All I did was sPvP on beta weekends, and it was great fun. I spent a lot of time imagining what it would be like to play with a premade against another premade, but as it stands, it’s way too strict. There are no premades for random joins, can’t join as a group. Tournaments require 5 people exactly.
There needs to be something for the casual pvp’er that wants to play with friends. Arena pvp has been mentioned before, and I think something along those lines would do the trick. Quick 2v2/3v3’s/4v4’s, allow premades in 8v8’s somehow (perhaps by matching them with another 8man team with some people entering as premades).
