2.25 the big PVP patch

[snakey77]

personally i this its kinda a stupid patch really wow 12k wolf marks for a piece of vanity gear because lets be honest the gear looks great but who plays enough of pvp in its current state to warrant the actual use of the pvp gear.. and don't get me started on the materia trans whatever is fucking useless cause I'm going to give the goblin 5 pieces of crappy wind materia to get the random chance of getting 1 piece of crappy water materia yeah thats a great system!!not to mention its grade related so you give 5 grade 1 you get 1 grade 1 back.. WTF... all in all they could have really just waited and dropped this bullshit in 2.3 with added content of decent pvp arenas and possible grade 5 materia .. would have made more sense to me!!

You guys do realize, that 10 new ranks, is pretty big. It's a big patch for PvP because those new gear is set in preparation for Frontlines.

even so why not drop the new gear with the new frontline whatever it is why drop it now and make us grind the 1 arena that clearly most ppl are sick to death of doing for shitty marks and huge wait times to que for !!

Ten new ranks and a new tier of gear is a significant problem when one of the major issues with PvP is the rank/gear discrepancy causing unbalanced, skill-less matches. Not to mention with queue times in their present state, getting to rank 40 is going to be one hell of a crusade - sure new people may try it to strive for the set, but the vast majority are going to quit outright when they just get facerolled by people with better gear (as this patch will bring the r30s back out of the woodwork). And there are a LOT of bad r30s.

I guess when I saw "large" I was expecting changes more around the types of pvp available, larger battles or something along those lines. Even fixes to how broken it is right now would have been nice.

10 new ranks I can't achieve because PvP is either dead or unbalanced to new blood. Fixing that imbalance and adding new modes to get more people interested would have been a big patch. This is not a big patch, the fact that you can sum it up in less than a dozen words is proof enough.

Honestly, they should have just held off all the PvP content until Frontlines was ready... Of course, Frontlines will probably require Rank 41 to even enter so that'll probably be dead on arrival too... There honestly isn't even much point preparing anything for Frontlines at this point. If anyone can enter (which is what I'm lead to believe by year old information), then it'll be more accessible than current PvP, but it'll have pretty much the same issues. None of this content is preparing me for Frontlines, because I can't even access PvP as it is now, I wont be getting Rank 10, let alone Rank 40 or any of this gear by the time Frontlines comes around.

Has PVP EXP acquistion been increased in any way? Or perhaps the EXP required per rank? It was already horrendous enough a few ranks before 30, I cannot imagine TEN more that require even more.

That is coming with 2.3
