To the Devs: PvP Reward Ideas. [Feast Season Rewards]

[Nirokun]

And this is why I do not like a majority of PvPers. It's because you do this. You look down on people who aren't as good as you at something and you gloat. Good job, really showed your true colors. Welcome to my block list. In the end all I hear is what we've been saying we hear come from you this entire time. "I'm a special snowflake and I deserve the exclusive rewards. No one else gets my special rewards because I'm the most special."

Rintha, don't bother arguing with this thing anymore. It's just going to keep repeating everything. Best to just put it on ignore and let it's responses die.

The rewards were termed "special" by SE, if I earned them it must mean that I'm special.

Now I'm a "thing" and an "it", how rude of you to make personal attacks. If I'm proud of my accomplishments, I'm gloating. But if you make personal attacks, that's okay? Girl bye.

FWIW, I'm sticking around so your absurd ideas don't go unopposed.

It's a nice idea.. however that still leaves the rest of the PvP types without a paddle in dead water.

The whole point of this proposal is to get activity back into untouched PvP content. The Fold, The Borderlands, Seal Rock, The Fields of Glory. The rewards need to all be exactly the same for all the PvP content as a whole because as I've stated previously, some people are not comfortable with the smaller quarter combats that 4v4 and 8v8 offer. Some people like Frontlines far more than the set number vs set number system. It has to do with people's anxieties which I know I have a lot of anxiety when I am forced to fight against other people in a small area instead of an open map like Frontlines.

And back to the main thing; it's unfair to not have these rewards in Feast Season's available to everyone as time goes on.

Your entire aim has clearly been to get rewards that you don't deserve (because you cant break into the top 100) outside of the context of the Feast competitive environment. If you have anxiety issues that make play unpleasant, dont play, or take one of many anxiolytic medications. The Feast still makes me anxious, and I'm on Wellbutrin, but that anxiety makes the experience exciting. But it sounds like you refuse to take any responsibility for your own actions when playing poorly, blame others, and subsequently demand accommodations to make you feel safe and equal to others. In a competitive environment, you will find none of these, so clearly this content is not for you. Stop asking.

Since I didn't see this in the OP's suggestions unless I glossed over it.

Encourage people do Feast Season by giving them unique points through Feast which they could exchange for Feast rewards would work better than adding Wold marks as a means to obtain them.

They could have a weekly point gained by doing 5 Feast that week. Another point could be gained by having the best "weekly" rank and the last set of points could be based on your ending rank for the Season.

So you could have the following:


* 1 Guaranteed point for doing 5 Feast that week

* 1-5 Points for scoring high in the weekly based on your rank maybe have a cut off where if you scored at least X amount of points you will still get 1 points

* 5-10 points awarded for the end of the Season with everyone involved getting 5 points and then the other 5 points based on varying ranks including those who scored high enough to win the Feast items cause then they could actually add in other items that you can only buy with these Feast points.

I think this would be the best way to encourage people to do Feast but also offer other means to obtaining the items only gained through the seasons, since if they do the point system right it would still be tricky for people to get all the items just by getting these points they would still need to rank high and attempt to be the top 100 to get everything.

It is still a very interesting idea! I'd be more willing to try Feast if it had a point system like that.

Having skimmed over the other thread talking about just the top 10 minion reward, I have another suggestion that could be applied to the way these rewards are handled in PvP.

Basically, no longer have them tied to ranking (rank 10 or 100 for minion or mount respectively), but have them tied to the player's rating by the end of the season. Also keep them as possible options for any future seasons.
Let's say, a rating of 500 (or maybe 750) at the end of the season will reward a minion of your choosing, while a rating of 1000 will reward a mount of your choosing (in this case, there's just one of each, but this would apply to future seasons with multiple rewards).

The catch is that your rating will decay with every week of the season. Either by a set amount (50 rating), or a percentage (5%/10%). Note, the decay numbers are up for debate.
This way, players will have to keep their rating up over the course of the season, encouraging them to keep competing in the Feast for the entirety of it, if they want to secure their rewards. This makes it less likely that queue times will get too much longer as the season goes on. It also makes it a bit more obvious when someone is wintrading, since they'd have to do so multiple times over the course of the season.

As for a possible top 10 reward, perhaps a mount that's slightly different from the 1000 rating one, but still uses the same base model. Think of the difference between the two Yo-kai event mounts.

As a player who loves to do PVP, I'm Ok with this. Personally I think mounts and minions should not be added as a season reward. I would prefer them to reward exclusive gear (good looking gear) that they can glam. Imagine a top ranked PVP player queued in DF wearing this great looking exclusive gear, that would be better right? You can wear it with pride and show it to everyone. While with mounts/minions, you have plenty of them to choose from and you can't even ride them in cities or bring them to the dungeon.

Just like the exclusive PVP titles, PVP gear rewards is better than mounts/minions.

My suggestion, rather than wolf marks, it would be better if it is an achievement that you would work hard for.
