[VID] We finally did it! 12 Man BG Takeover

Thogard · October 2017

So the <Scrubs Anonymous> crew, together with some of our friends, managed to pull off a BG takeover last night. It took a while to synchronize the queues, but in the end we were successful. We managed to get all twelve of us into the same BG.

We had 12 people in the same discord channel. Three teams of four. The "Game mode" was capture the relic... but that isn't how we played it

(Note: because all 12 of us know each other and are on opposite teams trying to kill each other, the amount of s^%$ talk is pretty insane. If you are offended easily please put the video on mute!)

This was, by far, the most fun I've ever had in a battlegrounds. I hope that in the future we can do something like this without having to perfectly time our queues.

EDIT: fixed video i think...

ZOS doesn't know the market they are missing if they put some effort into fixing bgs people would be all over bgs they would sell morrowind so easy to pvpers and any new bgs crown store they choose to make

That looks extremely fun, this is what BGs should've been.

Lexxypwns · October 2017

Well, that wasn't 5 seconds...

Would be awesome to get some kind of "custom match" for BGs. Where you could pick game type, map, and a invite exactly who you wanted in the match. Would allow for playing with friends, tournaments, etc.

Kartalin · October 2017

That's awesome man, wish that kind of functionality was built into the game.

I was already in a BG group all yesterday evening, was this what you were wanting me to help with? Sorry I missed it if so.

That would solve a lot of pre made vs pug complaining if the gave premade groups the ability to que against one another .

Yup! It was! Most fun i've ever had in BGs. Doing this with a guild and playing people I know just added a really fun element to it. If you listen to the discord, you can hear people directly talking about getting focused and focusing. Reminded me of playing videogames on a splitscreen TV back in the day.

i was admittedly very drunk during this event. It took us a while to actually line this up lol. Really wish we could do this every time.. even if it isn't with a guild, it'd be great to just get 12 people together and do a BG with each other every time.

If you look at the score at the end you can see that it was very close (literally 21 to 20 to 19). We set up the teams that way on purpose so that it'd be even.

HA yeah i was wrong about quite a lot of things in that match. I was dyslexic too about the triple dawnbreaker thing (it was a sub assault, not a DBoS). I missed a ton of executes too. Definitely not my best playing, but was a ton of fun regardless.

For what it's worth, you were so confident that I had to rewind lol

I'm just gonna throw in a random 'PLS DON'T ENABLE CP IN BGS!' comment. Every thread needs at least one.

They should also disable volcanic rune in the BGs

gabriebe · October 2017

Been saying this forever, BGs would be a ton more fun if you could enter them as a Battle Master with your own people and make your own teams. Easy to organize Guild vs Guild events or intraguild tournaments.

I don't know if it's sad or not but I definitely recognize the name of everyone in this thread since you all seem to be the only ones playing the BGs lol

Deffinely looked like fun... but that Stamplar was out of Stamina 90% of the match... get more regen

Idk what's more PUGgish, running out of stam or scotch

Edit: scotch, definitely scotch

Had me dying xD

Feanor · October 2017

Which Scotch? I’m a bit of a Connaisseur in that regard, loving the smoky ones. Laphroaig! Mmhmmm.

Erm. I’d love to do that as well, a 12 player mode you can just set up with chosen players would be real fun.

I think I was drinking a glen fidditch 12 that a client had given me as a gift. Can’t remember. I usually drink cheaper stuff (and less cliche) but when I stream I like bring out the recognizable names.

My #1 criteria has always been how much of a hangover I get (if I get one at all

)the smoky ones taste good but they tend to give me headaches.

Despite the fact that I look and talk like a 12 year old, I’m actually in my 30s so I have to be careful with that

ecru · October 2017

i wonder what this says about how many people are actually queueing for bg's?

Thogard · October 2017

There were about 12 people who queued up before us, which took about 7 minutes

Peaty Scotch or GTFO!

You should play make a mageblade btw, they're gonna be OP AF next patch. After the tree nerf you'll devour stamdens who aren't using SnB ult and the ones who are using it will be giving up most of their team utility(still provide mitigation debuffs, some off heals, and aoe burst tho).

Stamden top overall spec still, but mageblade no. 2 and far more versatile, plus superior in duels although not head to head because shimmering, in addition to some of the best support available. Can guard tank, can aoe damage spec, can play slippery melee with 2h, destro/resto and with the fossilize nerf DKs, one of the biggest threats to mageblade, become a literal non-issue, can't pin you down and therefore get rekt.
