Seasonal rankings for the Feast (4 on 4 - Solo) and the Feast (4 on 4 - Light Party) will soon be underway, and updated daily on the Lodestone.
At the end of the season, players will receive special seasonal rewards based on their final ranking.

* There are no seasonal rewards for party rankings.

What's your point? You're just providing proof of what I said being true.

This is preseason, season 1 doesn't start until 3.25

This is 3.21

Preseason has no rewards

8v8 is horrible for healer but 4v4 is fun. AST is really bulky by spamming noct aspected benefic.

Wells, back to WoW.

Yawn . . . Pretty disappointed so far. Just like Wolves Den as far as being a punching bag if you're a healer or caster.

Whats the matter fam? You don't like Wolves Den w/boxes?

It's good enough imo. Not too long and LB not as fast growing as in frontline, which is good; glad it's not a LB fiesta. I've only tried 8 vs 8 though, dunno if I'll dive into the ranked stuff. It may sound kinda weird, but as much as I love PvP I'm not competitive by nature. I'll try and win any match I'm in sure, but I have no ambition of being best PvPer on server/center. Mainly due to RL and time and such. And seing how all matchups are more or less random, you must have a big chunk of luck as well as skill to reach the top. I can even see a mediocre(ish) player lucking it out by getting awesome teams again and again. It may have been better to base you score on performance (k/d/a damage heal etc).

For instance, if your a dps you have to deal at a certain amount of dps, based on rank, to get any points. Too low and you'll lose points.

This is a big problem that they're going to have to look at very keenly... I got bronze and was expecting to be matched with other bronzes. Got a new healer and we were destroyed pretty quick. This mode depends so heavily on working together to get it done. If one person under experienced and panics, kiss your rank points goodbye.
A bit more info from SE would be stellar too, cause the 3/5 promotion matches thing seems like its going to be hell in certain situations. We get that you love RNG SE, but awarding players that consistently get a good match sounds really disheartening....

I'm saying this and I know its pre-season but consider the match making to be priority more than anything, reward good and dedicated play not luck.
