Feel like it could be a nice QOL update for those 5-10 seconds before a match starts to have reminders what to do in the specific BG you’re about to join. Maybe throw in some visuals (instead of the same hiding NELF in WSG). I think even the brawls have little bullet point summaries on the queue tab before you sign-up. Probably only helpful for new PvP’rs but judging by last night’s queues, maybe everyone could benefit. Thoughts?

I think that, and a text wall at the start of each match, would be fine.

Had deephaul ravine for the first time in blitz last night and someone on my team asked where to take the crystal. I had to disengage from the fight to go show them because there’s literally no map markers for it. This has happened almost every deephaul match I’ve done so far in random battlegrounds too.
The battleground UI needs an overhaul.

Extremely optimistic, but what could it hurt?

I sincerely hope that they didn’t actually have the crystal when asking this.
Yes they did. At least they asked, and I was able to show them where to turn it in.
It’s not their fault, they were able to grab the crystal (good) but didn’t know where to take it and that’s really on Blizzard.

If it wasn’t for a YouTube video I watched in the past, I wouldn’t have known either. I personally “carried” a rated Deephaul match the other day because I capped the crystal four times without being contested once.
Nobody knows where it goes and, once again, Blizz is terrible at educating their players.

I got lucky my first time carrying the crystal. I caught a glimpse of the orange outline of the capture altar through the mountain while I had the crystal. It was very hard to see, so I am surprised I even saw it at all.
I don’t recall map markers for the other flag carry objectives.
Except in cases where the spot is an objective itself.
Its fine if you have the right addons and configure them correctly based on what you do or what you need to do.
Sadly high successful level PvP is largely based on who has the best addons / macros more than anything.
Either way OP’s idea is actually the smartest thing Ive seen on these forums in quite some time.

Well capture the flag maps are pretty obvious, you take it to where your own flag was, which you can see in the starting room. It’s in the most obvious spot it could possibly be and literally has a physical flag on it assuming you control yours still. Still should have an objective marker though, there’s no excuse not to have one.
I don’t remember if deepwind had one back when it had the cart, but again the turn in location was not too hard to find as it was in your own spawn area.
Deephaul though, the objective is not in your spawn area. It’s kind of off to the side and easy to miss. It’s not intuitive or obvious that is the turn in location, nor that you can turn it in at either turn in location.

Does it not still have the cart? I have not done a regular DWG in a LONG time.
Nope. The cart was removed a few expansions ago. It’s just like AB now for both random and blitz modes. 5 capture points.

With worse visibility. I never like base sitting on the random bg version since you cant see incoming enemies until very late, while its a kinda huge map that takes time to rotate around.
