Happy New Year everyone!

Just wanted to pop in here to give everyone a heads up to some fixes to Isle of Conquest which we’re deploying momentarily. This is mainly to fix the issue where players can deal significant damage to the Generals with the Glaive Thrower, but we also wanted to throw in some other tuning changes while we were at it.

• Fixed a bug where the Generals were taking too much damage from the Glaive Thrower’s “Blade Salvo” ability.
• The General’s “Dagger Throw” ability will now be a bit less lethal.
• The Generals will no longer reset their health to full when leashed.
• Repairing a Keep Cannon can no longer be interrupted from damage.
• Glaive Throwers health increased by 30%, and their damage done to players has been increased.

Thanks for your continued discussion and feedback, and we’re glad everyone is enjoying Epic Battlegrounds! We look forward to everyone being able to experience the return of Wintergrasp soon, as well as some other Epic Battleground surprises as we progress through Battle for Azeroth.

Thank You!

At lastComment by Filipse:( i just wish Battleground was actualy relevant in the eco-system of gearing again, all they give are useless honorpoints which doesnt give you any gear.

I miss the casual BG days, when rewards werent entirely down to RNG.Comment by BaneleafThe trolls that would stand at the top of the stairs to reset the bosses will now have to find something else to cause their team to rage. Also, no mention of the Horde air ship sitting in one place so they can unload on the gates with cannons. Until they fix this it will still be about an 80% horde win rate.Comment by Solstrike"players dealing extreme amounts of Generals with Glaive Throwers"

I'm imagining the glaive throwers launching a bunch of orcs at the keep instead of projectiles ? lolComment by deathlavitzwell if what Baneleaf says is true (i really havn't done it as alliance on my battlegroup doesn't win this). Its only going to be world of warcraft: the fall of the alliance as the next expac.Comment by WomboCombooWell, not for me, Epics never proc in my region.Comment by Fenril7Horde pretty much goes for Hangar 95% of the time on my battlegroup. So what does that tell how overpower the Hangar is?

I'm still waiting to hear some fixes on AV, since the horde turtles between IB GY and TP. Where the alliance has no way to stop them or turtle before they take SH Bunker. THe IB GY is too close to the chock point as I stated above, where SH GY is a ways from SH and IW Bunkers.

Nowadays it is a 95% lost on AV for the alliance. I know, alliance can't adapt to changes as fast as the horde, but still when I get the AV queue, I /afk 98% of the time or wait on the bridge for stealth and check the map, if horde has SH and IW bunkers really quickly....IT'S /AFK time.Comment by AlakeiThancanHorde pretty much goes for Hangar 95% of the time on my battlegroup.

Second, if you have 95% loss rate for the Alliance on Alerac Valley, you've definitely been to different battlegrounds than I have.Comment by FaelystiriFirst, if you AFK everytime you think your team might lose, you're the problem.

Actually enjoy the old AV and ranked up to Marshal in Vanilla, so it isn't like I enjoy /afking, but it is to the point that Alliance plays NO DEFENSE on my battlegroup. I am not going to waste 30+ minutes on a losing AV that was lost the first 5 minutes of the game.

Once the Alliance loses SH Bunker, then SH GY and then IW bunker, what's the point in staying? Horde usually keeps two-three people back at FW area and we never get those. Oh YEA, my favorite is when some jerk caps FW GY before RH. Happen two games in a row last week? You can't fix stupid.Comment by BananamansHorde pretty much goes for Hangar 95% of the time on my battlegroup. So what does that tell how overpower the Hangar is?
