*Edit* Do you think in the lore or war craft... when the big ugly orc with a 2h mace runs up to the human do you think he's say O NO!!! I have to run passed you and go get a gay flag that never existed in war craft lore in the first place. No they face-roll each other and we need a BG with just that but still with some strategy. *Edit*
Okay, so here's a bit of my thoughts which probably won't ever be seen or replied to by blizzard... But I'll give it a shot anyways. First the already known and then the unknown/could be change.
1. Most PvP players in battlegrounds just want to run in and fight mid field, regardless of the objectives.
2. Unless your PvP/PvE PvPers are always broke gold wise... I know I am.
3. Sometimes it's gets boring sitting in WoW even if your dedicated to both sides of the game.
OK, now for the could be/changes. Okay firstly, I'm going to explain this next part a little better down the line.
1. A Battleground Strictly based on HK's and a type of resources.
2. The same Battleground except at 80 you get a small amount of currency per win and loss based on percentage of the over all Hk's
3. MINI GAMES ARE ALWAYS GOOD!!!!
NOW, for the explanation walk through. My ideas for this new BG.
Name : Killing fields
(I actually have a few good names this was just the first)
Player Size: 15
Recourse Size: 300-600
Battleground outlook,
Smaller area considerably the size of Warsong Gulch Preferably smaller for that kinda bg, starting point would be enclosed as are the rest of bg's mid field would be engulfed in lava except for large island in the middle. Which you can't fall off of, I would say you could but any side with Balance Druid (Typhoon) or Elemental Shaman (Thunderstorm), would be pretty much win.
The battle area,
It needs to have pillars and maybe burnt charred tree stumps that can be used for LoS'ing, the battle area or (Large Arena) I guess you could say, every 15-20 (which ever) killing blows a single player gets can summon a bolt of some kinda magic or maybe a plague, from the scorched sky above making it a mass aoe damage effect to everyone on the opposing faction, the magic is summoned from a pillar in the middle of the battle area, just run up and right click kinda thing when your KB proc goes off.
Now, I would suggest it to be ever time a single player gets 75 hks they can summon the bolt but, and aoe player would get it all the time. Or, it simply could be when a player reaches 5-10 killing blows they can use the spell but can only use it once per person per match. Basically no rules no limitations just all out war, I call the Plague "Essence Of Death" and the bolt, meh maybe a lighting bolt called.. "Light of Thor". BUT, however the damage may be dealt no resistances no absorptions from it. You know nothing that's going to wipe the whole side but do some damage to everyone, Except god forsaken Pallys (Bubble) and Mages (Ice Block). Also I was thinking instant rez's at Gy's not timers.
*Edit Change* Maybe the AoE summon could go another route, your whole team has to fight for a certain amount of overall KB's (or Depleted Resources) Either way you look at it's still strategy it's takes everyone to win it but you don't nessacarily have to work together as much. I just think it would be fun to see a BG like this I mean 90% of the children that play this game as pvp just HK and KB anyways in a BG *Edit Change*
And obviously since this is a Leveling exp based Battleground it's for any bracket. HK's and wins and loses get you exp. Nothing to fancy more than AB but less the AV I think should do it.
Before I go any further on this new Battleground Idea, I'm going to see what my feed back is like first.
Now, for my next idea, the solution to pvpers being broke,
That same battleground at level 80 could offer currency for a win or loss based on the overall percentage of Kb's
Example,
I'll just say alliance side since I play Alliance.
Quick small player example 15 players, total Kb's 300. 50 copper for every added up kb 300 x 50 copper you just made 1.5g off a match or even 75copper per KB, 2.25g still not bad and thats the basics for the Battleground money it's not much but something to have at 80 for a steady money flow if you want more that's what the daily's are for.
AND NOW FOR THE MUCH WAITED SOLUTION TO THE OCCASIONAL BORD EM!!!
I propose old fashioned WoW like mini games. That can be played and rep is won or money is won,
now, I will go into more detail with this part as I get more feedback but basically, Things like archers ranges, more realistic fishing you know catch record breaking fish and your name be posted for it stuff like that. etc.. Or see if you can kill this many Murlocs in this amount of time sorta thing. With this idea the list goes on and on and on so I'm leaving it at that for now.. I have much more, but I need good feedback and support to even begin trying to do anything with this, and the help of everyone spreading it to come and discuss it, you know get some pages open but not with stupid stuff..
And if all else fails there's always pizza!!!
*Edit* I forgot to mention lmao... the mini games would be in what I call a Fun Zone kinda like taking a kid to Chuckie cheese lol...
