Why people don't want to PVP in this game...

[Altesse]

Just for you to know i came back to this game since a week and half, i thought "wow se is trying to do some real efforts in PVP with feast" and decided to go PVP.

Can't go into 8v8 in feast because no proc at all, not enough ppl to do smth and i really wanted to pvp then i decided to go into ranked, yes i took a risk for others but at the same time i wanted to enjoy pvp and i m used to pvp in many games.

Tonight for the first time someone rage a bit and say "come when feast is new" well sorry i was not playing at this time and will you say the same for people who just begun the game.

Should i stop playing in ranked? And wait for next patch to enjoy pvp (i really prefer small scale pvp btw). I came back to this game essentially to try PVP because i thought it could be fun.

I think the dev team did a great job with pvp recently. The Lv60 stuff (Seal Rock, Feast) are a lot better than the older Lv50 stuff (Borderland, Fold).

So the main problem is the community (NA/EU, not JP). Both their attitude/rudeness and lack of participation. The 8v8 doesn't have any players like you saw.

Keep practicing through 4v4 if you like it and ignore the haters. They can try again in season 2 if they lost too many matches this time. The matchmaking at least attempts to balance things, so if you are new then the opposite team is likely to have a new person too.

The toxicity is never really gonna end. You can wait and try next season but it will still be there and queues may be much worse than now since alot of ppl will have gotten fed up with the mode in season 1 and chosen to forego future season iterations. I'm assuming you are most likely getting the majority of the venom directed at you as an unranked player by silver tiers since honestly speaking theres not much difference between bronze and unranked players. Hopefully SE considers limiting unranked players to only get matched up with other unranked players and bronze only.

Anyway if PVP is really the only thing you are interested in its debatable whether its worth staying. Dont get me wrong I love pvp on here but its extremely niche in this game so you might want to consider other options if the rest of the game doesn't interest you as much. Especially if you prefer small scale pvp as the next frontline will be killing off feast (at least till season 2 assuming alot of ppl come back for season 2).

If you love it enough to stay you should just pvp now, like i said the toxicity will still be there next season you cant run from that so may as well endure it and get acclimated with dynamics and mechanics of feast for future seasons. Cant have thin skin with feast because the venom only gets worse when u reach gold lol.

Well you can always do frontlines It does take sometime for ques to pop but you could always try and learn there you can also go to wolves den and try to do your rotation on dummy with pvp skills once ur set u can try to do 4v4 you can come play with us as maelstrom where half the time we dont have healers lel.

You can always used FFXIV for other aspects of gameplay and PVP in a game made for PVP . I go to HoTS when I want to PVP, Overwatch is pretty popular too.

I will try the new Frontlines though, Frontlines has always been pretty fun. The arena based PVP in FFXIV isn't that good though .

In short, no. You should never let the bad attitudes of a few self-entitled players dictate what you should do with a game.

Ranked PvP is there for everyone to play, so feel free to hop in and play it. Honestly, now is probably the best time to start. Firstly, if you want to improve then you'll have to play 4v4. 8v8 and Frontlines (especially Frontlines) aren't going to do much to prepare you for smaller game modes like 4v4. So, your best practice will be in ranked games. Secondly, the season is almost over. If players haven't gotten to the rank they want to be at by this point, they probably aren't going to. So, don't let their pissy attitudes taint your experience. Spend the time learning. If you enjoy it, then keep playing and improve. If not, then oh well. So long to the assholes you got shafted with in that match.

Because the fights aren't scripted.

yeah i came back to this game too hopeing PVP became a thing since the feast update but i stil cant find any matches , exept for shatter since its new it has some matches somtimes but still not enough , i think the problem for beginers in the feast is that they have no rank and the only people playing it are the people who have already ranked up and tier up so thats why you dont find any matches ( 0 so far for me) , so im hopeing with the next season we will get more chances to find matches since everybody resets.

its not fun in this game. There no fun strategy involved. Not a fan of MMO PVP, but guild wars 2 pvp got it right with the world vs world thing. Taking over castles/supply routes was fun.

I'm silver rank, and I now wait for almost 4 hours to play 4 on 4 I'm almost to a point that I'm giving up on feast till next season.
