't count how many times one side got to the other side's main base and couldn't make that last push, so the momentum shifted all the way back to the other side of the map.

[boubou]

Hey is there a way that we can capitalize on the fact that there are 100 stupid alliance waiting on 1 spot to get into the instance.

Get a FG mages and other bombers and kill them all.

Most are afk, dueling, or just being dumb alliance.

Let me know, I really want to try it.

The rewards from Alterac are way better than Warsong Gulch. Raising your Frostwolf reputation is a good idea. Compare.

Alterac is too long, Warsong is where the Bear Claw shines.

an alliance guild hit the people waiting to get into alterac. they just zerged in a few aoe mages and nuked them to death since most were afk.
