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

[Nirokun]

Hahahahahaha

You should know that the PVP community at large hates cheaters. As fun as it may be to be a troll that undermines players' cherished achievements, we do our best to police our own community.

You do your best but what does it matter if SE doesn't even try to help? I used to do ranked PvP and was discouraged because I realized with 30min queues(matches I can lose), I'll never make it to top 100.

People probably get top 100 then stop playing(No degrading system). Because of that, people can't get matches. = indefinite spot.

There are plenty of people up there who I won't name that have impossibly high winrates. They shouldn't even be there. They should be kicked out. It IS a competition right?

Then as others pointed out, next season will just be filled with all the alts and they will use the same methods to win. And then the next season. And then the next season. And then the next season

Then my point still stands, why are we complaining about a tournament reward instead of these issues then? The tournament reward is fine, what could be improved is:

- Decay system to give more competition
- Limit rankings to one character per account per datacenter (alts can participate, but only the character with the highest ranking counts)
- Lower the number of rank brackets so that there are more players per bracket
- Adjust how rank is calculated
(and pvp chat, but thats a whole separate issue)

THESE are the things we should be talking about, instead a LOT of people are of the mindset of "delete feast, give me hellhound", which is not ok.

I definitely don't want to see Feast go away, but I did put a BIG suggestion list in the PVP forum for ways to improve it. No dev comments on that either /sad ..

But as it stands right now, only hardcore PVPers and their alts and friends will have a chance at this mount. We *may* have a chance at it in Season 4 but if nothing gets fixed in Feast, it will just be another week-long rush by said hardcore PVPers/alts/friends after the patch is released to hit the top 100 and sit there on their collective hands. No one else has much of a chance the way the system is currently set up. Hence my suggestion of an alternate way to get it that doesn't involve the cash shop.

I mean to be fair, hell hound makes no sense from the Feast, Wolves Den/Feast being based around wolves..not void demon dogs, At the same time I agree though...the pvp system for feast ranking is very flawed mainly because of no skill rating decrease.

That's not true everyone has a chance and they don't stop playing after 1 week last season top100 played until garo patch on aether. For example Chaos is still active Rn.

As a former, almost exclusive PvPer in other games (don't do it anymore, and have not even tried it in FFXIV) I have to disagree with this. PvPers should have exclusive items, whether they be mounts, minions, cool looking glam gear, etc. Otherwise there'd be almost no reason to do it. It's a cool mount, but not cool enough that I want to get back into frustrating PvP to earn it, and I'm not gonna beg for access to anything that may be specific to content I don't do.

So you suggest everything needs to be wolf themed? Did you ever checked the very first pvp sets etc.? Man I wish ppl would stop necro this thread.

I was in the top 100 on primal until 2 days ago, to loose top 100 within 2 weeks of season 3 end is disheartening but I still do not want to see it available to everyone. Those in the top 100 truly deserve it for their efforts. I can't wait for season 4 to come, I will try harder in season 4 that for sure. I have something to prove to myself going forward. If players want the mount, take the time now to prepare yourself for the next season.

What's considered an impossibly high winrate? And why should they be kicked?

Also what are these supposed dead queues? Queues have been popping everyday. You say people queue and sit on their rank without acknowledging the hardwork to get into top 10/100. Movement in the top 100 on aether didn't slow down until 3.5 and you can blame that entirely on the quick chat system. With these queues people are still finding their way into top 10/100. Meaning that people are being overthrown.

I wouldn't mind a decay system, but be careful what you wish for. Gonna make the people with impossible win rates prove why they have those winrates in your queues. They're going to be using the method of being a good player to demonstrate the differences in skill!
