The Feast PvP Player Interviews!

[JazzofEtro]

*whistles*

I can see why people are saying this is literally just a circle jerk. Surprised you can't, actually.

Though I have faith in the idea, I think a better idea would be to have the option out there and ask arbitrarily who WANTS to be interviewed instead of picking your specific favorites. That way no one can complain about not being interviewed or feel like they're valued less than anyone else. Pretty sure that's the main reason people are going to qq about the entire thing. I can definitely see why people are calling this a circle jerk, though. Season hasn't even started and you're already interested in interviewing people based on pre-season info. Maybe let the season roll first and see who really shows up.

Whether I choose, you choose or we choose by vote. I start now, tomorrow or after season starts. Some people will still be unhappy on who I choose to do and when I choose to do it. I’m at peace with this now. I cannot win here.

I want to bring helpful info onto the forums that I cannot provide myself. Garza why don't you post a guide or why have you not posted a guide, or a bunch of useful tips here for a job/class that you main for all to see? Don't you think that your input from playing the endless hours on here would be awesome help to anyone that goes out of there way to find it?

But you and I don't and have not for a number of reasons:

Maybe you don't have the time.
Maybe you don't feel you have much to share.
Maybe you feel you don't have the right.
Maybe you don't care.
Maybe you just haven't thought about it.
Maybe you don't feel you don't have the credibility.
Maybe you don't feel it will be appreciated.
MAYBE you just haven't been asked to do it.

Point is we all could do this but we have our reasons why we don't yet some people do. Sometimes it's received well sometimes it's not. Well I felt like it would be nice to have some of this on here instead of the usual.

This person is cheating.
This needs to be nerfed.
You're wrong, i'm right.
You suck, I don't.

Garza I know you’re with me on this and I’m not attacking you. But the attitude some people have about this does baffle me, because if this goes as planned. We could all learn A LOT! And I love sharing and seeing people share. I tip my hat to it. I truly respect it and have no reason not to. The other day me and you was in a party, where you took the time out to explain the benefits of having pvp gear to another player who knew nothing. I was so proud of you, you don’t even know. Why don’t you post that info here? You assume everyone here knows already right? (Maybe it's one of the reasons above again). Well let me tell you people do come here to find out stuff. So people need to see the bigger picture and stop crying about silly things.

Just look at how many views this post has compared to the amount that reply. We have people who are interested in PVP guys. The amount of people that have said…

“New players should not be allowed to queue for 4v4 Feast without having learned or even tried 8v8 first.”

No that’s not cool. And it would not make you feel any better when a player lets you down in feast. New or not. Instead why not go out your way to give a tip or two. Would it not be cool if you could refer them to a helpful post atleast… here.. in the pvp section. Of our OFFICIAL forums. Instead of almost always finding a divided community.

@ Cynric Thank you for your reply. I thought I have been pretty clear on how I wish to choose people.

@ Proudwolf I only have planned for Jammy and Straigus. I'd love to do all his team members. This one is only going to be live because it was a spontaneous idea i had since he has a stream and a Team Speak channel we could use. As for Straigus I'd have to do that some other way. And only give a written transcript of what he said. Which is all I want anyway. The Live thing with Jammy is just something I can do since he has the means to do it and I had the idea.

Whether you admit or not, that's reflective of the state of the game. PvP has never been given much of a thought by SE, and the lack of policing, focus and especially foresight is what leads to this. Initially they'd announce that only solo queues would receive seasonal rewards, with the top 1, 10 and 100 players per datacenter getting said rewards; It doesn't take that much of a thought to realize what the problem with that train-of-thought is. Even for pre-formed 4v4s, it doesn't match based on rank and now it becomes a matter of which team farms more rather than being the better player.

My point being is that its not entirely a problem that stems from the playerbase, but it's also from how the game is setup. It seems incredibly short-sighted to bring it up exclusively on the players.

Ok well I'm still going to try get this information from multiple players and I hope it will be useful to someone here on the forums. When I announce the live interview, I hope some of you can come by and enjoy what might be very fun chat. Like I said it's nothing serious. No one is getting hurt, paid, or up to no good. It's for fun and I'm looking forward to what this guy will share. I'll post it here for all to see if you're, interested you can read it.

Take care.

Don't like interviews on players from Balmung/Gilga?
Simply interview people from your own server. Seriously, what's the point in sitting on someone's thread who has good intentions and calling him out for HIS choice in players based on HIS opinion in HIS interview.

[Proudwolf]

Just do the jammy interview with his teammates involved for preseason interview since they imo are the strongest AETHER center 4v4 party afterwards save all other interviews for post season when the results are in since whoever will be in the those are SE acknowledged spots earned it(unless win trading becomes an issue)

[RedHerb]

Don't get me wrong, I think you've got a great and wonderful idea. I'm not opposed to it at all. I just think people are going to see it as a circle jerk mostly because of the amount of salt players have towards Jammy's crew and the like. That's why my suggestion is merely to have the opportunity to be interviewed open. That way anyone with information they think is worthwhile can be shared and the community can hear the opinions of the people with the loudest and most confident voices. People will always disagree with who you pick, so let the community pick who it wants.

This is a problem. The point of these interviews, at least as it seems to me, is to give the PVP community information that will benefit them, broadening the understanding of the game and how it works by getting insight from the top players. Just because someone has something to say, doesn't mean they are informed, practiced, or even correct. And if they feel so strongly about their opinions, there is an open PVP forum for them to post on. There are countless posts on these forums alone that are filled with nothing but misinformation. I'd point out that tier list thread as an example. It meant well, but at the end of the day it simply wasn't correct.

Look I agree with what your saying, but you're not listening to all of my post. You're cherry-picking a line. The statement I'm making is that if you pick specific people to interview, it is always going to be seen as circle-jerking or incorrect. Someone will always be salty. The community should be voting on who gets interviewed based on their playstyle and their performance in the upcoming season. There are plenty of good players who didn't participate much in preseason that may be interested in the full season and truthfully all PVP boils down to currently is who you party with.

I'd love to hear some names. Also keep in mind, this is about the Feast, right? So why would he interview people that have not participated in the feast?
