So, that blizzard map, yeah or nah?

Taylor_MB

Strong nah for me. It's PvP, keep it gimmick free.

Other cause i

too early to tell, I felt like i was trapped in david bowie's labyrinth. I do like the weather effects though, darker nights in BG's could be cool

I don't know what you are talking about.

Thogard

Yeah, it's sweet.

My minimap does not work on that map.

I didn’t realize how much I needed the minimap until it was taken away from me and I literally started walking off cliffs lol.

ToRelax

Yeah, it's sweet.

Idc about the wheather effects, but the map is nice.

Jamini

Yeah, it's sweet.

I like the limited visibility, and the map itself is very urban and vertical. It's a great deathmatch arena.

Fischblut

Nah, it's lame as.

I like the snow, but nothing else Especially I don't like that it's bugged

Kartalin

I played 8 or so BGs last night and only got one match in Deeping Drome and none in the blizzard map so I’m still eager to try it out

eXnihilO

Yeah, it's sweet.

The entirety of BG is a gimmick though when you're forced to PvDERP when you mostly want to battle other players... the weather actually makes it funner for me, but I'm the kind of person who likes fog/rain maps in other games, too.

No map is boring
Rest is ok once you get used to it

Kas

Other cause i

i like the map layout: z-axis, ways not too far/kiteable but sufficiently. sight can be much higher than gap closer distance, etc. so far it doesn't seem to have abusable spots (arcane uni chaosball disaster).

i don't like the fog, though. it doesn't look terribly well in terms of gfx quality and the view distance is just enough to have no effect in combat but a large effect on proper decision making. if anythng there should also be threats (dealing damage to you) interacting with the fog. as is, it's just lowering the advantage of players with proper awareness and doing so to a rather insignificant extend.

I highly dislike playing crazy king on the map but love deathmatch & chaosball on it. Didn't have had any other mode so far. But I do love the other new map, it's design reminds me of old starcraft maps, lots of chokepoints and clever layout.

Kartalin

Finally got 1 bg in there last night. Wasn't bad but it seemed to funnel all the players toward the central platform to fight. Not bad depending on your point of few

Trinotops

Other cause i

The blizzard is kinda cool, but pretty redundant when you can still see player's team crest.

Ashamray

Yeah, it's sweet.

Absolutely sweet. Atmosphere is so cool.
I really like environmental things, want a BG with partial darkness \ moving rocks!

Feanor

Yeah, it's sweet.

Death match is really fun on it. Lots of LoS opportunities.

Putinof

Oh,

for a split second i thought we gonna get a real battleground map like wow has..

Last time i got baited so hard, i preordered morrowind. silly me ;(

Rohaus

Yeah, it's sweet.

I love the weather effect!! And the map is very cool not only in design but looks as well!

Waffennacht

Yeah, it's sweet.

Consoles don't have mini maps anyway

ofSunhold

Yeah, it's sweet.

Love it. That's exactly the kind of gimmick they can keep pitching if they want.

idk

Yea, OP was about as clear as mud. From reading the OP one would think he is talking about the maintenance schedule and is merely challenged with conveying that. Assuming someone knows about upcoming changes leaves much to the imagination.

Skander

Yeah, it's sweet.

It's one of the best level design i've seen in this game. Small, straight for the game mechanic, played in high medium and low floors. I like it

Koensol

Yeah, it's sweet.

When I am playing my Orc it feels like I am defending my home. I really like this map.

Carbonised

Yeah, it's sweet.

It's called "environment", deal with it.

Not everyone's type of pvp fun involves 12 players stacking up in a flat, featureless map and whack each other endlessly.
Especially since Battlegrounds are still dominated by those premade coordinated groups that steamroll over everyone else, not to mention a horde of gankblades that keep ignoring match mechanics in order to chase kills..

At least Battlegrounds provide some glory time for healers and supports, for tanks, and for speedy characters. Not everything needs to translate to how much DPS you can smack across someone else, if you only care about that, you're free to stay in Cyrodiil.

I personally would like much more environment in Battlegrounds, elevated grounds, several layers and levels, weather conditions to hinder line of sight etc.

I also find it a bit funny that those "hardcore" pvp'ers who usually whine about environment or "PvDerp" are the same ones who run behind every rock and tree stump whenever they're outmatched in Cyrodiil. Long live hypocrisy.
