2.28 PvP changes are here!

So... Now that name displays class, can we have Glamours working in PvP? Maybe just the helms if for some reason that's a no? Can toggle helms off anyway, might as well let us Glamour them...

[Sounders]

My favorite is the visible line for the cover. Somebody tried this on me earlier today, while I was kiting, and I immediately stopped running when I saw the cover line. This time, instead of healing myself, I started healing the PLD.

Fortunately you can still play 30s/40s without worrying about that.

Now if only they would store your configuration in action points based on your class so that you don't have to constantly change every time you change class just like what happens with hotbars.

All great changes, including seeing each players class instead of Fresh Meat.

The Target Dummies are great but I don't feel as though that take into consideration the real amount of damage you'll be producing because of Morale.

[Pibz]

I don't think so...
The equipment is still difficult to obtain (outrageous prices)
A pld or war have always to pay 10k GC coins to respec vita/force for switch pve/pvp (the same for scholar wishing to play Summon
er)

I think you misunderstood me, i'm saying that it is indeed hard and not very viable to play more than 1 class in lvl 50 pvp.

Oh and as for the costs of stats resets, seems they are considering to make it easier to reset:

I've always loved dyeing my gear to try to fool the opponent on my class, a battle also plays on the knowledge of opposing forces.
I'm sorry, this is putting "kill me first" on my head, I agree that FF players have a very very low level in pvp (compared to other MMO) but it's still the dumbest idea ever seen ! Put the name of the players directly, it would be more useful to a gameplay perspective...

PS : Go ladder 30/40 to train hard before join us in ladder 50 if you like nobrain/noobz update

You use that to your advantage and go for the ranged dps and profit.
easy since there is an influx of new players in pvp atm.
It's so much easier for newer players to be able to decide which target the group is talking about.

Only new or bad players chase healers for the whole/ half of the match. They obviously don't know how much a healer can kite, heal and run.

I did 7 matches today in the 50's que (queued 3 soloand 4 with a tank friend (duo). I am healer. I am modestly skilled and I won 6/7 rounds in pugs. One match lasted over 8 mins and ALL matches lasted longer than pre-patch. Even with the WHM sign above my head, it doesn't matter....they can't take me down easily ...nor are teams just outright zerging the other healer either. So it seems that while the patch is new, and only time will tell, simply having our jobs above our head does not = Kill me signs.

Considering how impossible it could be to tell who was who, especially in 30/40 cap where all the gear looks the same, I welcome the classes of players over their heads.

And yeah, the actual effect of this change is that people will focus down a ranged DPS instead of always zerging the healer. I've seen that quite a lot in matches today and it makes the fight more interesting then playing chase the healer around the arena until one or both team's healers are dead.

It's sorta to do with this thread, but I really like the try on feature...I never realized how beautiful some of the animal sets were (I overlooked the Monk chest for example...which is amazing)

The Warrior set is vile tho >.<
