How so?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.
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.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 modes0 -

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?

I don't think anyone could have predicted just how problematic the two-sided format would be, but out of all the game modes, 8v8 Chaosball is the one that puzzles me the most.
As a healer, I find myself spending nearly every cb match twiddling my thumbs at base staring at ball carriers. Is this really the intended design for the mode?

Years of development that could have produced dozens of new maps and effective solutions to the simple problems plaguing 3-sided were instead wasted on the 2-sided format.
