Feast Harassment is STILL a problem in 2019.

[BloodRubyXII]

I'll be honest, I don't know how to tank in the feast. I was running practice mode to try and see if I could do it, and I wasn't performing well. I lost nearly every match, and weighed down the team.

But that gives you no excuse to message me after the content in a rude manner. I was cussed out and called horrible things just because I didn't perform in the way they wanted. I get that they were grinding matches and probably felt frustrated with losses, but I am too. I want to be good at my role, and be a supportive member of the team.

Please don't message me in PMs rudely. I'm open to advice, but being a stink just because you got gold or diamond, and think ing you have authority over everyone is pretty sad. I honestly felt like quitting Paladin and just not doing PVP as the job ever because of the harassment.

What I want people to get out of this is that PVP harassment is still a problem. Muting the feast chat did help remove it, but it's still very much a problem. I hope it improves but I doubt it. PVP is toxic in every game. Even simple practice modes that are supposed to be new PVP player friendly.

Muting feast chat hasn't helped, it just causes increased frustration because you cannot help someone fix a problem on the spot, it made people who probably weren't that bad when chat was in the game turn into total bellends. Actual good players will want to help you because we want the community to grow and it benefits all of us (especially in such a small community) to get along with each other or at least ignore the people we don't like. It has taken some longer than others to figure that out, and those people won't see your thread. Feel free to holla Lavigne#0001 on Discord though to ask something.

I want that gold garo mount but suck at PvP so avoided feast after getting raped on healer,range dps, and melee dps jobs in there. It is why I prefer 72 frontline matches as you can do kills and objectives as a big group and no real pressure getting ganked with no back up.

Losing can be frustrating and I hate how SE forces you into PvP by adding so many rewards in it. Not being able to communicate in feast really hurts a lot too.

Forced my arse, the rewards are not mandatory to progress the game - you have a choice, same way there are many PvE rewards I won't get because I don't want to PvE past the MSQ minimum and the occasional Extreme and I don't have to. On the flipside, people who wanted to PvP before the lvl 30 changes were forced to experience PvE content en route to level cap because without the level cap, they couldn't play.

Just report/BL people if they're going to be that toxic.

I personally won't fault someone for under-performing unless it's obvious they're throwing the match and not even trying. I've had multiple occasions where our healer just gave up and started hopping around and doing nothing just because we had two deaths early on, which is foolish because the Feast much more so then other PvP modes is designed in a way where you can make a potentially huge comeback as long as you're not getting totally steamrolled..

If you notice someone hopping around and giving up, I think it would be wise to try and cheer them up. Let them know that a lot of matches that are supposably over can be turned into comebacks. I've almost lost so many and then turned around the last second. As long as one person messes up bad you can have it turned completely around in seconds.

You’re wasting your time OP, just get back in there and make sure you read the tool tips of each action. For tanks there’s a specific rotation that can help down an opponent quickly. Combine it with the other classes attacking and you should be able to win every match. Fight hate with love. Get back out there OP.

Toxicity always breeds in competitive game play wherever it might be. Which is why I will never touch PVP in any game again, the stress and harassment from other people who will jump at you if you don't do exactly what they want or if you don't play 100% every game. I am sorry you've been dealing with this as it can discourage any player from learning and getting better. Feel free to report/ blacklist them if the harassment continues.

If you took the time to report take solace in the fact they will probably be taking some time away from the game. SE takes PvP harassment super serious. They didn't remove chat to have people message people after the game.

Hmm, I can't anything to help you with the nasty DMs, but I can offer you a few pointers for PLD. Basically, when the healer is around 2/3 to 1/2 health, silence them, and follow up with a stun just before silence falls off.
Also as a PLD, use cover on either your own healer, or a dps on your team that you see that is close to dying.

Other than that, don't feel too bad for a loss, feast wins are mostly decided by the competency of the healer. (Saying that as a healer main who has done a bit of the feast)
