Team Ranked Warzones in Game Update 1.3

Old news. Why re-post this? And the article didn't even mention if we are able to copy our characters to PTS still. There is such a huge disconnect between devs, community managers, and players. This really makes no sense. He wants us to test this, but gives no details on how. Does he even know that PTS doesn't currently let us copy more characters?

It honestly could get tested till the cows come home and its still gonna be buggy as all hell.

Not sure I like or dislike this.

I can see the benefit of it for those waiting for a ranked match, but doesn't really separate the face rolling of people in the unranked all pug warzone battles going on. But then I don't know if there is a solution for that.

Wish there was an efficient way to filter casual and competitive PvP better.

That pretty much leaves it open for them to not release ranked warzones with 1.3, he's just doing it with double-talk.

If they want more people to test they need to open character copies back up and make it easier to be done, or give people premade characters that are only allowed to do wz's, and are deleted when 1.3 pts goes down.

Most of my guild doesnt come on the pts due to the fact that their characters didnt get copied and they have to level a new one.

But then those losing could easily exploit this. Down 4-0 in Huttball? Pull out your Cat5. Losing 100-20% in Novare? Turn off the Wi-Fi. Bad enough that there's no deserter penalty for leaving WZ's early and people don't even need to go through the effort of killing their internet.

100% agreed.

Thank you for finally listening to reason guys and showing that this feature was actually right to add in

Its small steps like this that will end in a great game.

Now, take the step further and show us you can crack the world pvp challenge.

Or just give us 1 big warzone for normal warzones, 16vs16?

Thanks for the suggestion mate, I tend to do that already. The idea is that while you are waiting in the q for your Ranked game, you can also join the q for normal warzones with any group you like, including your ranked team. So tell me, how many do you think will be joining solo or with a different group, considering that 4-man premades are already quite prominent? If you are in a group to do pvp and you can join two qs for pvp, one with much shorter waiting time that also does not affect your q for the ranked games, would you skip that option? Because I don't think many will and thus the casual puggers will be facing more and more ranked premades.

I don't understand why ranked warzones are so important, they service such a small group of players.

Why don't we have single player ranked with an ELO system rating for individual players.
