The New Chat Restriction in The Feast

[kensatsu]

as i experienced The best players can criticize someone too but for obvious things, nobody will tanks someone throwing a game.
And i don't think it's not that bad. But spamming in middle of the fight is a other story, i never see the best players doing that, because we don't have the time to do that, spamming in middle of the fight is throwing a game.

Still no response on this, huh?

[TiramisuMacaron]

The devs are already on 3.5, how are they supposed to respond to us without chat? You ever think of that?????

[Vaeria]

Eh...no more chat, huh? *shrug* Whaaaaaateva~

Had countless matches where no one said a word and things went juuust fine, vs where planning did nothing good whatsoever. 8 minute match...if you have no clue what to do by now going in, no strats gonna help, least not that match.

I dunno..actually...maybe this patch was long overdue. As it is, some people (and not necessarilly toxic ones) just CAN'T shut the hell up, always giving some advice about something, some lecture about something else. Feast......just ain't that complicated *though someones 10 seconds away from agruing yes it is lololol*

"Oh noesss...now newbies will have no clue what they're doing wrong!" But gosh darnit, ya know what....suns still gonna rise the next day. Granted, the bedroom walls of anyone genuinely bothered by this patch will have 4 fresh new holes in them after such a match buuuuuuut...so what. Too many people bitching about nothing's why this mess degenerated into the state it is now so.


...its been fixed.



..deal with it.

The best players on the feast dont rage, criticized others, spam negative comments during matches, in fact from my experience they dont talk much.

So the chat removal will protect them from verbal abuse of new players who have no idea what they are doing or why they lost. As best players don't talk much anyway, they'll not lose anything.

Can I complain more now that this is in the patchnotes? I have no room in my hotbars. At least if you are adding these, give them sound effects. I don't care if they have a CD... They need sound. There is also no, "Purify Me". I don't think these PvP developers play their own game....

They should all fit into one vertical hotbar, just put it on the side of the screen and click when needed. I'll probably miss 'Is their healer new? Let's try to burst him first' bits. Kinda gave a personality to that mode, now we all will act and communicate like robots.

That might work for the master race, but Ps4 players would still be SoL. Other than to display hotbar timers, vertical and horizontal hotbars are non-functional on console. The exception is if you reconfigure your game controls for a mouse and keyboard ... but that would kind of defy the point of playing on a controller and they'd have to re-teach themselves how to play the game. This system of "chat" just makes FFxiv's PvP even more difficult and inaccessible to console players, especially those who actually try to communicate with their team. I wouldn't be surprised if most console players don't even bother to try to communicate when this is implemented.

PvP in this game is generally console-unfriendly and Playstation players have disadvantage unless they master W Cross Hotbar use which is pain to switch every second. PvE already has massive skill bloating and extra PvP actions and macros dont help the case either. It's a bit easier for healers because with Cleric Stance disabled they can remove skills like Stone 2/3 or Aero 1/2/3 from hotbars, but for jobs like machinist its a total disaster, the only skills which are safe to remove are AOE skills, all others do kinda 'matter'.

Oh. . . they're as bad as I thought they'd be.

How can I tell my teammates not to stand on the bridge - a choke point - while fighting casters in 8v8s?
How can I tell them the enemy tank has 10 stacks (which is WHY I give the order to attack the tank)?
How can I ask for MP as a healer if no one notices?
How can I tell another teammate to use Detect because mine is on cooldown and I saw a NIN go into hiding?
How can I tell my team to focus the healer that just used all his big cooldowns and is now vulnerable?

Well, the Feast was fun for a good few patches. Never perfect, but fun. Guess I'll just do Frontlines only from now on. . .
