Judgement fail (Children’s week)

Like many other people I’m finding the battleground (BG) part of the achievement a chore, a pain and no fun at all.

Let’s see, someone at Blizz thought “we need to get more people into the BGs to make them tick over faster, get them to experience PvP and then they’ll love it”. As other people have commented, if this was my first experience of BGs and PvP I wouldn’t be back.

The mechanics of the battles are broken because everyone is focusing on grabbing that flag (etc etc), not actually fighting the BG, it’s annoying the newbugs, it’s annoying the hardcores and it’s annoying those who occasionally dabble.

Blizz… score card… -10/10

Progression

Is on the slow side generally at the moment as the guild is even more short handed than normal. So ‘wolf has been largely on the bench just in case a guild tank is needed. On the plus side Unferth has been stretching his legs, providing healing in another stack of instances on Saturday.

AN : More trouble than before, the dps race on the first boss pack was just too much for him to handle on his own, fortunately the boomkin was a wonderful person who flipped to tree for the first boss. We got mashed on Hadronox but that’s because she bugged and we had to pull with all the adds as well. No problems on the second (clean) pull though. On the plus side kitty form kit dropped.

UP : He healed UP without any problems. Took two passes at Skaldi, but he’s a sod anyway and it was the first time the tank had tried tanking that boss.
