Interview with Alex Modny and Eric Musco on Bad Feeling Podcast

Here is my only problem with this change is melee in general will have a tough time tab targeting to stop caps while the stealth class will just use tab mezz on 4 people rotating mezz while none stealth classes will have a harder time with this with being what resolve and cc is.

Alex my question is It has always taken skill in capping while AOE which has some affect on this and there are not a lot of matches were AOE stops a cap over good teams? The only time this becomes and issue is when you got a really bad team of pugs. So this will hurt bad pugs the most because they will not be able to stop caps like the pro's do. So how does BW expect the causal pvper to even stand a remote chance to stop big pvp guild like mine. When they can only live for a few seconds and are in the starting zone with a door lock on them?

ignore this. they dont know what they want/like/dislike.
huttball is your greatest warzone. do not manipulate it. people hated warsong gulch in WoW for the longest time, its still their best battleground 10 years down the line. Many people LOVEEEEE it, as with huttball. Do not do something atrocious like filtering it out for some people.
PvP @ heart is about the perpetual chaos of perception application, this applies with all maps in a unique way. Huttball is wonderful. People with neurological issues start to panic when the other team scores continuously, especially back to back and relatively quickly. This is what gives them the bad experience, not the map, but when they are losing its more stressful than say voidstar. I won't have to elaborate further, one's cognition can fill in the rest. <3

Currently the Item Rating 168 Mods cost 400 Warzone Comms and the Item Rating 174 Mods cost 800 Ranked and 400 Warzone. In 3.3 the 168 Mods will cost 150 Warzone Comms each. 174 Mods will cost 400 Warzone Comms each.

Beautiful! Great change!

There is also a segment of the population that only likes CW or NC or VS. Queues aren't big enough to let people choose their warzone and still have fast queue times.

As for VS, isn't it more exciting to see who races to the datacore faster than who gets more kills at the first door? The change may make the game too offensive, but the warzones play out far too defensively in the current state imo.

I apologize, let me clear this up as I made a mistake about the costs in my original post.

Both of these are great questions to which I'd love to see the answer

Full access of f2p/preferred to warzones.

Cartel unlock for access to ranked.

Well I assume that the timer disparity in VS still exists. 6 or 8 to arm (been awhile since I bothered to PvP) and 3 to remove. I'd think this would make VS more easily defend-able assuming teams being fairly equal. Which may stop the crazy fast runs...

My biggest concern is that this is an attempt to lengthen the amount of time spent in a WZ. The more time people spend in a match, the less time they are spending waiting in queue, hence the perception of better WZ time spent. The doubling of XP and Coin only adds to my thinking on this. It allows better defense of VS, but makes Denova, AH, and ACW have more switching and contested nodes. This would make all 4 of these WZ average a longer uptime. In all of this I am surprised t hey did not add a cooldown timer to HB after you score that you cannot get the ball for like 30 or 60 sec...

Will 174 mods also be 400 WZ comms?

Arenas 1 vs 1: for one class and for all.
New warzone Voidstar type
New Warzone with 4x objectives mechanics (atm Huttball 1, Voidstar and AHG 2, CV and NC 3)

174 is accurate. I typo'd
