... annoying, you only can change occupation with a SINGIFICANT amout of players over the defenders.

If its somewhat balanced you can not win b/c attackers HAVE to hold 3 bases to win while while defenders only have to hold one freaking base.... impossible for the attackers...

Tol Barad sucks. The 'own all 3' principle is just absolutely ridiculous.

I think the win condition will be changed. Right now, it favors the defender heavily.

The entire BG system needs an overhaul ... won't happen ... but, it needs it.

The system should work like any other PvP system where you have basic rule sets like CTF, deathmatch, team deathmatch, etc that can be used on a variety of maps. I'm just saying, if Blizzard had a group of 3-5 rule sets and released a new map every patch or two, BGs wouldn't get nearly as boring. I loved AB, but how long before you get tired of that map?

Blizzard is redesigning the wheel with every new BG, which makes no sense at all. They're not very good at designing wheels.

I agree. I was a little shocked when I found out you had to get and hold all three to win. It's very hard to do that, given how slowly the control flips. All defenders have to do is zerg one base, and they'll win it back.

It would be better if once it was captured, it stayed captured.

Tol Barad flips hands every morning, so the defenders just have to hold it through the day. I think it's supposed to be crazy hard to actually win it attacking.

Hmmm, nope, that wouldnt be a good idea b/c that would favor the attacker. All they have to do is zerg base after base while defenders have to split to defend all 3.

Blizzard's B team was too stupid to design WG, so anyone really though they would be smart enough to design TB?

The more I play this expansion, the more apparent it is to me that Kotick really is having substantial influence on Blizzard - this thing was pushed out for the Christmas season, not because it was ready. edit: And that flies in the face of standard Bliz policy. You don't release stuff that is just 'okay.'
