    One aspect I think hasn't been discussed yet on this thread is PVErs who want to tank or heal MUST do PVP to unlock Warhorn, Barrier, and to a lesser extent caltrops for additional tank CC (I don't hate dark convergence for this reason. Tanks have been begging for an aoe taunt for YEARS-- and not everyone wants to play as a perma-WW tank with tormentor. DC isn't a taunt, but it's an amazing CC without the massive resource drain of silver leashing & chaining everything, or running around stabbing everything with pierce armor/ ransack--it also helps us stack mobs nice and neat for our groups in dungeons and trials to melt them down)

    The most efficient way to level Alliance skills lines is the daily bonus BGs--specifically, objective based BGs where we stand a chance of our teams placing 1st or 2nd.

    I've noticed a lot of comments from PVPers who are happy DM queue is returning and mocking PVErs with the equivalent of 'git gud', or, if you're not a real PVPer, and don't want to PVP, GTFO. The fact is: many PVErs DON'T want to be in PVP areas to begin with-- We HAVE to be for 2 out of 3 battle roles, and during events, because otherwise needed skills are locked away, and we can't get event rewards--which AREN'T just for PVP events-- they're quarterly. We could be collecting fragments for MONTHS, only to get screwed on the final piece we need because yet again, ZOS is forcing us into IC instead of letting us go to Cyrodil, or converting all BGs to DM.

    --BTW ZOS-- don't think I didn't notice the dates of the open ended BG experiment will most likely coicide with the next event and possibly the one after. If tickets are PVP, and tied to IC or BGs, you've effectively given your PVE players no way to avoid feeding trolls.

    Look: I get PVP DM fans are happy the DM Queue is returning. Honestly, I'm happy for you. You deserve to have your DM queue back. I know this was something the death squads have been wanting for quite a while. There's just no good reason why ZOS chose to REMOVE the other battle modes as well.

    Getting trolled by DM fans teabagging dead PVErs who just want to get Warhorn/Barrier, or event tickets doesn't encourage us to play PVP. It reminds us of all the reasons we HATE IT. Being taunted to 'git gud' at a game mode we despise and are FORCED to play to be effective in PVE as tanks and healers doesn't encourage us either.

    I expect to die in PVP. Not all my characters are geared for it, and I hate it, so why bother wasting materials golding out new sets when I'm just there for Warhonr/Barrier, and event tickets? Why bother with the expense of re-speccing my entire character's attribute points, skill points, and CP just so that the 15min I spend in PVP that day won't suck *quite* as badly-- while I've effectively gimped myself for the play-style I actually enjoy and spend the most time with? I'm okay with dying--I try not to, and I go down swinging as best I can--but if someone good at & geared for PVP turns me into little gibblets, so be it.

    What I can't stand is the constant teabagging from some BG teams, and the troll behavior. If it wasn't for the teababbing trolls and the teams who treat every BG like DM, PVP in BGs is actually kinda fun. My preference is the objective games, but even DM isn't too awful if no one's being a trolling, teabagging, toxic bully. Those players spoil it for the rest of us-- and now ZOS has effectively given them open season.

    I won't be playing BGs for the duration of their experiment. When at all possible, I prefer not to feed the trolls.

    Oh comon PvE'ers have 2 Midyear Mayhem with double ap plus war torte to level up the skill line very quickly.They dont really need Bg's for it.

    And PVPers that like Deathmatch game mode had it in a rotation of game modes that they could play. they ALSO could go run around in Cryo and IC looking for fights to get their kills.

    If you would have read my other comments on this thread you would know I am against this DM only thing,but I dont think PvE'ers have to be taken into consideration in this matter because Bgs are PvP and people have tons of options to lvl up alliance war skill line in other ways than Bg's.
    Contrariwise, if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.Lewis Carroll

    "We've noticed the majority of players don't want to run away from every fight to cap uncontested flags, so we implemented the gamemode that most people want."

    By... taking away options from players.

    How is *removing content* ever a good idea?

    Prior to this change, objective players were arguing for the current system because "the BG pop is too small" when DM players were asking for a DM only queue. Well, this is what you get now. DM is a better mode with more dedicated BG players interested in playing it, so using the same objective player logic, we can't have an objective queue because "the BG pop is too small."

    By the way, you don't have any options with the current system anyway. The gamemodes are random, there is no choice.

    So no other reason other than vengeance?

    Doesn't seem like a good reason for a change to me.

    P.S.: This isn't what "I get now"... I never asked for queues to be taken away.

    The queues never should have changed from what they were in the first place, which was separate queues for each match type (deathmatch, flag games, capture games), and a random that includes any of them.

