Upcoming PvP changes mostly in 7.1

[ThaCa]

From the summary thread:

PvP Updates

Viper and Pictomancer will be added to PvP in 7.0
New PvP actions, action adjustments, and adjustments to existing PvP maps are currently planned for 7.1
Crystalline Conflict ranked matches will;; be in preseason between 7.0 and 7.1 (rankings will not be updated, but tiers and Crystal Credit will be affected by wins and losses

Do you think the new actions are just the addition of the new Jobs or do we get slight expansion to existing kits?

Really hoping they will finally take a look at potential rewards along the larger changes.

They probably have to or it’s just gonna break the game. Though I’m sure everything gonna have to be adjusted

The funniest thing about it was that they actually took the time to be like: "And that does it for the PvE job updates. Now let's talk about the PvP stuff: ...We're working on it... Here's a slide full of foregone conclusions that everybody expected.

Basically just a long, drawn-out way to say "No updates (outside of the 2 new jobs, duh) until 7.1"

Which we knew based on previous expansion cycles. Let's just hope they are really going to put some effort into improvements. They certainly have plenty of scope.

Which is why it was a foregone conclusion that everybody expected, thank you.

I have a question about the pre-season -- if your ranking won't be affected but tiers will, how does that NOT affect your ranking? Do you just hit a cap and stay there?

[Eastwall]

My only hope is that they cap aoe skills to 5 targets. If they don't do it at 7.1, l think l would give up any hope for frontline

There are no rankings but you can still queue into ranked and gain points. Your tier, ie. Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Crystal, can still rise, but since there are no rankings the leaderboard won't be counting you against other players, and you won't gain any rewards.

Can they really just reduce the damage reduction in FL it to damn high people barely die, it PvP but everyone feels like a Tank. Like it normal to die in PvP and that just not the case in FL lately.
