Alterac Valley - Another Day 1/9/10
The Alliance isn't doing great in Alterac Valley, but they are doing better than they have been. I fought in 13 battles on Gomorra tonight, 8 wins and 5 losses.
We actually had some teamwork going on in a few of them. We did a couple where we went to Frostwolf Keep and took the towers and relief hut then killed Drek when the towers burned. That was pretty much the same group for those. We also got Glav in those battles. You can get Galv and still Blitz, we have done it a few times, not on Gomorra though, that's how long it has been since we pulled off a blitz. The Horde usually don't have a problem doing a Blitz and killing Vann with 4 towers up because they work together as a team and all seem to follow one plan.
Basically any sensible plan will win in AV if everyone follows it. That is the problem, some people are going to do their own thing, they do the same thing every time no matter what the plan is. It is too bad the raid leader can't just kick people from the battleground, that would solve a lot of problems. One thing that happens a lot is, someone will come up with a plan the majority agrees to, then right as the gate opens someone else will start spamming a different plan, then no one knows what to do. That happens way too often.
We had 2 wipes tonight because someone capped SHGY and the Horde rezzed at FWGY and just rolled into the keep and wiped out our offense. I can't stress enough that people need to look at where the Horde will rez, look where the Alliance are, and think before they cap something. If the Horde are going to rez right on top of the offense, don't do it. It's not rocket science but so many people can't seem to get it right. We also had the people that insisted that we hold SHGY. Needless to say those ended up in a turtle and loss for us. Holding SHGY keeps the Horde in front of us and we can't advance, how hard is that to figure out? The sad part is people still can't see it when you are telling them while it is happening.
