How are we supposed to get hype about Feast rewards when we don't even know them

It's 7 days left in the Feast season and we don't even know what the rewards are going to be. What is the recolour? Is it green, blue, orange? Are there any gear design differences like there was between season 1 and season 2?

Why not release the reward at the beginning of the season like every other competitive game? It's really not fun chasing a grey outline with a question mark in it. I thought for sure it'd be revealed today, with it being the week rankings stop updating and the last week of the season. But nope. Still grey outline with question mark.

Come on, release the reward preview at the beginning of the season. Please. So we can at least know what we're working for.

Is the hype that new rewards are coming not hype enough?

No, it's not really.

I bet you were the kind of kid who used to peek at your christmas presents while they were under the tree!

Would you like to work your butt off during the year just to find out you were getting socks for it?

Personally, if I have to put in effort to get something, I'd like to know if that something is worth putting in effort or not in advance and since "worth" is subjective, the only way to find out is by knowing what that something is.

I didn't invest 100+ hours of stress into my christmas presents under the tree.

What, you mean you weren't being extra good every day of the year (except December 26-31) to make sure Santa brought you your presents? That's gotta be at least 100 hours of good behavior there :D

Kidding aside, not knowing prizes for something someone has to work for is a big downer, and it also makes it less likely to get people who are on the fence about ranked pvp to try it out.

So I support this.

I'm really not sure why anyone would even take the time to argue against this. It is reasonable to get to know what the rewards are before you participate.

pretty sure its just more wolf collars to buy existing pvp reward gear or use towards the new stuff.

For people that are going to play anyway it's not that much of a problem, but if you want to get new people interested or hyped up it helps to give something beforehand. This is the whole reason we get patch trailers and such lol. It seems kind of silly to me personally they don't preview the rewards earlier.

Hopefully we'll get to see it in the patch notes

you can't hype people up with rewards limited to 100, 10, and 1 player per data center.

True, but that's how competition works. Plenty of athletes go to the Olympics. Only a very small few return as medalists.

If the end goal is "make a tiny amount of people play while everyone else watches (or not)" then thats smart, I guess. But in that case they might as well just get rid of open queues and go full on with the opt-in tournaments; it would get rid of cheating as well as toxicity since you can only play with people you know, and we don't really need more than 100 people or so playing anyways, right? I mean screw you if you are some bronze or gold pleb.

isnt that's like the normal situation???? 100k+ people watches football in a field with 22 players chasing 1 ball yea? only 1 team wins

season 2, they did that, and the good players still able to climb yea?

Heh. And now I wonder what Feast players would say if you only gave the top 100 (or top 3 per role?) literal medals as rewards - like, necklaces in the shape of a medal. Maybe a housing tabletop trophy for the first. And then imagine what the participation would be like.

Olympic athletes have no issue with that, because the medal is only symbolic. But are Feast rewards symbolic? I personally don't think so. Truth be told, I'm not sure if Feast players would care for symbolic rewards like medals either - I'd bet they wouldn't even show up.
I think the whole point is to be an incentive to get people to please play the mode and I have to agree that it's doing that very poorly.

The truth is season 7 rewards is the same reward as season 5 & 6. That's why the season was shorten.

eh, at this point i feel they might as well double down on the idiocy and not only not care about incentives, they should add anti-incentives by reverting to 3.0 and making it harder to play again. if the community is going to be idiots about it, might as well cater to them and free the rest of us from caring.

There will be a preseason between 6 and 7. They release at least a concept of it, when it starts probably, as they did in the past when there was a preseason.

I don't understand why they didn't release a picture of the s6 reward yet either. We all know it will be the same, but in the past they showed it.
Maybe it is super tiny change and the eye color is orange instead of red this time. I wish they would do something about the shoulder parts from the chestpiece, because they don't really work well with most animations. But that is wishful thinking :P

The seasons practically over and we still don’t know

It's probably just a different color like it said. You will just dye it regardless anyway.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh WutFace?

Rewards are so 2017
