Have "YOU" Tried The Feast? O.o

[MilesSaintboroguh]

People praise PvP for being unpredictable, the "opposite" of PvE, but from my experiences, it's still predictable: Kill healers first, annoy healers if you can't kill them, have tanks hoard medals, have pets harass healers, etc.

@ Blitzace I would love to promote Seal Rock. It is fun I agree. But it's just too much of a drag to get new players to try it right now as the queues are too long. There is a right time for everything and I will take the opportunity when I see it.

@ MilesSaintborough It's much deeper than that I assure you. Even for the short period of time the meta has changed and developed.

The most basic/common thing to do now in solo queue is to burn the DPS with the attack buff. Depending on your composition you may also try to CC the healer.

When it came out it was kill the healer or kill the ranged. Because they are the weakest. Regardless of who has the def buff lol.

So the meta is changing but some of these players are doing amazing things on their class. It's really nice to see the game that we all love, played in a different way.

Ok when I do get some awesome information I promise to post it here for you all to see. If you like whatever you read then for me... Give it a shot.

Only if you like what you read.

In return I will thank you and keep bringing you more. I'm also willing to point you to the correct teachers if you wish for some personal guidance if you do find yourself struggling. I'm not joking if you're a new player I really will try for you. But that will come later. First I just want to see if I can get people interested in some PVP ^^

I did my first little interview on Aether's current top Solo Queue Feast (Monk) player. Nex Cross.

If any of you are interested in The Feast. It could have some nice tips in there to get you going. : )

The Feast Solo is pain and rarely fun.
Dont get me wrong, i really like pvp and especially The Feast.

But its the players which ruined this mode for me.
Like previous said, its like flipping the coin and hope for a good team. But mostly, you get the bad team.

It gets even worse for healers. You re under pressure every time. No matter how bad your DPS were or how stupid your tank was, its ALWAYS the fault of the healer.
If someone dies because the other team know how to play, you have no chance. But instead to keep fighting, your team starts flaming how bad you are and that you should stop playing pvp.

If you thought duty roulette could be bad, try The Feast as healer. I dare you!

Been there done that. Even though I only did 8 vs 8, we healers are the first ones to get blamed the minute things go wrong. Nah, of course I didn't heal you cause you kept running away or going behind a wall. I purely avoided healing you for the lulz.

ok OK! BAM!

[Khalithar]

After playing on PVP servers and doing instanced PVP for many years I can honestly say I'm done with it. MMO PVP always leads to the same set of behaviors and gameplay balance issues no matter the MMO.

1. It brings out the worst in people. The attitudes you see in PVP are just awful, I get being competitive and wanting to win, no one goes in to PVP wanting to lose (or at least I assume so) but when you want actively start berating a losing team? That's when it stops being fun and at that point I'd rather see our team lose just to spite that one person.

2. Healers always end up overpowered. Look I get that healers shouldn't be a free kill and want to be useful in PVP. But when you get a situation with 2-3 healers on team that are cross healing each other and no one ever dies? That's not fun, it's boring. This usually happens, even if you focus one, the other 1-2 being able to free cast from 30-40m away so you can't stun them ensures your target can't die. MMO devs need to learn that healing in PVP should delay death, not prevent it. There is a massive different between the two.

3. Premades vs pugs. Another issue I always see though I don't know if premades are an issue in this game so I can't comment one way or another.

Y'know... it's stuff like this that makes me curse the fact that I'm on Mateus and not willing to transfer... or do another alt. Deleted the previous one after not being able to split time accordingly.

[Critical-Limit]

I don't play
1.) can't make a team equally devoted.
2.) can't learn with strangers because they hate losing. Even though losing is how you improve.
3.) toxic players
4.) no good PVP guides to help me understand faster without having to self learn by making others lose with me to learn.
5.) no training mode where I can create a scenario I lost to and figure out a way to beat it. Could learn from fighting games.
6.) no E-sports scene. If I'm going to get real good. I'd like for tree to be cash prize tournaments to strive for.
