8v8 Discussion Thread
They have changed turf takeover to 8v8 to see what it’s like (for lag I bet) what do you lot think.
Forum Discussion
@ToastedSarnie I should have clarified that only the first question was @ mentioned to you. The rest was rhetorical, at best.
I truly wanted to know whether you thought more people = greater team play but in now way am I trying to come off condescending.
The way 8v8 was rolled out, it was doomed for failure! I just wish people might slow down and think about day 1 turf vs today. No mention of that, either???
EDIT: I’m more than happy to stick to myself on more topics moving forward, if my advice is overlooked and taken as being mean. Not one single forum regular even acknowledged what I said? That’s odd.
@spIash_damage Sorry 😪 I don't really think you're mean or that you should keep your views to yourself because they're perfectly valid. I'm upset - I didn't like the idea that you'd think I (or most of us) would want to exclude a large part of the community. No excuse for ranting, but I've had a whole bunch of team-swapping, stomping games, coupled with idiots who've also enjoyed taunting, because apparently playing on a team of 7, playing "those" zombies & annihilating 4 plants at first base spawn every game is something to boast about.
I'm miserable about so many things with the game & I'm done. Truly, sadly, utterly.

@ToastedSarnie the spawn camping in this game has been extremely bad at times. I've seen in all 3 PvZ shooters, especially on certain maps, (seeds of time in GW2 could be a nightmare as the zombies at times for example). I've seen it in other games as well, in 2 Fort, demo camping the enemy spawn was one of the most annoying things I've ever seen.
I loathe spawn camping and if my team is doing it heavily, I'll either just leave or at the very least no engage in it. If anyone remembers that event that had infinite ammo with Imps vs. Corn in GW2 and how badly that was for Imps it was almost embarrassing to play Corn there and on Seeds of Time the Imps were camped so badly I had a terrible score as I was back at the point despite most of my time not even letting them get past the gates so I had few vanquishes and we never lost the first point. I fail to see the enjoyment playing like that, especially with a game with so many kids playing.
If they'd fix the team imbalance, it would help with this a lot, but even then I'd love to see spawn camping penalized although not sure how'd they'd enforce it.

I’ve waited a LONG time to merge this divided community and was beyond happy when I thought this would (partially) do that (by merging those of us who loathe the current TT with the current TT crowd).
When I woke up this morning, in NO WAY did I expect to be the popular opinion but I truly expected some of the regulars or EA staff or anyone to chime in on what myself and dwooten highlighted as being void from the current 8 v 8.
I should honestly manage my expectations with a larger dose of reality and that’s what I get for trying to be so forward thinking; need to slow down a bit, I reckon.
At the end of the day PvP IS BROKEN so there’s no point in introducing anything. Look at all the threads being IGNORED about team swap.
I shoulda just private messaged you or any of my other buddies with my less than popular insight. 😊💚👍
I wanted to add that in the tweet about the 8v8 change, Shaun states he wants our feedback on this. It comes off as a test rather than a permanent change based on that.
@spIash_damage the team swapping/imbalance is the number one issue right now. There are also a few changes some individual characters need to bring them in line, but they can be dealt with better if the teams are more equal in the first place. The patch really did make combat feel and play better but they've got to get reign in team stacking and swapping. I don't know exactly why it feels worse here than GW1 and 2 where it was also rampant, but it sure does.
