Amazing PvP changes!

[Geologo]

Honestly guys all this hate about rank removal... seems strange to me cause it wont' impact on any mechanics and it is just a free gift to the ones that doesn't pvp so much.
It's just a vanity and you had the "exclusive" on it for more thant 3 month, you will enven get the super-exclusive gear with diamond rank for the one that really like to play a lot of pvp and has a good output...

I hated a lot more the 2.1 and so on when people just trading victories to get high rank or sometimes you had to face random people in pvp that wasn't interested at all on the match result :/

TBH, I'd care more if all the new gear wasn't so ugly.

Enjoy the old gear, I guess. Glad you learned to sit and wait and be patient for 8 months instead of whining petulantly on the forums about it.

The OP did whine; check the threads

SE needs to use their brain, this issue could have been so easily obviously avoided. Just make pvp synced modes so new players can get into pvp and rank up and then have at least one unsynced BG and one unsynced Arena. I will never understand why they made EVERY SINGLE MODE synced. That is the dumbest decision they could have possibly thought up.

Because the queue times would grow a lot.

Its this bad because they refuse to remove GC ranks when we all know thats the real problem -_-

That and the NA data centers should be merged for PVP cases.

Honestly, SE needs to do a better job of balancing out its rewards in order to give incentive to players actually interested in pvp without drawing in an excess of those clearly just there for the glamour/tome grab.

Im worried this will be an issue with the feast too. We'll likely see a lot of players just looking for a carry and a shot at the fenrir pup minion or whatever... that and that "ranked" anything thus far in the game has been dominated by cheaters, win traders and exploiters. Suppose that's a different topic tho.

I suggested this a long time ago. But that's a moot point now that SE seems to be focused on Feast which should have much better queues better cause cause it doesn't have GC restrictions.

We've been waiting for DC merges since PvP launched to be honest. It's a shame that they had to split them up in the first place - wish that they had a way to make it so that only PVE was split.

It's part of the problem. There really were no incentives for pvp-by which I mean seal rock-other than obtaining ranks for wolf mark gear. They never fully supported Frontlines the way they will support Feast.

So, on that note I definitely understand why Februs and others are upset by the removal of rank restrictions on gear.

Also I'm still rather disappointed that pvp balance will probably be centered around Feast-some changes for the health of Feast will probably end up hurting Frontlines. Case in point the nerf to tank dps. Probably needed for pve and feast, but 2k fell cleaves makes me want to cry.

I hope Feast will be fun, because zero dps,zero mobility, zero ways of snaring enemies in seal rock is mind numbing.
