When I click your link it keeps bringing me to a "post new thread" page... Is it supposed to do that?
Anyway, if they're actually going through with this then all I have to say is "ABOUT TIME!!!"
Super excited to have a point allocation system tied to jobs. Thank you for that. All of this is good news though. Can't happen soon enough. -

YOSHIIIIIIIDAAAAAAAA. -

is there any hope that we'll finally be able to 1v1 in the Wolve's Den? I'd personally love to go head to head with some of my FC and LS buddies. Doesn't even have to be ranked or offer rewards. Just something cool they could add. (Could even be a practice mode so to speak)
-
12-14-2015, 02:00 PMTheWaywardWindThis will never happen.Quote:

12-14-2015, 02:03 PMKaiser-AceHey, even if it's a pipe dream, I can still dream of a "Duel" mode. I will agree though, in almost all but Melee Dps vs Melee Dps matches it's be a little strange to a complete farce.Quote:

I think Warrior vs Dark Knight could be interesting, but again, I see how 1v1 doesn't exactly work well with the combat system design.
FF14's combat is too slow for an interesting 1v1 match. -

1vs1 only works at LV1.... ^^;

12-15-2015, 07:17 AMDemonwrathDeathreignNobody wants to just grind den, i wanna see a full revive of all pvp modes, more incentives, 1 minute queues. Damn elder scrolls online queues are under 30 seconds, warframe few minutes, gw2 really fast. Ff14 cross play and queues are like a dead mmo. Cater to hardcore pvers every update Square Enix! Draw casuals,crafters,gathers,rpers,ect i just want fast queues! People have lives se cant wait for these queues 24/7! Btw everyone look at this comparison! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NFtA30bhEA my comparison!Quote:

1v1 would be amazing if just for fun, not rank or score charted in any way. I would love to take on some warriors with my monk for a laugh and see what strategy I could come up with to whittle them down while not dying to a fell cleave, but if scores were kept then the whole thing is messed up. All you would see were AST, SCH and WAR in queue, with the occasional SMN.

12-15-2015, 04:53 PMVandrilThat's because ESO's PvP is a giant, never-ending zone of an instance that you can get into nearly instantly so long as the zone's population isn't capped, which, from experience, it almost never is unless you play on the popular campaign of the month. We're talking the capacity for at least 500 players per faction with three factions, all in one zone. And the system doesn't try to balance the factions, either; if there's room, you get in quick even if your faction has 10x the number of the rest of them. Of course queue times would be so short.Quote:

GW2's queues are short because it has no factions. And doesn't the PvP draw players in from every server, instead of just your Data Center?
Anyway, FFXIV PvP queues (for Frontlines, at least) would probably resemble GW2's if Square both removed GC restrictions in PvP and/or drew people for matches from all Data Centers within a geographical area (ie all US DCs, all EU DCs, and all JP DCs). I hope they someday do that. -

Eh, a data center is a collection of servers. They already do that.
-
12-15-2015, 07:18 PMCeveArthuthe point he was making is that they should, in the interest of matchmaking, combine Primal+Aether as a single node and Mana+Gaia+Elemental as another single node, as they are all housed in the same building complexesQuote:

12-16-2015, 05:28 AMVandrilYep. I mean, at that point, why even keep them separate? There's, what, 20-200 ft. in distance between certain Data Centers since they're in the same huge complex (maybe even the same room, for all we know)? They're already in the "same center", they just act like they aren't.Quote:

But when the geographical position of multiple Data Centers is the same, latency would no longer be an issue if they were combined and there's no reason to keep them separate.
