Dear a-net,
Tonight pvp was enjoyable for me. I will from time to time post remarks on these forums, and to be honest those remarks are usually in line with how my day has been, what work was like and also how scumbags I had to wad my through when getting home and just trying to unwind while playing a game.

Why was it enjoyable tonight? Most the the maps I got were 3 vs 3 or 4 vs 4. This made all the difference to achieving goals, but also when I got engaged, I didn’t really get ganked by 5 others from behind, and if I did get ganked, I had enough breathing room to exit to a better position. After multiple matches against the same people (Sometime they’re with me..others against me.) It made it easier for me to change skills and/or weapons depending on who was standing on the node or near by before engaging. For the ele I swapped these two utilities, for the warrior I swapped back and used a shield..the thief had a excellent build for crushing mine, so i tried to avoid him.

It was in short a solid pvp experience and under these circumstances where I am not perma engaged by someone-somewhere so I can swap out while O.O.C made the experience a lot more customised.

I still got cheese dropped down a hole on skyhammer, but they worked me into that position after a good duel, I still had a bunker who no matter what I threw at them it just seemed to bounce off, but they weren’t really doing much either, so I could at least stalemate them until either help arrived, or I got out number and had to retreat. A lot of the trickier, higher skill cap builds became more straight forward without losing them in particle haze.

All in all I can understand that in M.M.O’s some days it seems like neo didn’t take the red pill, the oracle is too busy making cookies and Mr Smith is running a muck everywhere, but there was some thing definitely more enjoyable with less. It made the experience more. Maybe rather than adding more-more-more..which is admirable, a lil’ investment into making an area with a lil’ less maybe what the doctor ordered.

B.T.W, after several months I’m 87% of the way towards completing 100% map completion. It has been awesome finding all the nooks and crannies in game. Feel free to forward that one to P.v.E H.Q.

I agree that when teams get larger than about 6 people, games get zergy/spammy. Pro tip—join the hotjoin servers that are capped at 5 people per team. 8v8 is usually ridiculous.

Joining solo arenas has the same result, although you can’t change weapons or utilities.
