Why do buffs dissapear?

[DetErMegJostein]

Does anybody know why buffs keep dissapearing when entering battlegrounds? Or is this just an EU thing?

 

[inoobupro]

hasnt that been going on since MoP?

im sure its just blizzard mongoloids catering to the majority as usual because ''hurr we cant have outside buffs because its unfair to the retards'' so lets remove them arena style

They do not always disapear though so its likely that its a bug. We need more bug reports

Talked to people on US and they've never come across this



Some EU players too tho

I've experienced this since probably the last major patch that affected BG's. It's been a few months I think.
Food, elixir, scroll, spell and even novelty buffs (the beer helmet as well as the stamina toast, i.e.) are consistently removed when entering or exiting a BG.
I would guess that this is not a bug but an initial step in the coming leveling for PvP. I'm in the US.

Anyone know why?

I noticed it happens EVERYTIME I join a bg since patch 6.2. I'm on US

In my experience, buffs are only disappearing on my newer alts (elixirs and food buffs) with the exception of wizard oil.
All of my other twinks, which are at minimum 2+ years old, retain their buffs.

They disappear on my 3 year old warrior too

Even water/lightning shield is removed. It is even removed on my endgame vanilla toon. Nothing to do with age of toon.
I am sure it is a coding issue. All buffs are reset for rBGs and arenas. Probably something to do with putting everyone on "equal footing" since the merc mode. Or an easy/dirty fix for Blizzard. Just easier to get rid of ALL buffs instead of finding the problem ones. Lol...

Lol poisons get removed cuz it's an "unfair buff"

I just told you. It has something to with the mercenary mode. It was probably easier for Blizzard to fix it with a sledge hammer than it was for them to fix it with a scalpel. So they grabbed the hammer and BAM!! No more buffs.

Potions/food buff disappear due to level change.
If you are level x9 and join/exit x0-x9BG, buffs would not disappear.
If you are level x0-x8 and join/exit x0-x9BG,buffs would disappear.