    There is 0 data to collect. Simply go back to what it was and let people queue for whatever BG they want. If the queue is slightly longer, so be it. I'll do some solo questing while I am waiting. The queues were never even as bad as a DPS dungeon queue, so it's a very small price to pay to allow players to choose which battleground they want to play.

    Ehh, did we have it in a true/fair rotation though?

    There was a reason that DM mode came up a lot in the random queue prior to removing the individual mode queues. Because more players would individually queue for DM and the random queue would fill holes. More players did DM which made DM occur more in the random.

    Now, there are 5 gamemodes that the random queue chooses from, and only 1 of them is DM. The rest are all objective based.

    So they took a player base that apparently prefered DM modes, to the point that they appeared far more often than the 4 other modes, and they forced that player base into a queue that heavily favored non DM modes, with only a 20% chance to get a non objective game.

    So no, DM is not in the rotation fairly. Now, if they weighted Deathmatch at 50% and the other game modes at 16 each%, then maybe it would be fair. Giving DM a 50% chance to show and objective a 50% chance to show.

    Or just add in 3 new DM variations. Something to even the chances of getting actual DM modes and objective modes.

    Because right now, it just isn't working. And the objective modes are mostly nonsense be design.

    If pvers have no word to say concerning BG, then WHY does PVP rules everything happening in PVE ?
    Pvp are not happy so they are deciding that we pvers have nothing to do in BG

    No one can even imagine that some of us pvers simply enjoy doing those little match pvp ? Its different from cyro and IC. Its the place where i can learn way more than in cyro. I dont need to be number one to enjoy it. And yes i was loving Chaos, relics as i already said.
    I also did enjoy DM, a lot, i could progress, BUT only when i was not facing those bulldozer killers in a premade team. When facing those i could only progress my number of deaths.

    Now, they closed the door. Reading the comments here, i feel more like Elitist killers will be now deciding all.

    And actually, near to my 70, i am raging against that decision. ESO is creating a wall between the eso community, allowing elitist from all side to reign on the game, be in PVE or PVP. i just wonder if ESO is still ESO

    I did read and understand your other comments regarding Deathmatch. I am sorry if my point was missed. The one i take issue with is the one about PVE'rs and how they choose to level Alliance skills. Yes, there are other options for leveling the skill. I was just pointing out that there ARE other options for people that just love to get kills in Deathmatch mode BG's. that really was my point.

    The reasons a player consumes content doesn't invalidate their opinion or feedback on the matter. whether its just to try out said content, complete an endeavor, transmute stones, style pages, to be the king of BG's, to own other players, or just to have fun. Feedback from ALL players should be had, even players that DON'T currently run BG's, because the underlying reasons why they don't matter as well.

    i think a better test of the system would be to just allow people the option to queue for Deathmatch BG's alone, and then remove DM from the random rotation.

    You have a good point, in that it was a change. I understand it. But removing everything BUT DM goes too far in the opposite way. I got into BG's more because of the rotation of the objective based matches and I disagree that they were nonsense. I enjoy them more than DM rounds. so while I get the point that DM wasn't showing up as often as people wanted, how exactly is it fair in ANY way that my preferred play mode goes from likely to none for an unknown period of time? I would be OK if there was an end date for this test, but that wasn't included which means that my preferred format is now completely dead.

    So what do i DO instead? what are my options here? I have no recourse here. Like i said in previous post. they should have just allowed players to queue for DM's and let the randoms roll with either DM removed, or as the status qou.

    I've noticed a lot of comments from PVPers who are happy DM queue is returning and mocking PVErs with the equivalent of 'git gud', or, if you're not a real PVPer, and don't want to PVP, GTFO. The fact is: many PVErs DON'T want to be in PVP areas to begin with-- We HAVE to be for 2 out of 3 battle roles, and during events, because otherwise needed skills are locked away, and we can't get event rewards--which AREN'T just for PVP events-- they're quarterly. We could be collecting fragments for MONTHS, only to get screwed on the final piece we need because yet again, ZOS is forcing us into IC instead of letting us go to Cyrodil, or converting all BGs to DM.

    --BTW ZOS-- don't think I didn't notice the dates of the open ended BG experiment will most likely coicide with the next event and possibly the one after. If tickets are PVP, and tied to IC or BGs, you've effectively given your PVE players no way to avoid feeding trolls.

    Look: I get PVP DM fans are happy the DM Queue is returning. Honestly, I'm happy for you. You deserve to have your DM queue back. I know this was something the death squads have been wanting for quite a while. There's just no good reason why ZOS chose to REMOVE the other battle modes as well.

