Thank you. Seriously, just thank you to whoever suggested and / or decided to bring these back, even if it's just for an event. It means a lot to many bg die hards including me.

Hear, Hear! Couldn't agree more, thank you!

So. When do we think the first three team weekend will be? Work makes the schedule a month out so I'm trying to figure out what weekend to request off in advance. As great as the monthly roadmaps are, getting it at the start of each month doesn't leave any wiggle room for taking a weekend off.

There's a two team DM wknd this month Feb. 25th-March 4th.

Update 49 is March 9th. Doubt if there will be two back to back BG weekends, so immediately after the update is probably out.

Season Zero begins April 2nd.

Historically there have been BG weekend events:
April 20-25 2023
April 26-28 2024 (don't know why it says 3 days, blame the internet)
April 24-29 2025

On average, these events took place 42 days after the last BG weekend events in March of their respective years (give or take a few days either way each year)

So my best guess as to when the first three team BG event might be is the weekend of April 17th 2026, 44 days after the upcoming two team event at the end of this month. This assumes, of course, that ZOS intends to reintroduce three team sooner rather then later, that the pattern of events holds true, and, that the reintroduction coincides with the beginning of Seasons and after the next update.

What do you all think? Should we be requesting the weekend of 4/17/26 off or do you think it will be a different date?

Hey @ZOS_Kevin could we, just this once, if possible, maybe please get a one time sneak peak heads up as to the date of the return of three team battlegrounds? That would be so awesome!

Cheers!

I am glad they’re bringing them back.

Now everyone can see that they’re NO better! Even worse in many ways.

I seriously doubt you’ll see any big jump in participation unless there are other incentives.

Bringing back the old style won’t make battlegrounds fun again. Too many other variables have changed as well.

I am not agreeing nor am i disagreeing with your comments. I am only asking, who cares? McDonald's brings back the McRib for the people that enjoy it. Only, in this case, there is much less supply chain overhead. The people who enjoy them can enjoy them... the people that enjoy 3 team bgs can as well... for a limited time and at participating restaurants.

Agree that things have changed, and, imho, for tje worse.

Meta gets more broken every time they release a new zone.

Sorc was literally broken for what, two years?

We still have roa, charm and dark Convergence in pvp.

It doesnt mean the game isnt moving forward.... just not always in the direction we want it to... like 2 team bgs...

I still think DC and roa have completely ruined Cyrodiil... but here we are....l

The Battlegrounds thread has been reopened: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/681012/future-of-battlegrounds/p1

Even if they did bring back 3-sided Battlegrounds as a permanent option, I fear participation we'll only be slightly increased. We really do need to separate the DM queue from the objective modes.

In the history of ESO, there was never an objectives queue. Or a rewarding DM queue.

I agree, but the troll in me wants to call out that there is only one objective in every format... deathmatch baby...

Also, never going back to that thread.

I'll reinstall for the 3-team event. If they bring it back permanently I'll likely reinstate my subscription.

I actually stay for the furniture and housing now. Tuesday when IA has new plans and Friday when the furnishing vendor has new items are peak for me now... well, that and the events with 3 team bgs...

I am really excited that they are expanding the furnishing cap on my haven of the five... good times...
