Hello! I am the leader of Revival Wings a Rival Wings community discord for NA, EU and JP Datacenters. Here is some current feedback from the players on our discord! :

Positive

1. The map size of Hidden Gorge is better than Astragalos. You are able to reach towers and the core much easier. Allowing for a more dynamic and faster pace matches.

2. Objectives like the train and mercenary are fun additions to the mode.

Negative

1. The range on cannons are poor for this map - It takes two cannons to defend a single lane. Players use a tactic where they hide at a blind spot at middle to land missiles on the core. If it is intended for players to be able to hit the core from there, we need cannons to be able to assist before they enter the area.

2.Gobtank and Goblin Mercenary can be hit by the train and killed - This is bad because it took manpower and time to earn that benefit. Maybe, they can avoid crossing tracks when the train warning lights come on or be invulnerable to train.

Suggestions

1. Lack of effort from players - Implementing a system where people have to do a minimal amount of damage/healing to be rewarded would help the quality of matches.

2. A map icon for the cannons - That way we can know if an alliance member or enemy is currently using one by viewing our map.

3. Assisting new players - As of right now, if you enter rival wings for the first time, it is very overwhelming and confusing unless you go out of your way to research. We could use an in game tutorial for explaining rival wing and PVP basics similar to how Hall of Novice or Stone, Sky, Sea. Having player who have no knowledge on how to use a mech enter one can shift a match to a lost and causes a lot of stress and tension among players in a match.

4. A more detailed map icon for Gobtank - Currently it is 3 dots, a better representation such as a mini gobtank would help player know where it is.


Most important Suggestions

The hidden gorge instance has not been active for EU players at all since the split between Chaos and Light. Even with our attempts to schedule runs we fail to have enough players on the weekend during prime time to make the duty happen. Some suggestions that have been made are:

1. Adding a Rival Wings daily roulette
2. More community support, upping the relationships between community ran events.
3. Upping the incentive to play after earning the Magitek Avenger Mounts. Such as more experience points or more unique challenge achievements such as destroying the tower a set amount of times.
