Tenacity sucks if you don’t have it. =)

Just last night I got the joy of trying to assault the towers…we ran into a defense team of 3 or 4 hordies — oh, excuse me, we ran into Tenacity. =)

I’ll say it again — tenacity needs to be tuned so that the buff works based on the numbers in a given fight, not on the numbers on the two sides.

And Spoon — WG -*IS*- a joke. =) A bad one at that. Which is quite sad really. It had such potential.

@M_Blackbird: Why does that seem so…right?

This is the easy way out imo, i really liked that you could have 500 people in the zone and have a huge fight.

This will change nothing for horde on my server, we are lucky to have a small 3rd raid at peak times, wheres the allis always outnumber us atleast 2:1, much more in prime time.

So this change will atleast let us fight them without 5+ tenacity every time, and getting lagged to death on the last wall.

I wish they found a way to get that many plyers into the zone though, tenacity did its job, and the huge battles are awesome to see.

I think the blizz development meeting was:

- If you can’t do what you promised… just do anything stupid… it might work!
- Yeah, we can do WG a BG… but not a BG… but almost… eh… nevermind…
- Hey! If only a few people can play WG at the same time, there will not be lag anymore!
- No, no,no… I have a great idea! Listen to me! We promised outdoor PVP… right? OK, but we haven’t said how many people can play there at the same time.
- OMG! We just have to close WG to players and only a few chosen can fight!
- Great!!! We’ll make it. And… has anyone got any idea on brand new content?
- Mm…
- Er…
- So… maybe recolor old murlocs’ skins and use the DeadMines maps for… THE NEW ENEMY: Unholy murlocs from the dephts of pirates’ cave!!!!
- Great… you have just been promoted to Design Lead for the new patch!

It is so instanced now. =)

And an amusing scenario occured:

JoeBobTauren is out fishing, a WG battle queues, he gets chosen. =)
He continues fishing and lets others fight.

What’s next — an inactivity port out? So if you don’t join the fray within X minutes you get ported out, and someone new who was queued gets ported in.

For me the 120 limit is going to change pretty much nothing. I’ve seldom seen more than 2 raid groups alliance side, and the Horde always have scads of tencrapity so I doubt that they’ll suddenly start logging in with more people. Net result: Queues and port outs to change if someone can join; everything else will essentially be the same. Oh! And I won’t see as many fishermen during the fight. Big Deal. =)
