I can’t begin to describe how disappointed I am that we will be going through yet another patch cycle without being able to play battlegrounds with our friends. I was expecting some sort of update or at LEAST adding duo que back into BGs. Duo ques do not have the same amount of pug stomping ability as a full premade and we can still enjoy grouping up together which is to be expected in an online game...
It’s been months of “testing” and “collecting data” on solo que BGs and we haven’t heard a single peep from ZOS regarding future plans for instanced pvp. Cyrodiil is not the same and I would rather stop playing the game altogether if that is the only end in sight for getting to pvp with a group. At this point I am only playing to spend time with my boyfriend and our favorite activity was duo battlegrounds together. We even used to host BG tournaments in-game and would do 4v4v4s. This is all impossible now and is killing the pvp community outside of the few people who enjoy solo queuing.
Cyrodiil is a boring lag infested horse riding simulator, pve is fun but once you get all of your skins and achievements the replayability is low, same goes for questing. What’s left for end game then? Housing? Having ranked instanced pvp would add so much longevity to the game. I know the performance is in shambles right now, but with the improvements they’re working on it could be an amazing addition.
All I want is some sort of update on the state of battlegrounds and group queing. I know I’m not alone in this either. Having a general roadmap would be nice as well. I think a lot of us feel very much in the dark regarding the state of pvp. It’s been months of waiting and disappointment.
