/facepalm god I hope the developers don't share your views, this pvp needs some class fixes ASAP.

I always prefer large scale over small scale, never been a fan of arenas in MMOs. I like the rng of crystal conflict as it makes games a bit unpredictable but you have to accept it if you're willing to put in the effort to climb. That being said, the simple fact that it's solo only makes me not play it. I just don't have fun playing this format solo.

It's fun right now because everything is op in it's own way (some more than others of course) but the inevitable obsession with balance will ruin it with time like it has in previous iterations and the entirety of pve.

I really don't understand these types of arguments. How would what you call "obsession with balance" ruin PvP? The only thing I can think about is that some people like unbalanced pvp so they can pick up whatever jobs are op at the moment and get more wins than they normally would. I'm not saying it's your case, but I would appreciate if you could elaborate.

Don't worry friend, I share your obsession. Some people enjoy having their class be powerful of course, so like you said that is where some of the posts come from, but I think as a whole we really do need to look into balancing, as we don't want new players to quit, or player interest to die down, because THAT is how you get year long queues.

PvP before patch 6.1 was "balanced" to the point where each Job within its designated role was essentially the same, only the actual numbers and some unsignificant lolgimmick to keep the burst in check was the difference, which made certain Jobs far more powerful than others.

And i dont think i dont need to remind you or anyone how well recieved old PvP was.


Instead of always blaming job design of which you not only seem to know little of, but also not provide any constructive feedback about, how about you try instead getting used to things first, if you do care so much about PvP since it made you post on these very Forums?

It needs to give 5s of immunity on use.

That or Guard needs to break CC on use.

Guard breaking CC would definitely be nice.

While I'm glad the PvP scene got revived and tons of people are having fun with it, me included with Crystalline Conflict. But the balance is a mess right now due the current "unga bunga mass cc burst" meta.

While it was expected being this chaotic since it's the first season with the mass overhaul ever, the good old Frontlines are reaching a point where they are just not fun.

Like, isn't fun see the whole alliance raid being wiped out so easily by spam of ranged ccs from WHM and SMN LBs before you had any chance to do anything. And I'm noticing that this extreme wide area burst meta + Battle High system, is almost impossible to have any chance of comeback compared to before. And, unlike Crystalline Conflict, the matches aren't being faster, if anything feels they are dragging out more lately.

Not only they need to improve DR being shared to all types of cc to avoid players being stunlocked till dead, but several jobs needs extra tweaks ASAP.
