    Front page has been updated with the questions only Zenimax can answer.

    There was also the question about the rarity of lopsided matches in 3-sided, when compared to 2-sided.

    But is that a question directed at ZOS, or at everyone?

    Everyone. No way to know where the answer may come from.

    I ask because I was keeping that section for questions that can really only be answered by ZOS.
    Can you help solve any of the FOUR critical flaws of two-sided BGs ?

    Looking for feedback on How to fix the 3-sided objective modes

    I see. In that case I'd like to know what in God's name did ZOS think was going to happen in 8v8 chaosball.

    Deathmatch 1 and 2, no chance of losing:

    Relic, no chance of losing. Throwing in the towel the moment they lose the first relic. Fourth flaw:

    Chaosball 1 and 2, no chance of losing. Soul gazing session with ball carriers:

    Domination, no chance of winning. We couldn't even reach the flags. Third critical flaw of 2-sided:

    Good news everyone! The posts can stop and new ones complaining about 3 sided being unfair/unbalanced/no chance of winning/etc. can start on September 28!

    And three-sided Battlegrounds will return permanently on September 28, with Update 51

    It will still reduce the number of players dissatisfied with the BG outcomes. Coming out of a BG with second place is still great.

    3-sided BGs also take a lot of the edge off of simple skill and gear gaps, and grants many opportunities for teams to get ahead through strategy. You can, using good strategy, even sneak in a first place win against a team that is stomping the match.

    As someone who has played loads of BGs since its launch and through the 2-team phase, 3-team BGs are vastly superior.

    I agree 100%. Except this thread started as a request to bring back 3-sided, quote below. This thread should die excpet we got more random screenshots that are irrelevant seeing 3-sided is coming.

    Two-sided Battlegrounds are too difficult to balance. Three-sided Deathmatch is not. Please add it as a permanent option for solo players.

    Do you remember what happened the last time players stopped trying to find solutions to the game-breaking problems that plague Battlegrounds?

    Domination, zero chance of winning. We couldn't reach the flags. Third critical flaw of 2-sided:

    Crazy King, zero chance of losing:

    Deathmatch 1 & 2, zero chance of losing:

    Relic, zero chance of losing. Enthralled by the first and third flaws, Orange-5 ditched his team to go around looking for newcomers:

    Chaosball 1 & 2, zero chance of losing. Staring contest with ball carriers:

    Yes, threads like this one with random screens that don't move any discussion forward disappeared.
