Expectation PvP Content End 2024

silvix1896 · March 30

Hey Guys,

what do you think/hope will be the new pvp content about?

moo_2021 · March 31

6vs6 or 8vs8. No roles. Separate DM and objective queues. Fix old bugs.

Smaller maps that force engagements not winning by stealing, running and hiding, though they're my favorite.

Grant daily rewards by personal medals, e.g. first 1000 or 2000 points. Winners get additional rewards.

Too good to be true.

Only expectation i have is that its an actual PvP feature.

Bug fixes, ToT or anything else that is not actually players fighting players should not count as a PvP feature.

What i would like to see most would be some form of ranked arenas for duels and group fights so there is finally some actual leaderboards for PvP.

Probably changes to nightblade.

New ToT deck?

adamsmith42 · April 2

Two sided BGs would be awesome... but i'd just be happy if they did *something* to fix matchmaking... as far as i can tell the only thing is how many BGs that toon has done over some time period, teams are random from that pool... there really needs to be a metric with average wins/points/damage/healing/whatever so that over a third of the matches don't end up looking like this... https://ibb.co/0h2knWv this game was so lopsided that 4 people quit within a minute or two (our team got one replacement) ... I gave up myself and let them spam kill me just to get to the next match without a queue debuff

@ZOS_Kevin any chance that some work on BGs is gonna be part of the PvP update?

Dagoth_Rac · April 2

They mentioned no companions in Chapter but there will be companions later this year. So my guess is companion vs companion PvP in Q4, like some kind of Companion Pokemon battle thing. I'm joking. Maybe.

auz · April 2

No more stuck in combat

Lol I joked that the cap testing was prep to allow companions in Cyrodiil.

As I said in this thread already. I expect disappointment

ToT IS NOT PvP. It's a card game.

Alvedolin · April 16

we need group que for battlegrounds to be fixed. or give us deathmatch mode.

Alvedolin · April 16

waiting 15-20 mins for group q in battlegrounds is unacceptable

Alvedolin · April 16

not once did i ever have a group q issue when we had deathmatch mode.

blktauna · April 17

I expect nothing because thats what we'll get.

Rhaegar75 · April 22

please please please give us a well functioning dynamic BG/PvP ranking system: I am so bored of being stuck in fighting streamers and professional players in BGs....result...being farmed.

When this doesn't happen I end up pitched against PvErs and my K/D ration goes through the roof.

Either way this is really no fun. The usual idiot may say gitgud or L2P....I can't and don't want to: full time job, busy life, socializing etc..

I just want to be pitched against people who have a similar skillset

The fact of the matter is that there legitimately aren't enough BG players for a proper MMR system. There simply wouldn't be enough players to fill each skill bracket.

A sad self fulfilling prophecy: 'Jo the noob reaches the highest MMR bracket and gets steamrolled again and again....Jo the noob is now very likely to stop joining BGs'. As a result the BG population will remain as too low

TechMaybeHic · April 22

I still have yet to do BGs even though thats all I did in SWTOR. Its the same everywhere. Premades vs pugs and rating complaints and a population not big enough to support the fix

If you don't want to go against premades then don't queue for group queue?

I meant its just the general issues discussed over and over

Vaqual · April 24

I think grouped duels/PvP flags would be the coolest. Players could RP as raid bosses. You could play hostage extraction in your house. The good campaigns are full anyway and nobody likes Ravenwatch. Shouldn't give AP outside of Cyro though so that it can't be abused.
Could be as easy as DC/EP/AD/Rogue. Fully optional sign-up, no tag-ins. No disabling in combat or up to 1 minute after last being hit by a player. Death removes the lockout.

I like it, flagged players can only fight flagged players, and people in group are not targetable. Many other game(s) already do this, so maybe this is a real possibility.

Rhaegar75 · April 25

I would love a ‘flag system’ outside of Cyro

soelslaev · May 2

Here is my guess. I won't explicitly say tho.

You know how all the thieves hideouts have entrances outside of town away from city guards? I'll bet we're about to see them used a **whole** lot more.

buzzclops · May 31

RATED BGs!!!!!

Araneae6537 · May 31

I hope Battlegrounds get a revamp — choice of modes, maybe even new modes (but let people queue only for deathmatch if that’s what they’d prefer), new maps, and a better reward system, such as being able to select which reward track interests you (do you want to work toward earning transmutes? furnishing materials? etc.) and better matchmaking!

Maybe make it two teams? Of course there are three alliances, but that has nothing to do with teams for games and that might make balancing and population issues easier.

Overamera · May 31

another card game

Tommy_The_Gun · May 31

It will either be something small that should be in a game since day 1, or something that no one asked for.
