Alterac Valley To Have Changes in 2.3
by Angelo on October 5th, 2007
The Alterac Valley battleground has been through a lot of changes since it was first introduced to the game. I remember when AV matches would take forever to finish, making it the most difficult battleground to get a mark of honor, much less three of them to turn in to those NPC’s in the old honor system. Then now the horde actually wins more games now that the AFK reporting system was put in place. The battleground today i a far cry from what it used to be and still more changes are coming along in patch 2.3.
Starting reinforcement count: If at any point in the battle reiforcements are reduced to zero, the team loses. Reinforcements can be lost by team member death, tower loss or deaths to Belinda Stonehearth or Captain Galvanar. Of course if Vanndar or Drek’thar are killed, the team loses all reinforcement s and loses the match.
Warmasters are important to the defense of your general. Each team will start with 4. Destroying a tower will take away the associated Warmaster.
Time taken to take control of a tower will be reduced to four minutes. Honor gained by taking a tower will be increased.
Players will respawn at the nearest team controlled graveyard instead of sometimes in the starting tunnel. If there are none, then they will respawn at the starting tunnel.
Players will only be awarded bonus honor during the battle for destroying enemy towers and slaying the enemy Captain. Once the battle is concluded, bonus honor will be awarded for intact towers, a surviving Captain, and for victory in battle.
We have reduced the number of elite NPCs in Stormpike and Frostwolf holds as well as sent all Commanders and Lieutenants out of Alterac Valley
Looks like the game developers really want a more active Alterac Valley to complement their efforts to stop the AFK practice in the battleground. Now that we pretty much have all 40 players active, this change will make for a more interesting and a more involved game play.

Wow, it will be interesting how these changes will work out. Sounds pretty cool but I will have to wait to see how it pans out in the actual AVs.
