Quit, may come back for PvP

[AldricBranchais]

Really enjoying the patch so far. Crystal Tower, while not entirely difficult, is a lot of fun, the extreme primals are a proper challenge for their ilvl, and the PvP is an absolute blast! I highly recommend at least trying it out for a while and getting the groove of it before passing judgment.

Gw2 PVP is far better. This is pretty much just a epilepsy simulator in a small arena. The game just not designed to handle PVP.

Please. GW2 pvp was awful. Doesn't hold a candle to GW1.

ARR pvp has some issues and needs some balancing but there is far more dynamic strategy involved in ARR than in "everybody is now a ranged, dodge the circles" GW2. Go into ARR and every fight is different, and you have to adapt to your comp and enemy comp. GW2, just dodge roll and spam, all the time

PvP in this game is just a distraction, no more than that. It's something else to do when you have a bit of spare time. It isn't great but it's probably better than most expected it to be, especially as everyone's expectations for it were pretty much rock bottom.

But if you're playing an MMO just for the PvP it's highly advisable you go elsewhere.

Haters are haters, but no one force you to play FF14 PvP tho.

Well you complain because you want to see it improve, look at the housing crisis. No one forces you to buy a house.

Just wanted to put my 2c in.

To start the PvP hasn't really hit its strides yet. It could use a few tweaks for sure but the full meta/standard hasn't bet set in stone yet.

I would say if you like the pioneering aspect of a lot of PvP hop on in, but not on the sole account of the PvP as it is unrefined currently.

It's pretty funny that I'm wrong for answering a question about 2 games I have actually played, and can compare. You on the other hand have no basis for comparison. On a side note, you know nothing about animations until you play melee PvP in this game.

GW2 PvP may be worse than GW1, but it is still far superior to ARR.
I can't even believe you think there is more "dynamic strategy in ARR", there are no specs, no combo fields, and contrary to what you said, dodging actually adds another layer to pvp. Give it 2 weeks, whatever OP comp (probably Smn Smn sch, pld/war) will just run train on everyone.
There is no difference between one bard or another bard, or any other class comparison because of the fact that there is no spec customization.

Comparing these two games on pvp is like comparing and apple to an apple that a bum took a dump on and threw in the garbage. It just wasn't built with pvp in mind.

Fought a lot of SMN/SMN/SCH/TANK today. Beat all of them. <_< Honestly, the only comp that's fucking annoying for us right now is BRD/BRD/SCH/PLD. Granted both BRDs we fought had the entire left side of their sheet in Warwolf.

question about Ct about the loot locked if u get loot r u locked from Ct entirely?

[GilbertLapine]

Final Fantasy is all about the Fantasy and PvE. Guild Wars is about warring guilds and PvP. So I'd stick to GW if you're looking for great PvP. FF isn't there (yet?).

I'll make my exit now

I love how many people like to say "this is what final fantasy is about" when most FFs center around some kind of major international conflict, often a world war.

/facepalm

Just because the online games draw on single-player titles doesn't mean the game is 'about PvE'. XI may have been a total fail in PvP, but that was a shortcoming of the development, not the world's potential.

If you get one piece of gear from any boss in CT, you can no longer obtain gear from CT. However, you can still run it I assume? So make sure it's a piece that counts, usually get something that won't be replaced until Turn 5.
