Which is a good EU battlegroup?

[Kaynin]

I'm currently on Vindication, and it is starting to frustrate me really, I suck at dodging queues and I face the same teams (if they win) 5-10 times in a row. But I really want a shot at 1950 rating before WotLK so I can level in style! It just doesn't seem to be happening on Vindication. Only the best of the best are active in the 5v5. And I like to play arena quite a lot.

I'm doing arena now for two weeks, and two weeks about three months ago in s3, so I'm basicly in my fourth week. And altho my gear should get me somewhere, I beat most of the teams that are around my gear. Only losing to 2k+ rated teams at the moment or teams that are arund my rating with like a 15-0 win rating etc. (ie. new teams going for 2k+ :P ). There's no grey area on my battlegroup.

So, I'm looking around to migrate, at least for a month or so, or until WotLK. To see if I can find a battlegroup that's more fun to play. More diverse and active.

Don't think you'll find it much better on other battlegroups. Don't come Cyclone - it's very harsh. :)

My highest on Misery atm is about 1830. I dropped to 1790 again due to losing a few matches to the same team several times in a row.

But I cant really see why it wouldnt be possible to reach 1950+ on Misery, but it requires a lot of skill ofcoarse :)

[Kaynin]

Well, lets put skill aside a moment, is Misery 5v5 active then? Or do you often face the same team over and over? Because I think that is the biggest problem in Vindication. And I don't want to resort to playing solely on Tuesday when it is busy, I want to play everyday! :p

And although 1950 rating is my goal, a fun battlegroup would already make it tons better then I have now. I love my server, but arena is just frustrating. :P

Last saturday, 7pm, I was in the queue for 10 minutes, finally a team joined, they were 1900ish rating with a 85% win rating. Faced them 4 times, then I faced a new team, who's now at a 100% win rating and 1800ish rating for about 6 games. I faced many more of such teams. And in comparison, only a few teams that weren't 'supergeared'. And when I did, they usually just leave the queue. And I'm left with the good teams again. That won't be a problem much on a more active battlegroup, I imagine? D:

It's like, there is no competition unless you belong to the best of the best. Since 1500 rating will regularly meet 2k rating. (Like, 25% of the games I played had at least 350 rating diff. :P )

...You know, I think I'll just migrate. Can always change my mind after one month if it doesn't work out. And I doubt I'll get all the answers I want without just giving it a go. ... In which case, I'll need a fun server. :P

You could come try Rampage if you like, im on Twisting Nether. I say this coz i want to see if its just me sucking ass in arena or not :D I work my balls off but cant get above 1647 :P

Well, I just want an active battlgroup. :P One where you repeatedly face people around your own rating and not constant huge rating gaps. For more competative play.

If Rampage has it I'm probably willing to try. :P

do u guys still think that somewhere, somehow, there will be easy mode on 5v5 ?
common... gotta work hard!

I think you misinterpretted my intention!

I don't want easy mode. I want to face equal rating teams and not play against the same three teams all day long (Who happen to be either 300 rating lower or 300 rating higher than I am). :P

Vindication in EU is seriously undermanned. The 5v5 is only active on tuesday evenings and all other days it's just crap and bad pooling.

[merujo]

i dont think theres a good battlegroup with so many active 5v5 teams. the problem is 5v5. not that active teams playing always.

i did understood ur question :)

[iztehzha]

Cyclone.... Very active 5v5 community..

[Kaynin]

=O

Okay then. I'm definatly considering it. ^^

[magwo]

Cyclone is active but competitive.. maybe that's good. 1950 is a lofty goal on this BG.. you'll be up against the very best teams in europe.

[Kaynin]

Aye well, 1950 is my ultimate goal..

But firstly, I just want competative games and a decent pool of teams to fight against. :P

The only problem will be finding a good healer. I know just about everyone on the server I'm on now tho. But can't say the same for any of the Cyclone realms. xP

[Tizer]

I think every server would have plenty of good healers, not like they are server specific! You just have to make friends and give some of them a chance :D

Personally if you know loads of people then moving server would suck, i couldnt leave my server even if i tried :x
