2.2 PVP CHANGES

GW: In patch 2.15 it was mainly adjustments related to PvP.

Y: I think with the last 2.15 patch, it spread it out. There is one staff that’s always doing Wolves’ Den but if you watch that staff he plays in different variety, says the WHM is now strong. We’ll continue to observe the situation, and we’re going to put in rating match in patch 2.2.

GW: What kind of regulations will the rating system have?

Y: Right now we’re looking into what to split the entrance. But we’re going to make adjustments so those who just started PvP won’t get matched up with those who has tons of points already. Top ranking players with Dire gear is too strong, so we’re going to make it where players can get that at lower rank and make it where they’ll gradually get stronger. We’ve put in detailed changes here, so we’re planning to explain this in the next live letter or at the timing when we read the patch notes.

I think we need more threads that have this SAME EXACT excerpt.

I only made this post because ive been reading threads and people seem like they don't have a clue of what is going on in the game.

All I hear with this is that your long queues are going to become longer. Lemme hurry and knock out these last 4 ranks before 2.2

Your wrong on all accounts miiyoaoi this is to appease the masses that complain pvp is unfair and unbalanced. This is to balance pvp as a whole and bring new people into pvp not scare them away please do more research before you just blurt out about everything. So many people want match making and rating and that's the reason most rank 30s left because there is no incentive no rating no match making systems. On the other hand we do have pve hero's who only grinded pvp for the look of the gear and those are the people who made pvp hell. Because they didn't care if they won or lost they just wanted the skin and that's not the mentality pvp needs. Again do more research before you make comments on how its gonna make things worse

If they're going to squeeze all dire players in with dire players, then the cue should be a lot shorter as the pool is limited and with 'PvPers'.

I only usually pay attention if it's something relevant to my interests. Pvp is not one of those interests.

Games needs better PvE before pvp.

Some people want to do both have good pve and pvp. The pve side is decent pvp could be better and they are trying to make it better that's all i was referring to

Sorry but you'll have to find a r30 to quote you on this. I'm sure if asked why they left it's simply because they got the gear they wanted. They give 0 crap about rating/matchmaking as they can curb stomp the majority of players @ r30 and get points faster. There are occassional fun battles when matched with an even team, but it's few and far between. I have yet to hear anyone say they pvp for fun. You can not promise me enough ppl will come back, or how fast more ppl will come to pvp due to changes. It could be another half a year before pvp is "fixed" and word gets around. So the matchmaking could be a total disaster for current players.

I can't envision matchmaking neways. If morale is invalid on 30 and 40 how much more "matched" can you be. The only way you can seperate ppl into classes is those who have 0 experience, those who don't have enough points to have skills, those who have skills, and those who have reached r30. New people complain and leave because they find it unfair because they enter pvp and get zerged in less than 2 mins. They're not used to it and don't understand it (since they probably haven't read up on pvp or noticed the skills you can obtain). Thus the most easy thing to do when frustrated with this is to say it's unfair or unbalanced. I have a perfect example for you. Post by Oddbod. Beat down. Clueless about the system. Blame the system.
