PvP is dead

[Kelg]

Takes forever to find a game. Does anyone even do pvp regularly?

I thought PvP was dead the day it was released. :O

It's very deep down on the priority list, I think, so it's not surprising. Maybe a future patch (or an actual expansion) will actually bring it up to the desired standards, but yeah, right now there's not much point in doing it....even less so because it's completely broken in many ways. :/

that would imply it was alive at some point

It's a Final Fantasy game, pvp has never been a priority which is why 2.0 wasn't launched with it. Final Fantasy 11 was the same way. PvP was added for the minority who believe that no mmo is complete without pvp.

I hate to say this but if you want a pvp fix you may need to keep a game like Guild Wars on the side. As far as I know, only the Guild Wars series was built from the bottom up to have balanced pvp that is equally as important as their pve (in some cases more important than pve).

PVP needs more than just the challenge log to make it worth it, honestly.

It really needs to get varied a lot. More than just 4 on 4 combat...more than just 2DD, 1 Healer, 1 tank combat. It needs a LOT more battlefields and landscapes.

Something more massive would be satisfying as well. Say what you will about ESO, but their castle capture PVP battles seem pretty awesome. Obviously don't just copy that for FFXIV, but it doesn't feel very epic atm.

Massive scale PvP or bust.

I'm not surprised at all that PvP has gone by the wayside. It was a vocal minority that wanted it, it got a commensurate amount of work and implementation. Is it any surprise that it got what little use it had? A vocal minority is still a minority no matter how vocal it is.

Wait, this game has PvP? REALLY??

Oh wait that's right, I really don't care.
