Thread: 2.0 wolvesden map added to the feast

Once again thats not why it died lol. It might have been a small reason but it wasn't at all the main reason. What about the repetitive feast matches? where they are all 8min of hot potato and an lb at the end to win it no matter who was honestly winning. Yea I don't think blinders are the problem it's just gone through some terrible adjustments in the past week mechanic wise and the map is abysmal. Competitively speaking WD was miles ahead of Feast.

Repetition wasn't a "small" reason for why it died. It was a pretty big reason for why it died, and it was directly related to several of the other reasons.

Firstly, no one wanted to heal it, because the entire game mode might as well been called "kill the healer," because that's all that ever happened. Secondly, distinct playing brackets for PvP rankings limited the queue pool. That pool of players was made even tinier, because the vast majority of players didn't play enough to rank up to max rank, causing a staggering of ranks across the player base. The reason players didn't rank up was because (you guessed it) it was repetitive and the player base lost interest within the first few weeks. People seem to be forgetting this, but queue times for Wolves Den started to stagnate and die before Secure was even released. On my server, you were looking at 30 plus minutes per match in just the second month.

The only factor that contributed to the death of WD that wasn't related to it's repetition was the Morale system, which slammed the door in the faces of casual or new players. Most people like to attribute that as the main reason it died, and that's fair, because it made for a pretty unwelcoming environment. That said, morale is given more credit than it is due, because barely a handful of players achieved max rank before Secure came out; so, not many people were even running with PvP gear until Frontlines was released.

I don't have this problem, because I do not stack all of my medals onto one player. An instant comeback via LB's is rare when you don't put all your money in the same bank. I'd recommend tying to split up your medal drops across the team instead of letting the tank take them all, if this has been your main issue with Feast. The fact that you even have that option means that Feast is far less repetitive than WD, which literally had only one option ("Kill the healer!").

When it comes to maps ... I'm not really sure what you're expecting. It's an arena game mode. They put you in an arena that sports two spawn points and a couple of walls. This should sound familiar, because WD was the exact same way. Short of changing up the background scenery a little, there's not much else that SE can do about it. At least in this game mode we have some actual scenery, as opposed to WD which put you in a circular stone room that was identical no matter which direction you're looking in.

I had thousands of matches in wolves den when it was first released for many months of great gameplay (i played a lot lol)!!!! There was constant action and fast queue for several months!!!!! Many friends made of team mates there !!!!!!! Feast is awesome as well I have something in the works to post soon !!!!!!!!!!!
