As soon as I go to PvP I instantly mute everyone immediately so thankfully I don’t even know how the player base acts lol
There was this one time I forgot to but the only thing I heard was some dude coughing up a lung the entire time, it seriously sounded like he was dieing.

Thanks for the shout out. :slight_smile: Also, if anyone is on PSN and wants help with something PVP related, feel free to send them my tag: Timocracy. If I’m around, I’m happy to do what I can.

I have a few things in mind that COULD help the PVP:

  1. The Matches are too long, so many new players get disencouraged by being fodder for the Wolves for half an hour for a single match and experienced players get annoyed by newbies or players quitting in general. By shortening the matches, GBX could avoid some of this.
  2. Quick Matchmaking is good and all, but give the players some room of choice for who they want to play with. The CR isn’t all that indicative to how well the players are, but as pointed out before, it shows the amount of experience with the game. So let the people decide, what Level they would like to play with. Simple solution would be, that a player could choose to only play with others of a level of +/- 20 from his/her own CR, so the matches would be more balanced.
  3. Like said above: Shorter Matches = win. So why don’t you guys from GBX give us the most classic mode a shooter-like game can have; Deathmatch!?
    The reasons behind this are as follows: one major thing new players are lacking is experience with the game modes and the characters, so give them one extremely simple Mode to first learn the characters and the needed behaviors and plays for PVP in general. When a player is experienced enough with some of the classes, he/she will have a much better Start in the other modes. Team-Deathmatch a la 5vs5 for the win!
  4. Tutorials: even when a player has collected some experience with the characters, the understanding of the game modes is nothing that comes from one second to the other. I suggest having tutorial-videos would be a good thing. Force the players to watch them the first time they play PVP and let the Videos be playable whenever one wants by menue.
