Yahoo! The Wow Battlegrounds Patch Is Here!

Rogues are hardly weak... :\ The game isnt balanced for 1v1 PvP in case you havent noticed, its for group PvP.

Mullet

I want to start a horde character....what should I be?

Haze

Roar, an Orc Warlock damnit.

RustySpoon

The game is perfectly balanced, and this is coming from a 55 hunter. Learn to play it.

Caboose

*sigh* after 3 hours in queue, I gave up. BG can't be worth that wait...

Chrono

i agree with rusty spoon the game is well balanced i have 4 level 60 horde characters and i see the game as perfectly fair

I was on the test server (queues up to 8000) and had to wait for 15 minutes at worst.

Gwahir

my first time was abuot 5 minutes, my second was 20.

but at the end of the second time, it crashed right when the battle was complete. Can't get in right now, maybe it's for maintenance...

SoulSkorpion

Why would you need a world of warcraft patch for Yahoo! ?...

...oh. Never mind.

You EU or yank?

Epidemic

Anyone got a link to the UK patch? :/ Snailing at 0-4 KB/s

Cereal_KillR

Rusty: On the EU test server, the first one.

Epidemic: Check <a href='http://download.boomtown.net/en_uk/articles/art.view.php?id=8413' target='_blank'>Boomtown</a>
You gotta register, but that's where I got my english client, and where I get all my patches.


edit: NOTE that this is for EU/UK only. It will not work for EU/FR, EU/GER or US. I suggest checking something like fp if you're looking for a similar US version.

And It's taking about 6 hours to download.
Btw,pick orc/troll shaman. They are a good starting class for any Horde wannabe. A good way to introduce both spells and combat.
Then if you prefer spells,go mage.
If you prefer combat,go rogue/warrior.
If you want to be hated by everyone,go NE rogue and just camp XR'ds. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I'm sure you all know how battlegrounds works. You must wait to play the game until ten players on both sides have signed up to play and are all within nine levels of eachother. You cant estimate the time it will take for that to happen (so dont trust the estimate, its only an average of the times so far), and sometimes it takes longer than other times. If you find a raid group of ten people within one of the level catagories, you can speed up the process somewhat because it only requires the other team goes.
