Maintenance for the week of January 13:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – January 13
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – January 13
SUGGESTION: Allow Groups of 5-12 to Queue for Battlegrounds

The exact same as the Group Queue into BG's, but if there are 5-12 people then just split them into respective groups and pull the final members as normal. I think this would enhance usability of Battlegrounds, as it would encourage more friendly play and comradery amongst players. Furthermore, I could see guilds using this for a Guild Event(I know I would), as well as use the time to teach normally non-BG players mechanics of each game type, thus further increasing its use.

✭✭✭✭✭i think that is one of the most constructive ideas about BG ive seen in a long time lol, A+
if you had a 12 person group then you could add specific game modes for a 12 person group since there would be no queue wait time too
(my only note is that this thread would prolly make more sense in the BG forum than in the regular combat forum lol)Edited by Necrotech_Master on February 18, 2022 9:32PMplays PC/NA

And you could turn off a timer/score mode so you could let people practice and discuss techniques, strategy, etc.
Also, I'll go post this in that forum now(I must have overlooked it when I initially posted)0 -

✭Unranked bgs that don't give out rewards for group and guild play should be a thing. Can help train up friends and guildmates in a decent pvp environment. Can also host events.
However, randoms do not get added into the group in order to prevent trolling and other issues.
When you have up to 12 peeps in your group, it would be cool if you can pick the game mode and split members into teams as crown sees fit. Can host duos and trios matches. Can simulate a 1vX scenario. Lots of things are possible and would make this game mode much more fun for guildies and friends that don't care about rewards.(AD) Artim X/Xirtām/Måtrix |PC/NA| Casual staff wielding vampire sorcerer/templar/arcanistElectric-Stunhttps://media.giphy.com/media/Av0zcKH3i2BkaY1GXW/giphy.gif/https://c.tenor.com/jQHdFftrgwMAAAAC/tenor.gifElectric-Pets- Roleplay Damage Dealing Build.

https://media.giphy.com/media/sdEkeWpiaGz0A/giphy.gifMundus Stones- High elf, since you will not have issues with sustain, but other mag based races are also fine so this is more of a personal choice.
https://media.giphy.com/media/cT3wMhLGQWdKU/giphy.gifCurrent Champion Points- PvP: The Steed for speed. Gotta go fast!
- PvE Healing/Damage: The Thief for decent crit rate.

https://media.giphy.com/media/3otPoTggaYFNd1FdAI/giphy.gif- Parse Food for PvE:(DPS) Ghastly Eye Bowl (increases Max Magicka by 4592 and Magicka Recovery by 459 for 2 hours).
- Gold/Purple Food for Sorc PvP and Meme Tanking:(PvP) Clockwork Citrus Filet (increases Max Health by 3326, Health Recovery by 406 [useful if stage 1 vampire], Max Magicka by 3080, and Magicka Recovery by 338 for 2 hours). Witchmother's Potent Brew (Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours.
- Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
- Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar/arcanist will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).

Elendir2am✭✭✭✭It would work well, but only for 12 people.
I wouldn't do it for 5-11. In cause of 10 + 2 for example, 10 people could want to deviate from classic BG and rest 2 couldn't change it. So they wouldn't get standard BG expirience.PvP - Recruit.
PvE - Dragon food

I would think it would make for opportunity to meet new people especially if you have say 10 guild members and two solo queues.0 -
