Where are the New Battlegrounds?!

Iccotak · April 2021

The last time ESO got a battleground was back in Murkmire of late 2018....

Think about that.

When they’d be great additions for Chapters & DLCs - something for the PvP community to get excited about.

There’s all kinds of unique maps that ZOS could make up to change things up in BG.

Just like other features BG should continue to be expanded upon.

I would 100% support getting a new map or two.

But my prioritized BG wish list is:

1. The ability to play Deathmatch more frequently
2. New gear set rewards
3. New maps

1. a proper skill rating or elo rating along with a better matchmaker.
2. No proc bg's.
3. A win/loss and elo rating leaderboard with unranked option for those who want to practice in DM only.

This patch, I've had very few matches in Eld Angavar and the full-size Istirus, where it has the flag on top of that tower off to the side, and an unusual amount of matches in the Arcane University.

Think of the battleground themes we could have had the past couple of years.

Elsweyr & Dragons

Jode

Skyrim, Blackreach, & Vampires

Or Deadlands

This. I want a real ranked battleground, the skill difference between player is ALWAYS huge, not because there is not enough people, but because there is no skill rating
(no proc would be boring tho, BG is the only place where proc set aren't too op, I can kill everyone even white lg for example)

i'm not sure man. I think the problem is players were complaining about long qeue times. Many believe they forced random modes cause they added solo qeues. I think they did it to keep qeue times shorter. But i also think that many would have no problem qeueing for 30 mins while playing cyrodil or questing or farming. And then eventually when people realize the matches are way more competitive and not as lopsided more will start to join and play them.

It sure does seem like there is no mmr matchmaker at this point though. Only in online communities do players have fun stomping noobs and ragequitting the base. To me thats suspect in itself. They don't exist in real life neighborhood in atheltic sports.

I'd rather have the proc set meta end before worrying about a new map.

CooloutAC · April 2021

what pvp community? The 30 dm bots that are the only regulars?

Ezorus · May 2021

2018? Thats nuts.. I'd like a sizeable map as big as one of the IC zones but without the mobs

Orange_fire_dragon · May 2021

before we add more maps etc.

Can we all agree that capture the relic needs to go? that mode is really bad experience overall. You get stalemates, you cannot deathmatch in it to pass time. Just waste of time.

Bashev · May 2021

Yeah we can take a new map or maybe a new mode (if it is designed well) but we are not so greedy and we will even take the option to queue only for Death Match mode. I even want to pay crowns for that option! Please ZoS make it happen!

Deadlands map?
