Balanced PVP?

[Heraculas]

i live in japan and i know this is one of the biggest MMORPG, a genre I want to get into but the subscription model kind of concerns me because of finance problems.
I like my pvp games, is the pvp in this game balanced and/or scaled? similar to games like blade and soul and guild wars 2 where player stats are normalised.

OR if anyone can suggest anyother game with english support that is popular in Japan.
thanks.

I am not expert on PVP but I wouldn't compare the pvp in this game to games that have more of a pvp focus.

This game seems more PVE centric then any game I've tried so far in that they put a lot into the PVE world such as a main story content you follow ( guess with option to buy skip potions you can do that now though in my humble opinion it's a waste of a unique game aspect to do so however I understand there are players who won't like having to do a lot of quests in order to move to from expansion to expansion.), lots of side quests, side story quests ( quests that are side ones but with more involved story so longer), levequests, fates, many instances - dungeons, trials, raids, and a host of other activities - duty roulettes, challange logs, hunts, crafting and gathering classes, achievements, etc.

I kind of think PVP was kind of thrown in there because there will always be a player base that seeks to have both content in an mmo though I don't think if your a hardcore pvp player this game would satisfy that game play.

Again I'm just going on what I heard about it and see as content in this game. I have yet to participate in the pvp activities since I am not really into pvp however I know players that do it just for the rewards and very good xp it can give them to help level their classes. I would consider giving it a try for those reason myself maybe one of these days but I seem to always be doing something else so haven't tried it yet.

Yes pvp is balanced and I can tell you now is the best time to get into pvp for this game , they gave it a new life for now.

They did massive revamp on PvP, now your LVL does not matter nor your gears in any mode. As soon as you unlock PvP you can queue it regardless of LVL, PvP skills and traits are separated from pve entirely and they made it much simpler by trim down actions and add combo instead of individual skills. People are leveling / farming tomestone with battleground aka frontline right now and its mostly insta queue for those.

Gear doesnt matter in PvP, but so does nothing. You PvE your heart out in PvP. Mindlessly rotating your 10 skills. Not much room to outplay anyone, not really competitive either.
PvE on the other hand is really good, PvP is just not the focus of the game but a minigame.

It seems they basically have made all the classes mostly the same in function, even if some of the actions differ. For example the astrologion plays the same as a white mage aside from a single ability to use cards. But not able to combo cards or store them.

While I see this cutting down will make pvp much easier to balance, it also cuts into a lot of what makes classes unique. Time will tell if it's an improvement or not though.
