Why is the PvP Shadowstalker set unavailable permanently?

Just have a bit of patience, Venandi, winter is coming. Though I know in your case that it is indeed difficult to remember when exactly.

They must have had a big influence on GoT season 8's writing. It would explain just about everything!

Some Feast winners will argue that releasing those would diminish the value of the rewards.
To what i replay: Everything in this game faces such decay - Why should PvP be diferent?

And i've proposed before, not even just releasing them to be exchanged for easy wolf marks or long grinding achievements.

But just reward a tradable token at the end of each season, this would allow you to pick a particular reward (be it mounts or armor sets) and them to be usable for a set time for the duration of the next season - If the person doesn't manage to get into the top 100 again - They lose access to the glamours/mounts just as if you had moved from one GC to the other.


This way you could repeat the Feast seasonaly indefinetly, the mounts/glamours would still be exclusive and rare. But.

1st - You would end most forms of unfair competition: trading and multi-alt-account.
2nd - All PvP rewards would be on the hands of ACTIVE players.
3rd - The competition of the Feast would skyrocket: Everyone would have a legit shot every season at ALL the rewards, which one is left to the choice of the winners - But competition would be brutal.

Right now most people just gets discouraged from it because the chances of them being rewarded are slim to non-existent - If the new PvP mode has a similar reward structure it will fail just as the pseudo-esport Feast did.


Final Fantasy XIV is not a community of competitiveness to begin with - The existence of "ladderboard content" is in constant friction with many of us: Specially when their rewards are unaviable for arbitrary reasons like time aviability.
This also applies to content like the Ishgardian Restoration: The restoration should be a recurrent competition, not a one time thing only.

This is probably the one thing we will ever agree on lol.

It just annoys me that so much effort went into this design, only for it to never be seen or used by the vast, VAST majority of players.
More people complete Ultimates, and yet there's only three versions of those weapons, but there's so many different Feast rewards, which come and go like nothing.
Even if it remained a Feast only reward, but was rereleased each season as a recolour. So at least you could strive to gain a version of it yourself by achieving the same thing. Or if there was a recoloured version available to buy with Wolf Marks, while the Feast reward version was dyeable.

[DrWho2010]

yeah no. prize rewards from competitions and such should remain exclusive.

And The Feast remain to be a joke.
A piece of content that a handful play.
A waste of time and resources.
And a competition about who has more free time to throw matches into the duty finder.

Europe has 2 data centers because of Brexit. So it's actually 4 and 5. Nice try though.

Wow, you'll count two for Europe, but not three for Japan? It's obvious you made a mistake and you just can't admit it.
