Am I the only one who is unable to connect tonight or is the login server down?

wife and i cant either as of now... did at 6 or 7... now no. server 1 Alterac valley

Just tried, and I can't connect either

Server are down, just got kicked out propably to many Taiwan player moved back to china : )

so much for my big night of raiding ... oh well back to debauchery and gin.

am back in

in fact maybe not - booted me out, can't get back on now..

just got home and my wife is playing at the moment, but I can't log in.

10:12 and still can't connect.

my wife has been playing since 2 hours and still is...

and me cant log in

can't log in-- because not only the Taiwan people are back even just a log of regular Chinese will be back to play today. dam the random dungeon finder must be hot now

Wife has lift off.

edit: and alas i do not. why do the wives get in!?!?!?

mine is happily wandering around in Dalaran...

I got booted off in the middle of a run. I havent been able to get past the login screen since.
And the random dungeon finder is sweet. You get instant transport to and from the dungeon like it is with BG's. It seems people will quit if they dont like the dungeon but it's still quick at putting a group together and finding replacements. The random battleground is nice too. I got 5500honor for an IoC win.
Now if only the login server would come back to life soon...

I'd hate to break it to you, but Isle of Conquest is truthfully truthfully one of the most broken and ill-designed battlegrounds ever. Sure, it's an honor cow, but it isn't much fun. I vote for the absolute removal of IoC and SotA.

Agreed. I hate the BG vehicles. Stop trying to make everything look like Wintergrasp Blizzard.

Isle of Conquest? Removing it? I played it 24 times since I reached 80 and won it 22 times! Better stay the way it is.

But, you see, it isn't really that much more than a Wintergrasp-esque Alterac Valley. Vehicles are bad in a battleground, sans the fact that they make a pretty decent meat shield. They attract attention because they're 20x bigger than your character (maybe x2 if you're a tauren...) and it's basically death on a slingshot. First instinct? KILLKILLKILL

And, to be honest, no battleground is really that great anymore. I vote for returning the old Alterac Valley.

If you want to fix most of the BGs in China, what you need to do is remove the ability to sign up for a specific bg so premade win teams are hard to organized. Players no longer need tokens right? So let the imaginary general, not the solider decide where they want to fight.

Besides, you already get extra incentives from doing random ones.

damn u pussys u have to be good to play PVP!!!!
all i SAY i eat u for breakfest and dinner all to get´her just for fun........ BG ques can be dammed but consider the old way i prefer to loose a few fast instead of quing for 30 min to loose 1
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG u guys have no arena experience !!!!!!

Well, 2 people voted to remove a BG, I guess we can kiss it goodbye now...
I only mentioned it to compare the increased amount of honor. It seems like 5k+ honor for the first win wherever it may be. Besides, you arent forced to do the random BG, so just dont play there if you hate it so much.
And since this has turned into a BG bashing thread, let me say that AV isn't much of an option on my server. I remember most matches playing out as a race to finish on US servers, with most matches over in <15mins. Almost all of my AV matches(lvl80) in cwow have been bad experiences due to:
1-(about 75% of)Matches have less then 20 members on the alliance side leaving me the option of being farmed for honor(while getting next to none) and wait for the loss, or leaving the match and waiting for the cooldown.
2-(the other 25% of) matches which have a reasonable (sometimes even 40) amount of players and both teams play like each tower lost is a shame to their country. These matches last 30+minutes (a loss for both sides IMO)and usually end up as a loss for my faction.
So ya, I'll take vehicles -or just about any other gimmic blizzard wants to throw in- for a reasonable chance of victory any day.

haha, at least you've got SOME form of PVP right ? I remember it was like this as well on Bronzebeard back in TBC. Now, since the server population is re-balanced it's exactly like the race you described in US. We pass alliance, they pass us, nobody pvps. Just to see who gets who's graveyard first, or tower.. Lame. Best BG imho is Arathi Basin all the way.

Old Alterac Valley.

NOW.
