Livestream PVP Comments and Updates!

Here are some interesting pieces of information from today's livestream with the combat team:

They acknowledged that there are issues with PVP and had very long meetings and discussions about Fusang. For example, Fusang wasn't mean to be a cycle of zerging. They want to slow down the pace and reward defending more. They are also going to be adding more missions. In addition, they want to reward factions that are playing more strategically versus factions that are sticking together as a zerg group.

Ability Wheel is expanding. Whether or not this is only tied to auxiliary weapons or not remains to be seen. An announcment will be made at Gamescon.

They mentioned the PVP dungeon again (no ETA yet) and the possibility of resurrecting the Shambala PVP battlefield (2 team PVP map in Himalayas). Shambala was originally cut to give less PVP options at launch to keep populations in each battlefield high.

You will be able to queue for multiple battlefields at the same time in the near future.

They talked about the possibility of manned machine guns in PVP.

They want to see more activity in the Fight Clubs and discussed making them more accessible or adding them to the PVP map. They also discussed the possibility of using the Fight Clubs for tournaments.

They want to add an arena system and proper ladder ranking system.
