The New Chat Restriction in The Feast

[abbas]

SE please remove the new chat macros please! people bash me and spam " NICE JOB! " when i fail at something during match or when i pve raise someone in 8v8 matches
It hurt me every time.. i can't handle the stress and can't even reply to very toxic players in chat .. i cant enjoy grinding garo mounts like this >.<

After so man 8v8 I can say that they ruined it. I cant tell my team what they need to do to win anymore while the no lifer pvpers stay partied up and ruin it for everyone else.
Should NOT be allowed to party up in 8v8, its ruining it and making it more toxic then it ever has before.

We cant help players get better if we cant talk to them. Meanwhile the no lifers are farming noobs nonstop.

As I see it, if someone takes a glimpse at which server your from. They'll take up their pent up anger on that individual if they're on the same server VIA PM.


Otherwise, I hate how I can't ask our team to change into a healer. It's getting common now where our party gets a solo healer and fails.

And to win a solo healer match, our healer needs to stay back and kite. Which they typically don't and it also becomes the dps fault because none is targeting the out of heal range drg/mnks/ninjas that are destroying the healer. I don't see a protect the healer option anywhere.

I've never felt like I had reason to post in the forums until now, this new chat system is one of the worst decisions implemented in this game and I felt I needed to voice my opinion along with all of you to have this change reversed. In PVP communication is necessary for a team to work in unison and to achieve victory, now its hard to even get a team to focus targets, marcos to let you know what people are doing don't work and its an all around scramble. Not only that but in the fast paced fights that feast matches often are, having another hotkey to press to send out premade messages is just silly. Entering matches now feel awkward and impersonal and I sincerely hope SE does the right thing and removes this terrible feature they've implemented, and fast.

I want to correct something right away:

Many of us have been enjoying PvP long before the Garo event, and through playing regularly, matching against one another, and sharing strats and techniques, we became good. Please do not disrespect the effort we put in to excel at what we enjoy by calling us "No Lifers"
We party together (only groups of 2 can party together in 8v8 Feast) in order to ensure we have a teammate we can rely upon or coordinate with during the fight, and many of us have fought each other before, thus we have a strong knowledge of what we can all do. And by that, what a newer player cannot do.
The disabled chat is a terrible thing in that we can no longer share the benefits of our experience with newer players and teach them what we know, or even advise them to follow our lead (in hopes that they learn), and THAT is where the problem truly lies.

Do not blame us more experienced PvPers for being good and working together. Blame SE for preventing newer players from learning to do the same as we did, or allowing us the most effective means to do so.

Yeah, and let's remove the friends list too! And linkshells! In fact, let's just make this a single player game!

I cant take someone's frustrated opinion of us roflstopming new players on purpose with buddies to drink their tears. What I do is fun for me so you cant be mean. I am fully aware 8v8 is for training but I want it easy so i'll go where the new players pile up so that I may feast on someone below my pvp skill while they are at their most vulnerable.

Cool to know you're thin skinned.

You know fully well what you and your comrades are doing going into 8v8 the way it is currently. To get fast wolf marks off the backs of newer players to pvp so I dont want to see excuses since anyone would do what you do in your position and own up to it rather then play a victim. PvP is about picking the most bursty classes rather then actual skill. Maybe I wouldn't be so jaded if my main (BLM) wasn't so gimped in feast the way it is. But lets keep this on the topic of chat and not what players think of others.

Fix it SE. Its gonna be even more dead then it was before this event if chat is kept off. The only ones that will be left playing are the feast season no lifers that shut everyone else out once they reach an acceptable rank. Maybe balance pvp skills/rankings/progresion to where all classes can enjoy it but work on correcting your mistake with chat first. I can only hope in 4.0 they will do a slight overhaul of the system.

or make a mode just for premades. Which they already have for 4v4.

Grouping up with friends and other players shouldn't be discouraged as a negative thing, its smart to party up with people who know how you play and who you play well with as well as better party communication and they shouldn't miss out on the 8v8 madness just because they want to do so as a group, segregating them for it isn't a solution. Theres no reason to call anyone "no lifers" or "thin skinned" just because they actively pursue a more competitive aspect of the game, in any game that's player versus player there will always be the good, the bad, the new and everything in between. At least before against a premade you could strategize, now I just see players getting frustrated because they can't voice any improvements how others should be playing depending on the situation, so they give up because its hopeless unless your team can somehow read your mind.

I agree with you on the point that it needs to be fixed very quickly or its going to be even more dead than it was before.

Yeah, because duo queuing in a 100% casual, just for fun, 8v8 mode is such a big deal.
