Feast (Light Party) and Boosting

ignore this and i drop this game forever

Hopefully they learn a lot from this inaugural season of Feast because a lot went wrong and there are plenty of things to fix and improve on. Aside from the hacking/boosting, the way everyone just retired once they got 1050+ points is pretty sad considering its supposed to be the only real competitive mode in the game (this is a player based problem though of which even I am guilty of). The low and almost non existant interest in light party feast is another problem, there are way too many silvers in the top 30 for each data center when there shouldn't be any silvers in the top 30 at all. Dark Knight still sucks, Ninjas can still hide with heavy medal, the increased adrenaline crate frequency is lame, heavy medal stacks are too easy to accumulate imo (first kill gives a stack already? really?) the list goes on and on.

if they wanted feast to succeed, especially in the first season, they should never have put out shatter so quickly, period.

one of their worst pvp decisions by a mile, and there's a laundry list of them.

Based on the top stickied thread and GM interactions had before and after this post, there is no reason to expect any sort of direct response. I continue to monitor the leaderboard and the queues, and I still encourage others to do the same.

Yeah a very foolish move. Season should have been done at the same time of Shatter's release.

At this point, what upsets me is that no one even does feast anymore.

I look at all of the data centers and never see activity unless it's on Mana (There's been activity there quite often).

Hate to say it but someone cheating the system now doesn't even matter...there is no competition anymore in the Feast. It's dead...how will people even get on the leaderboards if it's never active?

One would say that's exactly why it matters. If it is deemed that they played the system, they took the spots of a lot of people who won't even get a chance to even fight and take back their spots because it's not active.

Was there really a need to bump a thread 4 hours after the previous post on a forum with this little activity? It's not like it left the first page. It even highlights what you haven't read yet!

Of course it was necessary.

It's probably against the forum rules.

So if the post is removed we'll know the threads at least been seen.

My problem is mainly solo que. I'm very salty with how it died out. People just quit playing 100% and I have no way to be competative anymore... why even have leaderboards if no one actually plays the content after they get to the top? Might as well end every season in one or two weeks if that's the case...

People sit at the top because, at the top, losing means much more than winning. If you've clawed your way to the top through all the bads, it's a smart decision to stop risking your position by queue'ing for matches where you could be matched against bad players (repeatedly). I dropped from 20th or so to 34th on my data center after a string of losses and stopped queue'ing for matches with everyone else. I have 11 wins to go before the mount, and while I really want the mount, it's too risky while points still matter. I can get the mount next season.

To make things worse, because matches are so sparse, if you drop off the leaderboard there's a very high chance you won't even have the opportunity to claw your way back up again. The only way to remedy this is for your performance to be based on solo-play, but you cannot do that in a team match.
