PVP General Discussion

[Kiara1]

Now that I started doing pvp I want tips and advice from ppl more experienced. I also want to know if you've had any really good games recently that you'd wanna share so I figured I'd start a thread where we could chat about anything regarding pvp!

Today I've had a 60% winrate (30 games so far) and last week I was at around 45-50%. I'm not sure if I'm improving or if I get better teammates haha but it sure feels great being on fire

Working on a guide for people starting out in my link shell. I find myself repeating the same things over and over 2-3 times a day for the members we pick up each day. So I've decided to just write up all the basics tips I give each member.

I expect to have a rough draft out in the next week or so for the community to debate and add to.

[Kantei]

The guide will cover a wide range of things such as:

Rumor Mill:

Match making tips:
Mean, median, maxing exp, friendlies, Alternative rule sets, win trading, exp gain per hour. Specific time frames before match making lowers its match making standards (the real reason ques are broken)

Community building:
Starting out: Recuitment, leadership roles, communication macro/voice chat, Respect between new members/experienced players.

Medium/Larger community: Leadership, Trainers, Mascots, Team Colors, effective ways to get high ranked and new players to play with each other, Abrasive personalities, Kicking Members, linkshell/fc
restrictions.

Data center communities:

Gearing up: Brackets, BiS, Effective ways to spend your points. Morale.

Job tips: Macros, Roles, PvP skills, Tactics, countering specific skills/tactics, effective skill combos. Effective communication for both voice chat players, and text chat players. Text chat advice also helps when solo quing.

I'm still just above 50% winrate, meself. Been queue'ing solo as SCH the past couple weeks.

I know everyone says the Datacenters are the death of PvP, but I gotta say I like seeing the familiar faces. Lots of friendly people on Aether. Some people's comments made me tear up, haha. I kept matching up with people in all yellow outfits, and they explained it was their server's color. Still see them sometimes. Inspired me to take up this nasty green color for my outfit. Unless we already have one, I'm claiming Moss Green as Goblin's official color! It's so awful, and it's so Goblin.

Oh, and I'm always interested in tips for SCH, or healers in general. Especially from people that've personally played hide and seek with me.

Also, good idea for a thread. Surprised we didn't already have one like this.

I'm doing pretty decent, I've been mostly fooling around trying to figure out how to play my role (Black Mage)
I found out pretty quickly black mages are not meant to be big damage dealers, but rather Crowd Control and "Tanks".

Mostly gearing up and pvping with friends, we are using Pumpkin Orange for our Team Colors

I can't wait to read your guide, it's gonna help a lot of people I think!


Also I agree with you Mirili, yesterday I played alot with and against three persons from odin and after I had got into their team twice and we won both they said things like "You rock Kiara!" which made it even more fun to play. I hope I get grouped up with them again sometime

Damnit I don't remember your name. But I'll look for you when I'm doing pvp

Today I got a bard with almost full ilvl 100 pvp gear in my team, above rank 36 I think. That was weird cause I'm only rank 14, and we won that one quiet easy

[maxm92]

if that was vs me ( whm white ) my mouse was misfonctionning , i didn t cast any spell , it was realy fast yes lol

But thats didn t means anything to play a party vs a team without any healer , i was sitting because could not play the only heal was my cast hot before the start
