So many Arena topics floating around. What about Battlegrounds?
Hmmm?

What's wrong with offering variety in a MMORPG. If you don't like the venues you don't have to queue for them. Zerg vs Zerg will still be available to those that want it.
Personally, I would enjoy RVR/BGs/ and Arena pvp. I like my pvp like my women/sex life - lots of variety, with dodging, screaming, stamina boost, and the confrontation to last a while!

Whats wrong with offering variety? Because offering variety usually makes everything mediocre.
Stick with 1 thing and make it great, not 3 things that are just terrible.
Past games have proven that the second you offer two options, be it Giant PvP like this game, and Warzones, one becomes less popular then the other.
The last thing a game like this needs is to pull a bunch of people out of the PVP because somebody doesn't like adds in fights.

✭"When" is not the question , it is more of a "will".
Devs did say they wanted to have Cyrodiil being the PvP , with that said ,it may change.
The reason why i wonder if this is a good idea or not , is the game balance , curretly they will already have to worry about the PvE (with trials , they better balance this right) and the current PvP , which is meant for zerg wars , trying to balance it for 1x1 will for sure change a lot of how things work right now.
And ofc , this is an idea that should only be considered sometime in the future , the current balance is already horrible."Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

As stated by the Dev in charge of PvP.. as well as the thoughts of many players who have experienced it in multiple games.
Cyrodiil is their focus. They are very proud of their PvP zone, and they want the war to be main focus of PvP in ESO. Any addition to PvP can and will take away from that focus. They did hint at adding some type of "mini games"(i assume some type of quests for smaller groups) in cyrodiil itself. And I think if they do it right they can satisfy most of the PvP player base.. both for and against arena/battlegrounds.1 -

Brian wheeler already said E-sport , arenas and dueling are a possibility after Cyrodill is finished ( imperial city) if the community wants it.2 -

Kyotee0071✭✭✭Regardless if they add it or not, it's still a game full of potential.
I was just posting this because I keep seeing folks asking for Competitive Arena's to be added. So I thought I would speak up again for Battlegrounds/Warzones.
I for one always enjoyed Battlegrounds more so than arena for small scale pvp do to the battlegrounds being objective based, not just team death match. Though I did enjoy arena pvp as well, and the matches were intense.
If they make battlegrounds with actual objectives and not copy GW2's "stand in the glowing circle battleground format", it could be a great addition to PVP (IMHO).
I also enjoy RVR, so all three work for me!I didn't think my hangover was that bad this morning until I spent 10 minutes trying to log into my old Etch-A-Sketch0 -
xDonMega✭✭✭E-Sport, Arena are possible after they go free to play and put in a cash shop.
Because that's where all of those games have went.
And for other than the purpose of testing things out.. duels have always been retart.Edited by xDonMega on 21 May 2014 00:080 -

✭All the zerg bunnies are worried that if battlegrounds are introduced, no one will join their zergs. I'm sorry, but zerg pvp is incredibly boring. After taking or defending a keep repeatedly on any given day, this crap just gets old and stale with a quickness. it's the same old thing, day in and day out: zerg vs zerg pvp.0 -
Dudis✭✭✭Hopefully never.
I don't zerg btw, I solo or duo with a friend. I enjoy the open world pvp with uneven odds etc.
I guess arenas are alright since it's just a slightly upscaled duel, but BGs with capture the flag and whatnot are the stupidest things ever added to the mmo genre imo.Edited by Dudis on 21 May 2014 14:290 -

So your acting like they don't give definite no to things
Because when people queue up to PvP they actually want to PvP not PvWall and spam AoE when they engage other playersxsorusb14_ESO wrote: »Kyotee0071 wrote: »xsorusb14_ESO wrote: »Nope...Game doesn't need WZ or Arena's.... If you want that game, Might i suggest playing WoW..

Dudis✭✭✭Again, pleas no BGs!
There are other game genres that do all that stuff a lot better in pretty much every way (balance, mechanics etc).
If i want an arena style game I'll go play Quake
If i want an objective based game I'll go play LoL or CS
In this game, I want to expect the unexpected, like being ambushed by a third faction. I want the odds to be uneven from the get go so that i can beat the them. I don't want there to be a way to "win" the game.
I acknowledge That there are issues with this games PvP but I say rather than replacing Cyrodiil, lets just fix it and make it so everyone can have a good time instead. This could be done for example by adding more important open field objectives to promote fighting outside the keeps etc.
But that's just me...Edited by Dudis on 21 May 2014 15:000 -
LordNoah1234Soul ShrivenWhat about a mix of a battleground/arena. Perhaps a dwemer ruin, its 3v3 or 4v4 and you can activate like dwemer machinery and traps to aid you. Then there can be a orc type one along with a nord one.0
