    The intent behind this idea would be to try and get more players involved in PvP content by having a specified time to queue where players could potentially get quicker matches

    I would only do this for light party, not solo queue.

    Also, rather than restrict the Feast itself, why not designate those times to when rating would be counted? People can continue to play at whatever hours they choose and once that primetime arrives, people should expect the rated matches to begin.

    Everything else I am super excite about. Curious what BLM changes are coming.

    This is definitely a tricky issue. In one way, I do agree with the concept. I like the idea of faster queues for sure. I also would love to get some real PvP'ers into my matches. My off-hour matches have dropped my rank like a rock recently (gold qualifiers down to flirting with the bronze line), because I've been shafted with nothing but fresh players or people with questionable commitment to winning. Having a broader pool of teammates would definitely be an improvement, because I wouldn't get stuck riding a losing streak with the same four people all night ...

    That said, I know that the combination of my odd log hours and my time zone would mean that a restriction like this would result in the worst possible matches for me. I already have very limited time to play. Community organized events like Friday Night Fights and Secure Sundays/Saturdays were next to impossible for me to join because I only catch, maybe, the last hour of 'peak times.' The matches I do get into could be even worse than they are now, assuming I get into any at all.

    There's also a problem with balancing PvE with PvP. We all have weekly caps, dungeon/raid/primal drops, challenges, etc, to deal with each week. Restricting PvP queue times to specific hours of the day could result in days in which NO ONE queues at all, because they have to deal with their PvE responsibilities first. This would especially be the case early in the week, after reset, or late in the week when people are scrambling to finish things that they didn't do earlier. Not to mention when new content comes out. Anyone with a static raid or primal group would run into scheduling problems ...

    I dunno. Maybe it won't be as bad as I'm imagining, but I can see more going wrong with this than right.

    Oooooh.... One more question. Along with a new planned map, will we be getting a new track as well? There's nothing wrong with the old one, and it's definitely not important next to all these MUCH bigger adjustments. I'm not saying we need one or anything. I'm just curious, since orchestra scrolls are a collectible thing.

    And uniting old lv.50 Wolf's Den and The Fest achievements would be a great idea too, otherwise people will never get those Wolf titles.

    All of the changes sound awesome, and are very exciting, but this perhaps is the one that is most exciting. This is a great idea, and I hope that you guys move forward with it. Being able to play off-classes during non-rated hours to practice would be a very welcome opportunity for many active pvpers. It also has the side benefit of stress-free queue times where experienced pvpers would help those who are new to pvp, rather than rage at them and drive them away from the mode altogether.

    LS chat in PvP when, the reason behind not having it is dumb if people want to wintrade they'll use external methods of communication anyway.

    And also GC restrictions lifted when.

    Fantastic post. Super excited to see just how much effort Square are willing to put into PVP.

    Concerning the Feast opening only at specific times.. I am on the fence. Echoing over posts, this could really seperate those active PvP'ers who work at unusual times, or are even in different. countries to the server host. As long as there is a couple of open windows rather than just one, I'm sure this could be tested though.

    Also regarding keeping the feast open for the rest of the day, but unrated, in my opinion is pointless. Casuals play for the prizes and regulars for the rating, and having an unrated option would prove to be just as dead as the current 8v8 unrated. On a silver lining, it would open up fields of glory to more activity during seasons.
