Dear Squeenix: Instead of using FOMO to promote PVP...

[Reinhardt_Azureheim]

That's very good for you!

Not related to any responses (thanks for your response to my post btw), you can circumvent the 3000 character limit by editing a post, so you can cut and paste what is currently too much somewhere else, edit and then paste it back in.

As I'd said in a thread in the pvp forum. I feel like the non trophy crystal rewards should be added to the trophy crystal vendor when the season pass ends and the next one begins. Then it's either get it free during that season or earn crystals and buy it later. Though I'd probably do something like 10K trophy crystals for the portrait sets, 15K for minions, 20K for the mounts/glamour coffers

Agreed, under the pretense of putting the Series Pass content in the shop after one extra Pass ended (i.e. Series 1 rewards come into shop when Series 3 releases, Series 2 rewards come into shop when Series 4 releases, etc.), hopefully permanently after that break.

Would bring the reward back, but give "some" urgency to play the current pass minimally rather than only playing when things appear in the Trophy Crystal shop.

TBH I'm pretty sure a majority of the player base forgets PvP even exists until that notice comes up that a season, series, or the Garo collaboration is going to end lol

Makes me really wonder if people want the rewards for liking them or wanting them purely they are gone otherwise...

I'm saying this as someone who treated the seasonal events this way until I said "I don't care anymore".

I do hope the Series rewards become permanently available at some point. If 6.4 added the series 1 rewards and then series 2 in 6.5 and so on, that gives 3 patches or roughly 1 year of exclusivity of the items, which is plenty imo. That's how long holiday items stay exclusive before going on the online store. It would be a real pain if they were just gone forever since no one likes fomo and it was one of the biggest complaints about Feast. I enjoy PvP, but feeling like I HAVE to do it to get the items before they go away diminishes that enjoyment since I have to play even if I don't feel like it. I also like the idea of making the series tracks permanent and just letting people choose which one they want to progress.

As for whether PvP is good or not, that just comes down to opinion. It would be good if the technical issues were solved (doubtful), but I think it is still fun to play. Most people do not have the mental for PvP, especially not in this game. PvP is a type of gameplay where losing is not only highly likely, but inevitable. If you're the type of person who doesn't have fun unless you win, you will struggle to enjoy PvP. That's fine, it's just a matter of realizing it's your personal preference rather than a problem with the game.

Yep. I prefer winning (who doesn't?) but I have accepted that I am going to be losing more often than not, so I've had to turn that part of my brain off while grinding CC. Well, mostly. Sometimes people fail so hard I can't help but feel a little salty. The difference between a win and a loss is negligible, sure, but that's not really the point sometimes. There are moments where I sit here and think "How did this happen? Seriously, how?" At the end of the day, it's a team effort, so you rise and fall together.

they should add those previous Battle Pass Rewards to the purchasable Rewards, after the Season has Concluded.. kinda like Overwatch 1 did it, but without the Annual Lock. That way it would be more fair and nice, which is why it will never happen.

[ACE135]

why are we bribing people who don't want to be in PVP with mounts?

Most players need to be bribed for everything. They need to be bribed with a huge amount of XP and Tomestones for the daily roulettes to get them into all kind of PVE content. They need to get bribed with rewards for every PVE content in general. Otherwise they would do the content maybe just once to have it seen and then never again. When there are rewards behind PVE content, a lot of players do it as long as it needs to get what they want and after that never again. And PVP is no exception. Without rewards the participation in content would be very low.

At most I could see them cycling back through every so often, but then that would probably cut down on the participation a lot, so I don't think it's likely. It might be better to re-add items in a way that they could be purchased with wolf collars, and I'd be fine with that. The Hellhound weapons are neat and all, but I think that more needs to be added to that vendor.
