PvP Is Dead LOL

so I came back from a few months hiatus and it seems like pvp is dead LOL. where are the damn queues? nothing for FL. guess i should have stayed gone. waste of $14.99 this month. square enix you really need to do something about this; not even kidding.:mad:

nonononono stay
as a SMN or BLM you will enjoy the new FL a lot believe me
(try to get in with the que times though LOL)

Many many posts about long queues here

I think it's lost the critical mass to sustain it. It's just not worth waiting 30+ minutes anymore.

o hi Gor 8)

Mind if I ask some questions?

What Data Center are you and what side are you queuing for?

Also, can I get an idea at what times?

I have a feeling some GCs on certain data centers are winding up with longer queue times due to congestion in their particular Free Company on their Data Center.

Alternatively it may be that Certain Data Centers are more pvp populated than others and there' a congregation going on.

I play Maelstrom on Aether and I'm not running into your problem while solo queuing. 5-35 minutes tops. Averaging around 10 ish during prime time. I'm queuing primarily for Frontlines Roulette. Longest times are usually when I get thrown into Secure.

For me the issue is more of a GC imbalance really, on Zodiark anyway, as most of the pvp'ers I know have all gone to Maelstrom, which in itself is not the problem, the problem is when you get into a frontline and come up against them with a team of 'i'm beast cause i can kill anything solo' people. Turns into a slaughter and many then go 'that was 30 minutes of my life i won't get back' and simply go back to their hunt linkshells

If you're only just coming back, have you unlocked the new Slaughter Frontlines mode? I imagine if you're just joining Secure (the original Frontlines) the queue times might be long because the honeymoon period isn't over yet for the new Mode and many people are just queuing for that.

Well this game was never really heavily centered around PVP to begin with a lot of people ignore it completely (me). I do know a lot of people who enjoy it however but not sure how long they wait in que each day. I haven't heard complaints, maybe the jobs they play or the time they que has to do with it.

Thank you for contributing to this thread.

Hunts killing pvp.

Haha lol, just wait till gold saucer comes out atthe end of this month. Pvp will be literally extinct as chocobo racing will most likely be instanced and the other games will likely take you out of qeue if u choose to commence a mini game.
So pvp pretty much gonna be on hold till the next pvp patch as ppl r going to flock to gold saucer for fun outside of crafting/ raiding.
R.i.p pvp we'll see u again in the next patch or expac.

I just need 25 wins to get my ADS mount and at this rate I wonder if I'll even get to play 25 games before the end of the month.

So true, yet it's not R.I.P. pvp , as racing or card games are actually PvP too, and they're probably gonna work better than any of the FL maps we have gotten, so in a twisted way PvP is probably going to become better and more alive than ever.

Lol no sorry chocobo racing and cards are not PvP .... they're chocobo racing and a card game where players play against one another.

Competitive play will remain, but yes, it only counts as pvp if it involves you murdering another player character.

pvp isn't dead, Aether's favorite player Yui Kotegawa is still plugging away! I even got to meet them again today!

Except it doesn't, PvP means player vs player not player kill player, all the racing games don't stop being PvP because you will them not to be...

Or go tell the Hearthstone massive scene how it's not PvP too rofl

Edit: Which reminds me, does FL count as a more purist PvP form then? Funny that game modes so centric on killing Mobs(aka enemies NPCs) are considered a more pure PvP form than something that's plain player competes with player(or versus i should say :)) modes.

I'd still argue that racing games aren't "PVP" in the truest sense, unless of course you can blow up or otherwise destroy your mounted opponents... ha

Go ask the internet what PvP is in an mmorpg is. I guarantee Google won't tell you its chocobo racing or a card game.

Sigh, ofc other mmos don't call PvP to other kinds of actual PvP(you can't change the meaning of an acronym just because it doesn't fit whatever description you like) because they don't have other kinds of PvP , i can't even remember a handful of mmos that have any PvP besides stuff that involve PKing(which you apparently confuse with pvp).

Card games are PvP, racing games are PvP, chess is PvP, freaking dance revolution multiplayer is PvP, you don't like it go fight with the dictionary - i'm done.

Anyone on Primal have any luck last night? I think I spent ~2.5 hours in Q for two FL's. It was a nice 72-man win and a 24-man heart breaker.

I D/C'd with a lead and came back to a loss. First D/C in a month and it had to be with 27 of 30 points. I could have cried.

I heard Tuesdays are rough because of raid resets. I'm hoping tomorrow is much better.

Queues picked up for primal adders around 9-10 est. <15 min queues but was queueing slaughter only. I'm kind of sick of slaughter tho........

Oops i mean PVP frontlines and the already dead wolves den will be near extinct when gold saucer comes out.
Cuz everyone gonna be yugi and say " its time to du du du du du du du duelllllll " .
Or be NASCAR choco grand prix 1337 get on my level choco racing or bust . Gotta pimp my choco so i can be sawnic! Gotta go fast.

I regret not bum rushing to level 30 then 40/45 when PVP patches came out. Oh well r.i.p my pvp rank progression lol

I'm averaging about 15-16 matches a day since reset. (currently at 48 matches) It was odd but yesterday I had about 4 back to back matches while trying to do my dailies in the afternoon. I guess there just so happened to be enough of each GC on in that hour or two?
