Feedback: Epic Battlegrounds

PVP Battlegrounds

Strand was designed as a mini-WG for the BG queue, thats why it failed as a bg, it was never the real thing.

I have to exit AV half the time because of turtle fest. I’m not wasting over an hour of my life in that bg for shivt rewards. I won’t queue anymore based on these changes. Thanks for making it an easy decision i guess.

To have fun, currently AV is not fun. Turtle fests are boring.

812

then don’t queue for ebgs? AV is supposed to take an hour or more. also turtles are the best, even if you lose, you walk out of AV with like 1200 honor.

Yeah I’m learning from my mistake on that one. The only incentive now is the conquest.

This is the type of player we don’t want in epic battlegrounds anyway. You have 10 other battlegrounds for that ‘fast paced’ play, those of us who want longer, larger battles currently have 1.5.

This whiney attitude of “gogogo! let’s get this over with in 10 minutes” has no place in epic bgs imo, if players expect a “quick 10 minute win” then they shouldn’t Q for epic bgs in the first place.

I like the longer games, personally :cowboy_hat_face:

I play to win and do objectives though, you would be lucky to have me. It’s the idiot that wants to cap snowfall and make it a turtle game that we can do without.

817

That’s the whole issue with the game right now in the first place. The players aren’t interested in playing the game they just want to race to get more points. MORE POINTS MORE POINTS ain’t got time, I ain’t got time to play the game I only got time for MORE POINTS.

818

technically the guy taking snowfall is doing an objective. but again, the point of ebgs is for hour+ long fights, if you don’t want an hour+ long fight, then don’t join the ebg queue. complaining about turtles in ebgs is like complaining about it being dark at night, what exactly did you expect?

It’s good to see players who understand where they do belong and where they don’t.

See ya when I queue regular bgs! :grinning: (I queue more epics though)

820

Except I have seen this. Got horde boss to 20% and a Hunter pet would taunt and reset. We started again and at the same exact 20%…same hunter…same thing. Next time he did it at the SAME EXACT TIME our tank was ready and immediately retaunted.

They are in their own queue called “epic” for a reason.

Our thoughts are that queuing for a large battleground like Alterac Valley or Isle of Conquest is opting-in for a different experience than all the other battlegrounds, in the sense of the larger 40 vs 40 scale and the longer duration time. That’s the main motivator for moving them to a separate queue.

While we have no immediate plans to change the gameplay of AV or IoC, its not out of the realm of possibility. Certainly with them being in their own queue gives us the opportunity to tweak them separately. We also would like to re-introduce other larger scale maps from the past into the playlist over time.

Nowhere does that state matches have to last an hour and turtling is the only way to have fun.

He also didn’t post that. But having longer matches is kind of the point of putting these queues in their own bracket. Not everyone likes to have a BG over in 10-12 minutes.
