They can always add to The Feast ice spawns to fix that problem. 1 small ice worth 50 points and big ice is 75 points so you don't need to fight actual people to win.

I m gonna play it, no matter what. I m very curious how good/bad PvP will be with Stormblood >: D

Thank god.

Also... what's the point of PvP rank now, if everyone will have the same number of points and traits. Yep, fresh lv30 and 3 year veteran pvper should have the same 'progression' and same stats, seems fair.

PVP is about personal skill, not about grinding ranks and gear.

With this change everybody will be equal, and your personal skill is what will determine a win or a loss.

Well yeah it all depends if the healer is good, if DPS knows when to burst or CC and don't OOS from their own healer etc etc... There's a lot of stuff that will still go on, except DPS rotation!

[QUOTE=Mefa;4153785]Well.. As I'm 99,99% sure I can't enjoy new PvP at all. I don't like casual stuff. I made a suggestion for PvE changes to make PvP players interested other stuff and keep playing .[,/QUOTE]

But this PvP is already casual. In the other hand it seems the new PvP is gonna be more competitive than what we've got right now.

You do know with the new system they can easily adjust damage and healing. Not to mention we don't know what actual skills healers have. They said games are faster. I expect that healers are seriously clipped from what they are now. Controlled gear, controlled skills, and controlled pvp abilities. Will this be fun is unknown. But I wouldn't be surprised if you almost never see culling time. Or that it is balanced that it is impossible to keep one person up when focused with one culling.

I doubt that. I very much doubt that in fact - Not only are healers the least affected by skill pruning, SE also received a lot of feedback of healing being "too hard" in PvP. Moreover, CC seems to be less prevalent with stormblood. I wouldn't be surprised if kills against competent healers end up completely impossible unless coordinating two LBs with the tanks CC.

It's the same dev team that asks us to pull carefully in Xelphatol because the dungeon is dangerous. The same dev team that did not foresee Holy being used to AoE in dungeons. The same dev team that did not foresee nor understand the DPS meta resulting from their tank/healer tuning. The same dev team that just yesterday admitted on Stream that they did not take party DPS contribution into account so far when balancing jobs. How much faith can you have?

I wholly expect them to screw it up big time.

Slept on it, gonna give it a try at least. The fact they've paid any attention to PvP at all means I can at least pay the respect of giving them a chance.
