Switch back to the original battleground menu

#0 - March 25, 2010, 4:39 p.m.

Dear Blizzard,

Can you guys please switch back to the original battleground menu so we can see what games we are about to join? I know a lot of people who are upset because of the new menu. We'd all like to see which games are new and which games are old. Just switch it back but keep the random battleground feature. It would be nice if we got a reply from a blue on this matter and see what the future holds for the battleground menu.

Thank you Blizzard and good day.

If any of you agree with me and want the old battleground menu back, just /sign. Thank you.

The Battlemasters/magical Dalaran portals are still there to assist you if this is what you are looking for. I just logged in and saw a list of the couple running BGs (it's early so not a lot is going on at the moment).

Q u o t e:

you dont see it when you press H

H (by default) accesses the new random and mobile battleground features, if you'd like to use this it works differently than the old way. The battlemasters will still exist if you would like to continue to do things the old way.

Q u o t e:

Old way? By old way what do you mean? It seems the same to me. If I press H I am only able to see the list of battlegrounds, but not a list of battleground rooms such as Alterac Valley 1, or Alterac Valley 2. You're trying to say the battlemasters will still exist if you would like to continue to do things the old way. But when I go to the battlemaster it's still the same as pressing H.

Sorry if I'm confusing you, I'm just trying to clear things up.

The update we did in patch 3.3.3 is meant to emphasize the random battleground feature and overall help battlegrounds "pop" faster. If you are still looking to pick only certain existing battlegrounds, especially since you won't get the freebie marks from a quick win/loss now, you will need to do that through the battlemasters/portals.

Q u o t e:

Alright, so you're saying that we can queue up for an existing battleground. Correct? Okay, say my friend is in Warsong Gulch 3. How would I go to select and join Warsong Gulch 3? Or am I unable to do that?

Head to the battlemasters in any of the major cities.

Q u o t e:
I'm at a Battlemaster right now and there's no list of currently running BGs, only the description of each battleground when selected. Is this working as intended?

I saw two of them when I was there a few minutes ago. There tends to not be a lot of BGs running at this hour of the day.

Q u o t e:

Yes he has and I appreciate his patience and his time, but some of us are still a little confused as we are not seeing what he is seeing. Bornakk, none of us see a list of certain existing battlegrounds when we go to any of the battlemasters. I am still unable to see Warsong Gulch 3 or Alterac Valley 1. Only a description of the battleground itself.

It looks like there is a bug with this system at the moment and what I saw earlier was a fluke so I would look bad. We are investigating this but it looks like what I've said is how it's intended to work.
