If we just dropped in soft caps and dynamic ult gen in today's PvP world it would be infinite destro ult 20x worse than the infinite bats or banner every 2 seconds that we had in early Cyro.
When you get down to the "generations" of PvP you need to realize they are generations by design. One was that of soft caps and dynamic ult gen and different siege properties and skill metas. Then ZOZ said "we want something else" and *poof* we got CP and all of the fun that came with it. Then we got proc sets and some new metas came around. Players adapted and the way PvP was fought changed.
Nostalgia shouldn't play a factor in game performance. It just so happens that nostalgia means dynamic ult gen and softcaps in this case...which led to good server performance. BUT for some people, they started playing with CP and without dynamic ult gen...so their nostalgia might include shield breaker being BiS and knowing how mist form "works" with certain sets. (these are just examples of broken things...not a list of why PvP is better now than before 1.5
Give back dynamic ult
PS: How do the last 2 poll options even make sense?
Yes, I played back then. Yes, I preferred it back then, but for different reasons than most.
I prefer the old times, because it was a different type of community back then. There was the odd one out in between who tried to exploit the addmitedly poorer gameplay, but the majority of players just played the game.
Nowadays, no matter which campaign you join, there's always a bunch of ap flippers with zero interest in pvp. Or proctatos. Or 5-attacks-a-second turds.
Basically, pvp population is a bunch of exploiting, spineless and pathetic excuses for human beings, that justify anything with "because I can".
And that is the only reason why I lost interest in pvp.
I miss the soft caps and the dynamic unties...
To be honest with you.. I don't feel like voting because I feel it's useless. I preferred 1.5, fix nirnhoned and it was a good patch.
