Thread: Patch 7.1 Notes: PvP

Still think it's too early to be Chicken Little-ing. It was already mentioned that jobs' abilities are being tweaked if not outright reworked and changed in 7.1 so much so that some jobs might feel different, and that only PCT and VPR kits aren't being adjusted. What exactly that entails, we don't know outside of the copium and hopium that the more oppressive abilities and LBs are either no more or not nearly as potent.

What I do find amusing is that they've made RW adjustments that feel like they've essentially walked back the nerfs to mechs they made before Hidden Gorge launched. Which is great, because right now mechs can be basically shut-down by as little as a couple mobile DPS harassing them.

My broader concern with all this is that SQEX sees healthy queue times and participation in FL on most DCs and has concluded "this is fine." Hence they make changes to RW which is struggling for players, and fail to address the glaring problems in FL.

Yeah we don't need them more unkillable.

I'd certainly be happier with a more aggressive automatic system. No doubt players would find ways to circumvent it, and with vote-kicking being non-trivial that only leaves the cumbersome option of reporting such players after the end of the match.

Today we encountered the dreaded Samurai swarm. Someone shouted "What do we do?" Someone else came up with the brilliant counter "DON'T ATTACK ... ANYBODY!!" Everybody listened but we got slaughtered anyway. After the battle, we learned that nobody attacked anybody. Thank goodness. Whew.

Oops wrong thread XD

The weekends do tend to encourage this sort of thing.

Yeah we have a lot of potential bad decisions to fade.
