WoW patch 2.3 notes forAlterac Valley Battleground - Image 1Given that World of Warcraft's game patch 2.3 is a work in progress, expect plenty of changes to be announced regularly. With that said, we're letting the readers know of the latest patch 2.3 notes for the Alterac Valley battlegrounds. Blizzard Forum poster Nethaera posted some of the biggest changes we'll be seeing in the patch.

As she explained, the revamps were geared towards changing how players maintain their reinforcements, and how they can deprive the enemy team of theirs. Here are among the more interesting details she shared - we're hoping they hit the Public Test Realms soon:

  • Each team begins with four Warmasters. Destroying a tower will eliminate the associated Warmaster. Unlike the current game play, however, destroying the enemy tower will not add a Warmaster to your own side.
  • We will be changing the pace of the battle slightly with a reduction in the time needed to control a tower or graveyard. Where it currently takes five minutes to gain control, the time will be reduced to four minutes. The honor for capturing a tower will also be increased.
  • Dead players will respawn at team-controller graveyards. If the team does not have any graveyards under their control, they will automatically respawn at the starting tunnel.
  • 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 
  • 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.
That's a just a snippet of the things to come - be alert for any possible changes in the upcoming days. At the moment, the changes are garnering very positive reactions from the forum posters - the changes look to make Alterac's PvP scene all the more fun.
