I'm hoping that the problems with collecting the marks will be fixed. How can one be in a raid group and at the orb while someone in your raid group captures it, yet you receive no commendations but people who aren't even in the raid get them just by standing there?

A huge undocumented change to Wintergrasp...

The southern towers now have a major impact to the battle. First, while they're up, they give a small damage buff to the attackers.

But this is the huge part: when those towers are destroyed, the attacking team loses 10 minutes off the timer. Since, unlike the keep towers, these towers have no crossfire support they can be brought down with a small guerrilla group. By attacking these towers, they can force a much larger group away from the keep.

It was especially easy last night because our side had no clue that would happen until it was too late, but the defenders apparently got a yelling NPC to clue them in from the start.

@Resonance - Hi, I covered the Tower Change in my Guide to Wintergrasp.

Although apparently, the game ending if the towers are destroyed must be some sort of bug.
