PTS Update 18 - Feedback Thread for Battlegrounds

ZOS_GinaBruno

This is the official feedback thread for Battlegrounds and the recent updates to the system. Specific feedback that the team is looking for includes the following:

• Did you try the new daily Battleground finder?
  • If so, did you feel the reward you received was adequate? What reward did you get?
• Did you get any Outfit Style pages, and did you understand how to use them?
• Do you have any other general feedback?

I recommend making a new weekly quest to play about 10-20 games of a certain game mode with a massive ap payout if your going to let people que directly into any they want. Make a que Incentive that appears occasionally that offers additional ap and rewards for playing game modes that are less popular like ctf and chaosball. Currently you'll have a huge concentration of players queuing for deathmatch and even in live servers we have pugs and even some premades playing objective games like it's deathmatch. Please just do something so the ques can be more healthy for non deathmatch game modes.

Chaosballs if you pick up and die at the same time will stay on a player and not damage them on respawn. They can then respawn and then stay inside their spawnpoint unreachable and not even worry about dieing but please add a mechanic that will reset the chaos ball if it detects you havnt taken damage in 10 seconds. Many games have been exploited with this trick

Also in the future try adding 3 motifs based off the pit daemons, storm lords, and fire drakes and have bg gear drop in divine prosecution gear as well as ordinator gear as there's a new bg camp in alinor

That's frustrating.

I thought I preferred death match, its actually quite dull. Doing grab bag meant I played them all and got Into them all.

Will be annoying if DM queue is stacked and others are dead so I agree. Boost the random daily rewards I think.

I happy about the pre made match finding, extra goodies, etc etc and base game to grow numbers.

And that remaining noCP is 100% required. The action is so much better now. The dull 15 minute out of time grudge tests with tanks are available in Vivec!!

However duels should be noCP so folks have a consistent feel to these things.

My general feedback is this.

Basically what I have been saying for the past two years: I think it is a mistake to try and balance two entirely different game systems (CP and no CP) at the same time.

OK, so people don't like "tanky" CP builds in battlegrounds. That's fine. I don't like playing classes that have been overnerfed to account for CP game-play in a non-CP environment where the justifications for those nerfs don;t even exist. As a magicka build it would be nice to dodge or block occasionally without running out of stamina. And I want to throw my computer out the window trying to survive in a no CP setting when ZOS took away my class skills to defend myself (like blinding Flashes) and the only stuff I have has been nerfed and scales with CP (heals, block, etc.). It is absolutely infuriating trying to compete with classes whose defense mechanics work just as fine with no CP (particularly NBs whose cloak just forces misses and even with 1 billion CPs I still can't see cloak).

I also strongly dislike how more CP influenced things like resource drain poison and proc sets are too strong. Also I have to take into account having massive amount of my build devoted to regen just to try and kill things because I don't have on demand burst like some classes out there (sorcs, NBs, and stam Wardens), let a lone a halfway decent ultimate that might help in that goal.

No CP does not effect all classes that same and the whole reason why we have things like Battle Sririt and all the nerfs that hit our classes is because of CP. You can;t just take them away and expect everything to be fine.

This was the primary reason I avoided Battlegrounds, I have many screenshots I can provide that shows I am capable of winning and don't need the "crutch" of CPs. Open up a 1.5 server for Battlegrounds and I'll que up.

Please figure out a future of this game that has one single system so balancing is at least a pipe dream

Add queues for chaosball and crazy king.

I tried to que. After an hour I gave up and went into Cyrodill. I have done this 3 times so far this week. There appears to be no one playing BGs.
