[Alterac Valley] Various Bugs

[jakebob]

• The Captains, Balinda Stonehearth and Galvangar do not grant 20% health buff.

  The Captains, Balinda Stonehearth and Galvangar, stay inside the more central bunkers of Stonehearth Outpost and Iceblood Garrison. As long as these captains are alive, they will periodically grant a 20% health buff and a size increase to all members of their faction.

• [INTENDED] The fires around a tower/bunker when it gets destroyed affects a larger area than it should.
• [FIXED] Korrak the Bloodrager was removed in patch 1.10 and should therefore not exist in AV during TBC. The other neutral NPCs(Ice trolls) surrounding the graveyard was also removed.

• [FIXED] In patch 2.3 all Commanders and Lieutenants were removed from AV.

  In Patch 2.3.0 All Commanders and Lieutenants were removed and many elites were turned into normal mobs.

• It should not be possible to pull Drek'thar, Vanndar Stormpike, Captain Galvangar or Balinda Stonehearth out of their keeps/strongholds.
• On the map it looks like horde is always controlling both mines, the mines should of course be neutral on the map until captured and if captured they should get the proper color of the faction that took it.
• Returning a friendly Wing Commander to base should reward 20 honor, currently they are disabled.
• The level of most NPCs in AV is incorrect.
• Sometimes you're unable to capture the same node twice. Clarification: Horde player 1 assaults Icewing Bunker, Alliance player 1 defends it, Horde player 1 attempts to capture the bunker once more, but gets an error trying to do this. This has happend while both capturing a node and defending it. Humsas edit: Seems happening when capturing tower or graveyard to neutral and back to its original faction. Player is unable to interact with the flag.

• It is not possible to upgrade faction units with Armor Scraps.

  Unit Upgrades: You can complete a collection quest to upgrade some of your stationary troops. Players, officers, and roaming, mine and tower units are exempt from this bonus. Upgrading troops through armor scrap turn-ins will also result in your team's General enabling a periodic buff to your melee and spell damage. This buff scales from 10% at the Seasoned unit level, 20% at the Veteran unit level, and 30% at the Champion unit level. Both Alliance and Horde players gather armor scraps from the corpses of enemy players and guards. As armor is gathered, boxes of supplies visibly build up next to the forge. Once enough supplies are gathered, a person with high reputation can instruct the smith to upgrade units to the next level (such as Champion). The friendly troops will now be much more powerful. Unit Upgrades: Murgot Deepforge (A) / Smith Regzar (H) - 500 Armor Scraps (total 1500 for 61/71 lvl Guards)

These bugs are CRITICAL during AV weekend.

[Mofoleone]

Alliance players when they are near their TOWERS and Captains in them they receive +25% hp/dmg buff which they shouldn't. Even if tower is burned down they receive that bonus.

Both mines on MAP = visual bug, shows that horde controls them.

When used AOE dispel @ Drek'Thar he attacks horde player.

[Sideways]

We are planning to fix AV up over the next weeks, so if there is anything else it would be good to report it here.

The Marshall buff seems to be affecting every creature around, and should only affect the General. In addition to that, as mentioned above, it also affects players which again is wrong and also overpowers Alliance, since Horde warmasters are missing.

• Visual bug, the towers' archers are armed with mining picks instead of bows

[JKNN]

It is still a HUGE problem that the alliance can pull out Drek'thar while this is not possible for the horde at Vanndar. Noone should be able to pull the guys out. So long time with this bug - seems weird?

Another bug is that the teams are not numerically balanced, Source http://www.wowwiki.com/Alterac_Valley Patch 1.8.0 (10-Oct-2005): In order to keep teams in Alterac Valley more numerically balanced, players will now enter Alterac Valley on a one-for-one basis (i.e. if there are 30 players in the battleground for each side with 10 players in the Alliance queue and 2 players in the Horde queue, only two players from each team will be added, bringing the total to 32 per side).

marshall buffs still making AV almost unplayable

also major gamebreaking bug is - capping towers/flags in stealth

[Forcy]

Pull event type fix confirmed
