Changes to Battleground with Alterac Valley

[Henhouse]

With the new Alterac Valley system being implemented, it's made us wonder how the battleground system will work well without lag or too many battlegrounds open at once. We know AV is going to have to be 15v15 or 20v20 for player and lag reasons but nevertheless it should be fine.

With AV being opened we would have to add it to a BG open time as well, which, aren't that much fun keeping up with what battleground opens at what time, etc.

I've ran this by a few people and I like the idea of how it would work. If you play retail you know BGs have holidays and banners/flags and NPCs are spawned to walk around and sort of advertise that. Well I figured we could do that for every day and each day i'ts a different battleground. Now, I understand some people do not like some battlegrounds and wouldn't get to play BGs all day, and this would cause a problem, which I understand. However I think it will lean people into queuing for the same battleground rather than several.

The other possibility is not on hour queues but different times of the day, however, once again this would lead to problems with time zones and server activity.


If people could post their ideas, suggestions that would be great.

If you have a BG per day, that will cause a lot of conflict, mostly because people are not available to play on certain days.
