The New Chat Restriction in The Feast

[Kai_Lee]

It seems only Aether as a whole is showing their protest by not playing, all the other Data Center there is still a lot of activity going on from top to bottom. So while the chat banned has been spoken against by all these players it hasn't slow their interest to keep on playing. While some players have indeed stop playing, it just opens up their spot in the top 100 to other players.

With season 3 coming to a close in about 2-3 weeks, I expect once it ends and season 4 starts, the queues will be popping again and you can expect the same players in the top 100 in season 3 to be in the top 100 in season 4.

Has more to do with the fact that people like to sit on their rating more over there than a 'protest' I think. A lot of the PvP junkies on primal have just moved onto to discord to chat while in matches.

A lot of players on Primal have just been using VoIP, 2-6 per match it seems like.

I just want to add that this is doing more harm that good. I used to love the feast but now, it's just not that fun :/ I don't even mind the flamers, I usually mute them and that's that. Now, obviously this was the easier choice for SE, just to mute everyone and hence they won't have to go through all the chat logs(think "chore"). Sorry but this is lame!

How was the PVP stream today? Chat ban mentioned at all? Was hungover all day today so didn't have much motivation to watch, haha.

From what I could piece together, while they didn't mention it, the community certainly didn't let it go unmentioned at all.

Also it ended after only an hour and a half. Turns out the Feast really isn't fun with the chat restriction and trying to PvP with/against an angry community that got ignored for so long wasn't much fun either.

I thought they were supposed to be doing Frontlines though? Did that change?

It was a lot of people proving SE right.

If it was SE being proven right then I say ban chat in raids. People are as toxic in raids as you can say they are in PVP but lets ban the underdog content while SE's star pupil stuff gets held to high heaven on a golden platter.
