AV xp nerf in 3.2.2

[blast3r]

Personally I don't think this is something to quit over because we never had XP in BGs before they just introduced it. But that is just me as people can do whatever they like. I guess I will just grind a bit longer and have twice the gear I normally would have got.

You guys crack me up.

Oh noes! They nerfed my fast track to 80 method! I quit! (even though it was introduced only a few months ago, and I played without it for years without complaining!!!)

Being a multiboxer you already have the fast track on almost everything.. LFG? Nope, instant groups. Professions? Nope, if you spread them out, you've got access to everything you need. Gold? Nope, you can make an arse ton in a few minutes of dailies. Hell, if you boost you can level up a new team really quick.

Seriously.... the QQ'ing needs to stop. You guys quiting over AV XP changes need a reality check.

I wish they didn't lower it because I wanted the fast track but this still opens up a way to grind some xp to help avoid doing some quests you don't want to do.

Does anyone know if the 71-79 bracket gives less honor than the 80 bracket?

I would not be too hasty to assume you'll end up with twice as much honor now that it takes twice as long to level up.

To me big deal bout the nerf. Honestly now leveling from 64 to 80 in av is still less painfull then questing and collection quests. I c it as now i will deff have alll my gear when i hit 80 and be able to jump right into av which will be wicked nice to be able to do. Just gotta start levling professions now. At least enchanting on one toon.

Rats .... AV was so much funner then grinding.

Well if its like 35 percent thats not so bad if we get 65 percent of the exp we had.

Splitting out the 80's seems wise though, I felt I wasn't doing much at 73 to help out my team win.

How hard is it to boot someone who dosn't move for 60 seconds? Everone I see who is playing is moving almost constantly. Just have a 60 seconds boot timer. That might hurt boxers mostly but hey how hard is it to hit a arrow key every 60 seconds?

People quiting were planing to quit anyways ....

Honor was reduced by the same margin.

Your missing the point. It was fun to lvl up a team via pvp, who cares about all the other shit you mentioned. It was fun, a shit ton better than questing 71-80. Maybe blizzard needs to look at the game itself and maybe wonder why people wanted/liked to lvl in pvp instead of just trashing it completely. I dont think anyone dislikes the bracket/inactive changes its the XP in general, they just made it more of a grind. I wonder if they kept the xp the same if more games would pop and thus quiet the dissent.

I didn't get to experience the 71-80 AV run, so I'm a bit bummed I missed out. On the other hand, I guess I'm lucky that I won't have first-hand experience of what I'm now missing.

I agree that crying over the 35% reduction of EXP is lame, but... It's worth mentioning, that's not the only nerf that AV took.

AV will not start until all 80 people are ready to join, which means games will take longer to start. Less EXP means less people are going to queue. No 80s in the bracket means there's an even smaller potential pool for candidates, since we don't have a lot of the honor grinders Queueing for our Exp bracket. Those all combined are going to create majorly slow queue times.

What used to be like a 2-5 minute queue is probably upwards to 20-30+ minutes now.

I don't think I'll bother queueing, personally. My main desire to AV exp, aside from the increased speed, was the lovely gold I'd get going back and doing various quests I was able to skip. haha. But with Relic shoulders/chest and full rested exp, I think that just questing will be less of a headache.

Not to mention the AFK debuff thing. 2 minutes of auto follow on your toons, and they're going to be ejected from AV now with a deserter debuff. Yucko.

Huh?

When get afk flagged, you have 60 seconds to get into combat, or get booted. Hitting the arrow keys will not stop the timer.

The only complaint that I have about the afkers is that they take up valuable spots that can help your team win. I welcome this new change as all you need is mouse broadcasting. Simply open up the map on all the toons, broadcast a right click on the cave dwellers, then select all, and broadcast a left click. I report everybody that stays in the cave shortly after the battle begins, and it seems to be very effective at removing them rather quickly.

this is correct. No bot/auto-clicker program will save you now. Once your flagged you have 60 seconds to hit an opposing player or your booted with 15min deserter. This is a great change imho as boxers we can flag anyone we want right away. Dont piss off the boxer in BGs. ;p
