This is the official discussion thread for the blog article ESO Live: August 3 @ 6PM EDT. Join us for ESO Live this Friday as we talk to Lead PvP Designer Grand Warlord Zimmeron (Brian Wheeler) about the new Battlegrounds map, Keep Recall Stones, unique PvP rewards, and more coming with the Update 19 base game patch. But that’s not all! Throughout the show, a crack team of ESO developers will be queuing up for Battlegrounds matches on the Public Test Server, so if you’d like to take on the devs at their own game, patch up the PTS now to prepare.

    Will they address MMR system concerns at all? That would be super helpful as it's become a bit of a pain point for experienced battleground players.

    I'm very interested in hearing more about keep recall stones. In particular, in what ways is it preferable to death porting? New pvp players and more casuals won't be interested in dropping 20k AP on a single use port and seasoned players can certainly afford it if they choose to, but are very quick and efficient with death porting if necessary to move around the map.

    There have been a few times since they were announced that I have been in situations where they would have been nice. For example: I was riding from Aleswell to Ash and was about halfway there when the assault on Ash was finished and the keep was taken. At the same time, someone called out enemy on the front door of Arius. As it was I had to either continue riding to Ash or turn around and head to Aleswell. Both options ended up with Arius flagged before I could get to a transit. With the recall stones, I could have instantly ported there from between the two keeps and helped in the defense.

    That makes sense but isn’t what they said. He’s just going to talk about the new map. They might not even play it depending on the RNG of which map they get.

    They should do an actual representation of their pvp on live severs on stream.

Both options ended up with Arius flagged before I could get to a transit. With the recall stones, I could have instantly ported there from between the two keeps and helped in the defense.

    True, that is a good situation to use the stone. If you're just out there earning AP, you likely lost AP on that deal. The D tick may or may not give you back the 20k you spent and that's only if the keep is actually defended. This may end up being a way for more hardcore players and groups to shave seconds or maybe minutes off of the travel time and that may be reason enough for the inclusion. I'm still wondering if it's something that a lot of players were asking for? I never liked the idea of deathporting as giving an advantage to dying isn't something I am in support of. I just don't think this is the solution, at least not at a 20k cost. It really has to be worth it to start using these multiple times a night. At least with a 20k forward camp, 20 players benefit from a single investment. This is 20k per player and if not everyone in the group is using it, you split your group up by porting.

    That's great to hear! I haven't yet spent enough time in Battlegrounds for this to be a huge issue for me, but it's been pretty disheartening knowing that my reward for sticking with it will be a longer queue.

    I'm waiting to hear stories of players using keep recall stones then getting stuck in long/infinite load screens during the port. Even better if someone making the horse ride and not using the stone actually arrives before you get out of that load screen. It's bad enough when you hit these load screens already. Paying 20k AP for the privilege would be quite infuriating. You're paying the AP to save a minimal amount of time. Any of that time spent in a loading screen is completely wasted.

    Will faction locks or loyalty incentives be discussed? Last time we heard that they were watching numbers and was thinking about possible solutions can we get an update on this?

    I can live with the sloads issues but seriously Rune Cage that's just broke. Any CC that lasts for 5 seconds removes any chance of a counter. Sorcs literally have 4 seconds to unload macroed light and heavy attack damage. Doesn't this just seem stupid to someone in your office?

    Server performance update. The server can't seem to handle the numbers even before the event started but after summerset was released the server performance is single digit frames with a 1070 video card. This is crazy dumb and we all would like to know what's being done to fix it.

    What about the glitched walls?

    Is PVP in ESO going to get the attention it should have or are the players just simply left with no other choice but to leave?
