PvP 3.1 Balance Request Megathread

Randomness is the only thing that allows the terrible teams to actually squeak out a win every once in a while... and given how the limited GC que forces people to party with the same derps over and over at times when they the only 24'ish on a cluster que'ing, it is needed. Cause if they aren't winning... guess who isn't que'ing any more? Those 24'ish. Guess what happens to que for everyone else now? Yeah. Randomness is actually a good thing in Seize. Everyone here should be yelling at SE to remove GC ques, like Jubs is.

And people that bring up "Bring back cleric stance" are obviously dummies that jumped on board the overly unbalanced and boring Slaughter instance, or PvP-main healers that want taste of the ezmode days. I personally don't want to see 4-8 ppl pre-made sch/whm combos camping spawns in Seize. You people suggesting this do realize this is what will happen, yesh?

Shut up, all-WHM Cleric Stance Holy meta was the best. >:I
As a healer, it does make me salty that there are gameplay and cosmetic rewards for getting kills, though.

I agree completely, especially with the current implementation of group PVP. My complaint around Seal Rock centers more over the non-asymmetrical map design (North is generally either a complete wash or a deathtrap, depending on initial node spawns) and the early appearance of A/S-ranks that can completely tilt the game in someone's favor.

In general, though, I want them to move towards a smaller, non-GC restricted battlegrounds system with two sides. Aside from every other thing that's been said about the format, losing at a statistical average of 66%~ really sucks, psychologically speaking.

I agree. I hate spawning north, because it is practically open season on your GC if both of the enemy teams decide to rush you. South and caves both have choke points. North has nothing.There is literally no node that spawns on the North side of the map that cannot be outflanked or double teamed, and RnG can actually make it worse. If north "Lucks out" and gets optimal node spawns in their area, they are only inviting both other GC's to gank your team. Worst case scenario invovles you getting pushed back to your spawn, and then fighting off a spawn camp.

I like this game mode, but SE needs to hire someone who knows something about PvP. This map design is a little too unbalanced.
