Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

I played an epic AV last night, and I have to say it now seems to feel like the epic battle that Blizzard intended it to be back in Vanilla. So, kudos to the devs - fixes seem to be about right.

That game I played lasted about 2.5 hours, and involved a tight battle between Horde and Alliance, with several things each side summoned to try to get an advantage. First Ram Riders broke through Horde's defences, then Wolf Riders trashed Alliance defences, then Alliance summoned druids (which got eaten by the still-alive wolf riders), and all the while one by one towers were eventually falling. Both sides started on boss (with only 1 add up each side), and - eventually - Alliance won by gambling and starting on Drek before they had either FWGY or RH, and they only barely got him down. Both sides used strategy well and it was a very close game.

This is the way it's supposed to be. If you are looking for a quick trip to exalted with short rush-to-the-general games, then you should be playing retail. If you are stuck in a never-ending turtle, then it means neither team is working to achieve strategic goals. Use your stealthers as a team to gain an advantage.

So I actually have to say - good job devs on the fixes.

Thank you! Someone else who agrees.

agree, i was in that game and it was awesome. The full AV experience

+1!

if you want to farm honor go make wsg/ab premade.

If you want to have fun, play AV as it should be played

And if you want AV rep? Turtling is more effective for rep farm than rushing often.

No.... no it isn't.

Disagree. A full day of rush AV's during AV weekend = Exalted.

Outside of the bonus weekend, yeah, sure, turtling might be more effective. But 10-15m wins still nets fast rep if it's consistent.
