PvP as a whole, doesn't seem to get the love it needs. Sure, we get the occasional nerf/buff for skills/classes. But what about the QOL improvements that are missing. This isn't a PVE vs PvP post. I'd like to see some ideas from the group, ideas that can add small, yet enjoyable additions to our playtime in PVP. Now I realize that some of these things can be achieved via addons on PC. However, console players lack that ability.
1) Custom games.
I know there are many out there who love the PvP combat so much, they'd go out of their way to come up with some make shift tourney and try to queue up at the same time to try and battle. That's dedication. Deserves to be given at least a conversation.
2) Access to stats (In-game)
There may be a reason for it, but the only way to get semi-detailed stats for the game (on consoles) is going into the xbox companion app and checking out the 4-5 stats they list there. Cool feature, but why isn't something like that in game? I'm not vain, but like most competitive players, I'd like to know how well im doing by clicking a couple buttons in my menu. General stats like kills, heals, assist, (and yikes, even total deaths) would make for a cool addition. I know there are 3rd party websites and addons for pc that can achieve this, but for those who don't use addons or are on console, it would benefit them.
3) On screen UI notifications
In BGs, you get this reaffirming notification when you get a kill, or the wtf moment when it says you only helped with that kill when you did all the work. While I don't necessarily believe it needs to be as big and gaudy as it is in BGs, i would like to see a kill feed in the chat. And to go one further, maybe have a on screen kill counter that refreshes anytime you leave pvp/log off. Again, addons for PC do this really well, while its no option for console.
Yes i'm a console player, and my ideas are catered more to having inclusivity for all. I liken it to when there were no in-game damage number/indicators and on PC, you had to get an addon for that. Console was out of luck til they finally added it.
What are some other ideas from you all that you think could give some good QOL improvements? I may be in the minority here, but i believe there isn't enough focus on PvP. Doesn't need to be a main focus, but maybe add some things to at least let us know they're trying.
