Battleground queue chat commands

Recommended Posts

I know that your main server has them and this was one of reasons I played other servers instead. Is Elysium also going to have such crap?

Greetings, Criboee!

The ".bg" and ".get" commands will not be available to Elysium's players.

Sincerely, Queeky.

Do you have any rational argument against them? How can you know how well they increased pvp activity if you played on other servers only?

The battleground queue command was removed because it had the potential of driving away players due to its non-Blizzlike function, whereas the command to view hidden characteristics (.get) was removed because some people voted against it, and it can be easily replicated via macros, addons or mathematics. These commands may or may not be reimplemented, depending on player feedback.

Will you repeat all mistakes of Blizzard and blizzlike bugs too even if they later fixed them? 

 

Many people who didn't play on Valkyrie do not realise how well those commands worked in increasing pvp activity and basing on their opinion you had just thrown away part of previous server legacy. Valkyrie in the pick of her popularity had 5-7 minute BG queues thanks to them.

 

You created this poll about the commands with your own hands Queeky:

Enforcing decision against the voice of majority will likely drive more ppl away then anything else.

Can someone explain me, how Blizzlike bg queue works? Should i stay near portal to WSG in Barrens all the time before fight is getting started or what?

You've got to walk to the battlemaster in any capital city. On lvl 60 it's not a trouble, but imagine those low levels walking on foot... that's why low level brackets were never active. BG commands opened possibility to queue to BG easier when you were bored of constant leveling.

Yeah, i think it's pretty easy too, but, as i remember, my characters always have to travel to a lot of cities at the low levels (10+) - making party for your first run to Ragefire Chasm makes you travel to Undercity, Thunder Bluff and Orgrimmar, so i don't think that newbies will have problems with joining a queue. Also, there is a hearthstones, bound to capitals and fly masters, that will help you reach battlemaster as fast as possible. But, as i said before, these commands will help us very much.

If you REALLY WANT to queue, noone can stop you.

But if you care not that much, "I'll go if it starts", queue command works great.

It works great in many situations, you can farm for example herbs or mining,and still pvp and be queued, without command you have to sit in a city and wait for bg to pop,which will be sometimes 1 hour, cuz i know this server wont have over 500ppl, or even that. Remove it you remove pvp, im repeating myself.

And queeky you cant even talk about this subject cuz you didnt play.

Guess I spent too much time on battlegrounds during WotLK so this command doesn't seem to bad for me. You will see more people outside of the cities which will make world PvP more likely to happen. Downside of such queuing is inability to kill a person with popped up bg invite. I know that there are some restrictions like you can't join bg if your falling,,, But usually thanks to this feature the person can leave the place of impact unpunished.

 

Whether it's implemented or not I'm okay with this

I hope all-blizzlike fanboys are ready for Ahn'Qiraj War Effort

As far as I remember this picture was taken on the first day of the event.

Can't join bg while in combat. Button will be grayed out and you will not be able to click it.

Dead link

Thanks, looks like forum can't handle ' symbol in a link, but I've found a better picture to illustrate what awaits them.

Few players from dead server Valkyrie want it, few all-blizzlike fanboys don't want it, so what? I think this commands is really, really useful, but people at Nostalrius don't needed it, players in 2004 don't needed it, so..

Still a bit unfair imo. It takes 10 sec of casting to teleport a player with hearthstone, mage's or druid's spells, engi transporters, unstuck function. The only thing that affects pvp experience so much I can think about is warlock's summoning, it doesn't happen so often though. Anyway, I do not really care

I would agree that having the bg. commands will benefit the server. atleast give it a trial period and then come back with another poll.

Pros:

Raid getting delayed for +30 mins? Join a BG via command

Waiting for a rare to respawn? Join a BG via command

Sitting at the battlemaster while Your guild farms consumables/gear/rep? Join a BG via command and do it with them

 

Cons:

is not blizzlike ;<

 

By the logic of this topic You're ok with wasting alot of Your free time doing absolutely nothing... because it's blizzlike

I agree. At this point I'm actually quite annoyed by the term "blizzlike". Almost every server claims to be blizzlike.

 

I personally support small changes that don't alter the soul of the game. Kronos has a 10 gold maximum on respecs. That is certainly a bigger change than BG commands, and they are doing just fine for population.

 

I'm disappointed that now Elysium won't have the commands because they want to play it safe, and not scare off a few people who may have a "blizzlike" fetish. It was what set Elysium apart from other servers for me.

I was discussing changes like this to a fellow wow developer a while back and making small changes like these could actually make it a better play experience BUT we both agreed that if you want to stick to a blizzlike feel then we would create some kind of item that players could carry around (e.g. a horn you can blow with a cooldown) to enter the queue for a battleground instead of commands which ruins the immersion to the game. You could even create quests etc before people could achieve them.

 

People have been playing classic realms for a while now, why not improve it just a tiny bit without breaking the classic touch of it.

PS:
Same goes with raids... after Naxx has been cleared, why not create a new raid with classic feel to it.
