How is the Bracket these days? ~McGriddle

[Mcgriddle]

I have been away from this bracket, for a little over a year now. after playing 19s for about 4 years i walked away after the battlegroup merge. due to terribly unbalanced teams. And lack of familiar faces =(. i would like to know if this is still the case. and if any1 i played with for those 4 years are still around. (Ruin / BGbad/ Cyclone). and how games are these days.

Plenty of pops, plenty of bads, and if you start playing again you'll find familiar faces again ^^

As for H-A win ratio's, I'm not sure tbh.

 

[Dramatized]

Big imbalance still, BGs popping fast, many F2P-"twinks".

19s are worse now than a year ago. So if you disliked it then, you'll hate it now. Also, Warriors are quite boring now, as several of their abilities have been taken away. That said, just come back for on a free trial of some sort and check it out for yourself.

No you wont like 19's... There are no familiar faces from ruin or bgbad period... Youl rake your eyes out after just about every game.

They're awful, you could of just asked me that. Ily tho

19s are more awful now than ever. We used to joke about op hunters, but they keep getting better and better. Last night I was in a game that exemplifies the state of the bracket:



Horde: 6 hunters, 3 druids, 1 rogue.

Alliance: 7 hunters, 2 rogues, 1 priest.



Guess who won.

 

[Mcgriddle]

oh lol thanks for the update i see a couple of familiar faces in this thread =). selm and QT Reflexes and oasis if your the same priest. i guess ill stick to end game for now. =/

Go 70, closest thing to classic 19 twinking nowadays imo.

 

[allahkazam]

70s is like 19 with resilience and easy pvp gear. same amount of shitty players that have no idea what to do in a BG that made their 70 for the free purple gear.

 

[Hurrx]

I still have a fun time in a bg, I try to get a couple in everyday, much more and you can easily get bored with it, the competition is fine, alot of people getting back into it, and alot of new people getting into it, i often have more fun in a loosing bg than a winning one. neither faction wins all the time, there's just too many people twinking for one faction to roll hero twinks every bg, other than imbalance 19's are good

i strongly disagree, u rage in every bg cause 7/10 of your team is f2p/shitty geared or just cant play. also like someone else mentioned in another thread the shitty geared ones usually have some kinda weird attitude not willing to be game oriented but prefering to kill that warlock with 500 hp.



edit: oh and im eu it might be different in us

Yep, trial accounts no longer have any gametime restriction, so some people thought it'd be a great idea to make free twink accounts since they can level up to 20. The bad thing is:



The following restrictions are placed on all Starter Edition Accounts:



- A level cap of 20.

- A maximum of 10 gold.

- Trade skills are capped at 100 ranks.

- Unable to trade via the Auction House, mailbox, or player-to-player.

- In-game access to public chat channels unavailable. Players are limited to communicating using only say, party, or whisper.

- Characters will be unable to create or join guilds.

- Characters are not able to send whispers to other characters unless they have been added to the characters' friends lists or have received a whisper from a character first.



And more.

Just did a 19 BG on my 19 warrior, its pretty sad haha like they capped us (with their 5 hunters) and then people just started to AFK out, i think in all 10 players AFK'ed out before it was over, and the BG was over in less than 15 min...
