Hi, I can not seem to find anything about it any where, but I was told that if you place top 100 in the monthly frontline standings you get rewarded some cool items. Was that info incorrect? If not when do i receive the rewards?

The only leaderboard-related rewards in this game for PvP come from the Feast (ranked).
Frontline rewards come from Achievements in-game. -

Oh okay thank you. They should implement a rewards system for those players that do place top 100 otherwise I honestly do not see the point. Other than having fun. They really don't care about pvp T-T

Consider it to be just fun statistics for entertainment purposes. I do think they could do something cool to recognize people in FL who perform well though I don't think the number of first place wins in a month is a good indication! There's certainly people on those lists who have good win rates and perform well but certainly a lot of players just up there based on quantity of games played.
Maybe something based on cumulative first/second/third place victories with statistical certainty derived from number of matches played. Not sure. -

Don't get me wrong PVP to me is fun and I enjoy playing it for fun. Yet they should implement some type of rewards system. I agree with your statement as well it's a great idea now only if they could implement it that would be great. Another thing I don't like is how you don't lose rank in the feast if you stop playing imo pretty messed up considering how dead it is when the first two weeks or so are over.
THEY NEED TO REVAMP PVP T-T -

Loosing rank if you stop playing is just plain out stupid most players dont wanna play Feast only for a whole season they wanna do other things in the game... :mad:
Feast usually dies out because Datacenter split on EU/NA really fucked up the PVP community as a whole there simply isnt enough players to make it pop often enough anymore.
Alts however is pretty damn stupid they need to force you to choose one character to play Ranked Feast with, alts just steal spots from other players that try for the rewards. -

Idk I totally disagree with that if you had ranking system that brought your rank down because you are inactive that would incentivize people to actually play it more often because they are afraid to lose rank. and hey I get it there "other things that people want to do" yes , but that's where the competition lies you have to play PvP competitively if you want to win. Not some half a** get to the top and be complacent with my number one spot because I know after the first few weeks it will be dead and no one can take my spot. Like come on seriously? Imho really bad PvP system.

Rank decay is just an excuse for bad players who cant get into top 100 board. Just play start of season if you cant reach gold rank anytime soon thats on you as a player, because gold/plat is that range you want to be to get alot of matches.
ive done plenty of Seasons where i just get to Diamond and stop because top 10 and and even rank 1 isn't rewarding enough, i could do other stuff in the actually game then Feast. -
10-03-2020, 04:54 AMIveThatFireAI have never played in any season of the feast I got into PvP just recently and the fact that I can't play because of people like you is very discouraging. As in having that same mindset where ill get top w.e rank I want and quit thats not how rankings are supposed to work everyone is supposed to have an equal opportunity to get to their desired rank and the way the system is put into place now does not allow that. That in it's self is just not good simple as that man if you really want to do other things PvP is not for you imo. IDKQuote:

Top 20 I would agrees they are real Diamonds but current Top 100 does not really reflects skill.
The horrible que time is a game stopper for many others.
If you have played first 3 seasons where ladder will show each player's match played and Win/Loss ratio you will not surprise to see players that climb there by corpse piling with a ratio of 20% winning rate.
Feast population size is too small so you need new measures to increase the base player population; otherwise, it is a dead end no matter what.
FF14 does not have a population size allowing rating matching and need a rating decay to flush people and keep them continue to play.
Again, I don't really give a damn about Feast, just express my view since I am seeing Feasters drinking poison to stop their thirst. -
10-03-2020, 07:36 AMAhzuranRank Decay should be the obvious for a game like FFXIV that doesn't have the population for a serious PvP mode. Hard to care when you have to queue at specific times to even get a match and that's assuming you have 20 minutes or more on you to sit on queue.Quote:

Rank decay is pointless with how it's setup now. Regardless of your current rank your highest is taken into account meaning even if there was decay people would just let it decay since your highest is the only thing that matters, beforehand around s4 when current rating was a thing it would make more sense but its always a suggestion that isn't thought out enough.
Players sit on rank because there's nothing else to grind for, you dont get collars for x wins in a season or special top 10 rewards outside of the extra collars, if u dont want the weapons then u simply wont care and afk at diamond or safe plat and thats the bigger issue here than decay which is a plaster to a gun wound... At the end of the day this at most will affect those who want rank 1 / top 10 and will not help new players or lower skilled players. -
10-06-2020, 08:57 PMCommander_JustitiaOkay then, propose a system of ranking decay that works for a small community. You think you can get more casual players on board if they know they can't even keep their rank if they have irl issues to attend to?Quote:

Ranking decay will also mean you take away 'highest rating counts only' which lets people play without worrying atm. So what is more useful decay rating for everyone or let people play if they like it? Punishment or Incentive with no risk?
If they add more incentives to tier rewards aka bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond tiers - and not just top100, they will get players trying to achieve that tier with their sparse time. If they do it directly when they give out wolfcollars or with wolfcollar shop system, doesn't matter. The hellhound weapons are not good enough visually for the effort it takes, it's way faster and easier to just unsync an old raid or buy a crafted primal skin weapon that looks already superior. Put a cerberus mount in there for 15 collars and you get tons of new people going for wolfcollars only, for the next 3 seasons at least.
