Can anyone comment on the upcoming changes being planned for PvP? I've seen lots of feedback from the PvP communities at central and here about needed changes and good, math based solutions to the problems. I can post the links if anyone needs refreshers.
It would be excellent if KI can keep the dialog open and let folks have a sense of what and when!
At this time, I can confirm that we have plans to make changes to Player vs Player combat, but we are not ready to discuss what those changes are, or how extensively PvP will be altered.
We are also not ready to release information about a timeline on these changes.
The feedback here on the Player vs Player section of the official message boards are referenced during our discussions about the current state of PvP.
Would love to see some changes that allow players to choose the max rank they face, but limit people fighting lower levels. I would think coding it so different worlds have different arenas:
WC - Levels 1-20 Krok - Levels 30 and below MB - Levels 40 and below DS/Grizz - Levels 50 and below Celestia - Levels 60 and below WT - Levels 70 and below Av - Levels 80 and below
This would allow skilled, well geared lower level wizards to test themselves versus a level they can compete against and avoid the matchups where the gear is rendered obsolete via crit.
