Thread: 3.2 PvP: Feast Game Mode Discussion Thread.

Anyone else fortunate enough to constantly being matched with disconnecting players and never against? Just lost two of my qualifiers because of 3v4s from the get-go. Doesn't really contribute anything to the discussion, just venting a little in between queues.
Gotta love Solo queue. *g*

I've never seen a DC on either my team or the enemy team. I have seen AFK players before, on both, but not a DC. It always does make me nervous, though, when I see one player in my party list who's name is grey and they take 3x as long to load in as the rest of us. I always hold my breath thinking that, this guy's gonna DC ... So far, though, it hasn't actually happened.

I wouldn't say that makes me lucky, though, because I've had several, special, people on my teams that could have DC'd and it wouldn't have made a difference in any way to the outcome of the match...

I've had maybe 2 or 3 disconnects on my team max in 397 or however many games I've played. Granted it's a relatively small sample size compared to the ppl that no life the mode with 5, 6, 7 even 900+ games but still I don't feel it happens nearly enough to it be a major contributing factor in a person being unable to rise in the ranks.

On a seperate note I'd like SE to consider giving all players max rank points for the purpose of Feast only as its the only competitive mode atm and as such having less skill points to use because of low rank is a huge handicap. I ask this because with the new frontlines coming out on Tuesday I'd like to switch to one of the other two grand companies as I'm already maxed on Maelstrom. But as long as this feast season is going I can't switch in fear of gimping myself pvp ability wise for Feast.

I'm afraid to switch ... Maelstrom's queue times are notoriously bad, and Adders are ... well, they're Adders ... lol.

Seriously though, resetting my AP points has been my running excuse for never swapping GC's, even after I got my ADS mount. I also don't like the idea of gimping myself. So, as much as I really, REALLY, don't want to see SE remove the only sense of progression that PvP even has, I can kind of see the appeal, since it would allow me to continue playing both game modes without suffering a penalty in Feast.

I'm not about to argue with that, lol. But in the end, that is what Solo queue is all about. Just a matter of getting used ot it.

I had 6 disconnects on my team, that I can think of right now, in 105~ games. Granted, three of those happened to same person, so I don't really know what happened there. Considering how often I have time to PvP and how long I have to wait in between games (15-20 minutes during "prime time"), things like that can definitely slow things down considerably when you start feasting later during the season.
