Are battle grounds coming this year?

The only thing keeping me logging in every day is to feed the mounts. Cyrodill is boring when you get one shotted by max cp players. It's not fun for new players wanting to do pvp. If ESO had battle grounds like war song gulch and Arathi basin I'd be addicted to this game. We also need more classes too. Like Druid or shaman or necromancer.

    When they finally give up fixing Cyrodiil and all the PvP players are gone, they'll finally release arenas and battlegrounds.

    I hope for an announcement for battlegrounds in Q4. They've playtested them before during shows, and a fourth quarter PvP focused release, that includes dueling, new rewards, etc? That would be nice.

    I wouldn't put my money on it, but it would be nice.

    They are actively being worked on, as opposed to being discussed.

    So, they are on their way. I doubt this year though.

    I would like necromancry to be introduced, but as a skill line, not a class unto itself.

    This should be done, maybe, like a underground mages guild, something that you have to choose, one or the other, you cant be a necromancer and in the mages guild at the same time.
    I mean, i have no problems, lore speaking if you can, to be honest every other game in the series has had some law against necromancy in their incarnations of the mages guild yet they sold the spells to summon them in the guild hall, so im guessing that the laws were not strictly enforced. or everyone just hated the leader who made the rule. edit: except skyrim, im not a moron

    I very much support 20v20v20 PvP Battlegrounds, and as an unofficial thing, 1v1 dueling (as long as dueling inside city limits is a crime punishable for 'disturbing the peace', similar to theft).

    But I think the so-called 'balance' of the game would support 20v20v20. I DONT feel it would support 2v2 or 4v4.

    I would like to see them, but I believe having such small group combat would really cause more complaint and issues. I don't think a 4 man team of nightblades would be balanced against a 4 man team of mixed classes. But I also don't think we'll see many 20 man teams of nightblades.

    You can always go to the "No CP" campaign...

    Personally I like PvP in cyrodil for its free form open battle setup.
    But I always like more options... so if they were to add battlegrounds style PvP for those PvP-fanatics who just want to jump right into the action... I wouldn't complain.

    But so far... I have not even heard them consider that soet of thing. But hey, maybe next year they will...

    New classes would annoy me... if done as new classes, so I'd have to make a new character just to try the new classes, and would have to leave my old toons behind. That's why I usually mention the better idea I had: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/240186/class-morph-idea/p1

    Oh, and by the way... we could also use more wepons skill lines, to spice things up a bit and make the game interesting again for those who had reached the "doneitall" point, like: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/259011/additional-weapon-skill-ideas/p1

    I fully support adding new subskill lines, like 'necromancer'. I also fully support new weapon skills, like unarmed or spear. And I fully support new guild lines.

    However, I don't support new classes. I fully recognize the fact that new skill lines for all existing classes, and entirely new classes, both create the same amount of balance issues. Neither is better, or worse, than the other.

    But for the sake of my own personal enjoyment, new skill lines allows my current characters to grow and expand in new ways. New classes means I make a new character, and level them up through the tedious process of either grinding or questing... again.

    I would push for making every current class skill an independent skill line and getting rid of the archaic and very mmo-esque 'class' system altogether, before supporting adding any new classes.

    I gain CP in Azura. It just doesn't use CP for battles is all. So you can level up they just don't count against players.

    Cause of the truth. Blizzard can't.

    Just read their own forums. Nothing but hate over class imbalance (to be fair, it's the same on every games forums that I've seen).
