Isle of Conquest - Daily Battleground 12/17/09

Today my daily battleground was Isle of Conquest. I fought in a total of 3 on Wranngar, we lost 2 and won 1.

We started every battle off outnumbered by the Horde, time to hit the forums and suggest they put Tenacity in all battlegrounds going to the side with the least players and see what happens. Nothing I'm sure, it is no secret Blizzard favors the Horde.

In the first 2 battles the lack of Alliance players at the start combined with lack of cooperation caused the loss although we were in the Horde keep and working on killing their General when the Horde killed ours in the second battle. In the first battle we didn't even get inside. In the first battle we had half the Alliance team standing outside the Horde keep when there wasn't even any siege equipment there. I had to double check and make sure it wasn't IoC's holiday weekend lol.

In the last battle we worked together pretty well as a team and got the West Gate down. We piled in and went after the Horde General. We DPS'd him down pretty quick for the win, he's a cupcake compared to Drek in Alterac Valley.

I turned that in and collected my 19g86s, 1241 bonus honor and 25 arena points.

The Battle for Alterac Valley - Back on Track 12/16/09

The battle for Alterac Valley rages on and I fought in 22 tonight on Wranngar. We had 15 wins and 7 losses.

The Alliance was doing better in there tonight but there are still the people who are only in there to do the stupid Gnome achievement. They don't want to fight for fear of losing their costume and leave as soon as they die. Too bad they don't all die right out of the gate so we can get people in there who actually want to win. If I hear turtle for the achievement or defend Balinda for the achievement one more time I will puke.

We had a Blitz tonight and the Horde had one too. We tried to do more but you would be surprised how many of the Alliance can't follow a simple plan, everyone to Drek, stop for nothing. It is sad but true. My kills have really fallen off lately, not because I am fighting in there more, because people just don't want to fight, they want to get their achievement done...

The Battle for Wintergrasp 12/16/09

The battle for Wintergrasp rages on every few hours and I hit it when I am not in another battleground when it starts. Today that was only once. We were defending the keep and hung onto it for a victory.

I got the quests today and got all those done which gave me enough Stone Keeper's Shards to get the Reins of the Black War Mammoth. I wasn't sure what I was going to spend them on but figured I could do worse than that. It cost me 300 Stone Keeper's Shards so it pretty much wiped me out, but I will always get more shards going forward. This is a pretty nice battleground to fight in and I really like the siege equipment and the way the building destruct as damage is done to them.

The Battle for Arathi Basin - Daily Battleground 12/16/09

Today my daily battleground was Arathi Basin. This is another battleground the Alliance used to do real well in and now are lucky to get out of with less than a Horde 5 cap.

I blame a lot of the problems in the battlegrounds on the achievements although there are more and more people in the battlegrounds that seem to have no clue what they are doing. Probably in there for the achievements... People are more worried about getting their achievements done than they are in winning. That is why you have people starting a cap and riding away, they are working on their achievements. At least I hope that's what it is an they are not just so stupid that is the best they can do.

I fought in 3 battles on Wranngar, 2 losses and, finally, a win.

It was the same old story in there, people not defending nodes, people going off in ones and twos to try and cap another node, people fighting in the roads instead of anywhere where it matters, it is sad the Alliance went from doing so good in there to doing so bad. In every battle I was in we had at least 3 nodes at one time, and the battleground leader and others were calling out to just defend what we had, but no one listens and we lost the nodes due to no defense.

I finally got this daily done and hope I don't see if again for awhile. It is AB's holiday weekend this weekend and if it comes up during that I am not even going to take it. I turned this in for 19g86s, 1241 bonus honor and 25 arena points.
