PvP join as group

Hey. not new to boxing (been almost a year now :D ) but new to pvp i guess.
I dont normally pvp but i suffered the burn out trying to gain rep in only the 3 normal cata instances that alow rep (dont stand a chance in heroics right now)
Im also burnt out with questing and the thought of doing northrend for the 4th time this year gives me shivers

So i went into pvp solo for the last couple weeks and been having alot of fun and has been a great change from constant questing and instances.
So time to ad in another toon or two. going 3 max until im good enough to possibly ad the other two

Problem is when i select join as group the main toon just goes into a battleground solo, when i get the other to join they end up in another team.
How exactly am i supposed to get in these as one team? i thought 'join as group' was well, joining as a group :/

Ive looked around and what i find is that you have to whisp the leader to place you all in the same team, is this really the only way to do it, seems a bit of a carry on and wasting time.

What is the reason for whanting them in the same group? You know that with grid + custom frames u can get the healthbars for only Your team if thats what u whant. If its a case of getting into same group, try waiting untill there is like 10-15 seconds left on the queue pop then join.

I have seen something like this before on my team. I think its just a addon error or something as it went away when I did a reinstall of my OS when I did an update on my processor. wish I had better info for you on this. GL

*Edit*
Read your post wrong.

Not sure why your toons would not join as a group.
Verify it is not an addon.
Disable all your addons, and try to enter as a group.
Be sure you're grouped when you do this.

If it works...
Enable the top half of the addons.
To learn which half of your addons the issue is in.
Then enable/disable half of the portion the issue is in.

If it doesn't work.
Try deleting your Cache folder

Possibly rename your WTF folder after that.
Which is all your saved variables.
You'll ideally want to restore most of those, so don't delete it.

You could try the repair utility.
Not sure if that would find anything.

I believe the OP is referring to the fact that when you join a battleground all your characters are not in the same "group" like when you're grouped in the world at large. Lol bad english is bad?

You cant force your toons to end up in the same group in battlegrounds unless you do rated battlegrounds with a complete raidgroup. The best chance to have them in one group is to join the BG as late as possible. I usually join BGs in the last 3-5 seconds and most of the time 4 toons end up in group 8 and one in group 7 (I do AV most of the time).

Grid and Custom Layouts, can display your toons together.
This will place your toons in Column one always.
And the rest of the raid in columns two through eight.
With an alphabetical sort on the whole thing, except that your five are the only ones in the left-most column.

ToonA,ToonB,ToonC,ToonD,ToonE;NAME
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8;5/8;NAME;NR


But if the raid leader says:
Groups 1-2: Galv > Backcap Stonehearth
Groups 3-4: Galv > IBT > Burn It > Frost Wolf Keep
Groups 5-6: Galv > TP > Burn It > Frost Wolf Keep
Groups 7-8: Reserve Hut & East/West Towers.

You cannot force your toons to be in the same group.

ops, thought you had issues where your whole team actually wasn't queuing for the bg or they weren't taking the party leader's battleground queue.

agree with you that it is a bit frustrating when I took my original pve setup into a battleground, but it also necessary and unavoidable from blizzards standpoint.

my bets are that you are having issues with @party# based macros for healing / cc breaks / or party leader targeting. If this is the case, look into focus assist targeting for dps and "targetexact" function for your assisting another toon. Hope this helps.

Happy pvp'in

Ive always used Assist focus on all my macros
The alts dont do anything when there not in the same team

When i click join as group the option to enter pops up on my mains window. i accept and the main leaves the group to join the BG
Nothing happens on slave windows.
I will try disable addons see if that helps

Im using grid to monitor my team, not for healing yet as thats all macro'd on the razor naga (target focus) or (taget=alt name)


EDIT: Ok Disabled jamba on both systems and now they all join a BG :/ guess i messed up jamba setting somewhere.

sounds to me like you're using something different that what everyone else uses lol :)
