I don't want to play capture the flag or chaos ball.

Also I personally love Chaosball, but I main StamDK, so, probably a lot of us do.

Well, now I'll definitely go full on deathmatch every match.

To remove the option for specific BG mode is a very bad decision. Deathmatch and IC are the only good PVP content in this game.

Better random mode than queues of 15 minutes. The death match only makes sense if you are only warden.

If it was up to me, they'd scrap every mode but Deathmatch altogether.

Not happy about being unable to queue for what I like, but AM happy to be able to take folks in again who would otherwise not set foot in BG.

This one is for flag games ONLY, but hubby is a DM king and together (as guild leaders) we can at least take new folks in to BGs again that would never do so on their own.

So, yeah, the give and take of it *sigh*.

Wouldnt keep you from playing flag games if they put specific queue back in though, would it?
Its pretty much better for everyone.

You realize that some of us don't like the other modes?

Why are you forcing people to play modes we personally don't enjoy, it was plenty active you didn't have to them all the modes into 1 queue.

One of the reasons I hate these modes is because people purposely build into these heavy tanky builds where you can't even kill them, dps classes are inferior in capture the flag, chaos ball. Also, all i want to do is play pvp and battle against other players not run around in circles looking for a ball or capturing flags. My MAIN reason I dont play cyrodil/other modes besides deathmatch is because most of the time is spend running around. That is not my definition of fun.

Please for the love of variety and the reason I play ESO(deathmatch), please, i beg you guys, please, pleaaaaase seperate the modes, at least for solo play. I just want to have my favorite part of the game returned to me, please guys...

BG's did not require any changes, it was perfect just the way it was. Why did you guys all of the sudden decide to make this change? I don't recall anyone demanding it or complaining about the lack of activity. I can understand if it was because of lack of activity but BG's has been mega active since i started to play. Longest queue times are around 10 mins.

I wanted to play with my friends in BGs for a year.

they should just remove or rework these modes then. they just suck. a few ppl like them im sure but the majority do not. you can see that from the leaderboards before this patch

I enjoy all modes, and while I agree Death Match seems to be the most popular, it's difficult to get the sort of scores in Objective Modes you can get in DM, since people who play the objectives well will shut the match down before anybody has a very high score. A perfect 50 tick match of Chaosball or 5 run Relic match only nets you about 3k.

Anyhow overall my thought is clearly the BGs queue is a long work in progress. At least we don't have to hit accept 50 times in a row.

Above anything else though, above group queues, specific mode queues, proc set balance, anything: I want all my team mates to have health bars. Every other consideration is miniscule compared to this, for me.

Sure but if I recall on pc na at least the scores for flag games would be 1-3 high ppl then like a couple 30k and the nothing. As opposed to a full list of multiple hundred k of dm.

It isn't just about you though is it. I'm a tank main, I don't want to be playing TDM where I can't even fight back because I hit like a wet noodle.
If you want TDM go play cowadoody.
The team comp is expected to be 2 dd, 1 heal, 1 tank like a dungeon, support, defence, offence and games like CTF and chaos ball reflect this.
What use is a tank gonna be in TDM, even a healer is useless because of getting nuked fast.

I don't like TDM in eso, you don't like CTF. So chaos ball in the middle ground.
Get over it.

And how would having the choice to queue into your favored game type prevent you from playing CTF? 🤔🤔🤔

Because having group queues and choose your own game modes means that a new dps only TDM meta will take over battlegrounds and the other game modes will be ghost towns...
Use your intelligence.

the other modes being dead means nobody wants to play them right? so you'd force the majority of players to play a mode they dont want to play just so a few others can get faster pop?

You guys wanted group queu back, that is the price to pay to not have huge wait time since they double the number of queue

Luckily all game modes are deathmatch if you que for premade. You just dont get points for kills.

This is also true for solo queue in my experience.
Great success!

In theory it might if it made the queues so long no one could get into their preferred mode in a reasonable amount of time.

That being said: I don't see why it could hurt to try leaving it in place and see if that actually happened. They could always remove the specific mode queue later on if what they fear actually happened.
