[Feast Feedback] Rewards and New PvP Profile

[AlereRaeder]

Please consider adding rewards to Ranked Light Party ... participation for both casual and hardcore players.

I cringe so hard because well, honestly, the newbie groups would get obliterated by the experienced groups. The experienced players will have the biggest one sided advantage for these rewards.

The Mentor System “Crown” icon is currently very popular. We think that icons would be a unique w ...

I like to say that the Mentor Crown icon is pretty much that paper crown you get from Burger King's Kid's Meals. Whoppee congrats on playing the game! Walking around town with a paper crown...wowyoursocool

I doubt anyone ( arbitrary 90% of the community) will strut around with a big "Bronze" icon brand near their names. I guess you can show off once you play enough matches and get diamond, or whatever high rank. Mind you, I do enjoy pvp in this game; just seems excessive to start off implementing pvp based icons in a primarily pve game.

More pvp titles....ohgod

I like the subtle idea of UI changes the most.

Don't newbies already get beat by experienced players? That's life. There could be different rewards for different rankings same as solo queue.

I did ranked party with friends last night and we saw teams from Faerie, Coeurl, Cactuar, and Balmung who were all also new. We saw a Gilgamesh team with much more experienced players that crushed us twice, but that was out of 9 games. It's really not that bad out there.

This is true for any competitive game, there will always be newbie groups and experienced groups. Matchmaking is already set in so that a full diamond team will only gain 1 rating from a full bronze team, and the bronze team will only lose 1 rating. Yeah, newbie groups might get bronze the first season, but they'll progress and hit gold the second season, and maybe diamond by the third season, too. Everyone starts somewhere, it's a long term learning process.

The purpose of the icons is to introduce a new incentive to the PvP side of things. Yeah, it's still a PvE centered game, but based on the fact that SE has been spending more and more time on PvP content, I don't think it's excessive to give PvP something neat to promote it.
