Feldon From Rothgar on the EQ2 Forums:
Thank you for all the feedback you guys have been giving. I'm sorry I haven’t come back and posted a response before now. I’ve been skimming the feedback and talking it over with other members of the team. The purpose of this post was to get a general feeling from you guys on what we need to look at and address in the future. We’re deep into our expansion cycle right now so it’s too early to give dates about when we can make additional changes, but I wanted to start the discussion as early as possible.
Continue to discuss these issues and know that we are reading your feedback. As soon as we have more info to post we will let you know.
Thanks again for the feedback and thank you for your patience.
Nobody likes Battlegrounds. Remove it, and focus on real content people will use.
Deeping into their expansion cycle….more like deep into a steaming pile of poop
Warfields is useless. PVP is not groups destroying statues
Remove Battlegrounds and give us PvE content instead of catering to a vocal minority of PvP-morons.
After seven years on pvp servers and countless empty promises by dev’s past and present to fix open world pvp or take our concerns into consideration only to be ignored both the feedback thread and this response is nothing more than yet another empty gesture. The community stressed the addition of BG’s (carebear pvp) to pvp servers would have a detrimental effect on open world pvp but were ignored, the community also advised on the potential issues of flying mounts and warfields and yet again ignored. The broken promises over the years just continue to keep mounting, gratz devs.
Battlegrounds suck. I think there should be a pvp option for PvE servers personally. Open world PvP is the only PvP worth doing, which could be incorporated easily if you use your imagination. Also PvP armor on PvE servers should go, if the server is focused on raiding and dungeons, that should be the armor we use in PvP. Finally and most obvious, class balance. No one likes getting one shotted by a tank (hint hint SK)
Daalilama i agree with you. Doesnt really make sense to have forums in the first place if theyre ignored. SOE does a good job of being creative and putting in features we enjoy, but small issues go a long ways in pvp. Then again, why Put pvp into a pve game if you arent going to do it right?
Whats worse is they used part of the battlegrounds stuff to make the dungion finder, and that is why both realy dont work well.
Using one broken thing to fix another, enough pvp stuff, we had pvp servers, we dont need bg. If you want pvp then change servers.
I do like battleground. i want them to be fixed, and back again.
I have had lots of fun with Battle Grounds. Especially during the first few months. Im looking forward to a shape-up.
battlegrounds is good fun and a nice break from the yawn of quest or crafting and more. but it needs to be faster into the matches and klack sucks hate the group BG . if you don’t get a healer on your team and the other side does get one you might as well hit the green arrow and leave . replace it with one on one matches now that would be fun . i always said if i do play pvp better get rewards like BG merchants offer otherwise rather not even play it at all .
