Patch 3.5 Notes (Preliminary)

[Lexia]

I have seen screenshots of people setting their hotbars up like that already, just guess those people were more creative with what they had to work with so don't see the new hotbar qol change that noteworthy.

I set up my hotbars like that as well, but if anything, I DO want this feature, because it frees up my hotbars even more, since I no longer need to do things like, use an entire vertical hotbar, for just 1 ability to line up with my prior set. (and even then it doesnt line up well)

Now I can play with it, and get the most abilities, with the least hotbars used, AND set pet hotbar to something other than 21x1, which takes up way more space on my screen than id like (and i already have everything set to the smallest size possible, since im on a 768p screen, and its still too darn big.)

If no PvP chat means I don't have to deal with your "funny" commentary, then so it shall be.

To be fair, it would be more efficient to allow people to communicate with each other more easily in PvP but simply crack down on trash talking and poor sportsmanship.

The cynical part of me believes that the developers don't want that to happen, though, because it would cost money to hire people to investigate such things and if the players in question ended up getting banned then they'd be likely remove their subscriptions.

And yet, I read that they opened up chat in FrontLines. Seems to me they only restrict it in the Feast. Which is a toxic wasteland the likes of which has never been seen.

Sounds like you're someone who needs to have their chat disabled.

Also, Lewena. Your time has come.

Making an assumption based on a post. I am probably one of the nicer people you will see in pvp. I am not the type of guy that calls out others. I am also not the guy who yells or screams at other people for being useless. I never rocketed in science but I know for a fact that communication is an important part in pvp. Now they removed the possibility of people explaining others what to do if they are new. They removed direct communication. I am sorry but if you are failing to see the idiocy in removing this, then I am the one who is happy to not be teamed up with you but against you. /shrug

Highly doubt it. They said that new rule in place of random will be there. So instead they can just make like no 5* allowed. They can even limit to only lets say beast tribe cards or scion cards. It is guaranteed that she will still sneeze through your futile farm attempts.
What i realy want them is to expand the table to more then just 3x3, 5x5 would be hell of a fun. And you could only choose 5 cards for deck like now, other 8 cards would be randomly selected from your deck. That would make it more then just empty flowchart clicking as it is now.

They would just use existing rules like plus or fallen ace. No need to make more rules for the sake of artificial difficulty.

Then it wouldn't be Triple Triad anymore. Any changes you think would be good for the game are actually detrimental to it. Triple Triad is a fun minigame precisely because the matches are short. Expanding the field and/or having larger decks would unbalance things in such a way that it becomes a huge chore and waste of time in the end.

Competitive content sadly brings out the worst in a lot of people. There's various ways to mitigate that but...oh well.

Hopefully for this PvP based crossover event we don't actually have to win. That way having chat disabled won't have a major impact if you still walk away with the rewards even if you lose.
