(Not sure if I can post this here but it’s the perfect place for it! If for some special reason you leave it here. Feel free to lock it and let it die out… Please don’t zap mee~ /grovel Gilrein.)‎

Hello All!

So I’m trying to do a few things here and there, to get more people aware of the PVP scene we have here on FFXIV. Here is some of the threads I have made in attempt to build awareness and get more people involved:

Experienced Feast POVs All Jobs/Classes (Twitch)

Community Feast Quotes: Look Who's Coming to Dinner.

Feast Leaderboards are Live (Yep.. That's me at the top of every data center. /Proflexing )

The Feast PVP Player Interviews

This post is a small attempt to generate some curiosity among some of you amazing PvE players. Here are some reasons from me to try it:

• It’s extremely fun and challenging

Once you get into the Full Swing of things it can be highly satisfying. You can get that amazing high you feel when you do something clutch in PvE. You know, those moments when your tank dies and you sleep/bind/heavy all the mobs coming at you and save the day. As OT you end up taking the role of MT and OT or vice versa, showing superior tanking skills and everyone bows to your amazing feats. When your healer dies and you end up solo healing the most intense part of a run!

Yes I know you all have been there and done something to feel that amazing Adrenaline rush. The Feast will bless your days with this feeling on a regular basis I promise you.

Now it’s no cake walk for sure, you will have to put in a lot of work. But fear not you can practice and hone your skills in 8v8, as preparation to play with the big wolves in the den in 4v4. The challenges you will face will be very different from what you are use to in PVE.

• Forces you to think outside the box.

Playing The Feast has really made me come up with some interesting methods, macros, strategies and theories regarding the classes I play in Feast. It’s forever changing and one rotation will not carry you through throughout your endeavours as it can do in most of the content in PvE. This mode really does a great job of forcing you to think outside the box in order to perform to your classes full potential.

• Breaking your Limits.

The PVP skills are there for balance and to give your class a more unique feel and edge over the other classes. Using these skills give you way more satisfaction as you have more toys to play with. (More toys make you happy right? ^^; ) These tools help really push your class pass the limits intended for PVE. You will find yourself feeling like a true Primal in no time.

• Bad sports.

Now sure you will come across some distasteful players. People take 4v4 serious and even 8v8 sometimes. But don’t let them scare you away. I mean when people scream and shout at you because you didn’t “Watch the video” does this always scare you away? Then don’t let it stop you here. I’m not proud of anyone who adopts this attitude, yet I fully accept that it exist… Ugh…

• After being addicted to PVP.

If you’re like me you will get addicted and not do anything else for weeks! But once you purify yourself from the dark depths of PVP. You truly appreciate the variety PVE has to offer too. I know this sounds weird but I love The Feast. So when I find myself doing the odd dungeon, it really feels new again and I really love being able to play two sides of one game. I had a blast just running Amdapor Keep on my DRK yesterday and was like “Wow… this feels great!” Being the first dungeon I have done in weeks. ^^;



Please don’t be afraid to give it a shot. I find (On my server at least: Balmung), when I ask people if they have tried PVP over 70% of them reply with.

“No but I have been meaning to try it for awhile now.” - Balmungians

There are many different reasons people have not tried it, some common ones are:

• Too busy with raids.
• Afraid to try because they lack knowledge. (This was me lol.)
• Their friends don’t PVP.
• Didn’t even know there is a active scene.

Some of you will happily/Unhappily go AFK for even up to 1 hour, when nothing is going on. I say give it a shot in your down time. You may actually like it and find you might be a natural!

Those of you that have taking the time out to read all of this. Thank you!

Happy Feasting.

This group is growing and we are having a great time. No longer playing with people who take things too seriously and we all just hang out in discord. All 8 of us playing 4v4 together. I teach what I can, I also contact the best of the best PVP players from multiple servers to jump in the discord and help provide answers, for those that want to improve faster. It's been a great success. So if any of you who tried PVP and stopped playing because of those bad attitudes, this is a perfect alternative. And you can still get your PVP Gear and Mounts.
