How do Character Stats work in Battlegrounds?

HumbleThaumaturge · March 14

With an under-level-50 character, I recently noticed that Character Stats in (under-level-50) Battlegrounds is much, much lower than in the No-CP Cyrodiil campaigns. In the past, I did not notice a big difference in character performance between No-CP Cyrodiil and Battlegrounds. But today, my new character in Battlegrounds was much, much weaker than in Cyrodiil.

Is this (lower stats in Battlegrounds) a new thing? How are Character Stats determined in Battlegrounds. By any chance: Do all players now have same Stats in Battlegrounds?

Stats in No-CP Cyrodiil campaign:
Magicka: 24.8k, with 2100 regen
Health: 20.4k, with 444 regen
Stamina: 30.7k, with 7400 regen
Damage: 2200
Spell Crit: 18.6%; Weapon Crit: 18.6%
Penetration: 2800
Resistances: 9800
Crit Resistance: 1150

Stats in (under-level-50) Battlegrounds (much lower than in Cyrodiil, except Crit %):
Magicka: 10.1k, with 410 regen
Health: 12.2k, with 153 regen
Stamina: 14.8k, with 521 regen
Damage: 1060
Spell Crit: 22.7k; Weapon Crit: 63.8%
Penetration: 723
Resistances: 2556
Crit Resistance: 755

It's new, but as you level up and are around 40 it doesn't feel as bad. It's just the early levels that are brutal.

Spec'ing into health and regen around those levels is the best play. Otherwise you'll die too fast or run out of stam/magicka and have to wait a long time to regen.

I assume they are just cutting everything in half and that's how it works. It feels that way anyway.

I think the battle leveling that exists in the rest of the game is currently not present in under-50 battlegrounds. The stats you are seeing are your ACTUAL stats like it was years ago before One Tamriel and level scaling. The reason level 40 feels better is because it IS better... you are leveling up, unlocking passives, adding to your attributes, and maybe wearing higher level armor sets. This was not announced as far as I know, so I'm hoping it is a bug.

It seems like a bug. They did do some map changes to BG's, so maybe something happened.

Going into a BG at level 10 is awful. You can't run for more than 5 seconds before you're almost out of stam and then you can't regen.

I started doing BGs because they put them in Golden pursuits. They were kinda fun a month or two ago, and as a an under50 character got a few kills here and there.

But now it's ridiculous. I start the BG Under 1k offense. and all other numbers are ridiculously low as well. Start playing and get slaughtered over and over by damage in 10k - 14k range.

what is the point of this? I missed the part where somehow there is " leveling " in BGs.

This is Not fun. Why make a Golden Pursuit that New Players are Not going to have fun doing?
