How are we supposed to get hype about Feast rewards when we don't even know them

[RiyahArp]

For people that are going to play anyway it's not that much of a problem, but if you want to get new people interested or hyped up it helps to give something beforehand. This is the whole reason we get patch trailers and such lol. It seems kind of silly to me personally they don't preview the rewards earlier.

you can't hype people up with rewards limited to 100, 10, and 1 player per data center.

Hopefully we'll get to see it in the patch notes

True, but that's how competition works. Plenty of athletes go to the Olympics. Only a very small few return as medalists.

If the end goal is "make a tiny amount of people play while everyone else watches (or not)" then thats smart, I guess. But in that case they might as well just get rid of open queues and go full on with the opt-in tournaments; it would get rid of cheating as well as toxicity since you can only play with people you know, and we don't really need more than 100 people or so playing anyways, right? I mean screw you if you are some bronze or gold pleb.

Heh. And now I wonder what Feast players would say if you only gave the top 100 (or top 3 per role?) literal medals as rewards - like, necklaces in the shape of a medal. Maybe a housing tabletop trophy for the first. And then imagine what the participation would be like.

Olympic athletes have no issue with that, because the medal is only symbolic. But are Feast rewards symbolic? I personally don't think so. Truth be told, I'm not sure if Feast players would care for symbolic rewards like medals either - I'd bet they wouldn't even show up.
I think the whole point is to be an incentive to get people to please play the mode and I have to agree that it's doing that very poorly.

The truth is season 7 rewards is the same reward as season 5 & 6. That's why the season was shorten.

eh, at this point i feel they might as well double down on the idiocy and not only not care about incentives, they should add anti-incentives by reverting to 3.0 and making it harder to play again. if the community is going to be idiots about it, might as well cater to them and free the rest of us from caring.

isnt that's like the normal situation???? 100k+ people watches football in a field with 22 players chasing 1 ball yea? only 1 team wins

season 2, they did that, and the good players still able to climb yea?

There will be a preseason between 6 and 7. They release at least a concept of it, when it starts probably, as they did in the past when there was a preseason.

I don't understand why they didn't release a picture of the s6 reward yet either. We all know it will be the same, but in the past they showed it.
Maybe it is super tiny change and the eye color is orange instead of red this time. I wish they would do something about the shoulder parts from the chestpiece, because they don't really work well with most animations. But that is wishful thinking :P

The seasons practically over and we still don’t know
