1ST EVER FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS ON PRIMAL DATA CENTER

12/4/15 PRIMAL DATA CENTER SOLO WOLVE'S DEN OPEN 8:00PM EST 1ST OFFICIAL PRIMAL FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS

How to participate: Simply que up for Synced (I80) Wolve's Den Light Party SOLO in English only during the event time.

For the last two months I have had the pleasure of participating in this event (started by pvp reborn.com) on Aether Data center. This event creates lightning fast que times for the Wolve's Den. Instead of waiting for someone else to create one over the last few days I have leveled an alt on Famfrit to create a presence in the PVP community on Primal Data center.

This will be the first attempt to create this type of event on Primal so it is important that we get the word out as best we can. The more people that participate the shorter the que times. Definitely in need of tanks and healers always.

You literally have your own thread for that...

I'm glad to see someone finally tring this on primal. It sucks I will be working that night since I have never even been in wolves den since the queue never pops. Would be nice to at least get enough matches for the weekly challenge log bonuses.

I'm going to try to be there (I have irl plans but they might fall through). I've never played PvP because, well, queue times. This seems like the perfect opportunity to start. Schola OP :p

I'm in a different time zone, so I don't know if I'll make it in time, but I'll try. I wanna have some fun matches

I'm the same as Februs, different time zone. I think 8pm is 1am UST/GMT so it's just about doable. Fingers crossed I'll be able to slaughter some of you soon. =D

PS. Don't feel despondent if it is slow to take off for the first few weeks - the word needs to get around and it's also a difficult time of year for many.

Also, don't you mean to queue for "The Wolves' Den (Matched Party)"? Light Party is 4 player groups so you can't queue solo. It says "four players only". But in Matched you can do "up to three players".

I def plan to be there Joe!

I'll definitely be there. I've been dying to try this out again X3

Got 5 fun games in but DF queues were slowing & I started to get peeved about being matched against WAR, MNK, SCH & SMN teams. Six onto 5 isn't that fair. :P

Had some fun messing about as MRD, shame I'm sick at the moment or I'd probably stick around for a bit longer.

Hope we do this again though.

There's a specific summoner that's speedhacking. Talk about ruining the fun...

define speed hacking, if you mean walking backwards while sprinting, thats not hacking

Don't know about speed hacking, but I know there was a premade in the queues. Ran into them a few times before I stopped joining.

Had lots of fun tonight, thanks for organizing this!

Meaning faster than sprint speed, without sprinting.

Seen an astro do this as well. annoying as hell too.

Anyways the event was AWESOME! I never had so much fun in xiv in a looong while (that didn't involve friends). Around 40 wolvesden matches with different classes and about 15 sieze matches before I rage quitted lol. But it was a fun night and JoeNeverFails made it all happen (Well us too w/e). Thnx again guys X)

I can confirm that there was a Summoner cheating, I think they were from Excalibur but can't remember for sure. They went around the outside and got me on the steps faster than I could sprint across the centre. That game ended quickly & with carnage.

sounds like someone needs to get footage of it next week, shadowplay go go go

Yeah seriously, way to ruin the fun...

I don't think I encountered them, but generally speaking AST+SMN teams were destroying me left and right. I only played 10 matches because the queue was SO FAST I ended up getting locked out of DF twice because I thought I could step away from the keyboard for more than two seconds. Whoops.

Seal Rock queues were also amazing last night, between 5 and 15 minutes. I've NEVER gotten into matches that quick before unless someone dropped out. And they were all really fun, so THANK YOU!

I got 63 matches, 10/10 see you next week

I managed to get 57 matches in. I qued up as WAR, AST, WHM, NIN, BLM, etc just for fun.

Had a great time for the most part, however I started running into a premade party around 1:00am from Famfrit, which was ruining the experience a little bit. Honestly if you want to run premade, you should que for the non level sync version of Wolves Den.

Haha I ran into this same premade too which made me stop queuing after a while. Wolves Den is fun but solo queuing against premades consistently gets annoying after a while. Was fun though wrecking summoners in there as dragoon cause they no longer have human shields hiding them like in frontlines lol. Its practically impossible to kill astros in there with randoms though.

I usually go in as a PLD and macro my tactics so that the DPS can time their burst when I stunlock + fullswing. I usually advise any whm or blm in the party to bait the healer's purify with sleep so that my stun can't be cleansed. However, it's dependent on how competent / smart the DPS are since I'm not doing much dps to the healer if I'm spamming shield bash. Regardless, I have coordinated quite a few successful kills against ASTs with paladin.

I think maybe I played against you at one point. The closest I got to dying was against some insane Paladin/BLM/DRG burst/CC opener. AST is horribly broken in PVP though, I really had no right living through that.

But thanks for setting up this event, it was fun and successful IMO.

I'll definitely keep an eye out for this. I never tried Wolves' Den, as when I hit 50 my PVP friend told me that nobody did it and I should wait for the 60 ones.

It's not that no one does it... It's just that it's extremely difficult to get into unless you're rolling a pre-made or organizing matches (either fixed matches or event matches like these ones).

Class/Level/Rank restrictions as well as a overall less populated DF lobbies contribute to this, and some Worlds have it much worse than others. On my World, you'll be lucky to get into Wolves Den even if you set up a PF to organize match fixing. I spent a week trying to get into it (in both DF's that ticked away endlessly and PF's that no one joined), but had no luck. As much as I'd like to get into WD, there's a point where you're just wasting your subscription staring at a clock when you could be doing Seize or Raiding. On other Worlds (especially ones with more active PvP communities) you might have much more luck.

I was getting 5 minute queues last weekend cause of this event so it's probably your best chance to get into wolves den if you would like to get some matches in, whether it be for your first time or just enjoy the mode in and of itself. Only problem is it can suck to repeatedly get matched up against premades (since it seemed some ppl took advantage of the temporary increased In queues to make premades in order to work towards their alpha wolf titles I guess) when you are solo queuing but the matches are really fun otherwise when the teams are more or less balanced.

I really hope we can do this again on Friday, without speed hackers, and without premades. And maybe this time I won't do something dumb like locking myself out of the queue by mistake!

Won 2/3 this time. Looking forward to next week's. :)

It's a shame, because I personally had a lot more fun with this.

Should we post a primer or something? I don't know if it was bad luck or what, but pretty much any match that wasn't a 10+ minute horror show of who's AST can survive longer was instead "I herd about the pvps on Reddit" and people pulling nonsense (including one match where the other three on my team decided their first priority should be the WAR... It lasted less than 30 seconds).

I finished my 10 matches and ran away screaming. Not sure if I want to go back, because the point values are awfully low to watch people screw themselves over and blame the loss on "those guys were a premade", compared to the same in Seize.

Pretty much, grinded for the weekly challenge and was already sick of it despite never having tried it before. Had a 18minute game of chase/kill the healer :( Every other game was whose team did not have a AST = 10 seconds to a minute brawl.

GGs to everyone last night. I was using my Marauder. o:
