/r/ffxivdiscussion: What are your hopes for PvP in Dawntrail?

[Swordsman]

Just to elaborate on the "more official tournaments" wish - I'd like to see more tournaments like the one we saw at Fan Festival 2023 in Las Vegas where there were cash prizes.


There needs to be stakes for winning/losing the tournament, so I see the cash prizes as a good incentive for promoting a competitive environment. I'm not saying we need the prize pool to be like the Dota 2 International Tournament which had a $40 million prize pool, but SE could probably have more than a single $22,500 grand prize.

We also had Esports commentators giving play-by-play narration of every match. It was great and I hope to see more events like these from SE.

Re-enable it for the free trial like they promised they would four years ago when they 'temporarily' disabled it.

I'd like that too. Seems like a pretty easy fix.

Fix the network latency and delay

This is a huge issue, although I doubt SE will expend any effort improving their netcode.
