After PVE game development, consider PVP

Do we need more PvP?
Firstly, it's person versus the AI and I think Kyno said "live" where 2 people are actually battling is unlikely.
Putting that aside, we have both squad arenas, GAC and TWs. I'd have thought that's probably enough.

A: Live PVP is always a nightmare. The other guy will either have carrier-pigeon-powered internet or be a dumb ragequitter like 75% of the time. Pass.

B: I'm fine with GA representing the pinnacle of PVP content. We really don't need yet another PVP mode. I would, however, be on board with something that makes squad and fleet arena less mind-numbingly boring.

They need to fix or improve the PvP they already have. Squad Arena can be a source for super toxic **** from shard chats and needs a huge overhaul, though I'm not optimistic on that one

TW and more importantly GAC matchmaking needs a complete overhaul because it is absolutely abysmal

What's wrong with GAC matchmaking? Seems great to me.

What would you want changed?

There's like 50 other threads full of that stuff.

I still want my Wager Battles. You post your team on a board with a stun gun salvage on the table for whatever opponent with only certain factions being able to battle it. Limits are on GP of the team or something, perhaps you even get to pick the faction.

The idea is at anytime you can go in and meaningfully battle another player to earn something.

You'd get choice, value, I think fun.

For me Squad arena = battling GAS , JKL, Rey, SLKR, or DR Malak. Always the same stuff. GAC is great but always annoying 24 hour periods.

We need something live that is not so narrow.

I am over 99% sure they will never make a gambling system like that.

Without an overhaul, Live is not really an option.

Yea, all the packs they offer have that market cornered.

Live PVP is not the way to go.

Mini PVP GAC where you can pick your opponent.....this is the way.

Speak for yourself. I think it's great we get this new single-player content.

Why can’t some things be less grand? Introducing....

Mediocre Midichlorian Arena

CUP meta incoming!!!

If you want live arena go check out MSFs version so you know why it’s a horrible idea. If you take certain characters in the enemy will just forfeit or let it time out. Live pvp in these games is absolute trash and I seriously hope they never do it here

This is not a complaint, but PVP is not really getting love besides new toons.

GC and Conquests are nice. = PVE
PVP is wondering when you're gonna call her.

We already got plenty of Avenue for pvp, let their be something for ships and ships only, we honestly should have gotten a ship raid or GC for ships by this point even if it's just a pilot gear check to see if u will pass it or not, it's still something, when CG said Galactic challenges are something where you would get to use your entire roster, I got super excited until they said no, ships are not included at the moment and now this new game mode doesn't have ships in it again. Just give us something for ships before we get more pvp or pve events

Not only would I like ships to be the meat of Wager Battles, but the fact we can mod characters and not ships is the dumbest thing in the game.

I don't know if what I am positing is "live PVP."
