Tonight I went against my own advice and fought in a battleground on it's holiday weekend. Once in a while I am pleasantly surprised when I fight in a battleground on it's holiday weekend and tonight was no exception. The only good thing about a battleground on it's holiday weekend is we usually start off pretty even as far as numbers go.
We didn't start off too well, we lost the first 4 I was in but the honor was good, there is double honor for fighting in a battleground on it's holiday weekend. Then we went on to win the next 8 in a row. The way we were doing that was by taking the hangar at the start so we would be in control of the airship. Once we had that we were portaling up to the airship and jumping off into the Horde keep. Once inside we were bombing the gate from the inside while other players were attacking it from the outside as well as other people on airship hitting it with cannon fire.
That strat was working really well. Let me explain that when you jump off the airship you don't just plummet to the ground, you get a parachute and glide down into their keep, nice and gentle. The only drawback to that is if their keep is full of Horde players. Fortunately it wasn't as they were out trying to get into our keep.
That got us a total of 9 wins and 5 losses. As usual there were a lot of AFK in all the battles I was in, they like to come in and leech the double honor. We lost one battle towards the end by total lack of teamwork. The west gate to the Horde keep was down for over 10 minutes but we couldn't get through because everyone was scattered everywhere. The gate was down and all we had to do was go in and kill their General.
Everyone should have been at the west gate fighting their way in but over 2/3 of our team was somewhere else. Of course the AFK were just standing in our keep, but the rest should have been at that gate.
The Horde ended up winning that one on resources... I liked it better when there were no resources and the better team won but the Horde couldn't get any wins that way. They cried to Blizzard and things were changed to give them an advantage. All in all a good night for the Alliance in IoC. I will be back in there again tomorrow night to see how we are doing.
