running AB and WSG

[maxcom]

Any tips for getting tokens to these? I'm so sick of getting blamed for the loss! I take a node and tell em to D, they follow me... I go for the flag, they all follow me mounted while I get AOEd. I dont have a guild (i like my 4 guild tabs) so PUGing it is the only way to go.. any tips? I'm about to run them one at a time from all the bashing... :(

Just keep at it man :/ the good runs more than make up for the bad runs. I got yelled at by some nub on my server who said that I was botting and destroying the realms reputation. We then proceeded to five cap lol. Don't run them one at a time, you have a right to play as many as you want at a time :) just respond to the nice/inquisitive people and ignore the rest and enjoy your pewpew

I have issues in WSG too. though AB I get a high win rate. not real had tactics just go round with your 1 man zerg to every enemy held point and take it. usualy the followers you get will cap the flags while you nuke the enemy down, means u can get mounted and move to the next nice and quick too :)

Just keep playing, if ur 70, when u got good gear, people will be glad to have u in their party. When i enter a Wsg, ussually its the normal, WTF?! + omg bot.. comments, but as soon as i onehit the alliance flagcarrier, and aoe down the rest of the alliance team, they ussualy gets quiet. =)

Hehe I got a healbot following me around healing me cause he thought I was so awesome. Little did he know I though HE was awesome :D personal healbots are ftw

AB can be hit or miss. Sometimes you get people you can work with, sometimes you don't. Part of it is opposing team make up, part of it is your own team, and part of it is how well they know how to counter a boxer.

WSG, you're just screwed. Best I ever managed to do was grab the flag, run back with it, and hope your team mates can get yours back, or one of your team mates will take the flag from you when you get it back to your base so you can go get your flag back. Never had much luck with that. Many time, 3-4 of the other players would just follow me around, and when I would drop the flag to go retrieve ours, they just stand there until it despawns and the other team caps. Think I went 1 and 27.

To make it bearable, I only ever earned 5 non-AV tokens a day when I was doing my PvP grind.

In WSG i ussually dont bother getting the alliance flag (im horde) i just w8 in the middle, dooing some ganking, when the flag carrier comes, i burst him down. For AB, i ussualy take LM or Mine, depending on where my team8's go, i have a few friends that like to pvp with me (to get some laughts), so we tend to say that we got mine, so no other horde rush it. :D

One tip for AB is flags flags flags.

I box with all 4 of my shammies in there, and often if I'm just vs 1 at a flag trying to cap it, I click on the flag so it starts chanelling on all 4 of the chars... If its an enemy who has no AOE, they can normally never work out which one of your alts is still trying to cap after they've attacked one or two. I just let them beat on me till it caps, then take them out after.

I learnt this from bitter experience of leaving it too long to cap after I'd cleared out a flag area of enemies, starting to cap, then getting the res wave. The res wave doesn't come if you cap quick enough.

Oh yes the people following you around in a bg, SO annoying, im trying to keep towers capped, people keep on following, I run back to check the relief hut's flag, ow its getting capped, hmm. Just to late, kill the druid/rogue thats capping, and recap. And the people that where also at frostwolf keep gawking around me going 'bot' 'lol' 'zomg' and not doing anything to help or be of some use. That really gets my blood cooking.

In AB i got comments why there where so much people at LM, ok then ill go cap farm, second thing the guy does is go banana's about a lm thats not defended. The ignore function <3.

Main priority is grab yourself 5 or10 ppl that you like to play with and do a premade, set your tactics and build on losses by improving said tactics. It immediately eliminates any problems regarding player discontent, because they all feel like they are contributing to what can be a "failproof" win.

otherwise if you feel that you are getting too much grief, you could run a two box, it will take twice as long, and your 2vx win rate will plummet but they can't blame you for a loss then :) will take longer to get all the marks tho, so i would suggest premades

[Los]

Wasnt it for fact that most guilds that run premadesa are complaining about very very long wait lines. Dno if that will increase your mark count at this point :).

I highly recommend (since I wrote it myself) reading the suggestions I make at this blog entry:

Battleground Multibox Strategies ('http://overload.clintandcindi.com/?p=53')

Also, I have gotten better at WSG since then, so there's an WSG update here. ('http://overload.clintandcindi.com/?p=65')

One thing I'll caution you about is that I think both these BGs can be rough if your teammates are strategically challenged...

I got a tip for wsg.

Keep at it in midfield and force your fellow players to do the flagrunner. In midfield you can force having control quite a bit. It's where you should be. Keep your eyes open, don't let your flag get past. Midfield defense is the best defense for a multiboxer. :P
