Patch 7.1 Notes: PvP

[Cidel]

Still think it's too early to be Chicken Little-ing. It was already mentioned that jobs' abilities are being tweaked if not outright reworked and changed in 7.1 so much so that some jobs might feel different, and that only PCT and VPR kits aren't being adjusted. What exactly that entails, we don't know outside of the copium and hopium that the more oppressive abilities and LBs are either no more or not nearly as potent.

What I do find amusing is that they've made RW adjustments that feel like they've essentially walked back the nerfs to mechs they made before Hidden Gorge launched. Which is great, because right now mechs can be basically shut-down by as little as a couple mobile DPS harassing them.

My broader concern with all this is that SQEX sees healthy queue times and participation in FL on most DCs and has concluded "this is fine." Hence they make changes to RW which is struggling for players, and fail to address the glaring problems in FL.

Honestly I think I'm going to be more annoyed if we get some small and likely apparently arbitrary changes to damage modifications. But yeah, you're absolutely correct.

If they didn't release these notes on Shatter day I wouldn't have all this time to bleat about them.

If anything they have to adjust things, since HP pools are going up. No way they can keep melees on that level of innate DR, they're already unkillable as it is.

Yeah we don't need them more unkillable.

Is there a way for the devs to add a 2 minute kick timer for offline players? I get that if you're in game and not moving, the game kicks you after a minute or two, but it takes 5 minutes of the game to vote a player out and that's already a 1/4 of the game.

I'd certainly be happier with a more aggressive automatic system. No doubt players would find ways to circumvent it, and with vote-kicking being non-trivial that only leaves the cumbersome option of reporting such players after the end of the match.

Today we encountered the dreaded Samurai swarm. Someone shouted "What do we do?" Someone else came up with the brilliant counter "DON'T ATTACK ... ANYBODY!!" Everybody listened but we got slaughtered anyway. After the battle, we learned that nobody attacked anybody. Thank goodness. Whew.

Oops wrong thread XD

The weekends do tend to encourage this sort of thing.

That's my concern, that they make a change that unintentionally does wonders for Frontlines but because it messes with something in Crystaline Conflict, they change it right back, lol.

Yeah we have a lot of potential bad decisions to fade.

PCT and VPR will be adjusted. They just said they won’t get any new skills added seeing as they are new jobs but they will get adjustments. They won’t send those 2 jobs into ranked CC as they are. No one will play them because they are absolutely terrible. PCT more so than VPR, but we will see some major adjustments to both jobs for PvP.
