5.x General PvP and Feast Feedback Thread

[Ultimatecalibur]

Why is there a massive mentality and mechanical gap between the regions when it comes to skill in this PvP specifically? SE let's do something about it!

Not much they can do when the difference originate primarily from cultural differences. The West in general (and the USA specifically) tends to be more centered on the individual while the East (and Japan specifically) tends to be more centered on the community.

Been trying to tell people this but I still see random threads post up mostly being topics mentioned here.

anyway People day one thing in those topics- SE flips tables does other things

It's like that for everything, SE never listened, for example DRK big topic in SB still we received other DRK same with Healers

This is a daily reminder to add glowing weapons for Wolf Collars. ^_^

A pvp relic style weapon would be cool to work towards for example: starting with buying the base weapon with wolf collars from the feast shop and then having its own requirements and grind to do to make a brand new unique glowing weapon that people can achieve by playing matches and gaining wolf marks for materials to make it; perhaps doing challenges like winning x matches to increase its progress.

We need more long-term pvp goals in general especially when seasons are down.

I really like this idea. But and this is a huge but. PvP isn't balanced well enough to have wins be the only means of progressing. Also funneling people into feast for something like this is probably asking for anger of quite a magnitude. But a long term goal like this with an obscene amount of participation required for frontlines could justify the 72man. A faster more rewards per win for feast. Or bringing back something like fold as an off type of game that can also progress.


Edit or make two tiers one feast and one frontlines and give them different glows. That is probably not that much work either.

A fine example of why we need to organize and centralize:

I am not sure when you started. But a lot of very large threads get ignored. SE is very selective on what they answer housing is also not the best example. So not exactly sure what that has accomplished besides fluff changes.



But if the forums were better moderated we would have a sticky for each Role Healer, Tank, Ranged, Melee. Any new threads that were relevant for that would be dumped into them or deleted. We would have one for feast and frontlines. People don't want to be page 100 they want to be first. That is "part" of the reason forums have moderators.

Get rid of marks for ranked PvP. Change the collars vendor. to offer more than the weapons. Award collars for wins in ranked feast during season instead (collars every 10 wins or whatever seems necessary - do not give any for losing because we all know how that will end). Offer a vendor for the collars similar to the mythology tomes where you can buy old pve mounts and other random bits of cosmetics like the pixie earrings. I know people those of us who play ranked want more things to spend our collars on because atm it's just wait until season is over for reward and that's it - since there's nothing else really to play for when you have most of the weapons and all the titles, likewise people who don't normally play ranked actually want something to proactively play for. There needs to be some degree of reward from playing ranked that is progressively better the more you play it to encourage people to not only start, but improve.

(Idea came from Tiffany/Yan from the Elemental DC on JP Customs discord)

Having played all the tanks since 5.1, I can say that DRK and PLD feel like the best picks at the moment in feast, they provide an instant shield, aoe mitigation and good debuffs on the enemy team. I feel WAR could be placed on the same level if they were to change nascent flash, one idea is to provide a small shield like its pve counterpart, or have an excog like effect when the targets hp drops below a certain % and maintain a hp return from dealing damage. WAR would feel just as good as DRK and PLD if they made a change to nascent flash, I haven’t tried out GNB much but their shield is also weaker, and they lack a strong debuff like what DRK and PLD have.
