Horde back door in Alterac Valley

[Tiqqer]

Holy fuck, I am so happy I got exalted with AV before this.

On the other hand, HOLY FUCKING HELL! I can't revile that NOST team listened to the whining!

Ally can literally pass all horde defences and nobody is doing anything about it.

This place is going to the shitters sooner than expected.

Really? Last time this kind of qq thread was around they added more mines, and now they fixed it completely? So when are horde getting bunkers, Paladins and a big fat binky?

[snawfu]

The quests Korrak the Bloodrager (Alliance), Korrak the Everliving (Alliance), The Legend of Korrak (Horde), and The Return of Korrak (Horde) have been removed from the game. The rewards for the initial quest involving Korrak have been moved and can be acquired by completing the quest associated with winning a match in Alterac Valley. We realize that some players may have had the Korrak quest and never completed it. These players may have already completed the quest for killing the General and thus might not be able to benefit from the rewards from the previous quest line. We have opted to add an extra quest step at the end of the General kill quests to reward players that fall under such conditions.

Mines are still rocking AV badly and they should have been gone by now too.

If the horde send 10 competent people (mages/hunters/whatever) to defend the choke at IBGY even a fully geared coordinated 40 man ally group will wipe at that choke no matter what.

If the horde send 10 competent people (mages/hunters/whatever) to defend the choke at IBGY even a fully geared coordinated 40 man ally group will wipe at that choke no matter what.

The original design of the game was more or less structured by giving each side different advantages and disadvantages.
Alliance's first base, Stonehearth Bunker is terribly bad situated for defence, practically in the middle of the field with nothing but the few mines before it. Likewise SHGY and IWB dont have any real barrier protecting them. On the opposite end, the horde would get the chokepoint advantage for their first tower and gy, and a better concentration of units.

The compensation would be for the deeper base. After FWGY, the village and keep areas aren't too difficult to bypass for Alliance, while the bridge of Dun Baldar and the decent firing range from the bunkers would make it much easier for Alliance. I think what people find annoying is that due to the design flaws in the Dun Baldar ledges, Horde can largely invalidate this part. For argument's sake, it'd be more or less if you could climb from the Field of Strife to the rez area of IBGY, invalidating the Horde's map advantage.

It is what it is.

Thank God they fixed that shit. It is flat out exploiting and not Blizzlike.
