Thread: Patch 2.5 Preliminary Notes Discussion

They still failed to remove the pvp requirement where I must play with my grand company. When is square going to realize that the main reason people don't play much is because they can't play with friends easily? Everyone I've spoken to about this in my FC agrees that we would all play it more if this restriction was removed. With the new rules I was hopeful they would remove this limit, but have once again been dissapointed. Nothing was more fun than playing with all 8 people on my team at the fan fest. A shame I won't get that again.

Now they need to add it after wipes in trails and raids and we'll really be good to go.

Actually, all you have to do is change to the same GC, and then all the people who moved will have to do us level up their PVP rank all over again from Rank 0 so they can once again equip their i100/i110 PVP gear after a few hundred matches.

I'm kidding of course, I had hoped for a change in this regard as well.

Meh, I don't like the new dungeon gear for Dragoon, at least the WoD set looks good.

Wow, the new Frontlines looks pretty fun; lot of great QoL changes too. This patch looks great!

Why... Wouldn't they? Variety is a nice thing... Why would they remove one game mode when they add another?

I bet you can't queue for both at the same time.

Yep, the community will be splitted.
BUT, not only they removed 16v16v16, allowing 8v8v8 to pop more often, but they'll be adding a PvP Roulette for Frontlines.
If the rewards are good enough, it should bring more people into the PvP scene and maybe things will smooth themselves.
