✭✭✭✭✭I don't care if they're coming until I know what they're intending to do with them.
I've got enough options to flip flags.
I've got the horse simulator in Cyro.
I've got the option to zerg.
I've got the option to gank.
How are Battle Grounds or PVP Arenas going to be special or different. Has ZOS had discussion on this?
Evenly matched numbers, for one thing. I'm so sick of lop-sided fights!#CAREBEARMASTERRACE2 -
diskiukas✭✭✭What is exactly Battlegrounds ? Is that some kind of dueling area? Serious question.0 -

✭✭✭What is exactly Battlegrounds ? Is that some kind of dueling area? Serious question.
We don't have any specifics of what ZOS is working on, but they are expected to be small instanced PvP areas with fixed team sizes.@wayfarerx - PC / North America / Aldmeri Dominion0 -

3v3 in most games would be an arena, the smallest BG's I've seen were 8v8 and the largest were 40v40, using Warsong Gultch and Isle of Conquest from WoW as examples. You will never get around people running flavor of the month specs, thats the whole reason people level multiple classes.Edited by Ghost-Shot on August 17, 2016 6:03PM0 -

Open world Cyrodiil masks a lot of these issues and makes many build there still viable that won't be in battlegrounds.
This could very well be a welcome change the game needs from a design standpoint. So I'm looking forward to see what transpires. This should only help make the game even better all around

The balance issue will really stand out and certain builds/classes will be meta in there1 -
KisoValley✭✭✭✭✭Hopefully people will see the power of stamplars and stamblades and stop crying about stamDKs and stamsorcs when battlegrounds come out assuming ZOS haven't balanced it out by then (which I doubt, classes may change but will always be a *** tier and a op tier).
Same for how powerful magplars are and how underwhelming magblades/magDKs are.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭What is this hype with battlegrounds? Like really? If you like dueling in PvP, go join a dueling guild....goddamit!!! Must ESO be like every othe MMO´s.....0 -

✭Was this pay back for when Gina was like "Hey pvp players we have a question her you have all been waiting for!"... "and the answer is, we will talk about it next year"? I was happy when I read the title saw the Z and no I'm sad.0 -

I'll never understand why people want Battlegrounds in a game with a PvP area like ESO.
Forget the fact that it'll siphon from the actual Cyrodiil players....Just like virtually every other game that tried shoveling the two types together...Just think of the major problems that every other Battleground has had since their inception.
And remember..Those same problems will still be present in this game.
I'm talking Premades vs Pug (which I personally don't mind, but it always ends up being an issue for a lot of pug players) which ends up putting Premades vs Premades out usually....And that just ends up with stupid long queue times.
One team having a bunch of DPS vs a Team with a Dedicated Healer.....This will be an issue in this game just as every other game..
Match Mechanics, lets face it..there has been ONE..and I mean ONE Battleground ever made in any game that was remotely interesting and frankly probably worth having in the game..and that was Huttball....Most MMO opt for the worse BG setup imaginable ...The Arathi Basin Setup....Even if you've never played WoW you've probably played that setup in an MMO, its usually 3 Flags and you got to hold basically 2 of them the whole match to win.....and 9/10 its SUPER boring.....It'd be like in ESO if I was a Tower, looking over the side and saw a bunch of people fighting at a Keep...and COULDN'T leave..for the entire 10-15 minute the Matches are... Because the second you leave, someone will snatch the flag and you will probably lose the match. I've stood entire matches in SWTOR during the Civil War Match and fought zero people because of setups like this.
