Feldon From Olihin on the EQ2 Forums:
Greetings,
With GU60, a new battleground will be added that will allow for a 18 vs. 18 combat setting.
We are currently working on possible additions to the achievements earned while in a battleground and we would like to hear some thoughts on what you may want to see.
We will also evaluate the current achievements and look for ways to reward those that have earned or are in the process of earning them. We believe that someone that can help control all the towers while at the same time having the highest kill streak should be acknowledged, for example.
Feel free to add your ideas and we will do what we can to make your experience while fighting more enjoyable and rewarding and perhaps even humorous at times…
And addressing PvP changes which were originally planned for Velious but got pushed back:
I apologize for the lack of detail and generalization of knowledge in my previous post.
I am sure not all are aware that we postponed PvP changes until GU60 and I want to make sure that our players know that when I say that there is nothing new to report…it means that nothing has been finalized for me to bring up for discussion or testing.
We did have a meeting yesterday that helped our team narrow down some of the changes we will be trying to make in PvP.
- Revisiting FAME and adding new features to improve its function and presentation
- Adding new armor and adornments that compliment PvP
- Adding a new Battleground
- Adding a new faction instead of a new token for purchasing rewards
- Doing more for class balance (ongoing always) based on feedback
I cannot go into detail at this time on each of the points, but I hope that this is something to look forward to in the future.
In the meantime, I will start a new thread to get some focused feedback that will help with the planed changes listed above.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding!
I think it would be nice if there was some way to filter classes in to different battlegrounds. No one likes going into a battleground and fighting a group with 5 healers when yours has none.
I would like to see daily, weekly, quarterly and expansionly leader boards, but ranked for each class – so no shadowknight vs Guardian competition but instead lets see who is the best.
Of course organised groups will dominate the top boards, or will be likely to, but it would be cool to see temporary titles etc come in like this.
I would just like to see the armor that is used in Battlegrounds actually do better than a player with full t4 raiding gear destroy everyone on the battlefield that ares actually wearing Battlegrounds armor! Tired of seeing these players kill me or others in BG and they have not even one Battleground item on?
