wow Alterac Valley in Classic Clarification

[Starym 3,800]

 

With the specific time frame Classic will be releasing in and the recent announcement of the content plan for it, Blizzard have now clarified how Alterac Valley will fit into that timeline. It seems we're getting the 1.12 version of the original battleground, before reinforcements were added and before all Commanders Lieutenants were removed. Check out the full statement below:

This is a subject that has been asked about several times recently, and we want to clarify some of the details surrounding it. Like many aspects of the game, Alterac Valley was tuned and adjusted in different ways from patch to patch in 2005-2006.

First and foremost, we’re planning to use the 1.12 version of Alterac Valley. For many parts of the game like this, we’re picking an original WoW patch that gives us the most clarity for WoW: Classic, and 1.12 is that patch.

In Alterac Valley, that puts us before the introduction of reinforcements. It puts us before the removal of all of the Commanders and Lieutenants. The only win conditions are the killing of Drek’thar in Frostwolf Keep or Vanndar Stormpike in Dun Baldar.

It gives us several early improvements to the BG that we’re glad to have in place. Early on in AV, there were too many NPCs and they were too hard to kill. By 1.12, many had been removed and NPC health was brought down to a reasonable level. Turning in armor scraps is an encouraged, supportive activity by this point. Many capture points (mostly graveyards) had been moved away from their initial placements to gain better balance across the map. Korak the Bloodrager was removed, and killing opposing players no longer drops items like Dwarf Spines, Orc Teeth, or Human Bone Chips. Gross.

In our content plan update, we mentioned that we’re still working out exactly how and when PvP elements of Classic will roll out. We’ll update you on that here very soon.

Never mind Classic WOW, bring AV back now in all its old glory with those battles going on forever in a day, they were Epic and when you won you had earned it and felt like you'd been to war. This rushing up North or South is just so dull at present. 

Is it not possible to have a normal AV as in today's version and then bring back the timeless classic too...just a thought

You could even bring it back for a special as in for the PvP weeks like with time walking when Black Temple ect are brought back.
