World of Warcraft Battlegrounds in Testing
The much anticipated Battlegrounds content is live on the test servers for World of Warcraft. The patch notes for the upcoming game update include class changes and world modifications. From the notes: "The Warsong Gulch and Alterac Valley battlegrounds are now available. The Warsong Gulch entrances may be found in the northern Barrens near the Mor'Shan Rampart (Horde) and south of Silverwing Outpost in Ashenvale (Alliance). The Alterac Valley entrances may be found east of Sofera's Naze in Alterac (Horde), and in the Headlands of Alterac (Alliance)."
... and fix paladins, which were COMPLETELY overhauled less than 2 weeks before retail, and have been left ENTIRELY UNCHANGED except for a few bug fixes and one new skill (which is rarely ever used - most players will use it less than once a week) for the past FIVE AND A HALF FUCKING MONTHS.
They're a melee hybrid with not a single active melee skill. You turn on a seal once every 30 seconds, and can "judge" a seal onto a mob every 15, except that usually wastes too much mana... so you're left with 3 keystrokes every 30 seconds, plus the occasional stun + heal or shield + heal.
A retarded monkey would be smart enough to realize he's wasting brainpower, and program a simple script to do it for him.
It's more than stupid that this gameplay hasn't changed in five and a half months.
