Why Alterac Valley Sucks Ass.


• It is a pickup raid with a Queue.

• No one listens.

• You can’t do it as a guild.
–– Edit: Why you can’t get in AV as a guild: load up a 40 person raid, and have the leader join. You will wait indefinitely. Not enough horde are around. Whisperwind has not had more than 1 BG open yet. That is because there is not enough Horde.

• There are super NPC mobs that run around 2-hit-killing people.

• No one listens.

• Guards make it just like Tauren Mill at times (many times).

• No one listens.

• You wait 2 hours to get in.

• Not enough horde.

• Horde leave when Alliance are winning. (alliance always has replacements, so its not a prob on the other end)

• Your not placed in the raid at the start.

• you cant pick a leader.

• No one listens.

• People asking what the BG loot is for EVERY 2 seconds.

• Need more priests? You can’t just invite some in.

• Ninja looting of player bodies.

• Hight Latency.

• Not enough horde to play mid-day at all.

• It was just hype.

• Don’t forget — you can play the game while you wait!
Roam around and play! You can even run instances while in queue — you’ll be ported straight into the Battleground when the time comes. 🙂

—— Right I’m gonna go run Strath, just to leave 5 pulls before the boss because AV finally decided to let in.

And after all that, this is a reason you should buy World of Warcraft?

Also: This is one reason I am so disappointed with AV. AV is what battlegrounds SHOULD BE and what battlegrounds were said to be. This CTF stuff was sprung on us. I’m not saying CTF is bad, it’s just it feels like it was added BECAUSE AV was not going to work. June 10 7:27am

    Yeah, it must really suck for Alliance. I’ve never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes as Horde.

    But you can get in as a guild! You should definitely try it. Just all get in the same raid group, and then the leader needs to enter the queue by pushing the “Join as Group” button. Pickups are definitely frustrating, but I had a ball yesterday in Alterac as a guild. We almost won, pushing the alliance all the way back to the bridge by their base, but we just couldn’t cross it. Not without getting killed by the Alliance and their army of archers up in the towers.

    P.S. I miss playing with ya, Owlboy! Let me know if you ever have the urge to play on Frostwolf.

    There just ain’t enough horde to do a Guild run.

    Theoretically you could do it… but you need another 40 horde to open another instance, and when there already ain’t enough to open 2 instances, I am not better enough will magically appear if a guild tries to get in as a chunk of 40.
