Battlegrounds like DAOC for 1-49

cronius77b14_ESO

Would others be interested in battlegrounds similar to DAOC or warhammer Online for the 1-49 leveling experience? I personally would like to see something similar with ESO. Instead of huge Cyro like map copies I would love to see them add level brackets from 10-19,20-29.30-39.40-49 and each battleground have a different realms feel with objectives to be taken in different factions art and lore etc. This would be a great way for lower toons to gain alliance ranks as they level up their characters to 50 earn gear for vet rank 1 and give a viable alternative to leveling in pvp. Also this would teach the fundamentals on a equal playing field for new players to learn how pvp works in ESO instead of just having a herd mentality following the zerge. One thing I loved about DAOC was the battlegrounds that from early levels on you knew how to play pvp and were actually good at it by the time you hit 50.

Since Cyrodill routinely hard freezes my computer every 5 minutes or so even with the most up to date drivers and high end hardware since beta making PvP impossible in ESO, I would be in favor of ANYTHING.... ANYTHING other than Cyrodill. Anything at all, PvP duels, small arena battles, ranked or unranked matches, I don't care. Just give me the ability to play with other people at all without the game crashing every five minutes, period. I would be a happy camper so to speak, if they could just get this one thing right after all this time.

you're not the only one this is happening to . I get hard lockups that I have to restart in major hubs also not just Cyro. This is a ongoing issue since release pretty much after every major patch releases. After about a month of hotfixes weekly they finally get it back to normal only to break it again in the next major patch.

I often leveled from 1-50 exclusively in battlegrounds. And, of course, I had a few /xp off characters in Molvik. I think non vet is their idea of pvp for lowbies, but to me it's more like classic servers...

So yes, sign me up!

DO the town quests in Cyrodiil, you will get very god exp and encounter alot of enemy players for small 1v1 fights and skirmishes. After the monday update they greatly increased the exp you get from these so alot of people are doing these. even the dungeons and Anchors are hotspots for random PVP skirmshes.

While I fundamentally agree with the OP (I love PvP, but hate Cyrodil), the problem with level-based battlegrounds in general -- in all games to include WoW, Warhammer, and DAoC -- is that they become barren at the lower levels when the wave of players leveling up out-levels them.

New players and players leveling alts find out there is nobody to play against.

[sarcasm]
The problem with respect to ESO would be magnified; with battlegrounds, lower level players wouldn't bother going to Cyrodil. Cyrodil would become a ghost town populated only by elitist guilds playing at odd hours so they can maximize their AP in pursuit of the emperorship without opposition... of course, they're already doing that... and without low-level players in Cyrodil, there wouldn't be any cannon-fodder for the egomaniacs to crow about when they insta-kill them using their exploits/hacks.
[/sarcasm]

Obviously not an acceptable solution...

Isn't there a campaign for Non-Veterans only? Since everyone gets up-leveled to 50, and there's only 49 and below in that campaign, wouldn't that server the same purpose?
