I've been looking forward to participating in the Open World PvP Matches since I first heard about them.
I am actively playing in Icewind Dale now.
When I head into the PvP Flagged Area I cannot seem to find these "Control Points" that I am supposed to "Hold" for my side. Mostly I just wander around killing things and mining the occasional Black Ice Node and that seems to accomplish nothing.
So what am I doing wrong here?
How do I actually do some good for my side, aside from thinning out the Competition a little?
I've covered every inch of the PvP Area and haven't found anything I can interact with, nor any Points that change color like in regular PvP Domination.
Thanks in advance for the help and my apologies if this is a stupid question

It's not a domination match.. or even a match whatsoever..AFAIK
I thought that there was a mention of an Encounter-style Event in the PvP Area?
As of yet I have never seen one.
Somehow you are supposed to activate a Black Ice Mother Load?
I cannot find any details, and I have check the Forums and Google.
My best guess is that I am misunderstanding something very fundamental that just about everyone else gets.

On the preview server there were announced times when the domination match would begin. Then you could run on the towers and capture them just like in a regular PvP match.
Either there is a bug and the matches are never starting, or they've changed what triggers the event (a certain number of people from each side, maybe?)
But no, you're not missing anything. It's just not working properly at the moment.
