On the second or third AV, Horde took Snowfall Graveyard which results in a battle of reinforcements. Since the Alliance were stuck at the bridge chokepoint, it is just a matter of which side has more deaths.

During the game Qwaitxtwo received Damage Control and ended up with over 830k damage in the game. For a fresh 80 in quest greens and blues, that is pretty respectable.

Geesh, does anyone believe this stuff?

After watching the trade channel, I guess they do. Stories of people who’s accounts were hacked are all over the trade channel — which honestly, Blizzard should rename as World General.

Last week they were giving out free mounts. I didn’t get my free mount.

Thank goodness I signed up for that Cataclysm Beta…. wait, where did all of my items and gold go?

I had been defending Blacksmith until I was left solo and a group of four took it, so, I ended up recapping farm with a few others and was stuck defending farm.

I had exactly 2000 Honor exactly during an Arathi Basin battleground.

I needed 2805 Honor to buy the Insignia of the Horde, and had 2806

While fighting some mobs in Felwood, Qwickthree had 73 armor. Yes, he’s level 48 taking on level 53 mobs.

However, the biggest change was experience in Battlegrounds. While questing, I’ll always have two battlegrounds queued, and, on a good night, I’ll actually do more battlegrounding than questing. While leveling Qwaitxsix in the Hinterlands, the battlegrounds were constantly popping. A quest turnin leveled me in Orgrimmar.

What most people fail to realize is, if you control three bases in Arathi Basin, the battle will come to you. Fight on the Flags when defending, pull the enemy from the flag when they are defending. It’s not a difficult concept.

Once in a while you’ll see some rogue that is relatively low leveled for the bracket and they’ll ask for a healbot — because by some miracle with a healer, they’ll be able to take out someone. If you call out for a healbot, and by some rare chance you get one, protect that healer — don’t charge into battle DPSing everything and allow the healer to get killed and then complain that you didn’t get any heals.

In any case, the screenshots of Qwickthree’s healing are a pretty sad testament to the healers in battlegrounds. They are virtually non-existent, but, very much appreciated when they are around.

Overall, it is just a statement that healers are pretty rare in battlegrounds – even on the twink battlegrounds.

From 30 to 40 was very fast. Battlegrounds provide about 2000-4000 experience per game and done while questing, you level up incredibly fast. One thing to remember is setting your pet on defensive when you are about to leave the battleground so that you don’t chain pull a few mobs once you’ve zoned into where you accepted the battleground queue.

It appears that they can be mounted and hit the little shed on the graveyard side of the stable and walk up the edge with a well timed jump. From there, they get on top.
