It makes me hella mad that Alliance doesnt know how to do BGs... The only BG we win is AV and we dont allways win that like horde wins the others... Im going to give a few tip for you alliance noobs that just queue up waiting for a mark..
Hey look - winning gives 3 marks you noobs!
Warsong Gulch
What I mainly see in WSG is the noobs are either ALL on offence or ALL on defence; and NEVER pick up the flag when it drops
If you notice - The horde manage to keep a nice D and a nice O to win... and yes if the flag drops they pick it up!
Just keep ~3 on D and the rest on O, zerg FC at once dont run in 1 by 1 like noobs... and hey you, yeah mt 63 pally...dont pick it up! Let a shammy, druid, or tank pick it up...
Another thing is WSG is picking up the flag when it drops... Somone will kill the FC right out the tunnel and NOONE RIGHT CLICKS THE FLAG!!! Right clicking the flag makes YOU the next FC, And if you right click the flag if a horde dies, it sends it back to the base... ffs people L2click
Arathi Basin
Some of the main things I see in AB is noone guards the bases, and we 15man zerg bases...
You need to have atleast 2 people per base, and 3 base+ to win... thats a minimum of 6 people... that means theres 9 on Offence, so if those 9 go zerg a horde base... last time I checked, 9>3?
Once again; look at the horde, they manage to 4cap about every game and still farm Trollbane Hall...
Some of the main strategies are the Iron Triangle - Hit 3 bases forming a trialge (Ex: Stables, Mines, Lumbermill) This has 3 bases right next to eachother blocking the other 2 bases and giving you a close graveyard to the other horde bases.
TRY TO GET BLACKSMITH!! Blacksmith is the most important base hands down... It holds 2 entrances which gives easy access to Stables and Farm; and holds a GY right in the middle of the map... Only get BS is theres less than ~8 horde there... because yes they will alll go BS to defend it.
Eye Of The Storm
I dont know much about EOTS, but I do know there are 2 simple strategies...
1. Hold 3 bases. 3 bases = more points than having 1 base and capping flag.
2. Hold 2 bases and cap flag. If you have 2 bases... That means the Horde has 2 bases!! Quantum Physics!! So if your getting the same amount of reinforcments as the horde.... but you are capping and getting +100 every time u cap... you win! Imagine that...
Same as WSG as well, if somone dies - click the flag ALLWAYS doesnt matter if the horde were carying it or if the alliance were carrying it... CLICK
Alterac Valley...
My favorite... We do pretty good on this one... lol - is it because it includes PvE? or is it just because Horde is to used to wsg? =/
Ok the basic plan for those who do not know is... All mages put down your food tables, everyone buff, hunters use aspect of the pack, pallies use seal of crusader (AV is a race... the faster you get to drek, the faster u win). Mount up and ride all the way to galv, DO NOT STOP FOR LONE HORDE; they are just trying to stall you.
If there are more than 3 horde at Galv, GET IBGY FIRST! (Iceblood Graveyard)
If there are -3 horde at Galv, kill horde first then kick his ass. Galv is uber easy, Ive 3manned him with a holy pally tanking *me* a rogue, and a noob feral druid *who was offhealing for no reason*.
Once galv is dead, have 3 people go to IBT (Iceblood Tower) and STAY THERE UNTIL IT BURNS!
The rest of the people go to IBGY and have 3 wait there untill it caps as well. Ride down to TP (Tower Points) do the same thing as you did to IBT.
Run down to FWGY (Frostwolf Grave Yard) cap it, leave 1 or 2 there, run to frostwold keep and snag towers asap, get GY (Relief Hut), once towers are burned, all in and focus fire on drek.
Kill drek and w00t w00t /dance because you just got 500 honor and 3 marks! GG
I hope this helps all you noobs who join BGs and dont know what to do :O
I understand alliance wins on some battelgroups, but most we dont.. so this is for you noob alliance... read it all!
Edit - Wrong section lmao *pwnt* can u move this to guides please? duno how this got to general...
