Thread: 2.25 Where are the Balance Changes/PvP Adjustments

PvP is now adjusted by having you get even more facerolled by people with good gear/abilities.

That is it for at least the next two months.

Hope you like endless queues...

actually that wont be it for 2 months due to fact next month when 2.28 comes out relic quest will continue so its actually only one month. then the month after that is 2.3

companion during queue is 2.3 they clearly said that in one of there videos or letters. new pvp which is frontlines is 2.3 also. roulette are suppose to be queued solo to fill in for roles which are needed and wont be ever tended for full party.
so stuff u are asking for comes in a future patch but guess u wouldnt know that cause u dont read letters or watch the videos.

Please, you don't have to be so rude. I was illustrating a point, I'm aware a few of those listed items in particular are coming with 2.3. Part of my insinuation was that they could've expedited a lot of those line-items given how little they put into 2.25 in terms of QoL at least.

You ask someone else not to be rude, but your initial post is exceptionally rude. Please be less of a hypocrite.

Second, you cannot really speak to what they could or could not have expedited for 2.25 as you don't have access to what they are currently working on. Judging from this post and your other post regarding Atma, you clearly do not read the Live Letters that have answers to all your gripes, so Kaya isn't wrong. Unless the source is a Live Letter or from the community team, I would not believe any changes are coming. People speculate quite a lot about things and are inaccurate most of the time.

Expressing disappointment & being rude are two very different things.

Please be more kind.

And yes, I can speak to what they could or could not have expedited for 2.25. It is a choice to expedite something, as it is a choice to favor alternative options in the process... they favored fancy new PvP gear over making Adjustments to PvP, that was a choice of theirs... they could've spent their resources elsewhere.

And I have read the Live Letters, I've read everything from the Devs, and any Official/Unofficial Announcements... along with all Famitsu+ translations I can get my hands on. So please, slander me more with a lie you're ignorant about.

Perhaps if you gave an example of how I "clearly do not read the Live Letters...", you'd appear credible, or I could respect you more. Rather than simply creating blanket statements to try to deface me.

Yet I have found 2 strong examples of how things you are whining about have been answered via Live Letters. Being a martyr all the time must be hard.

For the curious, this is how to fix the current massive gear gap (which just got larger) while maintaining a gear advantage to the high rank players (which, while I don't agree with, does seem to be the popular decision);

1. PvE gear, when equipped, is automatically replaced with the stats of the lowest tier of PvP equipment.
* this prevents "power overflow" where PvE gear becomes much more powerful than PvP gear and either warrants hasty implimentation of new PvP gear (like this) or PvE players dominating PvP with PvE gear.
* this makes all tiers of PvP gear useful
* this reduces the barrier of entry to newer players who will jump straight in with functional gear
* this potentially allows you to make PvP gear much weaker in PvE (it should not be best in slot for PvE at any point like some pieces were before 2.2) without risking PvE gear destroying PvP

2. The Morale stat is now normalised across all tiers of PvP gear
* This stat is FAR too powerful to have it increasing. By normalising this one stat, you will still provide high geared players with a significant in advantage in other stats, but not a stat which simultaneously boosts their damage and mitigation to absurd levels

Tentative 3. Do something about the skill system so that you acquire a few skills earlier. Or hell, just revamp it completely. Have all abilities unlocked from the start and just have the points serve as "capacity" - this prevents players being locked into one PvP role too, increasing fun and potential participation (as well as allowing more flexibility in playing with friends etc)
