    Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno , what does "Carac" mean? It's an Ayleid word, but we don't have a proper translation for it.

    As someone who thought they would probably avoid Battlegrounds this has me much more interested in them.

    Also that read really well, so props to whoever did the writing and editing on it.

    I just wish it wasn't 4v4v4 I dislike this whole 3 faction type game play it will be like Cyrodil just on a smaller scale were two teams just gang up on 1 team well I can't wait to hear more but I just know ZOS is going to mess it up and people are going to be able to use cheese and cancer builds to dominate get ready for that 4v4v4 blazing shield or destro ult action

    Hopefully the other two maps are more open. I suffer from in game motion sickness in confined spaces. I can only play IC for 30mins at a time and vma is too much bucket time with all the camera movement needed for me to even bother with.

    Have you ever tried changing the camera's field of view? Maybe a wider FoV might help.

    So I wonder what thought has gone in to help with the level of abuse which is going to come from these.

    I hate to say it but we know this community is pretty rude when it comes to other players performing to their expectations, so if doing PUG groups with this has there been any thought into how to stop players just smack talking the flag runner when they die or new players who don't use meta builds?

    I am hardly new to PvP but never been top tier 1vX in skill, so I really want to play these and have fun but worry about the abuse I will get when I inevitably screw up some how.

    Other than just ignoring them and screenshotting all their abuse to share with my friends and make fun of of course.

    The map looks good, and domination having 4 capture points is great.

    But we need queue and leaderboard details. WoW does it wrong by allowing full groups to queue against solo players. FFXIV seperate full groups but still did it wrong. They had a seperate full group queue of 4 (good) but they allowed groups of up to 3 queue for the "solo" queue.

    It took about 2 days for the full group queue to become mostly empty, and all of the competitive players to queue in groups of 3. This was very unfun for anyone solo or even duo queueing. Sometimes you would be the solo guy and get a good group of 3. A lot of the time you would be part of the 4 pugs against an organized group of 3, plus 1 guy.

    Leaderboard as a seperate queue will not save us from this. More likely it will just lead to collusion.

    Strange that a Dwemer ruin is named with an Ayleid word. I don't know of any other crossovers between Ayleidoon and Dwemeris.

    I hope that ESO considers creating battlegrounds in a format of 6 vs 6
    It would be interesting if they could apply a similar system like in the campaign in "For Honor" for the three separate factions so the bgs have a minor "world" impact and the faction identity becomes further enhanced with rewards for the participants at the end of a season. So people of one faction benefit from taking part actively in the "campaign".

    I like that idea. 4v4v4 as someone stated earlier, just going to end up double teaming one team first. It still looks interesting and still going to try battlegrounds.
