Alterac Valley Strategy
After reaching level 70, I thought that it was going to be easy to get all my PVP gear. After all, playing the Horde in the level 51-60 bracket was such a cakewalk that I figured, the Horde dominated in the 61-70 bracket. Boy, was I wrong.
To get my epic chest and legplates, I had to withstand a barrage of losses of staggering proportions. In the level 60 bracket, I probably lost 10-20 out of hundreds of games. AT one time, I had 60 straight wins. Granted, most of those were grind it out festivals. But, the key was that the Horde won.
At the level 70 bracket, as of patch 2.4, the Alliance can win so quickly, it amazed my brain. Well, after much frustration, I began asking players during the battles what was the philosophy for the Horde. They mentioned the plan which is as follows:
/bg Greetings. The plan is no defense.
/bg Grp 1 & 2 take Aid Station; the gy northwest.
/bg Grp 3 & 4 Balinda and recap IB and TP towers. Need to recap bec no defense.
/bg Grp 5 SHB
/bg Grp 6 IWB
/bg Grp 7 North Bunker
/bg Grp 8 South Bunker
Now, before the plan above, the only way I knew that the Horde can win was a grindout festival with TURTLE. This means 30-40 minutes of killing and healing. But this required a strong defense at the Frostwolf village. That translated to 10-20 players playing defense. Inevitably, this numbers requirement made the offense weak. The offense would not be able to take bunkers at all.
The other disadvantage of the turtle game is that once the Horde loses the graveyards, all is lost.
The first time I saw the plan above, it was when I began to do battlegrounds as an alliance player. What I saw did not work because the alliance could never keep the middle field graveyards. So, the alliance always got stuck at the stormpike first aid hut. The result was a turtle.
The advantage of the plan above is speed. No defense. Everyone attacks and defends bunkers until the bunkers burn. This has a positive of giving honor to the Horde.
The disadvantage of the plan above is that Groups 3 and 4 need to recap or retake the Horde towers towerpoint and icewing bunker. This is needed so that the alliance have to take Drek with one remaining support.
How can the plan above fail? If the alliance manage to take and use the stormpike graveyard, they will be able to disrupt the attack on vandar. Horde must control the stormpike graveyard after thee bunkers have been taken.
Note that the above plan does not require everyone to follow it. So long as the Horde can spread out evenly and capture bunkers, we can be competitive. The idea of the game is speed.
How do you get to the northern bunkers quickly? Right after thee Icewing bunker, there is a path to the left of the main road that will lead to the bottom of the bridge. It is called Icewing Pass. Take this pass and get to the northern area quickly. Assemble at the bottom of the bridge and go up as a group.
The players will pull the guard from the stormpike graveyard. If this happens, take the flag at stormpike.
How about the graveyards in the middle of the field? Horde should not take snowfall graveyard. If the Horde takes the snowfall graveyard, the alliance will begin resurrecting at the relief hut or the stormpike graveyard. You will get a turtle game.
The Horde should try to recap the two Horde middle field bunkers after thee alliance have taken it. These are the key points.
An additional note is that players should not run outside when vandar is about to kill you. If you must, die. Vandar will reset if he goes outside and follows you. This means his life will be full again.
Some players believe that turtling is the only way to win. That is okay. With time, they can see the light. All they have to see is that we can take on Vandar even with one marshall present. I have been enlightened. I hope you are too. Spread the word. Create a macro in your character. Beat the alliance!
