Even if you win consistently, it takes hours and hours just to buy one thing. I realize crafters can make starting pvp gear, but considering how much stuff there is to buy, couldn't the rate be increased just a little?
Where's the thumbs down button? why are people Liking this sarcasm? Did I say "we should be able to get everything instantly?" NO! I didn't.Quote:
I know right? It's only been a few hours why can't we completely exhaust this content already.
As it turns out my complaint may be premature as it seems XP and marks are based on the PvP rank of the players in the match; but seriously: just look at how much stuff there is to buy and how much it costs. I'm not proposing that it be done in a week or a day, but it IS a little on the slow side.
wolf mark gain rate is incredibly slow.

12-18-2013, 01:59 AMAlhanelemThanks for the insightful reply. I'm not proposing they just hand us the rewards on a silver platter, but take a look at the prices (several thousand marks for each item) vs how much you earn (30 for a win, 10 for a loss) and tell me its not a LITTLE high.Quote:

How much is a little.

I'm kind of disappointed you get points for losing. Maybe the cost of PvP gear is too high but it gives people something to do.

I've been getting 50+ for wins. Maybe it depends on the rank of the people you are facing or you get more marks for your personal rank. I'm guessing it doesn't stay low forever.

Already have the i70 boots, and rank 8. Doesn't take too long, couple hours and it's not terrible, sleep isn't as overpowered as people claim.

You get 10x less for a loss then a win like when I won I got 50 and when I lost I go 5xp
the gear cost 20k for the first set
so it will take about 1000 matches to get the starter set if you win 50% of the time.
One arena area is going to get old long before 1000 matches -

If you ask me ranking up in PvP is too fast. they should slow it down. but just a little.

This content update is supposed to last till 2.2.....which is at least 3 months away. Stop trying to rush through it.
-
12-18-2013, 02:37 AMJayCommonAre you going in with pre-mades or random group? Didn't they say there would be a difference in the amount you can earn between those two? I could be wrong....but I think I remember reading that somewhere.Quote:

Only 1 location to fight in and with the high costs of gear and low pay out it will not be worth the que time and the extreme number of matches you must do for gear that is already in game but re colored -
12-18-2013, 03:03 AMxRitzxFF14 doesn't surprise me that it still gives you points for losing in PvP. They changed the MVP system to MIP, were reluctant to make a kick function, and other things that are an attempt to make FF14 a peaceful winter wonderland type of place where everyone is equal and noone loses. But there is little discouragement for losing PvP IMO because there are rewards and no penalties. Yes, it's undeniable that less people would play if you received nothing or had punishment for losing but some people like myself like that when it comes to PvP.Quote:
