RE: Ladder Resets - FireIceTalon - 07-20-2012 It doesn't have to be perfectly balanced anyway, as long as its within reason. D1 and D2 PvP were far from perfect, but they were fun and a huge factor in making the games last for years longer than they would have. Inevitably, there will be some builds or skills that are considered OP, and some classes will have more difficulty fighting a certain class than others. The top players ultimately will probably balance PvP by forbidding certain builds or skills to be used in their duels, especially in cases where there is a class advantage. It is NOT that difficult to balance it without affecting PvM - you can alter skills/cooldowns to be in place on human opponents without affecting them in the PvM realm simply by keeping PvM and PvP completely separate, which also is not that difficult. I just hope they make a custom games system so I dont always have to duel people I don't know, I want to duel with friends.

It's insane, really. For those who were around in the beginning of WoW, remember how radically different the classes were from each other? Balanced, no; but you have to admit they were extremely unique. I completely disagree with you on this point. I loved the fact that they made DPS classes interchangeable, tanks interchangeable and healers interchangeable. When I first started playing WoW was right after the buffed the prot pallys with Burning Crusade. I leveled entirely as a tankadin and ended up raiding. By the end of my time with WoW I was maintanking not because my class was better, but because I was a better tank than the warriors, death knights and druids in my guild. I like the differing styles and I like that they made all classes viable for PvE, while keeping them unique. |
