SE please reconsider dev time spent on player vs player

[NessaWyvern]

=_= Op.... Do you realize that the reason why hardly anybody does pvp is because there's hardly any pvp content? And that most of the pvp content is already recycled? And what's there is baaaaad and needs fixing? And that there is far more rewards for pve than pvp? And that classes are unbalanced in pvp which turns people off pvp? And that you pve'ers get sooo many maps and we get 4-5 maps? And that we can't battle it out with our friends like pve'ers can? and that people complain on the forums when pvp'ers finally get tossed a gnawed up bone, while the pve'ers have been feasting since day one? ("The Feast" feels like table scraps, in that it's leftovers from the wolves den, and has a bunch of stuff that is scrap. like no rated 8v8, and the fact that you can't even form a party of 8 for 8v8)

Yeah nah. They have been giving the majority the majority of stuff already. And the pvp minority only gets smaller and smaller as a result.

If you want a game to survive long term, you need to develop content beyond the established core. Otherwise, you run the risk of people eventually getting bored. PvP's lack of popularity has largely been due to Wolves Dens' poor implementation, which the devs acknowledged happened because none have much experience with it. The Feast's looks to improve on everything. Maybe give it a try before complaining?

I'm curious to know where SE ever mentioned that they want PvP to be an E-Sport.

The only change for PVP required is to allow the Duty Finder for PvP to cover all data centers for a particular region.

By this I mean that all JP data centers would act as 1 for PvP Duty Finder, all NA data centers would act as 1 for PvP DF, and Europe would be screwed....er... No, but seriously, Europe must be included too, so which ever of JP or NA has lower latency from Europe would include the European data center - most likely this would put them back with NA for PvP DF.

Actually, it would be beneficial for 24-man raids to get similar treatment, the LoA, ST and WoD have pretty well horrible Q times and would benefit from a wider selection of potential players. Though they might have to make some adjustments to protect players against lag.

I'd suggest that any full-party or alliance content be considered for such treatment as the number of players Qing for this type of older full-party or alliance content wains.

Europe can stand by itself. Zodiark the smallest European server is 2 or 3 of the NA/JP smallest servers united. Zodiark would be medium server in NA or JP.

I wasn't commenting on or implying anything about the relative size of worlds. If there is a problem with lack of participants in certain content through DF, then the obvious answer is to draw from a wider source of participants. Duty Finder was modified way back to only work within a data center (or rather a group of servers). If not enough people are using DF to enter specific content, then widening the scope seems like an idea - regardless of the relative size (or lack there of) of any given server.

I play on arguably one of the smallest servers, everyone I know seems to do at least a bit of pvp even though their main focus is on pve. I'm sure plenty of people enjoy pvp and I sincerely doubt developing a few pvp modes is the cause for the delay. Isn't it a bit selfish to assume because you don't like something that no time should be invested in it by others?

The pvp queues are slow because they're being bottlenecked by the grand company thing, right?

Frontline queues are slow because of GC queuing imbalances (72 people could be queuing, but if its 8 Adders 24 Flames and 40 Maelstrom only a single 24 man match will be happening) and nothing to correct those imbalances (the ability to queue mercenary and a GC in need bonus would benefit things).

PvP gears shouldn't get their rank requirements removed. And the weapons need some unique glowing effect. The i180 and i205 sets were terrible.
