So what is the general consensus for the new mode?

[Sunako]

I like new maps more than old ones. Caster lb is not that op anymore since there is lot more space 2 move. Melee lb is still annoy and probably kinda op. That new achievement set looks kinda cool have int and mind at same time. With that set healers can do some dps with small sacrifice.

[gzuscry]

Thing with melee lb is, it is 100% to hit i have never ever see a miss from melee lb, if he gets his bar finished it is 100% hit. Ranged dps on the other hand or very screwed in this aspect as our line is very narrow, easy to escape, we simply have to bind the target and hope it doesnt get unbind in time because of lag or other players hitting your target. 99.99% time is a single targed used. Only real use i thought was to use it as scare tactic on tomelith crowding, but cos its so narow its simply doesnt work. So what I realy want is make BRD/MCH a longer cast time but single target. If I were to dream, i would love this adrenalin thingy to be nice thing in the open world pve.

RNG is SUCH a huge thing in who gets the victory it starts to loose fun after some time. I hade so many fights where tomelith spawning has favored 1 single GC that we simply cannot turn tide, to top it all off battle fever makes the winner ever more powerfull. The real funs are 24 man sieze, thats were rng plays minor role and tactics realy play role.

the animation is extremely obvious though and you can stoneskin/heal/attune to tank it with time to spare

*depends on latency

New mode is pretty fun, as long as people actually listen .....

Rng part sometimes annoying but overall an excellent map and plenty on 1v1 fights

It's pretty awesome running through seeing mini battles going on, alot bettet than the cluster fuck borderlands offered.

I'd like to see slaughter on this map with 0 pve drones and everyone just spread out on spawn but there again everyone would go mid for a cluster fuck.

sure, although im on 150-200 ping because I live in UK (and this wont change when the EU servers move to EU, because im on NA server) and its not overly difficult to tank the melee LBs

[Stupiduglytaru]

Same here uk player, I'll had it plenty of times where I have been no where near a comet. Was popped down and im already at edge sprint away down the stairs into limsa zone to mor dhona log out log in (you take 4k dmg) dafuq is this.

I'm excited for the EU data center...

Its.... ok. not great, just ok. slightly more entertaining than slaughter. slightly.

I understand PVP is not SE's forte (it certainly wasn't in XI), but I wish they would sit down and take a good, hard look at pvp minigames in other MMO and be like "oh that's cool" or "oh that might be awesome, we should do that" and take the existing system and throw it into the sun.

I agree. Swtor and WoW had way better pvp and SE pvp is so very very disappointing. After playing games like Dead island epedemic, 1v1v1 is not only unfair but also not fun. group sizes might also be way too big.

as for the new map it is the best one so far IMO but still suffer from everything i explained above.

I wish so much they did this atleast once..

I feel like matches can be one of these two

>One GC snowballs the entire game because of node spawns being extremely convient for them, whether its close to their base or close to their previously occoupied nodes (typcially "behind" them in a sense)

>One GC gets a stringy of S and A rank nodes near the end of the game, coming from behind and overtaking the leading GC and wins.

S rank nodes are a load of bull. The amount of points they give is so much simply for occupying it compared to how much A and B gives.
