[DEV REQUEST] Please make the Hellhound Obtainable By More than Just the Top 100 PVP

[Zumi]

The problem I am having is that there aren't enough people even queuing for the feast that the DF sits at more then 30 min and you never get a match. With the queues as long as they are it would make sense for the mount to be obtained from other means.

Or because it wasn't a timed exclusive. You can obtain those gear sets in the same way you unlock new skins in Overwatch. The Hellhound can only be obtained if you participate and rank within the top 100th during this Feast season. That will never incentivize non-PvP oriented players, which is why Feast queues have already dropped down.

wait what you mean the gearsets of season 1&2 were timed exclusive. The gearsets were also top100 reward. I just dont understand ur post or u have no clue what you talking about.

Can I request that if the dev team decides to make alternate ways to obtain this mount that they wait until well into 4.0? Having the minion be obtainable by others BEFORE the feast season is even finished is shameful to those who work towards feast prizes.

If people want it so bad, at least respect that people are actively working towards it in pvp, so if you don't want to do that, you should at least have the decency to wait.

I can definitely get behind that idea too.

The problem with threads like this, and any 'alternative reward' suggested is you can guarantee we will see another thread by someone who wants that reward but doesn't PVP saying "Make (Said Reward) available to more than just the top 100 PvPers. I have all these alternative suggestions of stuff I personally don't want". Its a potentially endless cycle till they offer something no one wants at which point the reward is useless.

PvP's ranking system is broken and should be the primary thing people are complaining about. Hell, I would also love more stuff to actually spend Wolf Marks on. However the thing about exclusive rewards for competitive content is they by their very nature they are going to be something people who cant get them want and are envious about.

Well... you should of all just gotten into this thing when it first started. That is the way all achievement awards for PvP work. I personally have only one freecompany pvp mount. I have none of the ADSes nor do I complain on here that SE has to make it available some other way. You don't like it..move on.

But as someone has already said.. SE will cave in because they don't want to anger the non-pvper and casuals.

"oh no i can't get something that requires me to be good at something in an mmo"
not one day goes by without the pvp community being shat on by SE, and this is probably going to be another one of those cases. i understand you, but this mindset that you should be able to get literally EVERYTHING in an mmo without the necessary skills is pathetic and pretty anti-mmo ish, you get what your skills can get you, idk why ffxiv has to be the babysitting pegi3 mmo type where everyone gets handed out welfare minions/mounts/gear/etc to people who essentially do not deserve it. if they do the same trick with the mount like they did with the minion there will essentially be no point in doing feast and they may as well just delete it because it doesnt really look like they care about it anymore. I'll be all for removing mount as top 100 reward (and i believe i dont speak for myself) IF SE CAN ACTUALLY MAKE A COMPARABLE REWARD INSTEAD OF EARRINGS.

a comment i can get behind

Maybe this mount just isn't intended for everyone, and there is nothing wrong with that.

All mounts before this were obtainable for everyone with enough time investment. Even seasonal Yokai mount, everyone was given more than 2 months to get it at their own pace. The difference here is if you que The Feast every day for 2 months you may still not get in Top 100, with abudance of alts of hardcore pvpers (who don't do any other content in the game) simply not letting anyone near it and RNG nature of matchmaking. Even the best pvpers have only around 55% win rate; how exactly new, not experienced players are expected to keep winning to climb rankings?
