Suggestion: Add Astragalos to PvP Roulette

Hello, recently I've been trying to help my girlfriend in her quest to obtain all of the mounts possible to obtain but one of the mounts requires a ton of Astragalos wins...something that is currently impossible outside of organized discord channels. I would LOVE to see a way to bring back Astragalos to find queues for it or make the mount pvp in general rather than tied only to an event nobody is currently running PLEASE.

Thank you,
Recca Hanabishi, Cactuar server

Wouldn't that just kill the PVP Roulette?
Actually better question: People use the PVP Roulette?

duty roulette: Frontlines sees a lot of use actually. right now it just cycles between the 3 modes - secure, seize, and shatter. I think it would be better if they just renamed it to Duty Roulette: PVP team and made it a 4 day cycle which has Astralagos as one of the days where you can only queue for that. Force it to be the only mode available and people will do it. I myself dislike secure mode greatly but i'll still go in with friends or at least do it once for the roulette bonus that day.

Seems like adding it to the Daily Roulette is probably the best way to go about it. I mean it's not like Astralogos is bad content (there is other stuff that fits that) and there are achievements linked to it, so it would be nice to have that extra incentive to go in by being part of the roulette. As long as SE keep adding stuff to purchase with Wolf Marks, there will always be a market for players wanting to do PvP.

SE have said that a new Rival Wings map is in development. It's very likely that Rival Wings will get its own rotation system when the second map gets released.

One would imagine once we have a second or third Rival Wings type, we'll have a Rival Wings roulette much like we have Frontlines roulette.

Yes, they do. It's active during peak hours, not so much during off peak.

Since it's not called a roulette and is instead called a "Daily Challenge"... I don't see why SE couldn't attach a daily bonus to Astralagos as well. Particularly since we're fast approaching its one year anniversary with additional Rival Wings maps nowhere in sight.

Can the roulette in general just be changed? I don't like the Secure > Seize > Shatter > repeat rotation we've got going on, I'd much rather see it just pick one at random and be the only means of queuing into them. Nothing like logging on, wanting to PvP, and seeing that it's Shatterday. Either let me just queue Seize only or force me to do the other ones on the vague hope of getting the good PvP mode. I'd rather it be pure RNG than just had days where I simply don't want to queue because of the game mode on offer, even slap Rival Wings in such a system, Lord knows I wont queue into it any other way.

Oh God, please no... Rival Wings is so painfully un-fun and the matches just so long and boring... It needs a complete rework IMO, but instead I'd rather it be forgotten and those developer resources put to something more worthwhile... Imagine how much sooner SE could have addressed the fact that melee don't quite work in large scale PvP anymore with the Stormblood changes, if they didn't waste time on Rival Wings... I really wish SE would work on refining the PvP we have, rather than just bloating it out with stuff nobody ever asked for...

I tried to hop into Astragalos, by itself in the queue, I waited for 90 minutes. I didn't realize that the Gorilla Mount comes from that specific Pvp battle, so I would be all for trying to at least incorporate that pvp version into the pvp roulettes

Nalien, I for one liked Rival Wings. I wish they could breathe life into it again.

People ground the gorillas and never came back.

If you want to do Rival Wings nowadays, you need to join a discord server. There is one that organizes RW matches every Saturdays. The normal queue will remain dead in NA/EU until SE adds the same incentive as what Frontline now has; A rotation system with a daily bonus.
