Deliberation
Redna introduction

A brief history of PvP - launched w/ 8s, ranked 8s premade only, ranked revamp (arena) 4’s and solo queuing, First Season began, expertise restriction, now valor

Gear: Launched without expertise (fastest max gear via PvP), split in two w/ separate set bonuses, added expertise, then cxp removed all pvp gear.

Seperate stat never utilized well.  Might be background work to set up but long term simplest class balance situation is to have modifiers dependant on pvp stat only for pvp and other stats solely for pve.

Set bonuses could adjust utilities as well.

Quest rewards, the only way ranked can function is with people

List the maps in the order they were released (btw huttball is what makes the game unique and interesting)

Objective maps vs death match

What about all ranked (suggest split in two)

How the queuing works, and how we think it should

Sechari’s Notes:

Favorite role/class in PVP

Been playing Jugg tank lately

Protection

Surrendered to not thinking DPS

Major medals

Escapes scrutiny

Sorc healer

Survivability

Utility (extricate on Quesh huttball, phase walk, force push)

Poll picks

Role matching or balancing in normal PVP

More maps per game mode

Ranked PVP

Needs a whole lot more people playing

Not for the elites, would group up by rating

Offers the best unassembled components by far (esp. grouped).

Alise notes

I hate Quesh ball

The average pve player is afraid of PvP and the community.  Think toxic folks play there

 

Majik’s notes

Love objectives!

Honestly stupid ppl feed my troll

Kills matter?

Valediction
