3.2 PvP: Feast Game Mode Discussion Thread.

I'd be fine with morale giving more marks if wolf marks were actually worth something. They need to add way more stuff to den shops.

Definitely.

Materia would be an easy item to add with plenty of demand, and unlike Tomestones Wolf Mark rewards are tied more to victory, so I don't think we'd have to worry about an influx of trash quite as much with such a thing... t4 and t5 Materia would be fairly costly I'd imagine... More of a reward for people actually interested in PvP, rather than something someone who isn't going to bother will be able to farm with any real efficiency...

Not sure what they could add beyond that, though with new Grand Company Ranks coming, we can perhaps see Wolf Marks being more useful for obtaining Grand Company Seals again, and of course Wolf Marks have always been great for Desynthesis... An odd minion or mount perhaps... That's not as sustainable though... They'd need to keep adding new ones and I'd rather they not spend time on something like that... Perhaps something as costly as Fenrir would work, though we'd need Wolf Mark Tokens for that to work...

Relic style PvP weapons would always be nice I suppose, though they would have to require a lot of Wolf Marks... I still think they'd be better off reworking solo Rating to be a general PvP thing, rather than a Feast specific thing, and just giving us Job specific Rating with PvP Relics being the reward there... A Rating Roulette could keep all PvP relevant, and being Job specific could balance out the Job meta somewhat... They could always rework the way Rating rewards work; Rather than obtaining the gear in the mail, you obtain a token that can be exchanged, along with some Wolf Mark tokens, for the gear... Sort of like most tomestone weapons I guess... That would give Wolf Marks an extra purpose I suppose... Probably a bad idea that people wont like though, shouldn't have to do anything extra to earn that gear if you're already ranking so high... I mean you probably earned enough Wolf Marks to just get the gear getting that Rating, but whatever...

Personally, I'm still advocating for them replacing Tomestone bonuses with a vastly expanded PvP vendor system. Not only would this eliminate the plague of tome farmers, but it would also appeal to a much broader audience with almost endless possibilities. Housing items, minions, tomestone items (pretty much anything Rowena sells should be available at the right cost), GC items from all of the GC's (eliminating the need to swap GC's and reset your rank), crafting supplies, materia etc. There are so many other incentives to use to get people to queue into PvP without the need for tomes, if SE would only just make full use out of the vendor system they already have in place.

I do like your idea for a PvP relic (Artifact PvP gear would be a lovely fantasy as well), but it wouldn't make sense unless Morale was put back into the game. There's literally no point to grinding out a new weapon if that weapon can easily be matched by any PvE gear that is currently available and easily attained with almost no effort. If you cannot secure at least the smallest of advantages by customizing your PvP gear, then there is no reason to do it. Currently, without morale, PvP gear is useless. A relic would be equally useless, and not worth the time to grind ... unless you really want it for glamour (in which case it better be damn good looking).

Yes please!!
