Isle of Conquest - Daily Battleground 1/5/10

Today the daily battleground was Isle of Conquest. I did it on Gomorra and we won the first one I was in. I didn't do any battlegrounds on Wranngar today.

When I got into the battleground the battle was already in progress. I decided to stay and defend the keep. I ran up to the top of one of the towers and manned one of the emplacement guns there. You use those to fire down on the Horde and siege equipment that get too close to the keep. Actually they have pretty good range so you can hit them a few times on the way in, I think they have a 3 second cool down. I was in there less than 5 minutes before we won. I noticed there were a few people over at the Horde keep when I looked at the map but I didn't think there was too much going on there. I guess those people were busy though because they got the gate down and killed the Horde General.

This daily got me 19g86s, 1241 bonus honor and 25 arena points when I handed it in. I am going to need the arena points and will have to eventually do some arena to get Gomorra a staff and wand.

Alterac Valley 1/5/10

The Alliance was doing a little better in Alterac Valley tonight. I fought in 13 battles on Gomorra, 7 wins and 6 losses. Believe it or not that is an improvement over how the Alliance has been doing in there lately.

We won 2 out of the first 6 battles, remember how I said there is the right time and the wrong time to be in AV? How you can see the quality of players change right before your eyes? Well, that is what happened, I was in some pretty bad groups then all of a sudden I got some good groups and we started winning. It seemed like we couldn't lose for awhile there. Eventually the group either got too thinned out or the quality changed again because we had a couple losses in a row right at the end. I wasn't complaining though, I got the 20,000 honor I needed to get my Deadly Gladiator's Felweave Trousers, my first piece of level 80 PvP gear. I was fully geared in level 70 PvP gear but all that got tossed when I hit 80. Now it I need to get back in the battleground and get another 49,600 honor for my next piece.
