I got an awsome battle ground idea.
Basics:
2 ships sailing next to each other. Horde on one Alliance on another. The ships are equiped with cannons and repair chests.
Point:
The point is to get the other ship to sink.
Cannons:
-There is 2 types of cannons. One is like a long range smaller shot faster shooting cannon.It is used for like killing other sides players and for small amount of damange to other ship.
-Second one is like a short range large slow blaster. It is used for like blowing holes in the other ship.
Repair Chests:
In the chest there is material to repair your ship. The repair mats are like uneque equip (10).
The ships sail next to each other so ranged classes can attack other players from there ship.
If the battle lasts for more then 15-20 mins the ships start to go closer and you can bourd the other one and start to kill there players. You can also take gunpowder from your ship and plant explosives on there ship.
Feel free to post your ideas positive please.

I really like that idea...it could be called Stranglethorn Skirmish or something like that lol. But what would the melee classes do while the ranged classes fire away but melee can get up close?
Anyways, here's 1 suggestion I thought of for that minor problem: Players can load themselves into the longer range cannons that are used for attacking players. They aim at a player, if they shoot and hit the player, their target is stunned and they're on the enemy boat. If they miss they go too far or hit the boat and end up falling in the water (which should kill you?)
Anyways just a suggestion, love the idea! Hope it becomes a BG =)
YEa thats what i meant. sorry i though i said it :)
And after a while the ships would start to bourd each other so meelee clases could do that.

I had an idea like that too. You wouldn't happen to be the person on Ravencrest I told my idea to would you?
Well, here's another idea, essentially assault in any fps other than Halo, because Halo's assault is bassically reverse CTF.
One side tries to complete X amount of objectives in Y amount of time, such as blow open door, steal something, sabotage equipment etc. while the other side defends. Then after the first round, the teams switch so that the defenders are now on offense and vice versa. The side to complete the objectives fastest wins.
Well, thats my idea. Wonder which one will be chosen for Wrath of the Litch King?
Edit: spelling
Nope burning legion. But Great minds do think alike (Considering your not some crazy genius)

I had thought about that but dont u think that 15mins is a bit long for meele classes to wait?( I resently changed to balance from Feral so it wouldnt affect me) I like the general Idea, how many men would be involved in it is the only question I would like to ask, I think it should be something like 15 vs 15 just like AB
The melle classes would not just be sitting around.
They could
-Heal ranged classes
-Shoot the cannons
-Repair there ship
For the amount of people it could be like 10v10 or mabey 20v20 (If the game gained alot of poupularity)

Well, we should remember that these are raw ideas that have not be tested or given adequate thought. I'm sure that if one or both of these ideas are used, there will be many tests and revisions before they are released to players. Like my assault idea, maybe 15 minutes is too long or 3 objectives too few. Can't tell unless they are actually designed and tried.
Well the point of the game is to destroy the other person ship. Ranged classes can attack using ranges but think about it. they could just run and hide and get a heal so not really that usefull to range. The cannons are the main attack and anyone can use the cannons. And once they bourd the other ship the mellee classes will of course own.
And they could work it into the game that when you shoot there ship with a cannon depending on how much damage you do to there ship you could get honor.(Like 5-10 honor every 1000 damage done to there ship and you can get like 5000 damage a shot if you hit it in the right spot) Thats not counting if you hit on of there sailers.
There could be npcs (Like AV) the npcs are pirats that will take of cannons not being used or repaird ships.
Keep the ideas coming.

I really like icedtc ideas about multi tiered ships and the plank that comes out for just a little bit so that people can get across. I reallly like the multi teir part the best that would make it more difficult than just having like two decks. I really think this would be a very fun BG if blizz desided to make it
thanks for enjoying my idea :). I kept thinking alittle further, and there could even be a crow's nest on each ship allowing played to get a better view of the battlefield. It may be dumb...but I remember the first few times I was in AB...protecting the LM and calling out the incomings for the BS and Stables.
It was awesome to see battles going on below me, and being able to have somewhat of an overhead view definately helped with strategy. It was always funny to tell the BS we had allies coming in from the water...and then I got to watch the get owned before they even got to land, haha good times!
But that was back in the day when people actually watched flags and knew that defense was more than something warriors should have when they tank, lol.
Yea I agree. Mabey they would have a position on the mast where you could throw bombs down onto the other ship or shoot arrows and stuff like that.
