Can PVP ever be good in this game?

[drtasteyummy]

I can barely imagine that it's ever gonna be good.

- The jobs are unbalanced to a level only an absolute noob would design
- The server tickrate is beyond unbearable
- The matchmaking is unbalanced
- The maps are designed by someone without pvp knowledge
- The map objective is the worst possible implementation

There is so much wrong with CConflict alone, like sure the turd has a nice form but it's a turd nonetheless.

The server tick rate is the worst part. I'm tired of popping guard at half health and then watching it drop to 10% because the server took a second to register I had guard up.

Under the condition everyone wants to win a match A vs B vs C is actually better than A vs B. In many games battlegrounds with just 2 sides failed because it was impossible to balance the matchmaking. Beside there aren't many MMO out there with pvp especially mass pvp.

Give me the Aion client with skill set of FF14 before 6.1...

Crystalline Conflict is already good. It would be better with more responsive servers and a bunch of Riot-level ISP wheeling and dealing, yes, but that's not a prerequisite to a fun game. As long as they keep tweaking balance outliers and banning cheaters, I'll be content.

I'm playing MMOs since they exist and I played pretty much all of them. I could have made a huge list with this and that.

Matchmaking is a core problem of any 2-sided game. Factions only increase that problem. However my point still stands that for
balancing it doesn't matter how many sides you have.

Funny that you mention the release because I doubt you played 1.0 in Korea like I did. At the beginning many things were broken.
From version 2.7 up to 5.x the classes were pretty balanced. After that the game went downhill. I also still believe that the fluent
combat system was one of the best that has existed.

As much as there are ppl that like pvp in this or that game as many you find they dislike it. It's an endless discussion.

Another thing is that you only see small scale group pvp. There 3-sides really don't make much sense. However so more and more
players you put on the field the approach of having 3 sides isn't that wrong.

I mean, I probably shouldn't have replied to you in the first place after you tried to argue that 1v1v1 gives an individual player a higher chance of winning than 1v1, but I'm going to bow out of this discussion now, it's honestly like talking to a wall. Have a good one.

Where the heck did I ever mention something about individual players and the chance of winning?
