CF BGs is an awful idea

Post by Apuclevercow »

Greetings,

As many players might notice, there is between 0 and 1 SC done per day since Hen made some terrible (awesome) modifications. Before that these modifications were done, we could usually see people saying that there will be less and less players on the server if Hen makes modifications, they were wrong : We can see more players waiting in Tanaris for BGs.

However, all these new guys sleeping in Tanaris are on Horde side, it means that they're usually stealing my holy spot.
The active part of the Administration team can't tell us that there isn't a lack of alliance players for BGs : Whenever we que, there are always 3-5x more horde players than alliance players.
Alterac Valley is THE unique BG we can easily do, because it's at the hour almost kids from One Spot are playing.

What can you/we do against this ?
  • Oblige people to roll alliance ?
  • Unban/Unmute Ruuren again and again ?
  • Mute FAK ?
  • Restore Headway's chars over and over again ?
  • Tell Pastore that no one wants to buy his 3 S4 warriors ?
  • Create a black skin for gnomes which would make them interesting to play with ?
  • Do a week of testing for CF BGs ?
  • Give to players a free way to transfer to a race of the other side once/twice per day ?
  • Nothing ?

    - Fix a transfer Horde to Alliance for vote points (not the other way around)

    - Ruuren will not change anything?
  • Mute FAK ?
    - No comments..
  • Restore Headway's chars over and over again ?
    - His own fault.
  • Tell Pastore that no one wants to buy his 3 S4 warriors ?
    - Im selling 2x [The Horseman's Reins]

    - Yes please.

  • Ruuren getting banned/muted inside 5 minutes is his signature.
  • Getting Fak muted is pointless. Everyone knows that people troll him over his arena title. He doesn't really say much otherwise.
  • Headway.. well... at least he doesn't pretend to quit like a certain somebody.
  • Amen to the warrior one
I will, however, say PLEASE stop the BG rotation after about midnight [EST]. If it's not wsg, there are no Pops at all until it swings back around. You'll see the server go (and stay) around 20 or 30 people due to frustration. At least if it stays wsg, you'll still be able to BG (which is about the only thing to do here.) and reduce the dropoff around those times. Just my two copper.

10/10 support race/faction changing if it promises faster queue times. I'd definitely switch back and forth, to whichever side needed people to queue up.

There's only so much dueling and flirting I can do with Zap. :3

  • Fuck CF BGs, I like watching everyone flood to one side and killing queues for an hour. That's my source of amusement. That, and no horde wants to run with passion. Hell, I know a lot of alliance that doesn't either, for that matter.
Yes, awful idea, don't even think about it please.

Having one horrid BG hour is one thing, but two hours of inability out of a given faction just makes you want to stab yourself with a rusty spoon.
In my mind, AV is the unique hour when there are lots of gnomes playing. Giving them a real HK farming battleground to make them staying instead of leaving is a nice idea.

You, definitely switching to the alliance side would be appreciated. It's a shame to get you playing on the side I'm mainly rolling with.

Stopping the BG rotation to WSG only after midnight sounds like a damn good idea, battlegrounds just simply stop popping.
