Now that it's been a bit... do you wish for the old BGs back?

If you never do / never will do battlegrounds then don't vote.

Yes, have 3 or 2 versions of BGs

Maybe replace 8v8 with 4v4v4. 8v8 feels very impersonable and just a carry run, where somehow bombing builds consistently seem like a good idea. 4v4 feels too team-based for some casual killing funtimes.

Yeah, while the new maps are nice and pretty I think I would probably be having more fun on the older version.

I'm not going to vote, since I had played only a few old-style BG matches, haven't played any of the new-style matches yet, and don't know if I ever will. These are just a couple of comments without wanting to cast a vote.

It seems unlikely that BGs will ever be changed back after the work that went into the new format and new maps, so it's best to just accept the changes and not keep wishing for the clock to get turned back somehow.

On the other hand, it seems regrettable that the old format wasn't preserved alongside the new. I imagine there were reasons for that, and they must have been good ones, because ZOS must have anticipated that some players would prefer the 4v4v4 format, so they must have felt it wasn't feasible to have both formats in the game.

2 options to set up bgs that would actually interest most players.

Option 1:
4v4v4 deathmatch, ranked solo queue
4v4v4 deathmatch, ranked group queue
8v8 objective (no deathmatch) solo queue (can queue as solo or duo)

Option 2
4v4 ranked deathmatch, 1 round of combat with instant respawns + speed boost upon respawn with the round ending at 105/150/255 points OR 3 rounds of combat with no respawns during the round with the round ending after there are 2 deaths on one team

4v4 group ranked deathmatch, 1 round with no respawns and the game ends when one team is all dead

8v8 objective (no deathmatch) solo (can queue as solo or duo) queue

Either one of these set ups would give the majority of players what they want from battlegrounds, while vastly improving on the things they have tried to implement

Yes/No but 4v4v4 should be revamped then brought back permanently

i like 4v4 way more.

i would be fine with 4v4v4 returning if it were completely optional

Ewww no, 8v8 is the best thing they've added to the game in years, it's like the old Memorial Brawl, or Cyro fights without the ball groups. Pull procs are dumb and shouldn't exist, but that problem isn't unique to BGs.
