So mod 16 was the first mod since mod 2 that I didn't pvp - they broke my archer - cc was insane - etc etc.

Should I start again mod 17..? As HR..?
No idea what my toon is now.

    Mod 17 does have some changes for PvP ...

    - Stamina Regen is halved
    - Movement Speed is increased
    - Companion bonuses are removed

    But the insane CC will remain and there haven't been any major changes to Archer HRs. But there's a new map and new gear to get ...

    They made critical severity fully effective again. Time to kill is insanely low now and stuns are unavoidable. Whoever gets the first hit wins.

    I explored the new map yesterday with a friend, quite a departure from the originals. CWs are going to have fun, and GFs too will be punting people into oblivion lol.

    I joined soloQ for a while on my HR, no pop. Searched for matches, none being played. I dunno. I know the strict pve crowd would cry the house down, but an semi/obligatory pvp domination questline will probably be the only way revive pvp.

    Sadly most of what we've been promised is not working right now (disabling companions, boons, campaign). There are many other bugs such as broken rewards or control resist not working whatsoever.
    That said, PvP is in a much better spot than last mod, although healing and critical severity need to be lowered. If there is some promotion once the seasons kick off, we might see some increase in population.
    Solo queue is still pretty much the only way to play PvP, I wish it was at least solo/duo like other competitive games. Being unable to play with friends is really disheartening.
    Also, HR has at least two viable builds which actually perform very similarly, so props to the devs for that.

    Okay, after a few days pvp, I'm happy, pvp is BACK.

    Just be prepared for stamina wards, or sit out, for the people running drains. Totally broken. A 4% drain turns into 34% if they've got the pvp boon maxed. Had around 10 good matches yesterday where most agreed no drains, and no bulette/pig. With glory being broken, how are guilds and players supposed to even try and build boons to combat a 30% edge, even if you want to get the drain/ward?

    Any players using drains = Hamster at this point and any guild leader supporting such player is also hamster..
    and a guild that further focused on building the pvp drain boon ,,just shameless .. with a special mention to the devs for nerfing the stamina drains 3 times but never removing them as begged for..

    The situation will only get worse when they fix glory, rewards and leaderboard. There will always be people looking to get any advantage they can get. It’s gonna drive away new people who are looking to try pvp. Pls do something about this ASAP.
