WoW: Burning Crusade Classic Will Test Same-Faction
Battlegrounds This Weekend
Blizzard will be testing out same-faction matchmaking for
Battlegrounds this weekend in World of Warcraft: Burning
Crusade Classic, in an effort to reduce lengthy
matchmaking times for Horde players.To get more news

Since the launch of Burning Crusade Classic, Horde
players looking to queue for Battlegrounds against the
Alliance have been forced to wait in queues of up to an
hour or more, making gaining Honor, a currency used to
purchase PvP weapons and gear, almost impossible.Why the
long queue times? That's because there are far more Horde
players than Alliance, as Horde is perceived to be the
better pick for PvP thanks to the powerful racial bonuses
for Horde races like Orcs, Blood Elves, and Undead.
Ironically, being better suited for PvP meant Horde
players had to wait much longer to get into battlegrounds
than their Alliance counterparts.
Blizzard will be enabling same-faction battlegrounds from
July 2-6 to see its effect on the game. Battlegrounds
will still prioritize matching teams of opposing
factions, but if a team can't be found in a timely
fashion, the matchmaking system will pair up teams of the
same-faction, albeit with the team playing out of the
enemy faction's base sporting masks and tabards
representing the faction they find themselves fighting
for.
"As soon as we saw Battleground queue times go way up a
few weeks ago, we got to work on our options for
addressing the situation," Blizzard wrote in a post on
the game's official forums. "They’ve all been discussed
here and elsewhere, as you know, and in addition to
following your discussions closely, we looked at game
history and data. What was most evident from all of your
feedback was: players want to continue to play on their
chosen side of the faction conflict, players don’t want
to wait in long queues for BGs, and players don’t want a
highly convoluted mechanism for getting into a BG."
Same-faction teams won't work on Alterac Valley, given
the nature of the Battleground sees players battling
various NPCs of the opposing faction. During the game's
weekly reset on July 6, same-faction matchmaking will be
disabled while Blizzard analyzes data from the weekend
and decides how to move forward.
It's just the latest example of Blizzard showing it is
willing to make various changes to Burning Crusade
Classic not seen in the original landmark expansion,
after following a strict "no changes" policy in regards
to WoW Classic. Some of those changes, such as changes to
Arena as well as rolling the game's endgame content out
in phases, have been met with general positivity. Others,
like the introduction of a paid character boost and mount
not seen in the original game, have been received less
warmly.
