Crystal Conflict is infuriating

[Lecru]

Most people who are angry over struggling to succeed in a PvP mode, who try to "teach" the group what to do... often have some of the worst ideas, in my experience.

Right. Because Coaches of teams have never lead to victory. Ever. In any sport. More over, communication isn't needed at all to be successful in any capacity. lol What did I even just read dude. You know what leads to people getting angry and frustrated? Queue'ing over and over into a mode where you can't communicate clear plans with your team, marking healers who can poly and lock down a player to die almost instantly while in that form, only to have them ignored because your team is attacking the role that takes the least amount of damage and does THE LEAST amount of damage. Yes. This will make people angry who know the basics of PvP constructs.

Not if there's a premade queue. Simple as that. but not being able to TEACH people who they should and shouldn't be attacking leads to an infuriating system for people who know what they are supposed to do. While the people who don't continue to hold their teams back. And since you can't outright tell people, they'll continue ot do so thinking they are doing things right when they aren't. Other games and the communication they allow leads to team play. This doesn't. It's a free for all masquerading as a team comp mode. Except for the instances where the enemy team is full of competent people playing against that ONE guy who knows what they should be doing.

ahahahahaha "teach"

You don't strike me as a competent coach, to be fair.

CC is definitely a team oriented thing and typically I find that the teams with ppl chasing their personal KDA are the ones that end up losing because they end up short handed in the actual team fight at the objective. The game's PvP design doesn't allow "hyper carrys" where 1 player carries their entire team to a win.

Like that one guy who chases somebody for ten years that they got to 20%. Even though they are retreating and the crystal isn't anywhere near them. Only to have somebody from the enemy team spawn back and meet up to kill them while they are trying to kill the low person lol

Welcome to FF XIV PvP. Or PvP in general. I've never had the best luck with PvP in any game that has it, but maybe that's just me.

I've taught plenty in other games and have regularly been Diamond in Rainbow Six Siege. Further, I pug literally every tier. And TEACH my groups what we need to be focusing on and get to Fight 3 regularly within the first week. But nobody asked what you thought about my teaching methods. Considering you have no idea what those are to begin with. The focus is the lack of information you can relay to your team in a TEAM BASED MODE. There's nothing that tells everybody what roles do what. And the vast majority queue in with no idea who they should go after. Instead just hitting the first thing they see while rolling their face across their keyboard. That doesn't help your team. At all. And leads to, again, people like me getting frustrated and upset because there's NO COMMUNICATION. Not to mention when you do mark somebody, there's always that guy who puts the 1 marker above the tank for no reason. These aren't okay methods for any system with an Elo. You know why LoL works with pings and such? Because there are multiple things going on in multiple lanes of the map. Or in the Jungle. But when your team wants to focus something, they say "Everyone go Dragon" or "Everyone push mid". To which everyone does.

Eh. I PvP'd before way back when you could communicate. But this system was supposed to be new and great. It just falls flat because of obvious flaws. But yeah, queue'ing up always feels like that Gif lol

I have kind of stopped playing PvP games mostly. I still like PvP, but only in small doses. I just end up getting stressed out, and infuriated.

I do it for the rewards, mostly. The totally-not-a-battle-pass was one such reward. Once I get my GNB jacket to go with my western glamour I might call it good for now as well.

"Kill the healer" is a hard stuck low tier way to play... anyways...

I'm just tired of seeing dragoon and samurai 1 shotting multiple people and single handedly deciding victories by themselves with a single button. it's really stupid and old already.

I think potencies of ultimate's need to be bought down and the potencies of basic attacks brought up in trade maybe to make things less crazy and more fun.

Also I would like to see matchmaking fixed so each team has the same roles on their team. Ideally with 1 tank and 1 healer on each team.
