Last night, just for the sake of it. Vind, Funk and myself decided to do a bit of PvP.
Not the real thing, obviously, because I really suck at it.
We were goign to start a WSG match and dance naked in the flag-room, just because we can. Unfortunately, we couldn't find 2 other Munquis who wanted to do the same thing.
I think that's a reflection of the changing attitudes towards the game. Once Upon a time, the Munquis would meet-up in capital cities / interesting places just to sit on the floor and chat in each others presence. These days, the Munquis only seem to meet for raids / groups or occasionally by chance. Such a shame... but I digress.
Anyway, somehow or other we ended up doing real PvP in Lake Wintergrasp. A full 40-Man raid was set up by a non-Munqui, and Vind manged to get us all an invite.
Now I'm usually against PvP, but I've got to say that it was quite alot of fun. It was probably the free-for-all aspect of it that appealed to me. There was just a mass of players everywhere, and anything with a red bar above it was fair game.
My FPS almost reached zero at one point, but that didn't stop me somehow being 6th in the overall damage meter (not bad for a group of 40). My recount showed me in 6th, Vind in 10th and Funk in 12th. All round, very good performances.
We did seem to very heavily outweigh the horde, by about 4-1 but in truth I think it would have been even more fun if there'd been more of them. The rewards don't really mean much to me. And I picked up about 6 achievements during the fight, which also mean very little. but the fun factor was pretty high. So I'll probably do it again soon.
The Munquis used to do alot of big PvP raids, for no better reason than "why not". And I think we should bring them back.
I'd bet most of the Munquis have never even seen Thunderbluff or Undercity, and I've never seen Oggrimar or the Belf place, so maybe it's time we got an army of Munquis together and go and kick some hordie ass, just so we can say "Remember when", again.

In Wintergrasp, when a faction is outnumbered they get the "Tenacity" (spelling?) buff. Which increase AP, HP etc of the players. So it balances out the factional imbalances.
ReplyDeleteThis just means, dont go for the horde one on one as they are individually stronger thans us.
