To shorten the queues and provide greater access to warfare between factions, we are currently working on combining existing Battlegroups of different languages, with the aim of creating Battlegroups with higher populations. This change will affect both Battlegrounds and Arenas. Players from realms of different languages will only face each other as opponents in battle and will not be playing on the same faction in Battlegrounds, which will ensure that those playing on your side will speak the same language as you.

Please note that not all Battlegroups will be merged with another, and this feature will not be affecting the Russian-language Battlegroup. More details on this upcoming change will be provided as development nears completion.

Brainnnsss!! Braiiinnnsss!!

Q u o t e:
which will ensure that those playing on your side will speak the same language as you


Obviously never been in a BG with people from Hakkar....so having a few realms from German/Spanish/French BG's will make no difference on Ruin since half of BG chat is Italian :/

Great idea tho as this might actually fix Ruin's problems...maybe...

Q u o t e:
Bad idea. прибывающий враг !
So ? eh ? what ?
Like they are going to talk English.
Bye bye teamplay.

Try merging English BGs, we don't want Russian,German,etc(no offend) people who we cant understand, or who cant type English.


You didn't read his post did you :)

Great idea btw

That's life. Is it fair ? It's not fair for anyone so learn to deal with it

Yes, good idea but you must do it right.

We must be able to read the opposing players names. The other day Vindications was merged with a foreign battlegroup and all the players on the opposition were named the same - a strange combination of random symbols.

Also, like you said, all players should be able to read/type in english otherwise it will be hell.

have you at least read what he said? your side of the battleground will have only peeps of your region language. so you can do a bg with horde end VS france ally, to say one, but not mixed ENG or mixed FRA or whatever

I have a question Mr Blue - if we are never to be teamed up with non english, does that mean i'll never face horde from my own realm? If my enemy are to be french, or german, that means I won't be able to fight with the horde from own realm, which is disappointing.

I must agree, merge same language with same language or just rejig the groups around. Take one high pvp active realm out of a busy group and stick it in a quiet group. They'll no doubt complain, but we need balance, right?

You are opening new PvE realms soon anyway, surely these can be stuck into the lowest population battlegroups?

since you won't be grouping with anyone outside of the english realms if they don't speak english there isn't much blizzard can do about it.

Mmm why shouldn't you be able to face your realm opponents? From what i've read Wryxian said that you won't ever be mixed with other language peeps and you can only be against them, but he didn't say that you can ONLY fight other language peeps

Hasta La Vista!

I must say i have missed the ruskys from Warsong and Molten core in Blackout!

/Headdesk

Make it so they cant write their bloody gibberish in the BG channels, having 10 ppl spamming nonsense in Cyrilic or whatever language they had thrown at them at birth is annoying to say the least.

To clarify, people from another language realm will only be opponents. Opponents may also be from your realm or other realms with the same language as you.

In simpler terms, all people on your bg team will speak your language.

Just wondering will there be a reconstruction of the battlegroups then?

Edit: Nevermind my question... just re-read the opening post.
