A Way To Give Anyone A Chance At Hellhound Mounts?

[TiramisuMacaron]

I think just be hypercritical of your own play is enough.
"Shouldn't have stunned there."
"Should have swapped to melees target."
"Ugh that was a bad swiftcast"
"I should have slept them instead of healed"
"I could have LoSd that"
"Stacks were bad that game, I should have changed marks"

All things you can think about while playing. You don't need a recorder or an expert to be critical of your own play.

I don't know how you expect people to get better, seeing as their is no chat to communicate that to players. Not all players have game recorder and expert to consort with to show them their errors in the playback of their recorded games as well.

Oh, I don't have those expectations of people, haha. You are quoting what I was using as a point to support why it is NOT solely RNG. You can ask on these forums a question regarding PvP you are unsure of if you are LOOKING to improve. You can watch streams and watch people that are doing well and see what they do. You can befriend people you respect and have conversations with them. The information is out there for those who seek it, so really now, do people not have anyone to consult with, or are you pulling my leg?

In regards to the luck factor, one way you can have bad luck is when a player(in my case, the healer. Happened to me today) leaves the party instantly before the team even loads into the match. Forcing us to lose. One way for SE to combat that is to just end the match as a Draw if someone leaves.

It's not fair, whether you're the one who lost a member, or the opponent who lost a member, to the 3 people in the party that have to suffer an automatic loss and rank decay at the hands of someone else. Keep the penalty for the deserter, but make the match a draw. So everyone can leave with no gains or losses.

Uhh, that only happens like 1 in 100 games for me, and you know what else? It kind of evens out when people on the other team DC too. It cannot work like you said because people will just leave if they get a bad matchup, unless the person leaving is the only one who gets penalized, and even with that person getting penalized, it allows for shenanigans. I won't argue that what you are saying is a way you can have bad luck, but uhh... to what extent? -25 in 1 month overall? I don't see it as a pressing issue.

Yeah. Only the person who leaves should get the penalty. I've only had someone leave my team one time ever and that was today. But I have seen opponents' members leaving a few times and it sucks that they can't do anything about it. Theoretically.. you could boost someone by leaving every 30mins for a free win.

There have been some rumors about next season's rewards being the same mount but reskinned, but they will remain rumors until confirmed.

I posted them earlier, I will post them now with context. It was a developers blog from 03/02/2017. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/blog/

This is not made up. Players can obtain them, they are not lost forever, just get in top100 or top30 of next seasons. PvP community is small and filled with players without an idea about PvP, if you are serious about it, it shouldnt be a big problem to get a good rating. With the current rating system you lose only in diamond matches like 2 points if your winrate is 50%. In all other tier you make progress with a sub 50% winrate. You dont have to be the best player in the datacenter, just beat the system.

Gettin' that mount!

Well there you go then. Everyone has approximately 3 1/2 months to get their stuff together, and we'll likely see another round of excuses then too!

Also remember it's preseason and not actually season 4, and don't expect to get queues at 4 a.m. bud buds. ^.^

Oh I was at it all night dont worry. Had a few 60min and some 28min too.

A gal can't hope?

If you are from the US, then your problem is that you are playing at 6:41am, obviously PVP queues will be bad when everybody is asleep. Reddit has primetime information if you really are interested in competing for the mount rather than complaining about it.
