Part of me has the itch to make videos again. But only part. Glad to see this list though.

Thanks. Appreciate it.
I’m a Rated BG content creator, but I often find casual players enjoying the content. Just throwing it out there in case anyone’s interested. https://www.youtube.com/user/MultiShabadoo
Added the link. The guides are helpful to everyone.

Wait, what now?
When?
Not for me, I love watching them.
A few days ago. He was on his ret paladin in a WSG.
its hella fun watching wu playing ret with stream controller ngl hahahah
I hope BG Blitz does well, because I want to see more resources put into BGs. Even people like Venruki who loves arena has said there is probably a larger audience for BGs because it’s more likely to pull in PvE’ers as well. IMO BG Blitz will probably pull more outside of the current PvP player base than in. We will see though.
I watched some of his PTR footage. Looked like he was having fun, except when he was facing a bunch of MM hunters. Actually said he might not play mage at all in solo RBGs due to MM hunters, hah.
Probably, but there is still a pretty big issue and that is the gearing system (as much as I like it for PvP) still segregates the PvE and PvP communities. A lot of PvErs aren’t going to want to work on honor/conquest sets just to do PvP.
As much as people disliked Legion templates, that is one thing that it had right. You could step right into PvP with your PvE gear since all that mattered was item level. So, that encouraged PvErs to participate. I think a template system like Legion had BUT with stat distribution choices like GW2 has would be the best approach.
Just base everything on item level and give a selection of several stat templates to choice from for customization.

Yeah. I should add that to the channel description. 
Yet the casual players base outside of rated is way more populated. At least speak some truth in what you say.

Ya I don’t know how you fix this, because what seems to always end up happening is PvE because the best way to gear. Idk maybe the gap between honor gear and conquest shoot be made less? The other thing is is PvE’ers can’t expect to jump right into rated content either. Honor gear (which is honestly super easy to get) should be the starting point for them. Just like PvP’ers can’t just jump into top end PvE content without some work either.
The Legion templates was a start, but there needs to be a way to customize your stats. Not sure how you do that without gear. I have never played GW2 so no idea how that works.
In WoW terms, you would have several options to choose from. The amount of stats would just be determined by item level. I thought the 10 item levels for 1% stat gain worked well in Legion.
One with evenly split stats between crit/haste/mastery
One more heavily weighted between haste/mastery
One with high mastery and low crit/haste
And on and on… GW2 probably had at least 20 basic stat loadouts you could choose from. That is how they take care of the gear issue for what they call structured pvp, which is basically battlegrounds in WoW. The problem with Legion is that there were no options.
All would have versatility.
Oh, I was hoping it was in a Youtube video or somethin :l
But I agree with your earlier statement that it’s nice to get to know each other. The only good thing about retail having a dwindling playerbase is that it strengthens a sense of community. It’s fun to recognize people in BGs instead of everyone always being a stranger.

He was streaming. I often skip through the streams to see who they are fighting rather than for watching the streamer themselves. You nuke him towards the start of the BG. Also, good job getting away from the 3v1 in the tunnel.
That makes me miss the days of battlegroups when you really did see a lot of the same people. And then after the match came the smack talk on the battlegroup forums, lol.
Like Zylrax said though, the population queueing is so small at the moment that you will very frequently see the same people multiple times in a queue session or when I watch other people’s content I see the same people I’ve fought with and against playing with and against them as well. It’s just interesting to me to see people I recognize fighting each other and seeing how they do.
