DrewFromPhilly Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I'm actually kind of surprised people still take these seasons seriously. Like, you realize they've implemented this as artificial content? Why bother regularly making new warzones, or doing anything substantial in PVP at all, when you can keep people focused on the same current WZs indefinitely with a leaderboard they can easily reset periodically and the occasional carrot on a stick mount, armor, or title.

Give us our little happiness and stop poopoo-ing on it. 2 new WZ plus new season... its a start. As a Merc main it doesn't really affect me really im persona non grata but im glad for those who really enjoy ranked. ...besides i like carrots Edited April 4, 2016 by Floplag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dacri Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 though they were going to skip forward to s8 or s9 since s7 is going to be horrendous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floplag Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 No apparent balance pass so its basically Sorc Heals, Jugg Tanks and mix in DPS based on desired composition I guess. My Merc is still left out even if i wasnt a "****ter" but for the community overall im pleased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize that one of the main differences between PvP and PvE, besides the obvious, is that PvPers try to perfect content, while PvErs try to access it, then upgrade to new content. The fact that we even get one new wz or arena per expansion is plenty imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rishyoshi Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hoping to get in on the action this time. Total ranked noob here, did try one game in S6 but the abuse i got for that even after saying first time was ridiculous, hopefully this time it will be better. :rak_04: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebutthat Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 even with the ****** balance and current meta, i'm glad it's here. Regs are *********** beat. I'm sure most of us have min/maxed 10+ toons by now. Now at least we can grind something else out, regardless of how painstakingly awful and frustrating it is. Good luck, and may we reap reskinned ****** rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterFeign Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) I really wanted to play using my sin or mara, but looks like I'll be dusting off my heal sorc and skank tank! Also, score 1 for non-chalantly adding season 7 in, without any real announcement... #addingtothebalanceissue Edited April 4, 2016 by MasterFeign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, score 1 for non-chalantly adding season 7 in, without any real announcement... #addingtothebalanceissue Hatred sin is still reasonably viable in yolos, just super squishy. Mara is ok too, but it could certainly use some changes just because of the amount of roots and knockbacks you eat against teams that generally primarily consist of Sorcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teclado Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I really wanted to play using my sin or mara, but looks like I'll be dusting off my heal sorc and skank tank! I'm thinking that Fury will still be pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaedusz Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) My Merc is still left out even if i wasnt a "****ter" but for the community overall im pleased Why? I think the ranked queue will have barely any improvement. Especially now that PvP servers are completely dead. Also there are no carrots. I would understand if the rewards that ranked arena offers were good, like better PvP gear or something or reaaaaly amazing vanity stuff, but they are crap. Would be great if ranked arena unlocked unique animations for classes. THAT would make me really excited for the new arena season.

I've never PvP'd for the trinkets personally, most have been lackluster in my view. Whether its better or not really doesn't matter when any team with half a brain can shut me down and most teams cant be bothered to try to help me overcome it, they would rather just get a guy they dont have to worry about. I get it, its fine, it makes sense, it just is what it is. I may try some just to be the horses rear i am but i doubt ill get very far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellow-Canadian Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I think announcing season 7 via patch notes is a pathetic way of communicating. All the same congratulations to all sorc healers on your free 3k rating! Bioware will have ruined a ranked season with the worst PVP balance we have seen in the game so far.

Kaedusz Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) I've never PvP'd for the trinkets personally Well yes me too but PvP =/= ranked arena. Also the rewards i mentioned would be linked to rating ofc. Edited April 5, 2016 by Kaedusz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to poo-poo on their wonderful gift to us, but come on. No class adjustments, no acknowledgements of any in the future. No acknowledgement that we commented to them about "frequent small balance patches or less frequent with larger changes" when they supposedly asked this out of real concern for our opinion on the matter. I am just annoyed, I am sick of sorc healers being the only healer worth a ****, and how some dps classes are extinct in PVP because of their poor performance. I am sick of skank-tanking juggs and sins too. Just figured I would throw that into my bag of ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
