3.2...or how Blizzard forgot what they said.

Is it just me or did Blizzard not mention that the 3.2 raid instance would be "something wow players have been asking about for a long time."

This led to speculation that perhaps the new raid would be Uldum or Grim Batol.

What I'm wondering is this:

Who the hell has been wondering and asking about a coliseum raid in a place (the coliseum) that none of us had even heard about previous to 3.1 (and wont even exist proper until 3.2)?

I have to admit, I'm not particularly psyched up about raiding in a beefed up ring of blood for an entire tier. Beyond that, though, I feel like I have lore blue-ba**s because I was expecting something that, well, I had been expecting ( as per the blue post ).


Can someone please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this?

The answer is "a new battleground". A lot of players have been asking for one for a long time and feel that waiting for a new expansion is just too long of a gap.

Giving a straight answer this early in the thread ruins it. :(


Yeah, I'm pretty good at it too.

Uh...didn't we get a "new" battleground when LK came out?

Or do we just overlook SotA?

And a long time? LK hasn't even been out a year and I am SURE there alot more things that have been asked about for so much longer.


Like I mentioned, a lot of players feel that waiting for another expansion for a new Battleground is just too long of a gap. This is the first time we are adding a BG in a content patch and we are aiming to get back to giant 40v40 style which is also something a lot of players have been asking for.

Anywho. I would be so much more excited for the new BG if we did not have the Resource bull crap and it felt like what everyone has REALLY been asking for.

Original Alterac Valley.

We want the epic feel of a battleground, NPCs, quests in the battle ground, summoning giant elementals to reign death down upon our foes if they turtle.

But no.

We get another resource AV 2.0 with 1 NPC in a keep. -_-

Edit: Do no want AVSotAWG BG. ;-;


And we have not forgotten about the mess, piles of problems, and loads of complaints that were also included in Alterac Valley 1.0. ;-)
