I heard the stories about how people talked about they were outnumbers 10:1 and what not, but I really didn't thing a server could be that bad. Until yesterday.
For every one green name I see in the new zones there are like ten red names. I never feel safe when I'm questing because I never know which of the 15 horde that are around me is going to be the one to decide it is fun to kill someone 5v1.
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm
Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Dec 07, 2010
Cataclysm is the third expansion pack to World of Warcraft. This expansion revamped and changed much of the original world content in addition to providing new areas, dungeons, and playable races.
How is the faction (im)balance on your server?
I'm on Altar of Storms, and during the first few hours of Mt Hyjal it was almost every 2 minutes that i would get killed. Officially, its 2.1:1 favoring Horde on my server, but it seemed like 15:1 Stupid frost mages think they own the place. It was terrible.
For me, this expansion isn't even fun right now.
I am questing and I never know which of the 15 horde are going to attack me. Or when one attacks you and you are smoking him and another appears from no where.
The content is really good, the dungeons have been good, but I can't actually play without dying 20 times an hour.
" I guess I'm in a strange minority where I think that 10v1 isn't "World PVP". Dunno. "If you're bitching about your server, join a new one. I'm on Gorefiend and it's a blast.
" I guess I'm in a strange minority where I think that 10v1 isn't "World PVP". Dunno. "World PvP has been and always will be exactly that. Greifing and ganking come with the territory on a pvp server. Sargeras was notorious for it in vanilla WoW. Darkshore was constantly camped by horde off rooftops killing NPCs and alliance lowbies. STV was almost impossible to level in for either side.
Currently, The horde - ally ratio is pretty balanced from what Ive seen. Depends on the mood, but overall leveling has been peaceful, you may find a group of horde causing a fuss, or making a quest hub unusable for a time. That's just a PvP server. Hell, I wandered around and killed horde trying to do the Baron Geddon quest for quite a while. World PvP is Random ganking, theres no organization, no "fair" fights. If its a problem, PvE servers don't allow it, and you can still be a gladiator and do your "real PvP".
Only Sargeras issue I've had? Sargeras is full, your position in que: 1876
Interesting to see all these servers imbalanced towards Horde. Lightbringer is 2.5 to 1 in favor of alliance according to Warcraft Realms. Looking at some of the realms there is crazy though... Cho'Gall is 10.8 to 1 in favor of horde... jeez. Looks like in general though, the PVP servers are heavily slanted towards Horde and PVE are more slanted towards Alliance. Personally, I like my PVE server. Hell, even though its PVE, I was doing world PVP yesterday and my 71 DK and my husband's 71 rogue kicked the shit out of some 80s who were trying to wipe out Star's Rest. Not to mention WG is a blast, and there's always BGs to do.
