Hi guys

I'm currently stuck on the worst PvP battle group for Alliance.

Now, I'm planning on moving to a new battle group, still with Alliance. Does anyone know of any Battle Group/server that does well in PvP on Alliance side?

I'm only moving due to the pathetic PvP status of Blade's Edge server and Glutsturm Battle group. Alliance basically never wins anything which makes getting gear a little frustrating.

Plix anyone? :D
 
Uh, battlegroups are pretty much obsolete. When you queue for bgs all eu realms are in the same queue now.
 
You'll find the same thing on horde side. What I do to ease the pain is get a couple guildies on vent and we go tear s**t up.

The reason why Allies mostly suck so badly is because horde outnumbers them ALOT. So the pool with which you can get skilled players is alot less than it is on horde side.

While that may be true, on my server (Blade's Edge) the Alliance out number the Horde :p Not by much, but they do. Yet we almost never have control of Tol Barad and BG's are painful >.<

Think what he meant is that PVP active players the horde out number the alliance. Horde just seem to be the preferred faction for serious PVP. BG's is all about organisation (or if you do it a lot, imprinted tactics) the horde just seems to do this a lot better than alliance. If you look at the gear level of the people playing in BG's you will notice that alliance is almost always lower geared.
This have carried over for years now, and the better alliance players focus on the premade or rated BG systems, and in this bracket alliance seems to have the edge.

Ah cool. I'm low gear as well, but that's because it takes forever to get honour due to Alliance always losing :p Vicious circle, I tell you! lol
 
A lot of generalising here. I have horde and alliance characters. My main characters are alliance. I have a undead shadow priest on the same realm and take great pleasure in occasionally logging over to horde for some BG action when I see in guild chat they are organising a guild BG. At least twice I been in the same BG :)

The number of times horde and alliance win seems pretty even to me. On weekends, horde tend to have the upper hand in TBthough. Most days in the week TB is in alliance hands.
 
I can confidently say, that in the last 3 days, I've seen about 5 wins in BG's while I've been farming it like mad to get some gear. And people on the Alliance side don't rant and rave about it...it's like it is completely normal for them. Very annoying and a lot frustrating.
 
Just a question, Method. When playing BG's, are you against German players or English players?

I know when BG's where still for battlegroups, we were usually playing against German servers, and they took PvP a lot more serious. I don't know if that has been changed with BG's no longer fixed to battlegroups.
 
No idea, to be honest. I'm guessing we're on the same battle groups so people will be from all the servers on the Battle group from both Horde and Alliance.

I'm thinking Alliance is a bunch of PvE whores and when it comes to PvP they don't care :p
 
Emberstorm/Glutsturm is a combination of English and German realms. In BG's, you were never teamed up with Germans, but you are often teamed against them.

I think that's why players from Blade's Edge tends to lose BG's, both on Alliance and Horde, as boored mentioned in this thread.

Someone did mention once that when playing against the Germans, they tend to give up when they are losing. I've seen it with WSG when we managed to quickly get the first capture. When that happened, we managed to get the other 2 without too much trouble. You do need a good group for that though, so premade groups seems to be the way to go.
 
Join horde, go stack for easy wins. Thats what the rest of the hordies do :D
 
I don't think Alliance suck in PvP. Most good PvPs just couldn't care less to do BGs at all, what a waste of time.

For example I spend most of my time raiding, but I do take care to play at least 5 arena matches a week, because its the easiest way of getting a weapon whilst waiting for the raid ones to drop, and some fun while taking a break from raiding, whereas bgs just aint no fun.

Why should I waste my time in BGs when I can get it all from a few arena matches.

I agree with you there, but to get the gear to do an arena match you need to have some honour and being on a PvE server it's hard to gank people for honour :D
 
Heh, we just stomped arena with PvE gear and bought Arena gear :)

Although I will admit early on we abused the 2k honor bug from BH so my 1st character did have that slight advantage.
 
I can prolly do that as well, if I can get someone willing to group with me in my PvE gear (I don't raid at all anymore so don't have raid gear :p)
 
It would be nice if you could get honor from Tol Barad badges, like you could with Wintergrasp. That was how I managed to grind honor in LK.
 
Last night I joined a BG (WSG) and Alliance won! :eek: So I didn't do any more BG's after that, just in case :D lol
