Restore 8-man Parties for Frontline

[BloodRubyXII]

I'll amend my statement. I do think they should bring back 24's but there's no need for full 8 man party's. There's also no need to continue to allow premades to flock to 1 GC and solo sync queue in an attempt to deliberately circumvent the 8 man removal and stomp on pugs to win pad (which some of them ARE doing on Aether). I would be in complete favour of SE enforcing Freelancer. Do it Square. Dooooo it. #EnforceFreelancer

He means 8man teams, not 8man premades.

If you were referring to me, then I absolutely did mean 8-man premades.

Nah, UnrealTai, but if he meant the same then absolutely not, coming from someone who refused to queue most of the time without one. Unless I'm queueing into another premade it's not healthy for the game mode at all and it's not even fun, it's just a necessity to not tilt over playing with complete clowns.

8man in 72 though sure, all for it. Being able to only play as 4 friends in a 24 man team is ridiculous.

Oh, ok then we do agree I think. If we're getting nothing but 72-man instances, then 8-man premades are more than fine to re-implement.

That removal encourages people to gravitate to one specific GC and solo queue together under a countdown, which can total up to 12 to 20 people being in the same team all in voice comms. Re-adding 8 man premades will encourage people to group up in 8 again, and we all know premade queues put you in a random GC, not a set one like solo queue with freelancer off does, which means the 3 potential premades would most likely not be on the same team.

There is literally no room for arguement against the idea of 8 man premades being bad at the current state of 8v8v8 being removed.

[Wyvernheart]

They could pit premade against each other and bring back the 8v8v8 for all. Actually 8v8v8 doesn't matter if premade are present as long as someone on your team is calling shots. Same for 72 honestly. Just take control, dont sit back and claim premade when the issue is you and your team. Take charge.

On 72mans yeah, fully support 8man premades in 72.

On 24man, no (probably should have specified that was what the first two lines of my last post were about). But obviously 24man is no longer in the game.
