I think the changes in this patch are very good! I love arenas and the changes done in general to the pvp. Definitely a step in the good direction.
I also think that the general balance changes you did to weapons, perks, stamina etc are very very good. I feel pvp like more balanced.
I know most will disagreed but I think that those are exactly the same ones that abuse of a specifically meta, exploits or combinations that even if legal breaks pvp.
Don’t hear this kind people. You did good changes for everyone.
Now light armor is OK. I did arenas and OPR with light armor and I still feel it very good. The stamina changes are great. Because the rolling was making light armor users impossible to catch. Now light armor is still strong but the rolling has to be used with more premeditation instead of just spamming it.
As an ex bow player I’m also happy for those that want and or still are playing bow. They deserve it.
The reality is that i cant get any of my pvp friends come play the game. They played before and i just cant convince them to try arenas with me. Its not what i actually want in the game. I hope that there will be some open world pvp return any time soon. But arenas would attract very limited amount of people who like pvp.
The patch is a step in a good direction. Finally something good beeing added to the game, both for the combat balance for meeles to reach ranged people easily, you no longer 123 on people who got rooted as they can time dodges through skills on roots, bow is fluid, healers no longer can tank with their face without using any brain cell.
TLDR: Finally something good was added to the game.
unfortunatelly ags takes 7 months to take a step in a good direction and to notice obvious op stuff and obvious underpowered stuff. But hey, at least we got something good now
