I want YOU! (Queue hero music)

[myahele]

Aether Data Center and on Adders, I get near insta queues to <5m wait time with the new mode. I don't know the numbers, but it doesn't seem like there are many people compared to other GCs in the Adders.

Still, I'm having a blast and hopefully interest PvP population will remain steady after the hype has died down.

As for why people don't PvP I can only talk about myself:
* Wolves den was not fun at all. You can spend a while waiting for queue to pop and once you get in it's over in less than a minute. Not too much strategy
*Frontlines: Secure was pretty good. Each job/class has it's own role to play, but was pretty repetitive. Still, queue was reasonable especially during prime times
*Slaughter .... Cometeor spam killed it. Since then queue has been very long

If you cannot do damage as Paladin and feel useless you should try playing more because this is untrue. I main a pally and have pvp'd since the cap was 30, it is probably the most op, I always felt I can do serious damage with this class especially in 1 vs 1. And against groups you can buff defence and make them chase you endlessly, wasting their time until some reinforcements come or you down a player before dying. Class is very nice for pvp.

Full swing > Shield Bash > fast blade > Spirits within > savage blade > circle of scorn > royal authority > Shield bash > Glory slash > any mage and dps half dead or more if caught uninterupted in that combo.

You mentioned hero music...and all I heard was Guile's Theme start up immediately!

Why don't people pvp???

When (and IF) the servers and ISP ever get a proper upgrade to current standards, then I'll definitely consider PVP.

As it stands right now, we're dealing with queuing an action and having the server register we've made that action 2-3 seconds later. This, and terrible packet loss for an incredibly high sample of characters that manifests as players and enemies warping around the field of play ever 5 to 15 seconds or so.

PvP is frustrating, nothing else to be added to this, never knew you can make friends in FFXIV, i have yet to find *friends* people dont talk just get in and move out...PvP wont change this fact...if you like it good for you but saying is THE place to be is, as far as I am concerned, not really exactly true.

People never warp for me, only sometimes when someone lags. The queue is horrible, that's why i wish more played

Why I don't pvp? Its boring its just people running away from each other running and gunning sure the new gear from it looks good but not spending my time grinding to rank 50 just to wear it.

We all have different experiences with the game PvP circle had very nice and cool people in wolves den some years ago.

Aside from the GC restriction giving me obnoxiously long queue times (on the day of release no less!) The presentation of the mode itself annoys me in some aspects.

-Node spawns. It's utterly demoralizing when you see three nodes spawn on one side of the map, one of them being A rank and is on a bottle-necked node? Doesn't help later on when you have S rank nodes that spawn next a team that already has two nodes settled in.

-THE GODAMMNED ELEVATION. You know why they stopped designing boss fights on uneven terrain? It messes up AoE targetting. This is especially the case for ranged LB because I've had it missed, on a target I recently bounded with foot graze. And he was still bounded afterwards! The entire area is filled with some sort of incline or decline in terrain, even a 1-ilm difference will render your LB useless (which is definitely the case considering the node placements...)

I'd like to pvp once in a while (I definitely enjoyed doing the Arena while I was 30 on my bard) but yes the huge queue really turns me off everytime and it's a shame since it's a nice distraction now and then.

PS: What if they allow us to upgrade armors via PvP? That would certainly boost the pvp queues a whole lot! I'd rather do PvP than hunting that's for sure.
