Thank You DPS

Just wanted to express how much I enjoy failing qualifying rounds by doing more then both DPS as a tank, sometimes more then both combined together. It is very rewarding to fail qualifying rounds again and again because you queue ranked while having no clue how to even play your job let alone PVP. Keep up the great work!

*Edit* After FOUR qualifying rounds, I finally got to silver. Only to find out, that it STILL matches you with players who are larger than one grade below you (I am silver, still matched me with the same terrible NIN I have been getting screwed over with all night long who is - ranked).

So also, thanks for the totally pointless thing where you said it would match one level below or above SE, really appreciate that meaning nothing.

I would say something like "the salt is real" but I feel your pain ;-; 'cept I am healer and all I can do is heal and watch as the dps and tank do less dps than the enemy tank.

I feel you.

Although we could go right down the role list while we're at it...

Sorry to hear that man. Not sure what was up, but yesterday seemed particularly bad for new/less skilled players.

Sure, everyone's gotta start somewhere, but where it affects the forward progress of others who have put a little more time and effort in, I hold issue with that.

The main thing I am upset about is that I enjoy doing my best and collecting the rewards, and something like this (with unique gear) is something I particularly like to collect. Since they released such a tragically low number of rewards (honestly it is absolutely pathetic, 111 items total I believe for entire data centers) and then gated it behind randomly being put with tons of people playing PVP most likely for the first time, with your only chance to win anything being to spend obscene amounts of time gambling and getting lucky. Then on top of that, people are in here farming eso and lore tomes...its just so disappointing.

I was just disconnected unfortunately, but of course that is my luck in my qualifying rounds so far (this is my third qualifying rounds set tonight).

Just keep trying, I went through it too for silver, it's painful but things can get better, everyone has an odd day where things are bad, mine was saturday. >.<

Goodluck! :cool:

Just had this happen 85k vs 35k and 40k guh....

Think of it this way. Just get to around 900 or 1k points to pretty much guarantee your spot in the top 100 and then stop queuing for this ridiculous matchmaking mode. Thats what imma do. Atm im near 700 points so if I'm lucky ill only put up with this bs till the end of this weekend.

Can confirm this, we had a new mnk and a bad blm, and Makado did more dps than the two combined ;-; needless to say, we lost and I lost 43 ranking from it.

The promotion qualifier from bronze to silver will be the thing that kills the Feast. It's sick and twisted. It is absolutely unfair to have your ability to rank into silver be contingent upon rng with df and other player's skill - specifically players who are unranked.

I understand that somebody has to lose, but I'd rather lose knowing it was a good fight and we all did our best. Losing because a new player decides one day to casually "check out" what this Feast thing is all about without even knowing Purify is literally one of the most frustrating things I've ever come across in this game.

I'm not discouraging new players, I'm discouraging unprepared players. We were all new once.

The thing is, it's not even new players that never use purify, hardly anyone besides the people in my pvp linkshell does

If you want to enjoy feast and go for the top then why dont you do light party instead? everyone that has done pvp here before feast should have seen this coming. I hate to say it but FFXIV has worst playerbase skill vise in both PvE and PvP i have ever seen in any MMO before, so if you want to enjoy this game you need friends around your own skill level no matter what group content you do.

One win in my qualify to gold, matches me with 3 - ranks. Thank you SE.

hopefully u dont end up with last samurai. drg he comes just to farm and dont care about rank, he goes in and afk after he die

If you are lucky once you get gold you hopefully shouldn't see any more unranked though. Keyword hopefully.

HAHAHA Yeah. After i ran into him i decided to make a shitlist with shitty players.

Just report him. If enough people do the same he will get banned (hopefully)

Just got denied my third promotion to gold attempt. I will quote the WHM at the beginning of the last match *two wins two losses*

"hihi I'm still very new, sorry =("

Proceeds to not use any pvp abilities, team gets wrecked. Promotion denied. Loving your matchmaking system SE, with the brand new players (all 3 on my team for this last match were - rank) being matched with people trying to advance in the top rankings. Loving it.

Match after that, team is dead within 30 seconds. Seriously. SE. Fix your shit, this is a slap in the face to people who enjoy PvP.

let me say something to the tanks:

its not that you are so good, but rather the pvp design is so bad.

Melee lose ALOT of dmg due to positional requirements..and with Auto-Face Target and small reticules this makes things alot harder...1 example is Monk's Dragon Kick which is a must have on your target...150 from flank...100 if not...thats +50% dmg gone. and this is for nearly all the abilities. don't get me started on B4B and it's stupid 25% dmg taken crap.

Casters and ranged have nearly no defensives and are forced to just run around kiting and if they stand still...with 3 people on them..nearly everything will get interrupted...play SMN if you want to see the squishiness in action.

So if any of you are truly skilled players...you wouldn't bother with the easiest job to play if you want to increase your chance at victory..play the hard roles so you wouldn't be in a group with someone who wouldn't know how.

This is a fairly naive statement. Playing a tank in the Feast is most certainly not an "easy role". In what sense does a role become easy in Feast?

Regardless, the times we don't play a tank, the tank that we're paired with would probably nab 10 stacks, be a WAR who refuses to go Defiance with heavy medals and LoS his healer throwing the match at the last 15s.

You should try tank in feast and get back to us on how that feels.

Thank you Tanks for taking 10 stacks with half the fight still to go. Thank you tanks for not knowing your job and just attacking any targets at random. Thank you tanks for coming in full STR accessories and having no PvP abilities unlocked.

There are bad players in every class, you being drawn alongside bads is no different to anyone else experiencing it.

Completely agree. I've lost two sets of qualifiers so far. Second set 3-0 so meh. But first was 3-2, and all three losses were ridiculous. Particularly the first loss where the healer AFKs with us 575 medals up, then refuses to play once returning about two minutes later because we asked why he AFK'd.

STR accessories? That's just terrible lol I would like to take the time to say sorry to you on their behalf.

Not unlocked isn't a thing anymore unless you meant with no upgrades.

I agree 100% agree with your final point , but i think the OP is more upset that there is twice as much chance for getting a bad dps. In addition there is so much riding on dps performance. You can have a boss healer and good tank and still lose for lack of dps synergy , or output. Where a bad tank can still be carried by average heals and dps.

Ha, no need to apologise for others. I'm just pointing out you get bad players in any job. And yes upgrades, or just never used if upgraded.

;-; But but but..... I play astro (which people say is the easiest healer) because I like the class, not because it's easy *snivel*.

Can't wait to start pvp. Need another game besides LoL to up my salt intake.
