- Proposal
- Queue all online level 80s for battlefields at 14:00 and 20:00 and make the hour afterward a "Call to Arms" time for additional battlefield rewards. Rewards could be double battlefield tokens, or a daily loot crate item similar to the login bonus.
- Justification
- Battlefields are challenging to schedule and get into. They also come with a lot of "house rules" that change the way they are played a lot. If we set specific time for people to be queued the barriers to entry are reduced by a lot.
- Motivation
- Encourage pvp in a more "pick up group" style of play, lowering the barrier of entry and allowing more to participate and get introduced to pvp. Also, EU individuals almost never get to play in battlefields and adding an EU friendly timeframe for them to plan around will help utilize existing fun pvp content.
This idea is adapted from another popular non galaxies private server I play. The gist of it is at certain hours the pvp instance opens and all eligible individuals are immediately queued for it. Then for the next hour after the instance invite individuals get a bonus for participating. Individuals still have the option and agency to reject the queue if they don't want to play, but just being reminded it is a thing and being given the option will cause a lot more pickup pvp in these instances.
