The Feast Preview
In today's patch preview, we offer you a look at the new PvP encounter, The Feast.
* The Feast is scheduled to be implemented in patch 3.21, two weeks after patch 3.2.
The Feast
The table is set, and the wolves gather for the Feast! Will you gorge on the flesh of your foes, or find yourself served on a platter? Only the most savage of beasts are invited to this banquet─you'll need fangs of steel and an endless thirst for blood! Wait not for the tolling of the culling bell! Devour your rivals, take their hides for trophies, and build a hunter's throne from their bones!
The Feast is a new PvP arena in which the main objective is to steal your opponent's medals. The winner of these matches is determined by whichever team has the most at the end of each match. Individual PvP rating and tiers will also be assigned to players and the highest-ranked participants of each season will be awarded a special prize.
* Season one is scheduled to take place in patch 3.25, with pre-season matches between patches 3.21 and 3.25. Please note there will be no rewards offered at the end of pre-season.
- Entry Requirements
The Feast will automatically unlock for players who have already unlocked the Wolves' Den.
The Feast
The Feast is divided into three arenas, for each of which ratings and participant numbers will differ. The 8 on 8 matches will be held in a larger arena.
* New members cannot be added during matches.
* In the 27th Letter from the Producer LIVE it was announced that five different arenas will be introduced; however, only three arenas will be implemented initially. The remaining two will then be added depending on the circumstances surrounding non-rated matches.
Requirements
* For arenas that require an item level sync, all item stats will be adjusted accordingly and materia bonuses will be ignored during PvP.
* Players who abandon the Feast (not including players who join a match in progress or are vote kicked) will receive a penalty. Players so penalized will be unable to register for Frontline campaigns or the Wolves' Den for 30 minutes.
* Players inactive for over a period of two minutes will automatically be removed from the Feast.
