Would be fine with them adding new control point and CTF maps in new areas, just for a change of scenery. Obviously there would be different geography to the basic CTF and control maps like how TP and DWG shake up the WSG and AB formula.
That being said, I had an idea for a new control point sort of map where you stand in the circle to cap it like in SSM, but the locations are fixed. Now, what would make this different is that there is 3 levels of captured. Once the 3rd level is reached, it’s capped by that side permanently and can no longer be fought over. Every time you kill an enemy on the circle, it increases the cap bar. There are 5 points in total, first to three perma caps wins. In my head, this works out to almost every BG ending with a huge slugfest at the last point.
I’d like to see a map sorta like Frontline from Battlefield 1, or 5 CP from Team Fortress 2.
And no, not like Ashran.
Two nodes per stage, capping either like domination flags or EotS nodes, I don’t care, both could work. If you take the enemy nodes, you move up. If you take the next set of nodes, you push the enemy base and win. But if they take your nodes, or take back their nodes, you move back.
im just excited to have it confirmed that more bgs are coming.
i’ve always loved WoW bgs just had always wanted more of them.
ooo this sounds like PUSH mode in overwatch. i love that mode!
its funny that i tend to like alot of stuff that the majority dislikes. i love push, i actually love SS too. its because of the reason you noted. difference in terrain. in both those types of modes the area you fight in isn’t stagnant and so there’s always different strats to possibly employ. Keeps thing fun imo. Wish more people would stop hating on such modes/bgs.
omg would love a huttball type of bg. huttball is indeed very fun!
When I was farming the BG achievements I always hated every BG from like, 20 wins to about 75, and then after 80 or so I finally figured out what internal rules were, and I started to enjoy them a ton. A lot of the PvP achievements, in going for them, shine a spotlight on how Blizzard sees the BGs.
It feels like someone at Blizzard really enjoyed the Overly Defensive AB achievement, or the Alterac Valley All Star, and decided to make a BG that was just those two achievements.
That said, I still hate the new Deepwind Gorge with a passion.
One of my favorite parts of this game is grinding out all of the BG achievements, new battlegrounds will be a huge huge huge win, even if they’re not perfect.
I only wish now that I could transfer my main to a more populated realm and keep my name, as I’ve been playing the same character since vanilla. D:
I think we’ve given up on Blizzard’s design team if we’re like, “Let’s be realistic here. Can you just make reskins of WSG and AB? After all these years, it’s clear you won’t be able to make anything better. We’ll go to another MMO if we want to find PvP that’s innovative and fun.”
I’d love for each BG to get seasonal maps. No real changes, just, autumn leaves in Arathi Basin, snowy fields Warsong Gulch, and valleys of springtime flowers in Alterac Valley. More weather effects. Nighttime. Long shadows at dawn.
Eye of the Storm needs to not be a barren wasteland of space rock. At least give us psychedelic skyboxes.
I wouldn’t want them to not come out with new interesting bg just cause some people wouldn’t like it. You can’t please everyone.
I also think people pushing stagnation on a notion of a game esp a mmo is very weird. If devs listened to only negative comments they wouldn’t have a game or would just have a very streamline game for only a select few. Why would they do that…
