Near Future Changes for PvP

[Deme]

duo queue for 4v4 feast please just to make it less RNG based if you get a good team or not, and it would make it more viable communication wise as the current quick chat options there aren't really the best.

i know some people have concerns that a duo queue would encourage some win-traders, but wintrading happens anyway currently. all duo queue would bring is abit more skill based pvp rather than hoping you get lucky with random team mates

We have few more updates to share regarding the plans for PvP moving forward.

Is it possible we could get some updates regarding Frontline? Like, the rotation system that Yoshi-P talked about in interviews before Stormblood launched. On Chaos Data Center, it's pretty much impossible to get a Secure or Seize match going. The Field Commander armor set is currently out of reach.

Greetings,

We have few more updates to share regarding the plans for PvP moving forward.

I think we have a different definition of "update". Everything you just said has already been discussed.

We know balance changes are coming (when? Who knows. The 3.21 Feast changes in season 1 came way faster than now for some reason)

We know a new "large pvp mode" is coming and we know we will get cross server customs. We have known this for months.

What is SE going to do about the huge botting problem?

What is SE going to do about the people who have been blatantly win trading since season 1?

What's the update on The Feast tournaments being officially supported by SE?

What is the official rationale for supporting a solo queue ladder instead of a premade party ladder, in a game mode that demands coordinated team play, while also removing the basic tools for player communication?

If we're posting changes we'd like to see for our jobs...

Make Iaijutsu cast faster(1s vs 1.30) , there's no reason why Mnk/Drg/Nin can do instant bursts(between 4-8k+with Midare being 3.5k) and Samurai has to hope the target doesn't walk too far or go behind a tree/wall.

Also change Meikyou to add 5 Kenki on top of the 10 you get from the finishers to actually make it worth 250 TP. Otherwise it's better to use meikyou extremely sparingly.

Umm, why should RDM be the only ranged job to get more HP? BLM, SMN, BRD and MCH all have the same HP as RDM.

Because it's the only ranged job with melee combo.

Why is the Dev sharing info we already knew instead of giving us new info. I agree with Kuso.

Recently, there is a short interview about PvP at Gamescon

Yoshida said that,

4.06a will have nerf/buff/tweak towards some class.

4.1 will be releasing 24vs24 new PvP mode.

4.2 will be releasing "Fixed Ranked Party" which allow each team to have 4~6 players in a team.
Regarding the fixed team, if i remember correctly, yoshida said that we will be required to register our team through website. I think he said we will be matched against other people using the website??? as our medium to match making. Yoshida also said that he probably will allow each of every DC "top" team to be able to fight against other DC in the near future.

I think the return of Feast Ranked Party is awesome~ but the restriction to be binded in a team is kinda "meh~"
However this will allow SE to keep track win traders easily in a way.


PS: Yoshida also said that he wanted to make pvp to allow lvl 1 player to join in the future :^)

4.2 -- interesting! Kind of like statics for PVE. I wonder if one person can be multiple roles across multiple teams. Otherwise it's gonna be like old-school playground games. I choose Koltik and Rum! lol

That FRP sounds more like traditional arenas where you can change some team members, now add old Fold on top of that and we could actually have proper old school arenas in here(i still don't get it why they made new mode instead tweaking Fold lil bit).

Because Soloq doesn't really work in a last-man-standing type arena mode.
