The New Chat Restriction in The Feast

[Megaius]

Greetings, adventurers.

Thank you for all of the feedback you have provided in regards to the chat restrictions in The Feast. Please rest assured that we have been sharing your thoughts with the development team and will continue to do so.

At this time, the team is planning on making improvements to the quick chat feature to improve communication. If you have any suggestions for improvements to this feature, including additions of phrases such as "Please recover MP," be sure to let us know!

I'm sure you have some reasons for both Feast and Wolves' Den. Whatever it may be.

Is it just me or does it seem like more players are queuing into the solo feast? If that is the case, is this a win situation for SE? will SE see this change as a positive change for the pvp community since it brought so many new pvpers into the content.

Correlation does not imply causation.

The lower ranks (unranked - gold) are active, but the high ranks (platinum - diamond) are not.

So you have a situation here: Is it good that the dedicated PvPers (those who PvPed actively BEFORE the change) are now inactive and not playing? In favor a new players coming in that are likely just doing it for the event, or giving it a try? Let's look at it this way...

Before GARO: PvP Community
After GARO: New Players
1 Month from now: Nobody

I think it's safe to predict that Feast Season 4 will be the most inactive season of The Feast if this restriction is not lifted.

Not entirely true on primal at least. Several of the top 10 are still playing even if it's not everyday (I see alot of them on the weekends). And the bottom 40 of the top 100 will be and have been forced to play as everyday new players climb the ladder and kick out players who thought they could safely retire after only getting 1500 ish points.

It is just you that dew that conclusion, a Post hoc ergo propter hoc, one. There is only one reason for it being so active, and others already pointed that out.

are say the top 30 staying away even despite the event? so they are not getting mount in fear of it hurting their score?

I think in ranked Feast, chat should be implemented.

[MikaIto]

Chat should be allowed it is to important. Seems silly when someone sends me a tell just so they can congratulate me because they were not allowed to in the match.

You are 100% right. But I am sure you have been around long enough that this company can spin a win out of thin air. Hell look at the number of CREATED accounts, not paying ones.

PvE chat needs to be removed before PvP,this is backwards.
