PVP changes from livestream.

[Khalithar]

PVP specific blank hotbars.

9 actions per job + 2 selectable abilities + pvp limit break. No more PVE abilities in PVP at all. Combos auto-replace buttons as well.

3 passive abilities also.

Standardized stats and ability to participate at level 30.

Removal of directional requirements.

I wonder if they'll add exp to PVP now? Let people level through that.

Is now a 9 button whackamole.

Game set match.

It was nice knowing and playing with you all. What games are you guys moving to?

[BloodRubyXII]

Back to WoW. It's terrible, but if I'm gonna whack a mole there are better games for it.

Jesus christ even Yoshi looked bored spamming that combo button over and over.


E: Still going to play SB for the story though, because the game is actually gonna be sick.

You do realize that it now looks like a real competitive multiplayer and not the usual confusing mmo pvp garbage, right?

[Driavna]

Well, now they can balance classes around PvP without messing with PvE, it's a big (and a good) change. Sure, we have less skill but to me it's not a bad thing (most of the skills were very situational at best). Also, looks like people can join PvP much sooner (LvL 30), another good change.

I have to second this. It's going to make PVP a lot more approachable and less visually distracting.

I vaguely heard some button automatically changing to the next move in the combo? Did my ears deceive me?

That is correct. Your combos are pre-set and the button changes to the next attack in the combo. So you can do 1-1-1 instead of 1-2-3
