User talk:Talgar/Alterac Valley Suggestions

I know the older versions of AV were a bore to many people, seen just as a mindless back and forward between two lumbering forces. The majority of my time spent there was something quite different. I was involved in ninjaing and strikes, defences and assaults, some truly memorable times.

Below IB's spawn point with a few others, a force of 5-6 times our number jumping almost right over our heads, before we struck at IB. Plucking War riders out of the horde's base and soloing them (pallies ftw :) ). Leading a force back across our bridge into Dun Baldur, to throw the Horde off their newly turned flag all the way back to FW. Taking 10 mins to kill Galvannar, because our PuG could only spare 4-5 of our 20 away from IB-and not losing that IB against the fury of the Horde. That 1st time you realise that Slidore has arrived, when he knocks 6+ Horde off the FW flag. Being saved by Vipore, when he knocks 2 horde over the fence in Frostwolf Village(the fall killed one of them).

And fighting people who knew the map! A druid who kited everything to Galvannar(1st time I realised what he was doing was when a Lt. bugged out in Galves room...Galv spammed us with his aggro/deaggro speeches), The Warlock who I dubbed bunker buster for his efforts and the Mage who knew how to kill Wing Commanders, on the ground or in the air. Good times.

Such things are why I, and many others, miss the old AV(s). I can understand why people want to rush it or AFK, and that is why I want to reconcile that element in future games. Its just truly such a shame that so much content and potential have fallen by the wayside.

I hope that one day again I can be part of an unstoppable force, stand as one with many as an immovable object, because that was the point of the battlefield, not the purple coloured objects of the same name. Rant over :). Pallies with IBS!--Talgar 04:35, 21 April 2007 (EDT)
