Sadly I stopped playing a while back too. Subclassing ruined PVP for me, and I lost the desire to play solo content too. It was fun while it lasted though!
I was the same, PvP main basically since console launch, stopped with sub classing. Doubly stopped with Vengeance, but still following the changes. I hear they're trying to unsubclass things now? Lol but who knows how long that will take, and it still doesn't fix Vengeance.
I haven't paid attention to what they've been doing since I uninstalled, but undoing subclassing would definitely be a good thing. Solo story content was the reason I started, and I played through all of the zone stories except the most recent one. I did get started with PVP after a while, and I was playing in a regular group a few times a week up until I quit. It was fun while it lasted though, and I've got some good memories from it!
Oh for sure man. I was originally PC on launch, but hated playing M/KB so did the 1 time console transfer in release, and played there basically until last year. Mainly PvP until maybe 2019/2020, started getting into PvE. Got big into trials, did all the HMs through vKA, and legitimate ball groups about the same time, as I'd really just grouped with homies prior. Maybe mid 2024 swapped to PC, and then basically our whole group quit with subclassing this year. A lot of us swapped from console, and after grinding up CP and gear, transmutes, skill points, etc, to then have maybe a month of solid play until subclassing came out when it was straight back to grinding....nah. We almost all quit lol. I'd probably come back for a bit if subclassing reverted and standard PvP stayed. Some of us tried Vengeance, and it doesn't "fix" the ball group problem, it just nerfs it because of the AoE caps. Ball groups still push much larger zergs, it's the coordination and role designations. It just makes the problem much slower. Very frustrating.
Very much enjoyed my time, but I'm fine being done with it. Made a lot of good friends playing.
I haven't played for that long, but I did get pretty into it for a good while. The PVP was primarily what kept me playing after I finished all the story content. I was never a top level player, but the group I played with didn't seem to mind too much! We would run a more organized ball group, but also did some more relaxed playing and low level too. I had a lot of fun doing low level and helping new people get started.
I can't imagine spending all that time grinding up new characters only to have subclassing come out right then though. We found we were basically forced to subclass to keep up with everyone else, and I much preferred playing pure builds. I haven't checked in on the group recently, but I know there were a few that were still planning to continue.
I wouldn't mind finding another MMO like it, but I haven't had much luck!
