5.2+ General PvP and Feast Feedback Thread

1] Remerge DCs - Consider if it should be top 100 or 200

Keeps competition higher, Queues faster, Different opponents and jobs faced over matches

2] Better Server ticks in feast instances

Responsiveness has always been an issue higher ticks would solve a lot of feasts bugs and clunky feel.

3] Add old maps / Make a new arena

We've had the crystal grounds for how long now? Years? It's extremely stale looking at the same blue and yellow map its time for old maps in rotation and even a fresh new map (and yes even the big round infamous "mario kart" crystal ground map!)

4] Wolf collar shop having more rewards

There needs to be more incentive for players who didnt get or dont want the top 100 reward... This can come with brand new glams / mounts / weapons even the option to buy special dyes or pvp style housing items every few seasons, most pvp players who play consistently have an overabundance of collars with nothing to buy

5] Mount Reskin BGM

This is minor however I think it would make the mount more unique and worth getting for those who go after the 1st version of the Top 100 mount for the reskin version to have the feast culling theme "Dangertek" added to it, Most pvpers who get the 1st mount usually aren't very motivated to go for the reskin since not much changes compared to glam reskins.

I hope that Nascent Flash change applies to PvP, but I'm afraid it won't since it wasn't included in the PvP-specific patch notes.


The way it works now, not needing a target, works well for The Feast. It would be at a disadvantage to use it without a target, as then you are missing out on healing/DR. With Rival Wings, however, it can be much harder to secure a party member to use it on, as even if you have a coordinated team there's just a lot of reasons for splitting up often, especially when your fourth needs to grab a new rig or is operating an Oppressor.

Hey, so I wanted to crosspost this from another thread I was just saying this in, seeing as this is our PVP megathread. I highly suggest taking your ideas and concerns to the JP forums in a constructive manner. It isn’t our turf, however they have been very hospitable and communicative with the comments I have left in their forums. I feel like due to the higher volume of traffic on their JP forums, Square is bound to pay more attention to those threads, so I highly encourage you guys to take your issues there as well, in a polite, cordial, and subdued manner. You will have to post in Japanese though, so I suggest taking your time in composing your translations, and provide your original English source as well. Make it clear that you are using translation software.

Tips for Google Translate: Write short, straightforward sentences. Try not to use compound sentences, similar to writing like a caveman. Additionally, try to browse their forums with page translation to pick out their keywords they use for niche PVP terms. They won’t necessarily translate clearly into English, but you can infer what they are talking about, and then use that translated phrase in your English —> Japanese translations. I forget what keywords I discovered back when I was posting.

TL;DR Keep it short and sweet and your translation will get your point across.

This seems to be their main PVP megathread.

I really hope they remove the party requirement for Nascent Flash in PvP in an upcoming patch. Maybe 5.31 or 5.35. Losing out on so much healing in Rival Wings or Frontlines because no party members are close by feels really awful.
