New PVP mode major let down...

[Hammerhorn]

I enjoy the concept they are goin for here BUT, not being able to play PvP with my wife and friends is the stupidest anti-MMO crap they have thrown at us yet. My other huge gripe is the rounds are sooooo short you don’t have time to really get into them. Was this designed for players with the attention span of a squirrel? If they are gonna be this short at least make em the best of 3 rounds. Seriously 2 steps forward 3 steps back.

It's beyond bad IMO

Not only do they make it solo queue only, which is painful, but it's not role locked. Going against a team with 2 tanks and a healer while you have 5 dps? GG's, it's already over. AND they took away some of the quick chat options to get your team on the same page before the round start to actually kill the healer.

Like, just remove ranked, because there is nothing competitive or redeeming about that mode if you wont let teams communicate or have a comp that can realistically compete.

I absolutely agree that it's silly that you can't queue with friends into this new mode. I think it's one of the worst decisions they could've made when it comes to PvP, and the most anti-MMO move I've seen this game ever do.

Restricted chat, no party comp, can't play with friends, this mode is going to be dead in the water in less than a year because it doesn't offer anything tangible as multiplayer content.

There are certain things that could, and should, be addressed, but I think it's fun enough for what it is. I'm just glad the grind to lvl 25 isn't going to be bad at all. Tanks certainly appear to be at a significant advantage though.

I honestly wanted to try it out with friends today, but it sucks not being able to queue in as a party. I don’t really like solo PvP; when I did it in HW it was always with friends because it was more fun that way. I’m hoping they change this.

Yep, mentioned it above, 2 tanks and 1 healer vs. any other comp is an auto win. No role lock is amazing dumb and whoever thought it was a good idea should feel bad about their choices

Even one tank is a force of nature all by themselves. lol GNB does extremely well in there, and I've heard good things about WAR as well. But WAR is OP by default so that's hardly surprising.

another delusional by SE, the mode had big potential sadly, they did a hard work but its wasted.

Yeah. I get what they were going for with the queue restrictions, but there is also a major down side to that, which is not being able to do stuff with friends. In an MMO. Backwards logic, really. For me it is fine. I largely do what I can alone, but I group up with others when the need arises. But this is definitely an anti-social game mode and it probably shouldn't be like that for those who want to hang out with friends.

I find it sad you cannot even talk to the people you're partied with.

Yet I can make them stare at a disturbing picture of my character at the start of every match.
