Remove Mines in AV

[Anamolly]

Greetings,

I dont really care if it was blizzlike or not! These landmines prevent anything from happening in AV.

Its just boring turtle games all over. At least 15 people are afk which i cant even blame them for.
The number of played AVs decreased since the mines got implemented. People are just farming rep and then never enter agian.

In order to make the BG enjoyable agian i highly recomment to remove all landmines.

Posts like this are why Blizzard headed down the long road of changing things to please subscribers. Luckily Nostalrius doesn't have paying subscribers and can do whatever they want.

Unless I'm missing something, preserving the original vanilla experience is the whole point of this server.

Im afraid you miss something, many things have been customized allready to either please the community or put restrictions on goldgain. Another good example might be the ban of multi Q to AV, even thought it was allowed by blizzard back then.
The reasons dont really matter however what matters is that these things are all nonblizzlike. The Devs can surely do what they want and i dont think everything thats nonblizzlike has to be bad by definiton.

With these intended custom changes the servers goal is either missed or just not beeing as blizzlike as it was 10 years ago.
If you dont believe me have a look on the pvp forum (queue system ) or the threads about DM north.

Thats why i really vote and hope for the mines to be removed.

Nah, I'm not missing anything.

PS - I vote for keeping the mines.

This is exactly what ruined retail wow, mediocre backpaddling casuals like yourself.
Neither does Nostalrius staff care for your opinion, server will remain this way and only strongest will survive, while casuals will quit the game long before next patch!

Well said sir HerbalJoe!

The actual problem here is 2 bugs:

1. Mine Layer and Explosive Expert should not respawn once killed.
2. Some Landmines should not respawn once Mine Layer and Explosive Expert died.

Evidence for both are linked on the bugtracker. but who knows what respawn time we will get. Also Landmines are invisible at 50% of the place... Why is that?

Landmines are like hunter traps : they use a Stealth mechanic. Rogues can see it thanks to their passive ability, other class cannot, or just sometimes from just a few yards.

Fixing the Bugs might also make it more enjoyable because by killing the Mine Layer and triggering the mines afterwards gives you some progress.

For me the striking point is that people are obviously not enoying these AVs since they are afk(sometimes up to 20 people). So rather than punishing the AFK people, which wont be impossible anyways due to the lack of detection, i suggest to not focus on fixing the symptoms but the reason.

Which is either fix the respawn times at least (see Glas post) or just remove the mines from the game.

Also i want to remind some of you that we re inside the "suggestion" part of the forums, so im not that much into crying but more into making a suggestion about how the server could be improved for everyone from my point of view..

I can live with the mines staying ingame since im done with rep soon, however i'd just love to see for the community and for the server that AV becomes a battleground once agian and isnt just a place where you go when you got to afk anyways.

AV will be so diffeerent with all those bugs getting fixed. I think they are fixing them and we need to wait for an update.
