I miss the old PvP.

Nice vids!

Everytime Snave uploads new clips it makes me want to play SWTOR again just for PvP(maybe i do at some point), Huttball was so awesome and this new Ancient Hypergate that was not there when i played it looks pretty damn cool too as it has kinda weird win condition, its something like get both capture points if possible as they acts as point multiplier then frag some kills that determines points combined with capture points you get at the end of each round and before round timer ends get inside mid as there is zone wide instant wipe, rinse and repeat for few rounds and team with most points wins.

Also lol@filthy frank edit as its sooooo easy to relate for that feeling >_<

I have to admit, the harder part of making PvP videos now is making this 4.0 PvP look interesting.

Thats why i do no FFXIV PvP Vids anymore XD I laughed so hard!

I had to switch up my format a bit, for a number of reasons. Seemingly triggered Reddit showing off "winning against less skilled players" (let's ignore that I was still fairly "new" on the circuit among the old community back in 3.x), and when I started teaching other people how to PvP, I saw the opportunity to offer a more realistic take on what it's like to be a "top" PvPer. There are a LOT of failures and defeats behind all those highlights, and after doing enough highlights, I decided I'd rather opt to entertain and teach, if not inspire through my works. If it means "highlighting" a moment of carelessness, or my signature reckless bravado going very right/very wrong, I don't mind it at all.

Still. . . if I could have these acrobatic Heated shots with the old wham-bam MCH burst, THAT would be impressive to see!

A Man (or women) can dream. The new changes with 4.2 didnt bring my hope back for better times.

Good Job Square Enix you really out did yourselves, I stopped playing due to you ruining summoner for me and I decided to come back to give the game another try and to do the new content after 2 patches and I tried to play pvp and found out how brainless and boring you have made it, absolutely disgusted how simplified you've made PVP, going to really miss the old PVP and probably wont renew my subscription after doing the new content, this game is becoming worse and worse.

Hey, just getting back into the game here. I was excited to do the pvp because the last time I played they only had 4v4 arena style. However, I queue'd in and was caught off guard by the empty bars. I figured it out and made it through that first game having no idea what was going on with abilities.

I'm coming from a gladiator background in wow where it takes weeks to hone your abilities and even then you still learn new things as you play the class.

I just want to say that it literally took me maybe 2 hours to master the "new"(New to me?) setup and that's with 30 minutes of queue time. Pvp in this game has a lot of potential but who's idea was it to murder all my keybinds? The only skill left in pvp it seems is managing people and setting kill targets. Seems like the skill of the individual was just thrown out the window.

Also, why are there bots everywhere? Bots will kill pvp. Blizzard let it continue for a long time and the bots wrecked their sub and pvp numbers.

This is pretty good question, only thing i can think of that SE kinda misunderstood when some players moaned about button bloat, the issue never really was the amount of abilities but the hotbars. What i mean is that every time you swapped between pve and pvp you had to rearrange some of skills that were not needed in pvp while making room for those few pvp-only abilities, ironically they actually fixed that in this new revamp by having a automatic pvp hotbar swap when entering pvp area. I think that is what most wanted myself included but i never wanted to lose those abilities, i dunno maybe i am wrong and some people really hated to have around 30 different abilities on their arsenal.

But to get real answer you really should ask this from YP himself only he can give it, maybe someone can ask this on fanfest.

The "too many buttons" issue would've been easily handled by the Stormblood job adjustments alone (as they pruned or reworked lesser-used/redundant/unnecessary skills), but they decided to double down on the skill pruning and force fit each job into 9 buttons and homogenize the PvP skills to be one size fits all, as opposed to a few universal skills, then skills specific to each job.

This is when I ironically point out that they homogenized and force fit each job into 9 buttons in PvP at a time they were - in their own words - attempting to make each job feel different from each other.

Oh my this has to be a fate or something https://youtu.be/M-D-wW_Sdvc?t=50m2s is it me or does that sound really familiar? :O

3.x was an unbalanced clusterfuck albeit fun. It was mainly all about solo carrying or just simply soloing anyone if you were good enough. That type of solo-type play where you can 1v7 in feast and win is not what MMORPG PvP is supposed to be about. This new revamp of PvP is better because it is 100% team based now, sorry you can't solo carry and stroke your ego. On the surface, Feast in general is amazing as a concept, the only real negatives is the medal system and now recently the terrible new map. I'm pretty sure the main reason why you all hate SB PvP is because of how team based it is, that your teammates are probably awful, because of having awful teammates that play like 3.x you will never get kills and never win. Granted team based PvP is probably not your guys' cup of tea, as well as the ability prunes.
