My thoughts after playing 4-5 matches on Haven:

3v3 is too few IMO, everything pretty much depends on your class composition rather than on your ability to play as a team. Class composition was an important factor in old TDM too, but you could somewhat compensate having a mediocre composition if you played well as a team. With 3v3 that's not really possible to do, from what I've experienced (1 conj 1 lock, 1 support knight team ftw). And in 3v3 every player has just too much importance, if one dies the fight is pretty much lost and you can only try to get back to your base. In 6v6 or 8v8 you could still hope to win even if you lost one or two players, and that made the fights much more interesting to me.

I'm ok with the fact bases shouldn't be accessed by other realm players, but the zone that kills you when you're in it seems too large to me. Ranged players can get back there way too easily, and it doesn't really push you to take any risks. I've been in a match where only 2 kills were made during the entire time, as everyone was just camping near to its base. Besides, you get 5% necro if you die in an ennemy base, which seems unecessary to me. Necro is still painfull to grind off for support classes...

Bosses buffs seem ok to me. Haven't seen them getting exploited a lot yet, but I guess that's because it's launch day and people haven't figured out exactly the best strategy yet.

TDM still kills warzone activity. I guess you made it 3v3 so that not too many players would take part in it at once, but since you can apparently have more than one match going on at the same time, it just doesn't work. Everyone is in queue waiting for a match to happen. However, it's still launch day after all so maybe it'll get better after that. I've also seen taking part in a TDM match is supposed to cost "tickets" (it doesn't atm, though), which I guess will be obtainable by taking part in RvR, so maybe that's a way to fix that problem too.

Overall I feel like battlezones do have potential but the 3v3 format is just too restrictive as it is to make them truly enjoyable in my opinion. I really hope it will be changed in the future.
