Mighty has Expanded
Dueling balance sucks, so we are expanding to include player-made Battlegrounds!

What are Battlegrounds?
Battlegrounds are structured PvP encounters with even teams, terrain boundaries, unique rules and objectives, a clear winner and loser, and a prize pool for the victor.

Choose your Battle
Capture the Flag
  • Each team has a forward camp on opposite sides of the arena, last camp standing wins.
  • Manual ressing not allowed, res at your camp at the cost of depleting its health.
Last Man Standing
  • Team v team(s), full wipe to win, ressing rules may vary.
King of the Hill
  • One camp, attackers versus defenders.
Escort
  • Protect a player as he moves from one location to another. I envision a naked Argonian... :trollface:
Etc.

Choose your Grounds
Southern Alessia bridges
Zombie ruins
Capturable towns
Uncapturable towns
Large delves (like Lipsand Tarn)
The cathedral by Brindle
Or any other interesting landmark or terrain of your choice!

Mighty Leadership will help manage the logistics
The purpose of the guild is to facilitate Battleground engagements for players who want them NOW. Organization is the hard part, so that's our job. We help form teams, select locations, communicate the rules, transfer prizes, and make it happen.

    how will these BGs be organized? sounds like tournaments, im assuming. Which makes me wonder the frequency of these large events.

    The reason BGs and such work in other games is because its convenient. players queue up and get magically dumped in an instanced and controlled environment. This CAN be achieved in ESO, but its going to take a lot of work from a not only dedicated but a devoted staff. Judges will need to be chosen wisely and show no bias.

    How will you encourage newcomers? Is that even a thing? or is this more of a nod to the existing pvp elite?

    I'm not trying to pick anything apart, i really like this idea, I'd just like to know all the bases are covered.

    You could do a system where the deaths lead to the end of the match. A judge can count the successful rezzes (since it's easy to spot on the field). If the team reaches a certain number of rezzes at x minutes, then the match is over.

    You could also do the best of 3 to decide more competitive matches.

    Is argue that it's easy for a newbie to join these matches than it is to learn proper keep siege mechanics. So youll see a good turnout.

    Something like this would work better if it's player driven from within the guild community, and not tied to admin supervision. It doesn't have to be a big event every time, it can be easily organized by guild members utilizing many remote locations in open world Cyrodiil. This makes it convenient as you can drop in and out, you just need to form a team and get an opposing team. Tying something like this to admins is risky, it should be an entire guild effort.

    This also helps keeps a guild like Mighty relevant, as there is recurring reason to partake in guild activities (especially post Tamriel One).

    Once official dueling and battlegrounds / arenas come out, more and more single faction guilds are going to pop up around partaking in the official activities.

    Sypher tried this once upon a time with Legend, using a small ravine with two camps at both ends. Your group would have to fight the enemy group back to their camp and burn it. I believe no one maintained it and eventually forward camps were removed as well. He used to have the video on his channel but he may have removed it.

    Could organize it so that it's entirely random; use auto invite so select the first people up to 10, 24, etc.

    Give it a little bit of random flavor and to punish teams with to many tanks or to many healers?

    this is cool. dueling is kinda meh because the game is not balanced around 1v1. but team battles.... considering all the interesting locations you can make use of in Cyrodiil, this sounds really fun.

    Update:

    I'm helping Kena organize this and here's the specifics so far:

    - Haderus as official campaign for initial trial.
    - have a few spots in mind. But keeping those locations under wraps till time of event.
    - we are looking to accommodate any size group fights. The lowest will be 3v3 to help give a PvP experience the game was balanced for.
    - utilizing forward camps. Each team will have one camp each. No soul stone rezzes, and first team to burn the opposite camp wins.
    - looking into fair play rules and other modes of play.

    Right now we could use some players to help form teams. Personally would be cool to see random player teams against each other as well as other fights with organized guilds fighting against each other.

    Message me in game: IGN = Minno.

    Gotta say thank you @KenaPKK for making this happen. ZOS won't do it, so we will!

    I could only imagine the vast popularity of Battlegrounds had it been there when consoles launched :(

    If I were a PC NA player, I'd likely join your guild.
