Got some honor but not enough for the next piece, even with the 700 I had saved.

I normally love my Dungeons & Dragons sessions, but kind of sucks to have an all day thing on AV weekend Saturday.
Still Sunday and Monday will be a lot of games.

- Bloodthirsty Gladiator's Dragonhide Legguards (2,200 Honor)

Will go a little beyond the AV Weekend for the legs, very close but not quite there yet.
Won't stop until I have them, however.



Revised Stats

[karuga87]

going great atm must be about a 80% win rate so the AV's treating the alliance just fine, im getting kitted out in no time this weekend

[Littleburst]

I'd say get 2 pieces of bloodthirsty for the 400 resi bonus.

I played 1 and lost it on the shams @ lvl 81. Endless HKfarm, quite amusing, but horde failed quite hard. Also One slave is honor capped, but you need to be 85 to be able to buy 85 gear :/

[ebony]

level 65-70 all good lost about 50% of games had some close calls and some great games.

just got

Fire is so fun players just go boom!

[Vociferate]

Fuck I was doing great. I played 17 games, and lost only once. I leveled from 71-75 in about 8 hours. Was smooth sailing for me.

Now to see how I do in the 75-79 bracket. That's where it will be interesting.

Very frustrating ...
No clue how many games I've played, but a rough gamble is 20% win vs 80% loss. It feels like that at least. Got the trinket (+300 res) first, then the shoulders, legs, and chest. Sitting at 2k res now. I used to have a win ratio of over 70% in AV, from over 1k battles played. Never seen the horde performing like this in over a year. A see a few reasons:

- the amount of complete utter morons, really have no words for them ... they kill a bg with their stupidity in chat. I never see them in the many bg's I play every day on my main shaman. Seems like AV holiday weekend attracts them. The RLOL, HAHAH, NOOB, PWN, L33T, anal, etc all the time. It's unbelievable. I don't know what it is with these guys, but I can't recall anyone who was behaving like this when I was young. There should be a law that would forbid them to reproduce themselves. If there was a vote possible in bg, they'd be kicked every single time. Thinking about it ... those are the guys that gonna have to work to pay my pension in the future. Guess I'll need to rob a couple of banks to be save.

- the map that favors the alliance in such a way that it's no longer fun. If 2 equals groups go to the respective bases, horde bunkers are capped 30s before DB bunkers. If not more. They can basically skip every mob in our base and cap 2 bunkers. We get a shitload of annoying birds, rams, and little dwarves on our way once past icewing bunkers. They dismount u if you are unlucky, and you basically stay in combat till the bridge. No fucking clue why, and then the archers start to nuke u. And you haven't killed the dude before the left DB bunker. On normal AV's, this doesn't play a big role, but the way the Call tA AV's are played it's decisive. I've lost at least 15 AV's where we have 3-500k HP left on boss this weekend.

- Tol barad screwed the normal way of getting gear. Some players where geared in a few days, from spending less than an hour in total. Those players run around in gear they would never have. But that goes for both sides.

Best one just happened while I wanted to reply to this as my queue just popped. This more or less tells everything about my AV weekend.

[Kromtor]

i miss the old days when my rets would be top on healing done from divine storm spam
that being said, cranked out a shitload of honor this weekend and hated every minute of it

Don' complain about the AV map favouring Alliance, there have already been a few reviews by neutral parties claiming it favoured horde. And I saw balinda 3 manned the other week. Galv shits on her for dmg output and reset capabilities.

The FW keep has it's own npcs that pat around, and they can be avoided in the same way that horde can take the east path then jump back over the ridge near SP GY. THEN, you have the FW base GY, far from the entrance to the bosses room. This makes it an easy target for stealth recaps cos all the alliance are sitting on the retard hill waiting for the "ALL IN" command, whereas horde all sit outside Vann's room, but that is right on top of the flag.

[valkry]

Also, just from that screenie I can see a ally rogue has 4 tower defends. 1 player CAN turn the tide of the battle, especially if they spend most of the game defending points which need to be destroyed to take on the last boss.

[Kicksome]

I've had a rough AV weekend. I got a lot of gear, but we lost a lot. Horde was just more organized. Tons of alliance bots, and clueless players.

I think since alliance has instant q's people on alliance are a LOT more apt to not try very hard and just let them win if we fall behind.

When you wait 20 minutes, you try a LOT harder to win the BGs.

It's been a lot of fun though, had some awesome games. learned how to play my 4x dk's and holy pally a whole lot better.

I got to play vs some mutliboxing shamans and locks, locks, were brutal! Hellfire just chewed me up.
