Dev request: PVP Primal summoning

[AzraelX]

IdeA: New PVP map – Primal Summoning
Area: Huge open world reskinned frontlines – different open world skins for each primal
Goal: There are several crystals scattered across the open world and everyone needs to retrieve them and take them back to their base. If player dies before reaching base to unload the crystals- players loses all their crystals. If a player successfully makes it to base to upload their crystals – it will charge an aether meter. When aether meter is fully charged – a primal will be summoned-( primal summoned depends on type of pvp you are in- ice type-shiva,etc…) Primal will them perform its ultimate attack and wipe the opposing team.

What do you guys think?
I think this is type of map will make pvp fun- we have all the tools – just no one wants to use them. The goal is to keep people playing /subbing longer with more options. This could be great addition to the game.

It sounds interesting but...it doesn't fit within the lore at all. Why would we summon primals when we specifically stop them because the act of summoning and sustaining them bleeds the land dry of aether?

Well there were talks about free company summoning... and lore should be out of PVP- it should be about fun first.

While I somewhat agree, Square will never abandon their lore. Square takes the lore in their games very seriously.

Besides, it doesn't have to be primal summoning. Make it a crystal-fueled weapon and you have the same thing in a lore-friendly manner.

It sounds like you're taking ideas from Heroes of the Storm.
Honestly at this point if you want a more rewarding competitive gameplay experience you should try that game instead.
PVP in this game just can't be taken seriously. You might want to check out the PVP forum as it has a bit more lively discussion there.
It is a fact that FFXIV is not a competitive game, and is not meant to be one. Sad, but true fact nonetheless.
