    Expectation: an invitation to well coordinated groups working together and dominating as a team.

    Reality: A team a Templars spamming heals and jabs.

    I'd like to see them be flexible. 1v1, 1vX, various group numbers, etc. Spectating would be a bonus,

    I'd also like a matching system that helps players queue up to get random matches with other players at a similar skill level.

    I would definitely like to see 1v1 arenas where you can fight players that are the same faction... so we can train with our friends & get better in PVP. That is the main thing I want from Arenas/battlegrounds.

    I hope everyone gets stripped naked and handed a bottomless supply of PIE to throw at other players. whoever hits players with the most PIE wins.

    But they will.

    I would like to see the making it like WoW did it. Create a arena team (2v2, 3v3, 5v5...) and that team gets ranket points for wins and losses. Your team gets a rank and thats what matchmaking should be based upon.

    I also would love to see small scale battlegrounds like 10v10 with some objective based stuff like capture the flag, or controlling outposts

    Yup, pretty much.

    If everyone thinks the complaints about balance are bad now, wait until it's instanced arena based. FOTM builds and FOTM group compositions are going to cause so much rage.

    Yeahp...but lookt at WoWs endgame...every...character...is...the...same...like if you choose BM hunter spec, you are wearing the same gear as every BM hunter in the same ranking as you. Taking this to ESO, if you want to succeed, you MUST adapt to FOTM. Using the same builds. If you don't you will be gimping yourself. Its why I left WoW. The grind was too intense to get the gear to compete in high teirs...atlesst too intense for ME. clearly a LOT of people enjoyed it.

    something similar to Blessed Crucible Undaunted Pledge, but more complex, 1V1, 1v2, 1v3, 1vx, ....10v10 PVE battle grounds, various monsters as opponents, big groups and smaller groups!!!


    I want it now!!!!

    I hope some kind of 3 part system with XvXvX. Would mesh well with ESO since the balance would revolve around this more dynamik dystem rather than 2 opponent forces meeting. The best team would also be the one to be less noticed.

    Im not against XvX battles, but its not very innovative, would just impose alot of balance issues and doesnt feel very ESO like.

    Lastly. Battlegrounds (not Arena) MUST have an impact on Cyrodill some way or another, so as to keep Cyrodill relevant. A large coherent world is better than a fragmented instanced world i think!

    EDIT: for my XvXvX thing, think Hungergames. Alot of single players who only themselves can win, in an arena of traps, who cant easily win by themselves! Could be epic!

    I hope we can invade enemy alliance cities in pve zones. Would be epic zerging down grahtwood and killing elves as theyre picking up their undaunted quests or at their bank depositing items.

    I just want to be able to go up to another person in my alliance and challenge them to a duel on the spot with the wheel just like inviting to trade. Have the option to not receive requests as I could see many not wanting it. This should have been in the game from launch as DAoC had it over 12 years ago along with player housing.
    Those small complaints aside, I really hope the bugs and lag get more attention and fixed as I love this game and it has the potential to be the best one out there for years to come (on console especially).

    I would say to not expect 1v1 areas, as the classes are constructed in such a way that some have more advantage than others in PvP, and also the devs have said as much.

    However, I would expect to see 5v5, 12v12. I would hope it doesn't take away from the fort battles though in Cyrodiil, as they are the crux of the 3 banners war, and a core design of the game.

    Not sure how many people here have picked up on it, but this game is based on a similar idea to DAoC/Champions of Regnum, just far bigger and more enhanced.

    Personally, I would love a PvP fight with the Wabbajack. Funny as hell.

    I'd love to see some like 12v12's on an instanced map (think Coagulation from Halo) with a CTF mode. You'd be able to queue up with like any number of people so if you and some friends are just trying to play you could get in a match.

    4v4's to like 6v6's team death match would be the hotness.

    Basically I think if you take the Halo series of matchmaking and game modes (Slayer, CTF, Big Team Battle, etc) and mix it with ESO combat and characters that would be the closest thing to perfect I could imagine.

    Capture the flag for sure!

    I have had so much fun playing Warsong Gulch back in my WoW days and I think a similar battleground would fit perfectly in the world of Tamriel.

    Another option could be: A domination type/Arathi Basin.
    I know capture and hold flags like in imperial city is already a OVER-USED feature, but i still think it would be fun if they just do the following:

    - Add player population cap. ex: 10v10 Doing this you remove the b***s*** battles were you are outnumbered by x players/zerg of doom


    Arenas: I really hope to see a competitive type arena in future ESO. If done properly - implementing this would create a END-GAME goal that is:
    - Competitive: At the moment competitive PvP is non-excisten (unless you think zerging is) Adding a player pop.cap. = first step towards balance. .
    - Strategic: Who knows what the new "meta" will be. In 5v5 maybe a setup with 5 NB (max dmg) would be insane to fast execution.
    - and very FUN!

    A rank or score system that is providing players with titles, great set items and perhaps mounts that differ depending on final rank/score. (Can only be optained by competing in the ARENA)

    maybe 2v2, 5v5 and maybe 10v10

    also adding duels would be great should be as easy as inviting someone to trade or stepping inside of a small zone to start

    A form of PvP where if I die in a 1 on 1 fight, I don't spawn miles away from the location where I'll never see that same person again.

    I don't like PvP because of all that legwork, sucks the fun right out of it.
