Thanks so much for setting that straight for us bra! Think of what would of happened if you weren't here to enlighten us with your wisdom. Oh and I'll be sure to start discussing game features because you just told me to. Because PvP and PvE aren't features of the game....
Exactly this and what Draegan has been saying. The PVP aspects of this game are cool, don't get me wrong. But if anything they are to add variety to the game. Especially Warplots. Something ultra-cool to sink a guilds resources (platinum) into, have some fun and fight mudflation. The use of skillshots and unique animations for all skills per class are a step in the right direction as far as meaningful PVP goes. But take it with a grain of salt and enjoy the variety it offers.
The surgical balancing Blizzard pursues with their PVP is exactly what sucks all the fun out of it.
Agreed. It's much easier though for people to remain ignorant and not google shit and just drop by threads and repeat the same shit that they do in every thread.
I just got here :| I'd be happy either way on the pvp and my telegraph concerns were assuaged!
Actually my post was assholish and wasn't directed towards you. Just don't understand why people spend so much time in threads of games they have no desire to play or like. It's the same bitter ass argument over and over. My apologies.
I figured the personalities with etched-in-stone viewpoints were part of what made FOH boards FOH boards? After talking to the same people for so many years you realize you probably already know their opinions (and often their input) before it's posted. The rest is just humor.
Its alot easier to make a soft rock-paper-scissors balance system in RTS games though. Applying SC2 balancing to the MMO sphere gives you auto-wins and auto-loss. Regardless, he didnt say he wants auto-wins or to be the OP class, he said the game is less fun if everything is watered down into a perfectly balanced, bland soup that tastes like nothing. And that's what most MMO PvP that was "balanced" would turn. I say would because they are never was balanced proper to begin with. Now maybe you can pull examples out of the air from the more recent years when every class in WoW or any other MMO since was balanced in several PvP scenarios at the same time (arena, small bg, big bg, not OP while holding a point, unstoppable runner etc). I just know when I played there was always a class or two that stood above the rest in too many of those scenarios and and one or two that were the laughing stock of the other classes. And these balance attempts that didnt actually work out came at the price of interesting pve abilities.
Sure! Each one of their videos they're barely damaging the enemies or are completely rolling the enemies. I've seen no group or pvp gameplay showcased. Perhaps they're just not showing us the videos of these things but I'd speculate that it's because they're not sure how they want characters to be in relation to each other and that they don't have the numbers close to finalized. Also, there are 2 more classes still yet to be revealed which may make showing group content harder, who knows. I'm sure it's being tested internally.
Newp, probably just haven't done enough research. I've only done minimal searching. I'd be interested in some group gameplay or group pvp videos if you have links to any.
There are no group or pvp video right now.
