Thank You For the Feast Ticket System

Temporarily exclusive rewards = Less long-term playerbase = Less high skill matches = More frustrating games = Less PvP players = Less subscriptions = Less money.

Very true, but to decrease the frustration we can give helpful advice about how to play the mode, not just classes. It's difficult when's players don't want to learn, but there are some that would be willing.

You can know your class like the back of your hand, but if you don't know what to do in the match will hinder more.

Marking and fallouts for example. From matches I played last night, players don't know how to follow or use them properly. Someone calls out for melee and everyone scatters to solo a player or 2v1. This makes it harder to take a player out, like the healer, and ends up waisting the teams and your time. This is are only way to communicate so we need to teach how to use it right.

Kind of veered off topic. But changing the reward style could bring more players to the mode.

This is a hypothetical idea that seems to be popping up more that could get more players to learn pvp.

The concept I've been explaining would still require the player to achieve Top 100 for the reward to be possible.

Edit: this was an idea that has been expanding through out the thread from multiple players

Hello, everyone!

We recently shared some new details during the recent Adrenaline Rush TV stream in Japan, so I'd like to let you all in on this new information!
Before season 5 kicked off, we showed off the amazing prizes via the Developers' Blog!

In regard to the weapons mentioned in the post, the top 10 winners in Season 5 of the Feast will receive special tokens based on their ranking plus an additional 10 tokens for a guaranteed weapon!

Here is the breakdown of how many tokens you will receive based on ranking within the Feast:

• Diamond: 7 tokens
• Platinum: 6 tokens
• Gold: 5 tokens
• Silver: 4 tokens
• Bronze: 3 tokens

So if you are at the Diamond rank and have also claimed one of the top 10 spots, you will be rewarded with a grand total of 17 tokens~!!

Now, I wish we could preview ALL the weapons, but I think showing this one off (if you missed it) wouldn't hurt... Check it out in all its glory!

That's also the armor that the top 100 players will receive in Season 5 as well!

Keep up the fight, fellow adventurers!
Who knows, you might be the competitor who reaches the number one spot to obtain this trophy (rewarded to one person per data center)!


Stay hungry in the Feast and reach those top spots!

Thank you, Sicycre, for keeping us in the loop. I have to say that I disagree with how the tokens are set up though if I'm interpreting it correctly. I'm assuming that weapons cost 10 tokens since the post said it gets you a guaranteed weapon without mentioning rank. And I'm also assuming the tokens can't be used on anything besides weapons.

This means that outside of being top 10, all ranks that hit diamond, platinum, or gold for two seasons get weapons at the same time. I don't think that reward is properly proportioned to the amount of effort each rank requires to obtain. Diamond requires so much more time, skill, and effort to get than gold, yet diamonds not on top 100 won't feel any reward for the extra effort for many months.

Diamonds can get two weapons sooner. But I don't think having 2 weapons sooner is a suitable reward because 1) diamond takes much more effort than gold, 2) you need diamond (and one platinum) for 3 seasons which is a dedicated endeavor, and 3) a majority of PvP players will have already had the weapons for months.

It will be nice to see all the wintraders showing off their weapons when the season ends.

With as frustrating as it is to climb as a DPS wading through win traders, and 30+ minute queues per match I feel pretty insulted that I can't get a weapon after a single season. Top 10 or 2 full seasons at Gold or higher? What a joke.

And their armor too!

Why is everyone so eager to make Rare items worthless just because they were to lazy to get them when they were available? I worked my ass of to be Top 100 in S2, i learned to play Healer wich i hate to play and now people wanna make all that Work worthless simply because they are jealous? No thanks.

It's so incredibly beyond easy to get gold, they may as well just hand out the weapons for participating for two seasons, really.

For reference you can get to gold with a 34% winrate or some similar nonsense number.

well I mean if you hit diamond now you only gotta get bronze next time. Gold is pretty much free anyway.
