Okay...so the minion PvP...is getting RANKING!? And regular PvP isn't? What the HELL!

"there is no incentive to PvP right now besides glamours/cap esos"

Well technically there is incentive that you just noted, so it's a bit improper to say there is no incentive cause there clearly is and people are clearly doing it and gaining some reward out of it.

A PvE reward for PvP content?

Sure, its a good way to introduce people to PvP, but now we need the next step. Lords of Verminion will have different tiers of battles, from Training, Tutorial, Battle, Challenge, and finally Tournament. A system like this that played into current PvP systems would be a dream come true!

During the live letter I watched a fan translation alongside it that said the ranking system would also be used in the updated Wolves Den. It makes sense, if their planning on revamping Wolves Den during a later patch to hold off on adding in the rank system until then.

there are pvp rankings on the Lodestone....

there are pvp rankings on the Lodestone....

Which is basically your win to lose ratio of non-ranking PvP meaning you can't have a premade and fight another team with the same rating. Those really mean nothing what I'm trying to draw attention to are things we are missing in PvP such as: rated battlegrounds, rated arenas, tournaments, and rewards based on your team ratings (example you start out at 0 but through the season you have 30 wins and 5 losses putting you at a rating of 1800.) These are numbers i'm pulling out of my behind but something like this rather then % of games you have won which are very vague in a 1v1v1.

good, because Wolves Den is a catastrophe that's "abused" more than its "used" via "win-trade."

For there to be a ranking system behind PvP, there needs to be people to monitor and administrate it. Otherwise its just going to be abused just like it is now.

Furthermore PvP balancing is in life-support mode. With the biggest changes from the original design being, elimination of cleric stance and Feign or missed LB usage penalty which happened a year ago.

I won't touch on the OP because we already knew this from the last live letter, so yeah. But..

/shrug, doesn't bother me, I've no interest in PvP.

WHY are you commenting then? Doesn't interest you? Move on, i don't care about all those "Can i has more minions" threads and i don't go in there saying that.

Do you people realize that PvP is one the biggest niches in the MMO genre? That there are a lot of MMO fans that don't come/stick to this game because it doesn't have a PvP scene worth noting? That if we get more of those players there'll be more money coming in for them to develop all kinds of content (and pvp content maintenance doesn't have nearly the cost of pumping more pve content each patch) ?

So yeah, why'd you come here to try and tell the dev team there's no interest in this?! Unless you actually believe people discussing this are you looking to read how you /shrug at the kind content we like, do you also go to football discussions on the internet to say "/shrug i don't care about football"

Sorry for the rant, but this kind of "This is FF, don't expect pvp lel" or "IDC about pvp so lelel" posts really annoy me.

I have more interest in the Lord of Verminion PVP than the regular PVP . It looks a lot more fun, plus I like strategy games ^^. I imagine myself spending a lot of time at the Gold Saucer when 3.1 comes out.

Anyway OP, perhaps the devs are using this as a practice run to see how to make a ranking system for the regular PVP?

[Felis]

What type of ranking system we can expect ^^

[AsahinaMyLove]

Ranking = For Ego boosters!

*snipped img because no need to repost*

This is completely off topic but - oh wow, is that from 1.x? Why don't we have this somewhere in the game right now?! I'd love some dungeon challenge mode (or even another kind of pve content) that'd reward you for how well you did. Please gief SE *_*
