Seen a couple of "2018" wishes to make battlegrounds open to everyone. Do you think that they should be?

    From a player perspective it would of course be better to have more people playing it, however I get that ZOS wants them as a selling point. I think a good compromise would be to make new modes/maps open to everyone after the first few months or something like that. Further they could make BGs accessible for people with ESO+ but without Morrowind.

    Battlegrounds has a lot of things that need to be addressed. This would be a good start. It definitely needs more players.

    See BGs needs to have both a CP and non-CP queue. Apparently, allegedly, there are not enough players playing BG's to support two different queues like this. This is where the inherent problem lies.

    Either: There are not enough people playing the content because it is behind a pay-wall for Morrowind keeping many people out

    Or: There are not enough people playing the content because it is not entertaining or rewarding enough to participate in.

    Maybe opening up BGs to everyone who owns the base game will help, however, BGs to me is the type of content that more hardcore players are into playing, hence, the people who want to play it have already bought Morrowind and either play it or do not play it because of playlist restrictions or as stated above it is not fun or rewarding enough.

    Regardless, BGs are not fun in their current state due to Perma-blocking builds over-performing to extraordinary degrees in objective type game-modes. This was not as big of an issue with the Non-CP queue for obvious reasons.


    TLDR: Get more players in to BGs so we can have more options for queues such as CP and Non-CP and queues for specific game-types.

    I don’t pvp at all, so I dont care about BGs but Ive seen people who paid for Morrowind get very upset about this discussion in other threads.

    Why do people get mad when old things go on sale or become free. Its not a personal attack on you. You were the one who didnt want to wait for a sale. Stop trying to ruin things for people with proper self-control. It makes you look petty.

    I bought Morrowind (twice actually, across 2 platforms) - would definitely like to see it open to everyone for free.

    And no-CP, but that's a whole different thread...

    BGs, imperial race and warden should all be free.

    They are important parts of the overall game and paywalling them is stupid and noninclusive. Its unhealthy for the game since content dies faster, and P2W talks come out, untrue though they are.

    I have everything I listed above too, we can call it early access. Story content, sets and cosmetics are a good model, this isn't

    its not a sale if they give away something for free, that other people paid for. a sale would be if you got it for half price. people paid for battlegrounds, less than a year ago.

    It automatically increases the potential player pool, the content has been out for more than 6 months anyway, just give it to the people.

    This sounds about right.
