Fix Alterac Valley; NPCs too weak - Forums - World of Warcraft this is back from 2012... And no they didnt fix anything that they '''promised'
do you really think those mongoloids are capable of ''downgrading mobs'' down 40 levels correctly ? All the original devs that had worked on WoW classic are long gone and you are left with retards like ghostcrawler( who is also, thankfully gone) who cant get their devs to work on something so simple like classic AV

As I said, it's complicated, but essentially in order to make the bosses appropriate difficulty at level 90, they have to be either very strong or very weak at level 85. We went with the latter. Check them out at level 90 and see if they feel better.
Could you take a few minutes to address the concerns in the main post as well please? AV just isn't fun now and if things stay the way they are looking to stay based on the beta - won't be fun for Mists. I think a lot of players all over the world would really appreciate it.
There are two big relevant topics for Alterac Valley. One is that the BG is scary to work on. What I mean is that it was super ambitious, probably over ambitious, for when we released it. It is probably the single most complicated design in WoW in terms of how it was built. Some days I am surprised it works at all. Brave designers run in terror when they peer into the dark recesses of AV to try and figure out a bug or even dare to hope to understand how many of its complicated parts work. We've known for a long time that AV needs to be rebuilt. The good news is that we have many more powerful tools these days. While they still aren't as complex as AV, the new BGs took a fraction of the time to build. I think we could rebuild AV with less duct tape and baling wire these days, which in turn would make it a lot more reasonable for us to test out changes.
I'm sorry I can't burrow into every single suggestion, but I do like the idea of turning the (non-scaling) trinket into a tabard. We do appreciate all of the feedback. We really do pay attention to it.

Ha... very cool read.
hardcore txt scripting <3
Manually balance it for 8 brackets is way too much to ask for.

If we get a new one it will be EotS. Unfortunately, it is a strategic map like AB. Which means most people will be fighting away from the flags.
Going to be very frustrating to solo queue EotS. I foresee many rage quits in it's future if it makes it to the "20-29" bracket.

The reasons I believe AV is a possibility are:
1)Battlegrounds need more played time ( evidenced by the including random BG finder at low levels)
2)Level 20s and up have mounts ( its no longer 2 much terrain to transverse)
3)Mobs would not have to be downgraded but rather players could simply scale up ( if you ever played never winter you would understand)
4)It was already downgraded to have a 45-49 bracket which I'm sure is dead
5) the merging of 20-29s imply that they want to introduce a battleground that requires more players
