    Battle royale won't work in a game where people are different levels of power etc. Unless at the start everyone gets the same stats and no gear (have to pick it up).
    PUBG is what I'm playing until summerset (burnout mainly) though and I love it....it just wouldn't work in an RPG imo.

    Stay strong. Resist the fad! :)

    it makes sense for dota2 because it is a moba, and the sequal game to a game that started off as a warcraft (the rts) mod.

    BR doesn't work in MMO all that much.

    Who knows... they might choose to jump on the bandwagon, or not, as they think best.
    Some suggestions for something like that have been posted before. Mechanically, it just makes very little sense in ESO...
    Oh, they could easily do it.
    Just add a deadric "proving ground" plane, where people can go to experience the "everyone against everyone" style of PvP.

    The big question being - do enough PvPlayers want this enough to be willing to pay for a DLC like that to make it worth ZOS while to spend development resources on it?

    If the powers that be think so, then it might come someday.
    If they don't, then it won't.

    They did something similar in WoW with the Highmaul Coliseum, I managed to win it playing my prot warrior but it was dominated by tankier classes with good self heals so I had an advantage over most people in there and I imagine it would be the same in ESO. Not bad as something to do on the side for achievements or whatever but it shouldn't be a major part of the game, it'll always be really imbalanced.

    Best thing they should do is bring a 20v20 BG.
    Have it set as DC vs AD at invasion of aleswell town, EP vs AD at secondary bridge, etc.

    This way you can have five 4 man teams coordinating together; even if 4 premades enter, the game can place them on each team equally. (Your group chat take to your team but zone chat talks to everyone in each side).

    That would bring back larger scale without the annoying "I'm fighting 3 players and 10 pop out of stealth" crap that cyro seems to bring. And it would be terrible to code, just needs some good map making.

    Nope.
    No thanks.
    Not this time.
    Heck no.
    No way.
    Regrettably, I'm not able to.
    It's that time of the year when I must say no.
    It's a noday. I have a "No on noday" policy.
    Ask me in a year of 924.
    I know someone that might be a fit for that. I'll email you their information.
    You're so kind to think of that, but no.
    Maybe another time.
    Sounds great, but I can’t commit.
    Rats! Would’ve loved to.
    I’m slammed.
    Perhaps next season when things clear up.
    I’m at the end of my rope right now so have to take a raincheck.
    If only it worked.
    I’ll need to bow out.
    I’m going to have to exert my NO muscle on this one.
    I’m taking some time.
    I’m in a season of NO.
    I’m not the Dunmer for you on this one.
    I’m learning to limit my commitments.
    I’m not taking on new things.
    Another time might work.
    It doesn’t sound like the right fit.
    I’m not sure I’m the best for it.
    No thank you, but it sounds lovely.
    It sounds like you’re looking for something I’m not able to give right now.
    It’s not a good idea for me.
    Not now.
    I’m not able to set aside the time needed.
    I won’t be able to dedicate the time I need to it.
    I’m head-down right now on a project, so won’t be able to.
    I’m honored, but can’t.
    NoNoNoNoNoNo.
    I don't have an iota of bandwidth left in my brain.
    If only.
    N to the O.
    NO.

    I don't know if I'd call it a fad. Many of the BR games out there are very popular, indicating this is a system people desire.

    I have no issue if ESO wants to put in a BR system in the game. That's sort of PvP anyway, with the difference of one winner, rather than a group of zergs running a map.

    The only way it would work is if everyone that queued was dropped in a zone "naked" with no inventory, no CP, and everything they used had to be looted.

    If people can play with pre-made builds then it would just be a bunch of tanks at the end that couldn't kill each other.

    Playing since beta...

    Surprised to see so many people against this. I really enjoy PubG and Fortnite and the whole concept in general. It would be difficult to implement in this game for sure but it could be pretty cool.

    That being said it will never happen but it's fun to think about.

    And how would this work in game like ESO, where armor sets, skills and attributes are playing so important role?
    In PUBG this makes sense since there's no CP, skills, armor sets nor attributes, so people are starting there from equal level.
    However that's not the case in ESO.
    (Even tho I would find it quite epic if last man standing would've killed everyone with dual resto staves. :D )

    And if people can bring their own set up to the Battle Royale mode, the outcome of the match would probably turn out to be filled with many tanks with 0 damage and perma cloacking mag blades.
    Doesn't sound way too appealing to me.

    PUBG / Fortnite.


    Not really something that seems like it would fit well with ESO PvP.


    Also, what's with the whole "every game I play should have my favorite FotM mode added to it!" thing that some people have? Don't you want your different games to be, you know, different? Not everything needs to climb on the same bandwagon all the time.

    Tell that to the headphone jack and the "notch".

    We've been asking for this for years, long before PUBG.

    I hope we might see some kind of free for all deathmatch mode for the existing battlegrounds arenas. More fun if you can respawn after dying instead of waiting until the entire match is over.
