New Shatter map... something Feels off.

[Archeron]

Yes my account on this forum is new because I wanted to come here and complain about shatter changes and heard square enix reads this forum. But you can see i have probably played longer than you, or at least have more classes levelled, so please don't be delusional.

Who is strawmanning who now? You're assuming that my displayed character on my forums is my main, which it is not. I enjoy my privacy away from forum trolls. I have every job maxxed to 90, and I have dozens of alts with jobs up to lvl 90. Don't be condescending, the hypocrisy is rich with that statement.

I don't get salty on official forums about loosing to a premade - because they aren't that difficult to counter

Just going to outright dismiss that combatting premades isn't difficult? Out of touch, completely disregarding every point we've been making in this thread. Are you here to be serious? Or are you here just to farm reactions out of people?

All i am saying is that gaining battle high makes you destroy ice faster - and if your team gets BH5 and stops engaging in PVP - you have very high chance of winning. If you think otherwise, please enjoy your games and I frankly don't have anything to advise you on.

It's not thinking, its knowing that it does not help. I'll sound like a broken record, but let me remind you;

Every second you spend attacking another player, is a second you're not accruing points from a node. They're practically ALWAYS up in this game mode, with no downtime.

Is battle high helpful? Yes. Does farming Battle High V improve your odds of winning? No. The team that PvP's on this map, again, loses.

What helps win this map?
-Stealing enemies big ice nodes, by getting there first, putting a big dent in the ice's health pool, and pulling out before getting pinched.
-Spreading out to smash small nodes.
-Avoiding getting bogged down in PvP with the other teams, that can cost your team your big node.
-Accrue Battle high when its convient. It's not a priority, and prioritizing the farming of it in the long run is costly.

Do what you want, I don't really care if you disagree with my points. I have firsthand experience, and I've reviewed the statistics of matches that have been submitted by others, and my own matches. The data does not encourage people to fight. This map as a result is not fun, and I do not queue for it beyond getting my daily roulette.
