WSG is more of a "luck of the draw" BG, in that if you get grouped with like minded people , you stand a good chance of winning.

For example, if most of the players prefer hard defense, while a few try for the flag, it will probably work.

If most of the players prefer to play hardcore offense, and "get the flag back in the middle", it will probably work.


If however, you have 5 different "preferred" strategies all trying to be played at once, you are probably going to lose.


It is what it is...just try to adapt to the situation (majority preferred strategy?), and roll with it.

Aye I agree Gutter - and that's possibly part of why it's a 50/50 deal in that BG.
Which still means it's quite well balanced for random pickup groups

What they should to is let you pick the 5 bg's you want for the Random BG and when you que for Random it picks one from those five.

This way no one is ever stuck playing one they don't want to play.

WSG hands down, Ally can't win it, turns into more of a Horde farm fest than a BG, in fact I have been PVPing since vanilla and just recently made Honored with silverwing sentinels yet been exalted with the others for years.

I'm at 50% vs 50% win/loss in WSG, looks like a quite balanced BG - and yeah, I'm alliance.



Might be 50/50 for you but more like 20/80 for me.

Which one is that idiot fest where you first come in by boat and then come back defending from the boats?

Outside of TB I cannot figure out any PvP encounter which is more aggravating.

Though Twin Peaks while nice really has a cheesy flag room layout, copied somewhat from WSG. They need to remove the upper balconies in both, I am so tired of people getting up there and sniping nearly immune to response from any cast time effect.

You can kill the boss. Lmfao.

Tank him in the middle room. If he leaves, he enrages.
Tank him close to one of the doors, so that everyone can los him when he does the jump move.

Proceed to win the BG, while the other side is screaming "you can't kill the boss.."


And Ferry, I tanked the boss very well starting at 83, on both my paladin and DK, but you go on thinking it cannot be done.

/facepalm



I know that technically he can be killed as I have seen it done twice out of 18 characters leveling through BG's. The success rate is quite low. Good luck getting the PUG to LOS the boss.

I, on the other hand, prefer a command-line system 'cause i'm so hardcore
/north /north *You encounter an [Avatar of the god Set]!*
/cast sheild *sheild spell unavailable*
/csat shield *csat: unknown command*
*[Avatar of Set] beheads [Peasant]*

Warsong Gulch. Capture the flag is the lamest PvP mode in any game.

I agree with The Korrigan and Elaok -- I don't like Strand or Isle.
