Boxing Rating BGs... gonna do it?

[Èlemental]

The rated BG will be the call to arms BG. So it will be only 1 BG and change every week.

No but I believe you are wrong on this subject.

Quoted from a blue.

"Rated Battlegrounds are broken down into three brackets. 10v10, 15v15 and 25v25. These brackets rotate weekly and can be viewed in-game via the calendar by activating the battleground holiday filter."

Seeing as they are broken down in brackets I feel they will share the same liberties as arena did, so they will rotate maps or in this case battlegrounds. So if the week is 10v10 week, we may participate in either Warsong and the new 10v10 map coming out. 15v15 will include SOTA/AB/EOTS, maybe a new one. And then 25v25, will include IoC and AV.

So one week each: AV, AB, EotS, IoC, SotA, WSG.

How do you think teams of five boxers would do in each?
Two, Three or Five, depending on the BG?

Twos only for me from now on-


Also, has anyone done the rated bgs testing on the beta a couple days ago?

I have and I have one word for 80% of the games(I only played 5) and we had gladiator caliber players on both sides.

If you could do nothing but 25v25 that could work out very well for multiboxing...the smaller ones, I still don't have much faith that we'll be effective

[Ualaa]

Depends how you read the quote.

I'd interpret that as
10v10 - rotates between WSG and the New 10-man.
15v15 - rotates between SotA, AB, and EotS
25v25 - rotates between AV and IoC

But you'd be able to queue every match as 25v25, if you wanted.

I interpret it as you get a random 10 man when you que for 10 man, same for 15 and 25. That makes more sense than rotating though the entire schedule--Which would require almost 2 months to do.

It might just come down to team choice, but I'm confident that me and Void'll be able to swing High Warlord on our DK's. /shrug

[Ualaa]

It would make more sense to me, to get a random 10-man, if you queue in the 10-man bracket.

But if the blue quote is correct, with the "these brackets rotate weekly", then 10's and 25's are on a 1-2-1-2 rotation while 15's are on a 1-2-3-1-2-3 rotation.

[Mosg2]

Um, I'm not sure how you got that exactly Ualaa. My interpretation is thus:

Week 1: 10 man BG's. You que with 10 people and get a random 10 person BG.
Week 2: 15 man BG's. You que with 15 people and get a random 15 person BG.
Week 3: 25 man BG's. You que with 25 people and get a random 25 person BG.

It makes sense to me.

I am probably not gonna box rated BGs to start, just cycle my 4 shaman in and out of the team - hopefully it's like arena and each toon only needs to compete in a % of the total games.

Can't wait to see videos posted from ya'll who have success with boxing rated BGs. It's always inspiring.
