The Battle for Alterac Valley - 2/12/10

The Alliance wasn't doing well in Alterac Valley at all. I fought in 9 battles on Brieanna, 2 wins and 7 losses...

People just would not work together. The Horde were defending Galv, like they tend to do sometimes, so the best thing to do then is skip him. Do you think we could get people to do that? Nope. Galv is a Tard Magnet. People can not go by him without running in there even when someone announces that he is packed wall to wall with Horde. The Horde will have half their team in there defending him. The Alliance run in there like sheep to the slaughter. They also have IBGY because you can't get anyone to skip Galv and cap that first, so they just keep rezzing and running back in there until all the Alliance are wiped out. IBGY is practically right next door to Galv so they have no problem doing that. That sends all the Alliance either back to SHYG or one of the graveyards in Dun Baldar.

Needless to say with that group we didn't down Drek. Hell, we couldn't even cap a tower with that group, no one wants to defend anything. We won the 2 we won on reinforcements somehow. There were a lot of AFK, it's the holiday weekend, and a lot of weekend warriors, people who only come into the battlegrounds on their holiday weekend for the extra honor and have no clue at all what they are doing. They don't seem to be able to follow directions either. It is really sad that we can't get some wins in there on the holiday weekend and soak up some of that extra honor.

Alterac Valley - 2/11/10

The battle for Alterac Valley rages on again and I was finally able to get into one. More than one actually, I fought in 11 battles on Brieanna, 5 wins and 6 losses. After being in queue for days this battleground finally started popping again. Not unlike the 80 slot, the 71-79 slot has good times and bad times to play in it. I started off in a bad time, we couldn't win anything, and finished in a good time, we couldn't lose.

I still haven't gotten the Blitz yet but we did have a couple where we took Drek down with 2 towers up. Those were the ones where we rushed FWK and took east and west towers along with the relief hut. We won a couple more in reinforcements, that's fine by me, a win is a win and I got a lot of kills out of those. We had some good teamwork going on in the later battles and that's what makes all the difference, people working together towards one goal. Too bad the 80 slot can't figure that out.
