Are you enjoying this?

Pvp community seemed to enjoy the changes after awhile from what I saw and there's lots of new players mixing in, so I'd say it was a success. Classes have more game changing potential with lbs and while the simplified classes were disappointing at first they turned out to have enough nuance to keeps them from being boring.

Do I like it? Yes. I think there could be some changes to fix some of the more annoying stuff, but over all cc is a pretty fun mode. The direction the dev team took is reminiscent of overwatch with how it presents itself as team based but still allows for big personal game changing plays. Classes are fun, strategizing based on enemy team comps is rewarding, maps are simple yet intractable, the stun focus means you have to plan your actions, and the objective forces altercation both advantageous and detrimental. All in all, very solid revamp.

The new pvp is actually worse then before its only really active right now because it's fresh and new but it has so many flaws job balance is horrible.
Also there is zero reason to tryhard for ranked anymore with the top 100 rewards gone, you pretty much finish your series and your done for the season this can be done in a week.
Ranked rewards are super lacking who cares about some adventure plate background...

This sums up like half the reason I think it's a vast improvement, funny enough. The other half is split between 'healers are no longer invincible demigods that take perfect coordination to crack', 'matches don't overstay their welcome', and 'pretty much every class feels more enjoyable to play'. Balance certainly needs a little work here and there, but I'll take this mode with unfinished balance over a perfect form of the old mode.

you do get a fancy title for reaching a certain tier, and you only gotta do it once to get the title since it's the same each season

Did they confirm the plates and top 1/30/100 titles to be the same each season? It would be nice

[SeiyaSoiya]

no, the plates for top 100-31, top 30-2 and top 1 will change each season, as well as the title you get from it, since the plate shows a number, and the title refers to "the first" or "the initial" etc...
the plate frame kit and the title you get from reaching bronze/silver/gold/platinum/diamond/crystal seems to be the same every season since it has no seasonal numbers and the name of the title makes no reference to the number of the season

The "first" was used to tell the number 1 team of a season and not the actual number of the season at least in the Feast team seasons. For example "of the first pack" was just for the team that placed first in a team season so it might still be the same each time if they have kept the same style of naming

Grinding the few rewards I actually wanted (the orch rolls) was quick and easy enough so I'm not that down on it. As far as the actual gameplay balance goes? It's not perfect and there definitely needs some tweaking but for the most part they managed to accomplish what I personally wanted to see.

Always been a frontlines player, much more fun over there where you can outsmart 10 people at once, I much prefer the tactical approach of large scale in PvP. In that regard, the sheer variety of options we have access to now makes it feel fresh everyday the map changes. Speaking of which, many jobs feel more tailored towards specific maps, which I like.

I just still roll my eyes at the absurdity of some jobs with BH5, and I also roll my eyes at 15s long chains of CCs, but it happens both sides.

Crystal Conflict is basically arena-style PvP and is solo only so it was DoA to me. Still fun but I enjoy playing smaller scale with my brother only so it's not an option.

I can handle a few matches at a time but the lack of interaction or being able to play with friends (even in casual mode) is making me enjoy it less and less by the day and the last couple of days I've found myself just getting outright agitated after only a couple of games.
Today I was contemplating on playing a few matches of CC ranked but instead I fired up DMC HD collection and after realizing that I'm not really in the mood for DMC3 either I started replaying DMC2.

I literally chose to play DMC2 instead of FFXIV PVP. Contemplate on that for a while. I might give it a more serious try again when they at the very least give me an option to yell at my teammates to not have a 4-stack neatly on the crystal when the enemy WHM and DRG have LBs loaded. Nothings as frustrating as watching your whole team get insta deleted because they're not even trying to play around the most commonly abused stuff.
