Assorted Battlegrounds 2/22/10
I did a few different battlegrounds on Brieanna today. The one I fought in the most was Isle of Conquest. I am cutting back on Alterac Valley for awhile, it has gotten so bad in there.
We were doing pretty good in Isle of Conquest today. I fought in 18 battles in there, 10 wins and 8 losses. We were doing really well early on then it started to taper off so I got out. Over time the players change and you need to move on when the poorer quality players get on or you will just have loss after loss. This always corresponds to certain times of the day so you can kind of time it. The strat that still seems to be working is to get the Hangar so you have control of the airship, then jump from that into the Horde Keep and bomb the west gate from the inside while others in the team are firing on it from the airship and hitting it with siege 
equipment from the outside. We can usually get the gate down in a couple minutes that way. After that it is just a matter of killing Overlord Agmar. He is pretty tough but I don't think he is as tough as Drek'Thar in Alterac Valley. IoC is a 40v40 battleground.
I did fight in 7 battles for Alterac Valley, 5 wins and 2 losses. Down from the 10 to 20+ a day I usually do. To say the Alliance was doing much better in there today would be an understatement. I hit it at the right time I guess. I would queue for IoC and AV at the same time and if AV came up first I would take it. If I got into a battle that we were obviously losing or one that hadn't started yet but we were grossly outnumbered I would just accept the IoC queue when it popped and switch over to that one. We had 2 successful Blitz's and 1 not so successful Blitz. In the not so successful Blitz we had Drek down to 5442 HP when the last person died. The problem with that one was no heals. The other 2 went really well, we all rode to Drek, that was how you could tell you had a good group, 75% of the people actually went to Drek, and owned him. That is good for around 600 honor. I usually get 1200+ in a turtle from kills and anything we may cap but that can take 40 minutes, the Blitz is over in 6 minutes or so. AV is a 40v40 battleground.
I fought in 3 battles for Wintergrasp today, all wins. We were defending in all 3. People actually got out and captured the workstations in the first 2 and we got the southern towers down pretty quick. In the third one I was in people were sticking to the keep more and it took a lot longer and was touch and go for awhile but we pulled it off. I should be able to get one of my trinkets tomorrow even with the shutdown. Wintergrasp cycles roughly every 2 hours and 15 minutes. 
There are quests you can do in there too that give you 13g23s, 10 Stone Keeper's Shard's each and a lot of honor. I don't think there is a limit to the number of players in WG, I have seen 2 full 40 man raid groups plus a third partial one on our side in there at one time.
I fought in one battle in Warsong Gulch. I hate Warsong Gulch. I can't even begin to explain how much I hate going in there. When patch 3.3.3 comes out they will be getting rid of marks which means you will be able to get the PvP mounts using honor. I really like that idea, no more farming 30 Warsong Gulch Mark of Honor for each mount. 30 WSG marks is about 30 battles, 1 mark for each loss. I would say the Alliance loses 95% of the battles in WSG in this battlegroup. The main reason for that is people fighting in the middle instead of supporting the flag carrier or trying to get our flag back when the Horde have it. In almost every battle I have ever been in, people seem to be farming kills instead of trying to win. Maybe they have given up and just want their mark. The main reason I went in there was to serve a Great Feast so I could complete the Dinner Impossible achievement. Oh yeah, it was also my daily battleground but I dropped it after that. We lost 0 to 3. WSG is a 10v10 battleground.