    Getting trolled by DM fans teabagging dead PVErs who just want to get Warhorn/Barrier, or event tickets doesn't encourage us to play PVP. It reminds us of all the reasons we HATE IT. Being taunted to 'git gud' at a game mode we despise and are FORCED to play to be effective in PVE as tanks and healers doesn't encourage us either.

    I expect to die in PVP. Not all my characters are geared for it, and I hate it, so why bother wasting materials golding out new sets when I'm just there for Warhonr/Barrier, and event tickets? Why bother with the expense of re-speccing my entire character's attribute points, skill points, and CP just so that the 15min I spend in PVP that day won't suck *quite* as badly-- while I've effectively gimped myself for the play-style I actually enjoy and spend the most time with? I'm okay with dying--I try not to, and I go down swinging as best I can--but if someone good at & geared for PVP turns me into little gibblets, so be it.

    What I can't stand is the constant teabagging from some BG teams, and the troll behavior. If it wasn't for the teababbing trolls and the teams who treat every BG like DM, PVP in BGs is actually kinda fun. My preference is the objective games, but even DM isn't too awful if no one's being a trolling, teabagging, toxic bully. Those players spoil it for the rest of us-- and now ZOS has effectively given them open season.

    I won't be playing BGs for the duration of their experiment. When at all possible, I prefer not to feed the trolls.

    Oh comon PvE'ers have 2 Midyear Mayhem with double ap plus war torte to level up the skill line very quickly.They dont really need Bg's for it.

    And PVPers that like Deathmatch game mode had it in a rotation of game modes that they could play. they ALSO could go run around in Cryo and IC looking for fights to get their kills.

    If you would have read my other comments on this thread you would know I am against this DM only thing,but I dont think PvE'ers have to be taken into consideration in this matter because Bgs are PvP and people have tons of options to lvl up alliance war skill line in other ways than Bg's.

    If pvers have no word to say concerning BG, then WHY does PVP rules everything happening in PVE ?
    Pvp are not happy so they are deciding that we pvers have nothing to do in BG

    No one can even imagine that some of us pvers simply enjoy doing those little match pvp ? Its different from cyro and IC. Its the place where i can learn way more than in cyro. I dont need to be number one to enjoy it. And yes i was loving Chaos, relics as i already said.
    I also did enjoy DM, a lot, i could progress, BUT only when i was not facing those bulldozer killers in a premade team. When facing those i could only progress my number of deaths.

    Now, they closed the door. Reading the comments here, i feel more like Elitist killers will be now deciding all.

    And actually, near to my 70, i am raging against that decision. ESO is creating a wall between the eso community, allowing elitist from all side to reign on the game, be in PVE or PVP. i just wonder if ESO is still ESO

    Joining the queue against Pre-made teams was a choice. The solo queue is right there and will pit you against non pre-made teams.

    But I also agree that PVE centered complaints/feedback regarding BGs is mostly irrelevant. This is a PVP mode. Not a mode to use as a stepping stone for a skill line. And it should not be designed to cater to players who have no interest in PVP fights.

    You guys are rewarding bad behaviour and punishing those of us who like to play objectives, even though we did no wrong in this scenario.

    Just feels so bad to be treated like this.

    It's fairly easy to see what this test is intending to do.

    Zos is seeing that a lot of players are ignoring objectives and playing DM in every mode. Which leads to the hypothesis that more players want DM than they want the objective modes. So they are removing all objective modes to determine if the player loss with the removal of the modes is significant.

    So likely, this test provides one of three scenarios:

    1) A small amount of players stop playing the game mode, but nothing significant for concern.
    This would likely lead them to just permantently removing the objective modes because the effort to improve them or maintain them just wouldn't be worth it.

    2) An increase in players, due to players returning to play DM who disliked the frequency of objective modes, or objective modes altogether.
    Likely would result in the same as 1.

    3) A substantial decrease in player count.
    This would likely lead them to adding back in the game modes but adjusting the queues in some way to provide non objective players a better avenue than a 20% chance at getting the only game mode they want.

    So people should only try to level those skill lines twice a year and just let the needed skills remain locked until then? If bg's weren't intended to allow people another way to level alliance skills outside Cyrodiil, ZOS could've very well excluded it.

    OR they could do two queues. One for DM only and one for the other game modes and see what happens then.
    So the players who don't play Battlegrounds atm because they're only interested in DMs would probably queue again and the players who don't do them because everything gets treated as DM could return too.
    If they do it like they've done the dungeons where you can chose several specific ones and get one of them at random, it would work for people who don't care at all too.

