Discussion: Blizzard adds Battle for the Darkspear Islands battleground to World of Warcraft: Forever

[GAMER2GO Newsroom]

The 15v15 map sends the Darkspear Raiders and Theramore Expeditionary Force into a fight for four capture points, a central flag, and faction rewards.

Read the full story. What do you think?

The mixed objective design is the most interesting part to me. Four capture points plus a carryable center flag could make the battleground feel less like a pure zerg and more like a real rotation game, which WoW PvP has needed for a while. My only concern is whether pugs understand when to split off and when to hold the center, because that kind of map lives or dies on basic team awareness.

@1112 the rotation part is exactly why i think it could work. if the flag is only extra score and not the whole match, then you get actual map pressure instead of one dumb mid fight forever.

the rep vendors at the bases are the sneaky good part to me. if i can queue, turn in quests, and buy useful stuff in one place, that is way more likely to keep people coming back than the battleground itself.
