Cataclysm Wish List: Random BG Tool/Queue
Posted 01/31/10 at 4:33 AM by Nayt
As noted in my Deathmatch BG wish post I'd like to see new life breathed in to BGs. I sincerely hope (and think) that Rated BGs will help aide that but it will still leave a group of people out of the picture. Hopefully BGs will move to Skirmish and Rated (just like arenas) in terms of the interface/options.
The best way to get people back into BGs and encourage group play would be to get a queue system for random BGs. All BGs included can queue solo or with a group (of 5) and you have to have 2 Healers and 3 DPS or 1 Healer and 4 DPS. On top of that including a small damage buff to players in group/party that are near each other. Say....2 yards? Would also aid team play (and encourage GY camping...lol?)
I guess the best thing would be to offer a tad bit of Arena points (not much at all) and bonus honor. Of course a title and a pet.....maybe bring back old school mounts or a modified version. And a bonus token for winning or losing. This system wouldn't discourage solo queuing but it would give people a reason to work together instead of soloing and trying to own everyone while most likely getting absolutely shit on.
Playing BGs with 4 other people that have a common goal or want to win, as opposed to people who just want to farm HKs or don't know what they're doing is probably my least favorite aspect of BGs and I think that people who queue or join as a team have way more fun and have a much greater chance at helping their team.
