Item level bracketing for pvp.

evilkingsolo · April 2017

I believe you guys should introduce item level bracketing. To keep like IL toons together and give everyone a fighting chance in pvp. This would in turn imo produce a vastly better turn out for pvp. Who wants to play games that are entirely one sided because gear score?? Not me it's not even a question of skill at that point. So in that there is no point. This would imo develop a better turn out for people seeking other things in the game besides the pve content. Cause your pvp content does it flat sucks because of the way you set it up anyone new goes plays a game or two than quits permanetly why??? Cause pve geared ppl who have no glory have no shot at pvp to get that expensive gear when they barely score if they are damn lucky 100 glory after getting rocked by veteran try hards. So if you guys are serious about pvp than I believe you need to introduce this mechanic and if you are not interested in the pvp aspects than take away the pvp gear period than guess what tenacity problem solved. So please reflect and fix. Thanks.

This has been talked about for years. The problem at the moment is so few people play pvp that if you limited access by IL you'd wait 3 hours for a match, which would put off the remaining players and pvp would finally go to the grave.

I believe they have actually trialled something similar and it did result in much longer wait times.

For pvp to work they need to remove underdark ring bonuses, wards & drains, apply tenacity to piercing damage, have a variation that is 100% solo queue and of course the one that's in the pipeline: loadouts.

That should get the population to a point where bracketing could work.

Yes like others have said the problem is numbers ..
More 4K people queue for pvp than anyone else and without those the 1500-2000 bracket would take 2 hours to get a match .
A big prob is that not many people in NWO still pvp because let's be honest it is a hassle with little reward in its current form.
If they fixed the pvp system they might be able to do a team Level system where
If the five people on the team are above 17k total item level they get put in a higher bracket or if below it they go in a more noob friendly bracket.

This can def work as did the old WoW player rating arena system which had a team rating .

Cryptic really needs to get 50 or so hardcore pvp streamers and twitchers together with a team of devs and coders to brainstorm on the pvp system as it is really an untapped revenue source right now.

I would love to help as would many Razor sponsored pvp gamers a lot of us really believe NWO has a lot of potential but they really don't have a clue on how to fix it and balance between pvp and PVE
The individual class balancing will never work as pvp is a team sport not made for 1v1 epeen pumpers nor will balancing PVE around PVP they must be treated as different enitities all together.

people would just abuse this the only real way to fix pvp is make the leaderboards based off ur solo q win/loss ratio. meaning the only way u rank on the pvp leaderboard is solo queuing. your other option is obvious let pvp die lets premades player premades that's honestly the only other option you have. once they get sick of each other and it completely dies out pvpers will either quit or will be forced to pve which most of them are terrible at pve and make me wanna cry. pvp died since mod 5 tbh with u.
