Going Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 One bracket for regs? Is this just for PTS or you're planning to introduce this with patch 5.9.2? Yes that is what we are testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarova Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 For the European Players: Session 1: Saturday: 17:00-19:00 Session 2: Sunday: 00:00-02:30 This Time is in 24h time format. And for my fellow Brits: Session 1: 16:00-18:00 BST Session 2: 23:00-00:00 BST I was too lazy to think 1 hr behind mainland Europe. I had to look it up I'm guessing there are so many time zones for the various player countries, many will end up checking like I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akevv Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Hmm, 3 on fleet so far. Still no Rishi strongholds on the list. Anyone know someone with one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merovejec Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 So it was a fun session, yet I fail to see that there was anything done to the matchmaking. I was doing regs on Live and then swapped to PTS, without seeing any change. Sure we were cross faction, but still many healers and many tanks. I guess this could be due to the low population but still, wasn't very encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a -lot- of sorcs/sages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiranea Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Well, that was decent fun! Can't really comment too much on the gameplay changes as I didn't see a lot of them in action (e.g. I got one Queshball but nobody ever seemed to explode while carrying the ball. I once got randomly teleported down two floors while walking towards the goal line though, that was weird). Cross-faction seemed to work as intended, though not all the assets seemed to be updated properly. We noticed that in Civil War for example both factions started from an unholy amalgamation of both the Republic and the Imperial ship. Also, can we please pick a colour for the updated scoreboards? I don't mind if the teams are purple and yellow or green and red, but all four colours mixed together make for a serious eyesore. The role matching unfortunately didn't seem to be quite there yet. The very first 8v8 that popped for us was a Yavin Ruins where our team had four healers while the enemy had two. At the very least it should have been split into three per team, not to mention that the changes as posted shouldn't have let that many healers into a warzone to begin with.

I don't mind if the teams are purple and yellow or green and red, but all four colours mixed together make for a serious eyesore. I will second that - it's horribly confusing. Just go with red and green for the team colours. We don't need purple/gold added into the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need purple/gold added into the mix. Especially when, in AHG, your bar and score color are gold, but your pylon color is purple. (I think that's already been reported as a bug, but I'll check and add it to the bug report section if not. Maybe wait until I see if I can get a screen shot later during the next play time. [Edit - oh good, already reported.] ) Edited July 14, 2018 by Banderal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ld-Siris Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Also, can we please pick a colour for the updated scoreboards? I don't mind if the teams are purple and yellow or green and red, but all four colours mixed together make for a serious eyesore. This though my vote is to keep it green and red. Some of the maps the purple doesn't really stand out too well. unless they make it a brighter purple. And tbh there were just waaaaay more healers in que then I ever see on live so yeah that couple have been some of the issue.

Estelindis Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I enjoyed the speed/length of warzones. The only problem I encountered was that at one point, in an arena, one of the enemy team members was listed on my team in the interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