    I know that I won't do battlegrounds while there is DM only. It can be fun occasionally, but mostly I'm glad when it's one of the other game modes.

    Unfortunately, it cannot take into account the people who were already turned away by players treating every game like DM. That is valid data as well.

    Is it though?

    In each gamemode:

    Relic: Players Deathmatching this mode would have to do it either at an enemy relic, at their own relic, or in between relics. So technically, they are playing the game mode by defending their relic, preventing another team from getting to their relic, or preventing another team from taking an opponents relic. They just aren't capturing relics themselves. But neither is that 50K health tank sitting on the relic for 15 minutes preventing everyone from taking it.

    Chaos Ball: The objective is to kill other players. So DM players DMing here is the point. The problem with this mode, imo, is that it is horribly balanced in favor of unkillable builds, and one team will often hold for the entire match with almost no chance of actually getting the ball from them.

    Domination/Crazy king: If DM players are fighting on flags, they are doing the game mode properly, or at least they are preventing teams from taking those flags with no resistance, as well as tying up a team in a fight, preventing them from capturing flags. Which is also kind of the point.

    So players who left the game modes because other players were going for kills speaks volumes already. These are pvp zones and the intention is that things are contested and players kill each other. That isn't for everyone, and that is fine.

    Unfortunately, I've noticed a widespread, long running trend of the player base being treated poorly by ZOS, in many different avenues.

    It goes hand in hand with many of the complaints that followed Fallout 76.

    It's a shame, because I love their products (Elder Scrolls series, Fallout series, ESO), and in some ways, I actually even commend ZOS' business model, but some of the ways they treat their player base is very disheartening.

    There's actually no chances of them removing any modes at all, at the very best for the deathmatch community would be a rework of sorts but still nothing huge. There's achievements and collectibles related to specific modes, it's not in zos nature to just outright delete player achievements and stuff.

    I'm finding it rather comical when certain PVPers in this thread are acting like PVErs should have no say in how we're able to level and access skill lines that ZOS chose to lock behind the Alliance War (while allowing BGs to level Alliance war), or that PVErs shouldn't have a say in what happens in PVP zones period--especially considering complaints from the PVP community are CONSTANTLY affecting PVE players in PVE zones.

    *Earthgore was nerfed into the ground because of PVP
    *Dragonknight Wings were killed because of PVP
    *Breath of Life was nerfed because of PVP
    *Proximity Detonation was nerfed because of PVP
    *Sorc shield/ward skills were nerfed because of PVP

    ...and that's just off the top of my head.

    PVPers upset with how they died, or upset with NOT causing other players to die fast enough for their egos cause no end of grief for PVE players. Instead of giving sets & skills separate or dampened effects in PVP zones like they do with chain, gate, and healing skills, ZOS took the complaints from a few whiny players and gankblades upset that they got killed with their own reflected arrows, and wreck sets & skills that were fabulous in vet dungeons and trials because a few players or guilds were exploiting them in PVP--or they were too effective at countering PVPers who got used to easy kills with no risk. I LOVED popping DK wings to take out stealthed NBs sniping my team from inaccessible areas.

    Stop pretending that what happens in PVP doesn't effect PVE, and is none of our business. The day ZOS brings Warhorn, Barrier, Rapid Maneuvers, Major Gallop, Magicka Detonation, and Caltrops (the only readily accessible aoe CC skill available to Templars) out from behind the Alliance War lock, and the moment they stop screwing with set effects and skills that affect PVE to appease PVPers, is the day I will acknowledge you have a point. Until then--everything that happens in PVP affects us. PVErs have no choice but to participate in PVP to some extent. We should have a voice in it, and your opinion is NOT the only one that matters.

    You wanted the DM BG queue back? Congrats, you got it.

    There is no reason why Objective BG queues needed to be removed.

    There is no reason why ZOS continues to cater to greifers when it comes to PVP events requiring IC (not Cyrodil), or the elimination of all objective BG match queues in favor of forcing all players into DM BG matches only....other that for whatever reason, ZOS has decided it likes feeding trolls.

    It's just one more insult in a loooooong line of ways in which a small, toxic fraction of the already small PVP community manages to screw over the majority of players with ZOS's full complicity and support.

    I agree there should be two seperate ques. Deathmatch que and then the objective game modes.

    If they ever wanted to redesign objective modes to be more PvP focused that'd be great to rope PvPers back in. But I dont think its worth it.

