Every pvp content in the game is stale. It has been a year of the exact same OPR map. Only one single little arena map. Some of us have 1000 hours spent inside of these 2 maps. World PvP is completely dead. And wars aren’t everyones cup of tea.
We need new PvP content soon… I log on now and I get bored halfway through an OPR match. Without PvP there is no reason for me to play the game. The PvE activities are only side-activities for me and when the PvP is this unfullfilling and boring I dont see any reason to grind the PvE either.
Is there any ETA or are you atleast AWARE of the situation of how bad the state of pvp is right now? We need new pvp content asap. You keep releasing PvE content time and time again without even touching the PvP.
How long would it take to create a new arena map or a new OPR map? I mess around alot in unreal engine and make maps all the time. I could create a map like OPR in a single day as an amateur. Come on! We need new pvp content.
You have 3v3 matches. There is enough pvp content at the moment. There are other serious concerns, like Server caps and class issues. I could support 10v10 pvp later, but for now the pvp content provided is sufficient.
Bullshit. 3v3 arena is ruled by the same cheese builds. There is no ranked. there is only 1 map so the same meta build works always. The way to make successfull arenas is to have it ranked and MMR based and have a variety of maps in rotation with different map layouts so one build isnt the strongest always.
Making new maps is not time consuming at all. They have all the 3D assets. Smacking together a few maps wouldn’t be a big task AT ALL.
PvP is in a drought right now and everyone is feeling it.
Ranking systems are something that is done by a system, not a form of content. In the development sense they are different. Systems generally require much more investment, especially things like ranking systems. I Agree and fully support your request to have such ranking systems, but before any such class balance is done are totally useless. I’d rather have better class design first and i am by default an individual who only does ranked pvp.
Are you speaking from experience as a game designer/developer? This is not the case. Scenes are very time consuming and take a lot of time to fully complete. The terrain, or platforms in this case are rather easy to make but there is a lot more to it then that. A long process from conceptualization to finish takes place. Its also not this easy. There are budgets that have to be made.
Look at how we did wow for example. We only released a new pvp map every year or two (depending on the expansion). If it was so easy when we had a larger budget why dident we do it?
I understand your frustration, but what you are saying is not accurate at all.
Sorry, but You’re wrong. The same map from almost a year, and one map on arena isn’t “enough pvp content”. I can’t find any logic reasons why anybody would argue with the fact that we need new maps… I did not even mention the new pvp game modes… Let’s leave it for later.
But new maps…
Making maps is not the same as making gamemodes. They dont have to model a bunch of new 3d assets. They just have to make a new map. It really isn’t that difficult to do. In an entire year we would have expected at least one new map by now.
In fact, they release new dungeons every 3 months, they should create a new map every 3 months at least. Making a new dungeon is much more difficult than creating a new OPR map.
An extremely good point. Making a new opr map or heck. Even an arena map. Isnt even 10% of the task of making an entire scripted dungeon. Not even close.
It is pretty outrageous that we havent seen any new maps at all yet.
Not with the ammount of problems/drama they have to deal with. Dont get me wrong, I also want a new map, but I’d rather have them fix/improve current content then releasing another broken piece of work rushed out thanks to users complaining non stop and not giving good feedback when its due.
Going all the way back to the alphas I proposed borrowing DAoC’s Frontiers concept and creating an adjacent island which mimics the Frontiers model. I don’t think zones directly adjacent to existing PvX zones is a good idea, but maybe a separate island is.
