Nine Muses

I decided to spend yester evening wrapping up the Dinner Impossible achievement, which requires that you serve a Great Feast in each battleground (not counting IoC).  I had already done Arathi Basin over the weekend, so last night I did each battleground one by one.  Every single one was a loss.

The Eye of the Storm loss was in less than five minutes and they capped and held all four towers through the entire game.

I decided that I really don’t like Strand of the Ancients.  It might have been lack of coordination on the part of the Alliance folks but it seemed like I was always getting killed, right off and getting little if any assistance.  I don’t mind dying or I wouldn’t PvP but this just seemed excessive.  Maybe I should try it again.  Maybe it was a bad night.

I joined the Alterac Valley battle already in progress.  I ran to catch up with the pack, and by the time me and a half dozen others made it to the General fellow at the end, the pack was back at midfield or so running back.  I guess they died though I don’t really know.  (Why don’t people talk in BGs?)  We were smashing him fairly well when the Horde must have killed our general.  At least that one was close.

The Warsong Gulch battle was interesting.  Both teams were turtling to some degree, and there actually was some very little bit of talking going on.  Eventually someone on our side killed their flag carrier, and we managed to score a point.  At this point, there were about ten minutes left to go and the consensus (if you can call it that when it comes from only half the team) was to turtle so we’d get a win.  I am not sure what happened to that strategy, but in the last two and a half minutes, the Horde somehow capped the flag.  Twice.

Despite all of this relative frustration, I really had fun.  I’ve been toying with the idea of bringing up another alt just by playing in battlegrounds (from 30 onward), to see if it can be done, and as a challenge.  I’m not sure yet if I’ll go through with it, but the idea is bouncing around in my head.
