    This usually happens on the Misery (EU) battlegroup.

    +Note 47 minutes is nothing compared to 48 hours or more.

    Ok my english not good.. Was your comment related to the post.. i dont think so.
    Please shoo.

    Spectrez. Like i said.. Made me remember Old school.. or Vanilla. Becouse since TBC i never got a AV so long.. Like some ppl said in vanilla fights were loong .. and what i meant in the pic was not really about the time.. but fight till last reinforcement
    Old school (Vanilla) pvp was the best pvp ever.. Blizzard will never more "fix" pvp like old times.

    The queues for oldschool AV were a couple of hours... and when you DID finally get into a game, the match would last nearly the entire day, sometimes overlapping into another day. I could remember being in an AV for four straight hours and leaving to go hangout with people, coming home and re queuing for AV and getting into that EXACT same match. I don't think one single AV lasted less than 3 hours.

    I so read AK47 as the topic title. Always fun when AV's lasted for hours and we had to team up to take Graveyards on various 'bottlenecks'

    While I've never been in a day-long AV, I do remember going fishing after an hour of futile attempts on SP, or cheering Icy while he graciously roflstomped allys, or kiting commanders to galv, where they got what they deserved... gooood times!

    There,fixed that for you

    Old-school AVs (aka Vanilla-AVs)were so balanced they could last forever,they were just epic.

    Editamn,look at that Horde Mage's damage done,he really wanted to win oO

    I don't particularly miss the long battles or anything, I miss the use of the resources collected to unleash something to help.

    Take the large elemental boss for example. Or dropping the signal beacon thing to call in the gyphons/wyverns.

    I miss those times.
    I reported lamb of log twice, once for having a slow car and once for trolling.

    I do not miss the long AV battles.

    Mainly because after a few hours you realized you wasted so much damn time in a single match.

    I do however miss the big giants that used to spawn.. those were so much fun.

    Old AV didn't have resources. AV "back in the day" lasted waaaay longer than 47min.

    Glad for your false feeling of nostalgia though.

    Question to people who have played those really long av matches. Were they tight matches where people tryed some tactics or were they just some retarded hk faming on some bottleneck of map for 48 hours?
