Death of pvp

[SorceressVal]

Why do I say pvp is crappy now? It's simple- were all limited to the exact same few pvp skills so instead of a test of working tactics and player skill it's a basic race to see who spams the same skill fastest no loadouts no options . Nobody can really tell if Thier better at it than the next person cuse Thier are no options to set up ur skills . It's boring and it doesn't make sense that since it's pvp the character magically forgets all the skills we leveled for and replaces them with a few pvp ones . It's like really ....

I would say it would be nice if we had more options to play around with when it comes to building our PvP move sets per job. I wouldn't even be against having more skills usable on the PvP field even though I do get what they're trying to do. They want to stick with one toolbar for the simplicity I guess & for the easier job balancing even though they're not doing so good with even that right now. If they want to stick to such a small # of action skills then they should decrease the GCD on the PvP grounds to allow for faster combat imo. They should also make tanks more useful such as a debuffer & party protector not just the tanky DPS that gives out stuns every so often. Also healers should not be as tanky as they are, well good healers anyways but I understand why they are because tanks don't do much to protect anyone but themselves.

True, but moving the payload makes up for it imo.

And next thing you'll say is that pvp in FF is like a MOBA, right?

If you ever played any MOBA then you know that FF PvP is nothing near a MOBA and never will be. They can try to copy it but they will not do it with success.

That is where you are wrong sir it has 6-7 buttons depending on hero. Also comparing overwatch to ffxiv pvp is just a disgusting thought. One is fun and the other is mashing a button and dealing with people out ranging you cause of server lag.

Sorry to burst your bubble but you actually have it completely opposite - normalized stats, hp, and abilities means everyone is on an even playing field. What separates us now is skill. I for one love the new PvP system. For instance, I no longer have to worry about being the best Dragoon I can be if I don't have a level 42 monk or crap like that. And I don't have to worry about my gear not being optimal and having to find obscure pieces from random dungeons. And I don't have to worry about having the latest HQ food and potions. All these are things that you give yourself an advantage with, that have nothing to do with skill, and they are now gone.

Make everyone the same = the winner outplayed you.

You can call that boring if you want or not like it, that's fine. But don't pretend like there's no skill involved.

Problems in PvP now are bots, win traders, and other things.
