Suggestion: PvP Battle Passes and More!

[Lucikrux]

I believe that PvP needs some kind of a small rework in regards to Seasons. I find that having rewards locked to only the “Top 100” as unfair to any and all casual players… thus, did I write this. Please enjoy.


A Battle Pass!

Many competitive games implement these already, and I think it would work well in XIV. It would basically function just like a Feast’s season, but it wouldn’t just reward the “top 100”.

Instead, the Battle Pass would function like an “xp system” and would take the place of Seasons. The more victories you have and the more Battle Log challenges you fill, the more levels you obtain. Every level would have some form of reward, and the higher up and more difficult to get rewards would be the mounts.

Top 100 can still exist, but have it reward a title instead. Every title should be unique to the Battle Pass.

And in addition to this…



PvP Battle Log

The Battle Log is a Battle Pass specific challenge log. There are Daily, Weekly, and Seasonal rewards, each type being a significant escalation in time required and difficulty.

Each challenge would award some amount of Battle Pass experience, and the hardest ones may award titles and cosmetics. Special tickets can also be obtained.



Special Tickets

Remember Kupo Tickets from the Ishgard Restoration? Well, now there’s a version of that for PvP. These special tickets, once a certain amount have been collected, can be similarly collected for a variety of themed items. These items should be market tradeable, and some should be extremely rare.

As mentioned before, they can be obtained through the Battle Log and Battle Pass Levels, but ALSO…

1. Per every commendation you receive, you have a 50% chance to obtain one full turn-in of tickets.

2. Per every victory, you have a 25% chance of receiving one.



Finally… themes!

This idea is a bit far fetched but I wanted to include it.

Battle Passes should be uniquely named, and comprised of two factions. Both factions should resemble some kind of theme, and a faction’s victory is dependant on the total amount of Battle Pass progress all members of that team have made.

Upon victory, a team would receive a beautiful title, and a cute accessory. The losing team would get a losing title that would be somewhat funny to use. After a certain length of time, old rewards should get recycled into the Battle Pass, and then, later on, into the Wolf Mark shop.


Now… what about Grand Companies?

Grand Companies would still exist, but PvP would remain forced freelancer forever. Achievements changed to match the GC you are a part of, rather than the one you fight with in PvP.


I really hope you all read this and like the idea. I understand if you don’t see it, but it felt good to write it anyway. I think XIV PvP is really good, there just needs to be options for casual players.

I Just started FEAST and i would really like something like this, except maybe for the Kupo like tickets. I have mixed feeling about mount/glamours Locked behind very difficult and in this case TIMED stuff. I would prefer to trow away a gazillion of Wolf Marks since i am drowing in them lol
