BGs - Deathmatch still Broken?

Thogard · July 2017

We were told in a previous post by a ZOS employee that a fix for the lack of death matches in the battlegrounds on PC would happen today... but I do not see anything in the patch notes about it? Is the oversight with the patch notes and this was fixed, or has deathmatch not been fixed?

Morgul667 · July 2017

It is safe to assume it was not fixed :-/

Deathmatch is a myth, told to children to encourage good behavior. It's like Santa Claus in that sense.

I don't care for Deathmatch. Plenty of that going on in Cyrodiil already.

theamazingx · July 2017

In about 12 BGs, I got 1 deathmatch. On the bright side, it was also my first win.

Side note - 0 Kills, 27 Assists, DK execute OP

Feanor · July 2017

Leaderboards get skewed this way. You pretty much have to play hours of BGs on end every day to get a reasonable amount of Deathmatches. Also CTF and Domination are just meh.

Wanted to give you all a quick update on this. In drilling down into the numbers further, we are seeing fewer Deathmatch mode games being spun up on PC (both NA and EU) since the July 10 incremental patch. The console servers are unaffected. We're still investigating the cause and hope to have an update for you early next week.

I guess the update early this week didn't include a fix after all. It just bugs me that this doesn't seem to be a priority. Some coder put in a typo that made deathmatch happen 1/23 instead of 1/3 when the queue was fixed and now the problem is seemingly being ignored..the most fun mode of play for the new expansion has vanished and nobody at ZOS seems to care. I'm disappointed.

Deathmatch is a bad game type anyhow

It's odd because on patch release for Xbox NA we had very frustrating que issues as well as the noticeable TDM absence. Since last week I've played about 12 BGs and gotten group ques to work somewhat consistently (although longer than desired waits) but I've also had almost 50% TDM rates.

They have already mentioned they are still on it and will be getting everyone an update.

So, no fix for deathmatches?

We're still working on it. We promised an update early this week, and we will still deliver on that promise. We're looking at numbers over the next 24 hours and should be able to provide an update tomorrow. In the meantime, if you're on PC/Mac let us know if you notice any difference today compared to last week.

Deathmatch is the best game type.

Its the only actual pvp gametype were actually pvping matter.

I don't enjoy going 15-0 in a domation game and losing to guy who go 0-8 because instead of fighting they'd rather run away an dplay flag simulator while other people are actually fighting.

Morgul667 · July 2017

I was surprised but did fight a few deathmatch last night. First rounds were all dominations then all rounds were deathmatch

Was fun though but I prefer domination that is more strategy oriented ish

Legoless · July 2017

I've been getting almost constant Deathmatch.

Morgul667 · July 2017

I think capture the relic is the one I didnt see last night

mb10 · July 2017

CAN ZOS JUST REMOVE THAT ACHIEVEMENT AND ALLOW EVERYONE TO GET THE TITLE?

Soriana · July 2017

It was domination for us today that was hard to queue up. Did about 10 captures, 3 deathmatch, and 1 domination.

max_only · July 2017

4 battle grounds, 2 deathmatch. That was 6 hours ago... I've been to work since and I notice the forums have been regularly exploding with server complaints so...

timidobserver · July 2017

The death match issue seems resolved for me.

Dymence · July 2017

Did BGs yesterday. Deathmatch was the gamemode we got the most out of 15~ games played. Seems resolved even though nothing was mentioned in the notes.
