Alex, I love this change. Please give us an option to check/uncheck Proper Warzones/Wargames, Huttball and Arenas.

Thank you... PleasE!

Queues do pop much faster. If that's because of the removal of those maps, I'd very much like to see that get figured out. Maybe letting people opt out of maps they're just going to quit out of anyway is the way to go. That said, Huttball is really fun on teams that actually try to play it, win or lose. Can't help but wonder if haters aren't just deathmatching on every map and not really contributing to objectives as much as they could.

Deathmatch on the other hand is insta-death for like a third the classes in the game and completely pointless unless you happen to be up against complete noobs or they don't have healer or it's 4v2 all of which are cheap wins anyway.

Especially when it's been off test server for weeks lol. Probably the same way they miss things like BALANCE issues...when you don't care, you don't double check anything.
All warfare is based on deception If his forces are united, separate them If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near A leader leads by example not by force

Which can be attributed to the launch of new pvp changes and people wanting to test out their new shiny gear. >__> lol.

3 of us. VS has become my 2nd fav, right after huttball. So one of you would be stuck with me, and the other would probably win, sorry.

And about queues being faster since the HB/arena filter accidentally went live. I have trouble believing that filter has anything to do with it. I'd bet, if I were a betting man, that 90% of the people PvPing don't even know it. Seems like the quicker queue times, if it's not just perception, would be people trying out the (other ) changes in 3.3.

Arenas? Arenas are annoying when you are mismatched so terribly, whether it's skill or class selection in this regard (4 healers against 4 dps, really?!).

Arenas should be spared for ranked only. At least then you know what you are signing up for, and it's (slightly) better matched, at least concerning team compositions.
That reminds me of a reg arena I was in a month or so ago... the enemy had 1dps (jugg), 1 tank and 2 heals. I'm pretty sure they were a premade. My team had 1 dps and 3 heals (pug). The first round I set my personal record for dps (2.55k) on my guardian and the jugg topped that with 2.9k but his team had a tank and one of my sages was pve. Needless to say nobody died. The 2nd round they tried one gambit to burst me down, failed and we went to our corners to wait for the mist. As it turns out, pve gear + sorc bubble wins vs mist. When the overabundance of one archetype (healers) breaks things completely, i would say a drawing board has to be revisited.

They should allow us to select 1 map that we categorically do not with to play. I don't think that would ruin anything. But it doesn't really matter a whole lot, as we can just exit right at the beginning - I am looking at you Quesh Ball

They've been really fast. Even at times of day when almost nobody was hanging out in PVP area on fleet.
