Idea for a new battle ground

[Toresky]

First time posting here, but I have been reading these forums for some time now, and decided to post an interesting idea me and a friend had last night. I like playing WoW to kill time, and I enjoy the pvp and battlegrounds the most. Then an interesting idea came up when I was talking to a friend about the good old ICC loot ship days, and thought how cool would be be if there was a sky battle between horde an alliance in Mists of Pandaria. It would be just like the event in ICC, two airships with people taking siege on the other ship. Boarding, sabotaging, and shooting the enemy ship until one loses its hp and crashes.I think something like this would be pretty intense and fun.

PS. I figure that some people probably talked about this, but i couldn't find the post, so I thought i write it up and see if anyone wanted to discuss.

That's a great idea... for PvE. PvP mean Player vs Player, not Cannon vs Ship. Athough it's something new and nice. I'd like to at least try it before I could decide.

Yea I agree, cannon vs ship would get boring fast, so the idea would be that there would be nodes you can take control of that would reward you extra damage on the turrets, or more turrets or other stuff like that. So it be like arathi basin meet loot ship.

I think BG's need to stop being vehicles, and do more something like..

escort something from one side to another, team who does it faster wins.

Agreed.

escort something from one side to another, team who does it faster wins.

That I disagree with though, sounds way too much like Team Fortress, which I find rather boring :P

I actually like your idea. Also i would love just a pure death match bg.

Have fleets of ships sparing off, you can take either teleporters or very direct flights from friendly ship to friendly ship. Each ship has a cap point like EotS or AB. Each ship fires at the enemy fleet throughout the battle. If you cap an enemy ship, the guns go silent. They can cap the ship back to keep it firing. After a certain amount of damage one side's fleet sinks and they lose. Going from friendly ship to enemy ship would be done via boarding planks/ropes. Probably could do something like have ships go down one at a time, therefore the battleground as a whole is shrinking as the fight goes on, but that might be hard to balance (in terms of losing 1 ship puts you at such a disadvantage that its pretty much first ship lost losses). Also, no airships. Im talking naval battle.

EDIT: Also, guns are automated (fired by NPCs). No player vehicles in this at all.

I'd not mind seeing it in-game as long as it meant a new BG. I'm getting bored of the same BG's all the time :/

I had an idea like this, but Blizz will propably find a way to fuck it up.
Also: no vehicles or something that has a really big impact like in GW 2.
And no npcs

I personally would like to see a fun BG with powerups like some sort on mario kart idea :P

I would like one. PvP for dummes we can call it. Can be a classic flag capture but you lose HP/mana every second you are too far away from your flag or the enemies flag. Can add a few more stuff for flavour.
