The PvP Is AMAZING. Square Enix has delivered.

PvP is ok, but needs some tweaking.

1. Reduce start timer to 1 min.
2. Reduce Sleep to 10s or so.
3. Reduce cd of Purify or tweak the Sleep.
4. Playing Melee is a pain in the banghole against moving targets (EU).
5. Kill healer => Win every scenario.
6. SCH >>>>>>> WHM in PvP.

Someone is mad they lost. That's assuming you even played a game before you decided to complain.

So before work this morning I did 8 matches and won them all as a Dragoon, and they where all pug. I pretty much instructed my team to go after their DPS either BLM,BRD,DRG,MNK in that order. As I stay on the healer what this dead was cause the healer to have to keep splitting his heals while trying to avoid me. With everyone else on the team on the BLM its hard for them to get their sleep off, and even if they do either I'm still beating on the healer, or he is getting beat on by 3 others. It seemed to always work within my pug groups I ran. I did have one match where me and another DRG killed a WHM in 5 secs flat lol was pretty funny,.

One of the most thoughtless PvP modes I have played in across several MMOs in a long time. Melee deadzone is infuriating and nigh-unplayable. Sleep CC is unbelievable (30s CC, lol?)

From the comments I read I fear for the pvp community as I said as a Dragoon I have yet to lose a match, and all I see is complain complain complain about sleep which isn't that bad if your team is smart.

1. Sure
2. No
3. Unnecessary
4. Why did we skip 4?
5. I had no latency issues playing on servers in my home region.
6. Yes/No. Killing the healer is generally the best way to secure a win, but if you tunnel vision on the healer, good teams will stomp you.

Has anyone found a way to make pvp hotbars yet on ps3? It's going to get annoying having to manually change hotbars everytime I want to switch between PvP and PvE.

So, I've been playing more recently on my PC w/ Controller, and I've made some adjustments that I don't know if it's the same on PS3, but I'll stick to what the PS3 can do.

First of all I have hotbar#1 (R1+Triangle, and the default hotbar after changing classes) is the only hotbar that is shared amongst classes. I've got my Chocobo summoning abilities, Teleport/return/sprint, and then the rights side has a summon mount, and my main equipment sets macro'd to it.

Then #2 (R1+O, or just tap R1 from main hotbar) is my 'main' hotbar. I can macro almost every command I need to click on WAR into that hotbar.
#3 (R1+X, or tap R1 from #2) is more of a 'stance' bar. EG, on WAR is has my Defiance, and a couple other abilities I don't use often, on PLD, it's got Sword Oath, Shield Oath, Cover. . .

Now, I plan on setting my PvP Hotbars similarly, but on the Dpad (giving myself room to expand my PvE Hotbars) So if the first 4 are the 'shape' buttons, the second 4 'direction' hotbars will be for PvP. eg R1+=> (right arrow lol) will be my main hotbar, and R1+ V (down?) will be my stance hotbar.

Hopefully this was helpful.

I play melee, and I have no issues with sleep or deadzones. Maybe you are not good?

I just wish you could see characters names It's gonna be pretty much impossible to build a pvp community now...not to mention the fact that the Final Fantasy franchise has a HUGE RP-based following. I'm not included in that, but honestly I could see a lot of people being upset that their name isn't visible.

There is NOT a single PvP game in the world that allows 10s+ singe C/C.
That's like a law, a basic, you can't change a fact.
Nobody wants to have to watch their healer get stomped by a team while you sleep for 30 seconds and you can't help it, making the BLM the most needed almost in a PvP.
It's unbalanced and everyone knows it, don't try to defend something that is a failure or else they'll never fix it.
