Mayhem and BG - results.

Nick_Balza · February 2021

To be honest, BG have never been better.
I am talking about the part, what players were doing and condition of any combat situation I've witnessed.
During Mayhem:
Final score usually 400/400/500. I've witnessed few draws 400\400\400 (very solid against usual relic runs with scores 100/500/0). Same about chaosball and land grabs. Deathmatch became something impressive: many healers in solo teams, coordination, helping each other. Taking teammates out from tough situations.
Everyone cares about objectives and doing their best for victory. Cheesy proc builds and immortal warden tanks/doggies are not that big deal when they are facing a team and getting slaughtered in 1 vs 2\3\4 confrontation.

I understand that we are getting back to dull weekdays but I think that adding some rare rewards, which can be obtained on Battlegrounds only could really help to make everyday Battlegounds better. For instance:
- Pieces of mount
- Motif chapters
- Furnishing

So... How was your Mayhem?

Fun, though in BGs I pretty much got nothing but teams made of the best players. I did want to see more noobs lol

I tried BGs because of the event and I was clueless about what I had to do.
Which relic?! Where is it? How do I pick it up??!! Thick Nord, I am.
*but*
I really wanted the achievement, so I decided to git gud decent.
(Yes, I picked up the relic eventually...). I mostly tried to be helpful to my teammates, especially when someone showed they cared/knew their s##t, so I was escorting them, killing those that tried to put them down and spamming rapids.

I'm done for now, but after I'll watch some instructional videos eheh, I'll do them from time to time!

Absolutely man! I noticed the same thing. Maybe it was because the increased AP, but people were actually playing to win and not just taking the L so they can pretend every match is deathmatch. Made for some close matches and actually enjoyable battles. Wish MYM didn't have to end tbh. Now its back to carrying teams on my back while they're off thirst killing randos
