SgtDukes Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 I Absolutely hate this change. I do not do ranked. I am extremely casual and pug most of my WZ's As a pug for most of my matches I find that no one likes to heal. So when I am in a match and realize we have no heals I will switch to heal spec.. And the opposite, if for some miracle, we are loaded on heals, I will switch to dps. Like I said this is mainly for un ranked pug matches. Please re think this change. The field respec is THE ONLY thing I have spent my cartel coins on, and I would hate to have the value of that purchase completely wiped out.

ImpactHound Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 WoW makes you select a role before queueing into random BGs, and tries to match teams with a fair number of healers depending on which BG it is(10,15, 40). Hopefully a change that trickles into other games.
Kilora Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 With smart matchmaking in place to attempt to remove role disparities -- there is no reason to allow this. WZs will be better, for the most part, without the ability to respec in them.

By having you select your role for PVP they're trying to ensure the bolded line doesn't happen. Course, the reality is queues will take longer
ninjonxb Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 By having you select your role for PVP they're trying to ensure the bolded line doesn't happen. Course, the reality is queues will take longer I don't think they will take that much longer. My understanding (i could be wrong and I read it wrong) is that it will not be enforcing 1 tank, 1 heal, and 2 dps for each side. It will be forcing the same. So it could be 4 dps vs 4 dps. 4 heals vs 4 heals. Or any configuration.
TUXs Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 The positives that are created by this change outweigh the negatives. Please understand this. Agreed.
DarthOvertone Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 With smart matchmaking in place to attempt to remove role disparities -- there is no reason to allow this. This is really the reason and it makes sense. BW is actually implementing a solid Matchmaking System with the new Arenas. WZ Field Respec got in the way of this system working effectively. While I don't like the removal of the Field Respec in WZs and believe it is just a further dumbing down of the game, I understand why it was done. I would rather have a good WZ Queue Matchmaking System than the ability to Field Respec in WZs.
Andryah Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 The positives that are created by this change outweigh the negatives. Please understand this. /Agree. People need to stop thinking only about themselves, and give support to the wider benefits overall. There is too much selfishness in MMO players these days. This thread topic is a prime example IMO.

Arkerus Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 You'll get over it. You queue as a role so you play as that role.

There is too much selfishness in MMO players these days. This thread topic is a prime example IMO. You sir are Cpt negativety. While others posted reasonable responses, you show up with a bad attitude. How is it I'm selfish for respecing to heals when we are lacking or respeccing to dps when we are lacking? If the matchmaking system works without significant impact to queue times, then I will not have much of a problem. edit for spelling que --> queue Edited August 15, 2013 by SgtDukes
ELRunninW Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 If you have not noticed, people create threads complaining about almost anything. It is natural for people reading posts to get a bit upset about lack of understanding of the problem by the author. We see a lot of negativity in these forums, it becomes contagious.
