Planned Adjustments to PvP

[Eldoras]

There are just 2 problems that annoy me in PvP: intentional AFK'ers & the odd hop/warp issue where I see players every 5 seconds jump to a different part of the map. As a mage I don't see any PvP ability that gives a warp/jump ability that places you beyond my ability to do a jump attack or to actually make a leap at that distance. Of course seeing is believing so I'm sure it'll come out more in next days

All the bot has to do is activate duty finder and join queue. Been at least 3-4 people over the past week that I can remember BY NAME because they'e shown up in my queue that much. They've been reported multiple times - by me and the other people in just my matches.

I'm pretty sure your mistaken. But if you can remember these players, I would like you to back it up by giving us links to their load stone profiles. Like here, I found yours just thru your name.

Please offer some proof. Not wild accusations that bots are ruining PvP.

Sadly the new thing to be addressed would be smn doing this driveby debuff spam that decimates groups before they even get to move.

Heck while we're at it please consider a few more changes:

Tempered Will and Miasma don't work properly; With TW on it will remove the heavy effect for a moment then apply it again. Does miasma have a heavy reapplication every tic? is this a bug or a feature?

Enliven needs a starting recast time of 60 secs and a lv3 recast time of something usable like 40ish secs. We know the 300 sec stuff is streamlined for nearly every ability and doesn't take any actual field application into use, so please consider this.

Please also nerf 90k as we've been getting more of this since the last update.

If they're gonna nerf SMN for PVP, can my BRD get his stuff back for PVE? -_-

[Yunnie]

It really is that easy.

Idk... you might think the xbox isn't always on... but the cake is a lie! It actually is always on... its watching you right now... even if you don't own one yourself... its watching you... always... watching... you!!!

Currently laughing in the general direction of those who insisted summoners wouldn't be nerfed.

Same I can't wait to see how SE will adjust them

I'm surprised the MRD fotm isn't being looked at.

My solution to fix MRD would be to only allow people with their soul equipped to queue for wolve's den.

But yeah, the fact they didn't balance SMN by making their damage + pet damage = roughly the same damage as another class is extremely silly. Every time we have a SMN in our group they out-DPS everyone the majority of the time.

Damage output is not the problem with summoner, in fact a geared marauder with the right setup can easily outDPS a SMN. I am really suprised at the lack of OMG MRD OP crying on this forum. a well played maruader is seriously godly. ive gotten hit for nearly 2k damage in one s hot and dead in 3 hits by one once. even on SMN I can't do that, 3 dots > fester > wither > aetheric burst isn't quite enough to take most people down without lucky crits. While I am #1 DPS fairly often, whenever I see a Marauder in the party, they do some serious damage and usually outdamage me- And they aren't even classed as DPS.

The thing that makes SMN OP to most people is its utility functions. While I don't agree with all of it, SMN is still powerful in this regard, as smn can slow down runners, reduce healing on them drastically, bind them, blind them, etc. Battle raise is nice, but with it restoring only 10% of parameters, the healer has to be really fast or that guy is just going to drop again 2 seconds later, wasting the mana of the SMN and getting minimal benefit.

Miasma is almost certain to get a nerf. Both SMN and SCH have access to it and its equally effective from both. This alone would bring SMN close to balance. drastically reduce the healing debuff and reduce the heavy effect and then it's little more than just another DoT.

My solution to fix MRD would be to only allow people with their soul equipped to queue for wolve's den.

This isn't much of a solution because classes are supposed to be viable. They are already rarely used once jobs are available, the few cases where they are useful shouldn't be taken away.

"While we continue working on this issue, I would like to ask that until this issue is addressed, please try not to use the jump as an intentional dodge maneuver against melee attacks."

You really don't know the behavior of MMO players do you?

[Onyxys]

While we continue working on this issue, I would like to ask that until this issue is addressed, please try not to use the jump as an intentional dodge maneuver against melee attacks.

Aha ha))) Yoshi lives in another world, on another planet)))
