Battlegrounds need better rewards

iCaliban

Current battleground mechanics are unfairly biased against long term players. Waiting 15-30 minutes per match for a paltry ap reward is not sufficient.

Suggestion: for every 5 minutes spent waiting in queue, your next battleground earns 15% more AP. This can be disabled for 4 man premades. If this is too difficult to code, a baseline buff to ap/gold rewards should be considered.

for every 5 minutes waiting, u get 10% more.

if joining as a group (don't care 2, 3, or 4), u don't get the buff.

I dont think we should punish grouping even more than we do now. Solo players do not enjoy getting smashed by a premade, yet this is an mmo. We shouldnt punish social behavior. Which is why i limited my suggestion to full 4 stacks.

I agree that rewards should be improved. They should introduce new sets, but make them more difficult to obtain.
Money wise it is fine, I got tons of purple jewelry to break and sell, I dont complain about that. It just doenst feel really rewarding.

I only ever BG for the XP bonus when leveling up alts. Otherwise you couldn't pay me to play them with the like 50% odds of either getting paired against a premade guild group or encountering the forever-waiting-for-match-to-start bug.

As others have said, adding new, spicy sets to the rewards would definitely be enticing.

Might be unpopular, but making some of the (best) rewards bind-on-pickup (like the PvE arenas) could also be interesting so that you couldn't just buy them off of the guild store for relative peanuts and would actually have to earn them.

But also splitting up queuing formats so that premade groups could get a proper challenge against other premade groups rather than simply preying upon uncoordinated randoms.

yes the mats you get from deconstructing the loot boxes from where you get more things to deconstruct and ocasionaly something useful, and the ap you can buy at the golden vendor with them some weeks are very good.
I thing the rewards are nice and some new nice battleground sets would be more nice, when leveling I always used a set from battlegrounds.

This post doesnt really apply to you then. Wait times for new players or low mmr toons is nonexistent. Some people (the most dedicated due to time played) spend upwards of 15 minutes waiting for a match. The rewards do not scale at all, so the incentive to stick to bgs isnt there.

Maybe zos wants us all to be like you, and just do 1 daily. But that is kinda sad if an entire mode is just for that.
