PVP changes from livestream.

[Guesswhat]

So basically SE is making a new game and permanently killing another. Nintendo doesn't support SMB for the NES anymore, but I'm at least able to play it...

Looks like 1 combo bursts. The potency is crazy. RIP skill. Can't we just get a "kill" button? Or a "win" button?
EDIT: or is the potency the actual damage? o_O

The way they are going makes it seem like participating in PvP won't necessarily make you a better FFXIV player, because it's a DIFFERENT GAME!

Or perhaps you could look at like they are adding X number of new classes/jobs??

All this is further proof that SE did not have PvP in mind -at all- while designing the battle system. I would naturally assume they would balance the system around PvP (treat enemies as dumbed down, actual players), not the other way. Reaction, strategy and reflexes takes a backseat. Learning patterns is pretty much all you need to do. I guess that is how you hypnotize the masses (...ehm... including me lol).


I agree the battle system needs a revamp, but not PvP exclusively. Hope it doesn't get too different. I'll give it a shot, but I'm afraid I wont be very happy.
