Premade Battlegrounds

[Samurai Ed]

In WoW you can make premade battlegrounds which are you get together a group of trusted friends or guildies and join as a "party" for the battlegrounds so it will only be your party against the other team. I realize it could get hard for you to get 100 people (or so we assume) to get in a party to do this but do you all think it will be possible.

Well for the first of all, they say that the battle grounds expand as more players join. But i believe since this is sucha advanced game, having public battlegrounds, so to say available to all controled only by the server would be primitive to my opinion. I hope that there will be a function, so the clanleader of a clan that contains special amount of players, can purchase the rights to rent battlegrounds. What i mean is, he gets the right to rent a battleground in which only signed up members will be able to join, such as clanwars. I mean one clan wants to have a war with other so waht they do is, only of the clanleaders rents the battleground, he decided who is in since both clans give their names and clans decided the map, game style, size of the map etc etc. This would be a great function to my opinion. Cause just battlegrounds, public once where everybody are allowed to come in is kinda boring. they gotta add some spices to it. Like a huge clan can buy battle grounds with some special options added to battlegrounds and players must pay fees to come in and those who are best recieve rewards in the end of each round or something like that, different tournaments hosted by different clans. Would be awesome.

yeah hopefully they'll have something where clans can join up together. I just hope that clans will fight each other instead of clans avoiding each other and just dominating unorganized groups for quick wins, that really ruins a game. Hopefully they'll do something where fighting clan vs clan gives you some kind of special bonus or something so it makes it worth other clans time to make sure they find out where the other clans are attacking and head over to stop them.

Even if they didn't have a special feature to get all of the clan members in at once, you can always just head over to the battle at the same time. People did that in WoW AV when they took off the join as group function for alterac valley. You just all joined at the same time and most of you got into the same game.

In Huxley that would probably be even easier because you travel to the battles so you can all just head out at the same time and make sure you enter the battle all together.

Another way to make sure you always get in together with a big group is to just start battles on your own. Find a zone that isn't under attack yet and gather your entire clan and take them to a certain zone and launch a full scale attack. That way everyone you're with will get into the battle and of course it'll be kind of a suprise attack on the enemy :D

[Samurai Ed]

I've heard in multiple places that there would be clan matches in battleground settings but no one knows how it will work. Do you guys think it will be more like WoW where you can ask to go to a battleground then walk away to do your own business while it finds a battleground for your or do you think there will be a loading screen while your waiting?

[eclipsedmind]

this whole things sounds awsome.having organized matches is great and full scale suprise attacks even better.Objective:PWN some unprotected town kill all who dwell.Organized sounds sweet:D

[Samurai Ed]

I really hope they have an "honor" system like in WoW with extra gear you can earn as a result of doing well in PvP.

This game won't really work like WoW in that many ways, besides the fact that it's an MMO. To get to battles you travel to them, not sit on a loading screen. There might be something to search for battles, but they could just have a map that you look at to find what zone is under attack etc. (i'd prefer that way personally). And yeah nobody really knows how it will work because not much info has been released about how you get into battles.

They'll have an honor system but it's not just for gear. You level up with a combination of PvE and PvP and you get gear from doing both.

In one article they actually mentioned that it will be like that, you sign in in which battlezone you want to enter and wait for the ability to enter. But since you gain rank from both PvE and PvP i doubt that the wait time will be long enough for you to have time to exist the building.

yeah I figured there would be some wait times with everyone trying to get into the biggest battle they can find, and thats all fine with me. I thought he was asking more along the lines of how in WoW you can just click "join first available" or something like that. and then you click enter, a loading screen pops up and you're in the whatever instance they decided to throw you into.

I just didn't think Huxley would be like that because they have the......6? I think it's 6 different cities (meaning the cities you fight at, not the capitals) with all the different battlefields. And since I don't think there will be multiple instances for each battlefield I would figure they'd make you pick which field you wanted to enter. Or at least pick something like join nearest ongoing fight or start your own attack, something along those lines.

And they said that you can enter the battles by walking through a kind of hallway that acts as sort of a portal to the battlefield. So if you're waiting in line to enter, do you think that once it's your turn to go in it'll just teleport you in or would you have to stick around and walk through the door yourself? Maybe that's more along the lines of what was being asked. Can you just run over, jump in line and then leave, with the ability to auto join the battle from wherever you may be. Or do you have to wait and enter through the door when it's your turn.

I agree with you though, I doubt there will be much of any waiting times with so many different battlefields and so many possible different battles going on at once. Unless you're waiting to join a fight that a friend is already in, you should be able to find a fight in no time at all.

I hope so, and it most likely will, but with limitations. Like say the kind of match is a 20 vs 20, and you can only bring in 10 pre-grouped buddies max. Or say its a 100 vs 100, and you can only bring 50 buddies at the very max. I dont want to see a whole entire ownage of the field cause of people who play INEPT amounts of time, I can be addicted to games, but the people who play like 16 hours or some *Censored Word**Censored Word**Censored Word**Censored Word* NON stop and they totally dominate the battlefield every time they enter because of their gear is annoying.

2 Capitals 8 smaller cities. 50/50 for Alternatives and Sapiens, they say there will be 80 battlezones too so im not so worried, 80 different once that is.

That preview is from here .

8 smaller cities that's what it was. And maybe you travel to these cities and then go to a sub section from the city to a battlefield? Something like that, who knows. and hopefully battles will last a bit of time, so if a certain battlefield is getting dominated and is a sure loss, you can just pick on of the MANY different battlefields and go fight there.

As much as some of the Features in wow such as honor system, and ranking gear rewards are cool, I really dont want that here. I've been playing WoW since beta and I really want a different game. I really hope a good MMOFPS like this game will help.

Trust me this game will be totally different. Lots of people just use WoW as an example because almost everyone has played it and knows what they are talking about.

So saying that there will be a sort of PvP rewards like WoW isn't completely wrong I guess. But I don't think It'll work like WoW at all (grinding the same damn BG for hours a day to get 1 peice of armor). Sure you'll probably get rewards for PvP but I'd think/hope it would be from missions and stuff like that.

As for premade groups, it would be ok I guess as long as the clans didn't abuse it. As in trade exp. with each other to level up quickly or get items etc.

I would love it if they had rewards similar to BF2142. Where yo ugain exp when you manage to get a reward, the harder it is the more exp. Rewards are pretty much at everything you can do.

[eclipsedmind]

You should be able to get different amounts of exp with different kills like head shot give some depending on the target position say moving at full speed on a very fast vehicle you get more exp than a head shot on still target.

Just an idea inspired by another MMO would be that as you progress and maybe even kill a boss you get a sort of honarable mention like Killer of [Super kick ass hybrid] which gives you added stats for your bravery like +2% movement speed etc.
Other idea is that you have certain none quest but still offers rewards like kill 200 of a certain hybrid and gain a new set of pockets to add to your armor or such
Last idea is that if you ever played GW you know that the leading region like Europe gain bonuses while being in the lead in PvP like more xp maybe 1.3 the normal rate or such maybe the odds of good drops are higher but for the diffrent races not clans as clans aint that BIG