    If folks arent aware, the game has steered to supply content for casual gamers since around Morrowind, and its done it very very well. Its a phenomenal game for new players coming in or casual players overall.

    A lot of people seem to miss the PvP crowd is not amongst this market. So the Battlegrounds have caused a conflict. Objective game modes are not PvP friendly. If you *really* wanted to win most of the objective modes, you would just make full 100% tank characters. You could have a team of 4 of them, and you'd be widely successful in every game mode. You can do no damage, pay no attention to whats coming, and just tank and heal yourself and walk towards the objective.

    This is why it's not really PvP friendly. Real 'tank' players in PvP are generally filling a supportive role in their build. But a bold majority of tanks are just building their builds around staying alive and nothing else. And many still fail to do it.

    All in all, this thread is a demonstration of 2 markets. PvP players that are still around and have played the game. The other is a casual market - and I dont say that in a negative tone. But what they want out of their gameplay experience is completely different. 2 ques will be the solution ultimately.

    On a side note, I skimmed and saw this: "*Earthgore was nerfed into the ground because of PVP"

    Earthgore was broken by a long shot and it wasnt even close. If you need a 2 piece set that will AOE burst heal your party to full constantly whenever youre slipping youre not even interested in trying in your video game. You actively want every mistake covered. Unfortunately, this is the market thats been put together here.

    This test will see a dip on PC marketbase when New World drops. A lot of the PvP community is fed up trying to fight against this mindset.

    To bolded: But that's exactly what is happening when people say that objective games take no strategy.

    Deathmatch either has strategy or it doesn't, but it doesn't have any more or less strategy than capture games, it just has different strategy.

    So much incredible toxicity coming from people who clearly only participate in BGs because of the rewards and not because of the actual content. The BG community literally doesn't care at all about the rewards or the titles or the styles. We just like the content.

    Yesterday I was booted from a NORMAL random dungeon because I was only my 23k hp stamplar as a tank from a dungeon that I can SOLO almost as fast as when I'm in a group or not to mention that I PvE main tank and have nearly every trifecta title. Talk about elitism, it goes both ways.

    I guess I'm just flabbergasted at the people completely disregarding the unbelievable skill of BGers as if it were a bad thing. Calling them "griefers" because they can knock out people in one burst combo (that they spent years honing and refining) and also are difficult to kill (something they also spent years perfecting/finding a balance for and literally have to update EVERY PATCH to conform to the new meta). Is your argument seriously, "How dare you be so good at theory crafting a build AND executing it well!"?

    PvP without people dying is not PvP, it's co-op.

    If your build is designed around avoiding that concept, then you are just as much as guilty of griefing as someone who camps a spawn point (something most BG players actively avoid doing). Imagine a random BG of 12 BG tanks...

    I should have screencapped it but last night one of my guildies was literally asking for someone to duo queue with his new toon TO AVOID GETTING LOW MMR PLAYERS. He said "I guess it was fun for the first two matches, but now it's just boring..."

    I'll say it again, your quarrel is not with us BGers. Your quarrel is with ZOS. ZOS has the control to turn this content into something better and continues to prove that it values its casual PvE community more. How tragic that the one time they make a change that suits us, we get targeted and insulted for it.

    Greetings all,

    After removing a few non-constructive and Baiting posts, we would like to remind everyone to keep discussion within the ESO Forum's Community Rules. Baiting is against the Community Rules and generally not in the spirit of ESO or the Forums:
    Trolling or Baiting: The act of trolling is defined as something that is created for the intent to provoke conflict, shock others, or to elicit a strong negative or emotional reaction. It’s okay and very normal to disagree with others, and even to debate, but provoking conflict, baiting, inciting, mocking, etc. is never acceptable in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. If you do not have something constructive or meaningful to add to a discussion, we strongly recommend you refrain from posting in that thread, and find another discussion to participate in instead. It is also not constructive or helpful to publicly call out others and accuse them of trolling, or call them a troll—please refrain from doing so. If you genuinely believe someone is trolling, please report the post or thread to the ESO Team, and leave it at that.
    Moving forward, please discussion respectful and keep the Community Rules in mind as well.

    * Earthgore was rightfully nerfed, it was broken in pvp and pve
    * Wings ...well it was a class defining skill and fun to use yes but can't deny that it was broken
    * Breath of life is still good
    * Proxy det was rightfully nerfed, honestly unless you are in an end game pve guild it won't affect you, and if you are I'm sure chances are you can compensate.
    * Sorc shields were uncritable which actually didnt help in pve, now at least you get resistances.


    I play both pvp and pve, I haven't really seen any big changes that hindered pve gameplay because of pvp.
