Naethion Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Also it seems that they will be reworking the DR on Expertise, which means maybe no more PvE/PvP gear mixing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryBuddhist Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Yes, I'm watching the summit as we speak. why don't you go watch yourself Mr. Skeptical. Cause previous annoncements were less than true in the past from this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naethion Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 HE had a Slide show that specifically said "8-man Premades". Even BW wouldn't be stupid enough to not do 8-man. like I said, its free to watch go check it out for yourself while they are still talking about PVP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxil Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) I don't believe it. I will when it is in the notes close to release. If we think back, there has been a lot has been said that didn't come to fruition or was released opposite of how he stated. Also it's obviously clear it will be released with only 4-man queues, and 8 men might come later. Also half of what is being said at the GS smells like BS anyway with things that "might" come way way down the line. This entire event has just been a grab to try to keep some subs. While some of it sounds nice there's nothing to back it up, half of it is vague and the other half is months down the line. The only thing he sounds half way certain about is what is coming in the next update, i.e. ready to go next patch downtime. If you get wide eyed at a slide show I have a bridge to sell ya.

EternalFinality Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 People will never be happy.... You know he said they weren't going to do cross server warzones, right? And then later confirmed they were working on cross server warzones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torleen Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 All I am worried about is I don't want to see it become the new "Arena Gear". As they are saying the absolute best gear will come from these ranked WZs. I think they should stick to vanity enhancements, which they also said they are doing so I am a little confused as to what the final end game of that is. Because if the only way to get the best gear is being lucky enough to have a good team to PVP with then we run back into the problem Arena caused in WoW. Those people in turn just go and squish people in WZs who cannot find partners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRINnBARRETT Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I am pleased to hear this. I bet many of the casuals will be up in arms over it though. Same paradigm as RIFT probably. Solo queue, premade queue - both take you to the same place (speculative). If they separate the warzones (premade against premade, solo against solo), then they will have done it right. GW2 has it right: why mix two different play styles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendergibson Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Did Gabe actually say for 1.2 patch? I heard that this was NOT for 1.2 patch, but "in the future". So if they dont launch this in 1.2, it will be a lot of complaints coming......and a lot of sub cancels too....a lot of people are waiting for rated wz's, and who would play as 4-man team + 4 randoms in rated pvp...? It would suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if I have to pug against 8 mans, I'm gone. There is no matchmaking system in the world that can fix the imbalance that will cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
