Make it so changing GC's doesn't reset your PvP Rank

Look at our Chocobos in Combat, dont they have a flag?

Honestly I'd have thought the Maelstrom would be more eager to have me, I'm a pretty important high ranking potential defector from the Immortal Flames after all. I'm not some nobody chump (lore wise at least) so why should I start right at the bottom?


Hmmm, actually, that would be pretty cool. If the other GC's would try and poach you if you're doing brilliantly in Frontlines.

No it doesn't work that way. You get tortured and brainwashed by a magician from your old GC before you defect so you can't disclose the secret on how to do the super duper exclusive Flames salute to the Maelstrom. Yea, GC based PVP is all about the lore so might as well start writing some to make some damn sense right???

SE, please just announce whether or not FC GC Allegiance will allow us to play with FC Members or not.

So we can prepare (1) if you're gonna enforce us switching GC's to play with our friends.

So we can (2) lay this to rest.

I am a Turncloak. i have been in all 3 GC's to snatch their minions before returning to my beloved Twin Adders.

I think it got lost somewhere, but here is what I said

PVP Rank from Wolf's Den, should be completely separated from Frontlines. Have everyone start at Rank 0 Frontline PVP.

Because: If PVP40 allocated things dont count in Frontlines, why connect it.
But: If the PVP40 allocated tings DO count. They would be a major handicap for people just jumping in. I know morale doesn't count. But I haven't figured out yet how it is with the other PVP Attained things

And If I saw that right, the high iLvL PVP stuff also is slightly better than some of the PVE things, even without including morale.

I would think that this system is for people that have done ZERO pvp. The hi rank pvpers are not going to fill teams of 8. Its going to be casuals that enjoy larger more team based less twitch reaction.

And has been mentioned a few times. They should maybe move wolves den into its own little universe separate from all new pvp. Then there would be no reason to complain to switch on day 1.

that's pretty much what i have done, but i am cheaper xD i like the immortal flames best but i am currently of the twin adder because it was the last one i went too.

so now i am just sticking with it till gc rank increase will max it out and get any goodies i can go through them all again and end on my flames. of course i might change because of frontlines if i find it fun

Nothing else but this. Getting tired of community rep saying vague stuffs and the devs dodging around this subject.

• Chat channels
  While participating in Frontline, certain chat channels will be restricted.
  
  • Tell/LS/FC chat channels
    It will not be possible to use these chat channels as we would like to prevent players that are in different Grand Company groups from leaking information such as player position, job setup, etc.
    
  • Say/Yell/Shout chat channels
    These chat channels will be available for use while in Frontline; however, only your group will be able to see it.
• Queuing
  As long as you are part of the same Grand Company, you’ll be able to queue up with others.

Still no clear answer as to FC-GC Affiliation :(

If what I interpret is correct, FC Affiliation means nothing in frontline. Which means only our individual GC affiliation matters.

Solo queue it is.

So I can't do Frontline with some of my friends because we aren't in the same GC? And they expect us to change GC after all the time we spent getting our PvP rank? I.. just.. don't.. even..

This kind of badly thought desing desicions is dangerously becoming to frequent and may become an issue if no corrections are made.

Players already have to deal with INSANE ammounts of grind through the PvP ranks and PvP gear which makes the grind even longer because no one wants to do PvP precisely for that. Now, you are forcing people to choose content and even making groups of players having to lose their progress in PvP ranks, which could be easily at least 4.000 battles because of this Frontlines GC system.

Changing from GC to GC should not affect PvP rank, is that simple.

Not to mention prices of Wolf Mark gears should be drastically reduced to incentive people to get into both, the frontlines and PvP.

You know what's even better than spending 130 hours grinding win trades to Rank 40 in PvP? Doing it 2-3 times so you can do Frontlines with your friends. Because I have a month to spare to grind that out.

Lack of awareness from dev team is very troubling. Do they believe we all have OCD? Are we meant to die in net cafes grinding out pointless nonsense? Or is it a trick, and we're supposed to ignore the troll content entirely instead of grinding it out?

Reminds me of when FFXI team wouldn't change Fafnir/Nidhogg for years and years to a pop NM because "Hey guys, fighting a dragon at the top of a giant tree is SO EPIC, you should thank us for this epic opportunity!" when in reality you could kill it with less than a full PT (so epic...), just had to camp it religiously as if you had no life, then worry about getting mpk'd on top of trying to claim over botters... all the while watching the most vile text fly by in say/shout. Amazing.

Even better is when you try to grind out to 40 legitimately... and will have to forsake all that for Frontlining with your friends.

130 hours of win-trading is nothing, try 500 hours of legit queues & gambling wins/losses.

Why disable FC chat, when it is FC-GC-Affiliation -> it will be true GC vs GC and you will fight against your friends! :(

When will SE learn that the more restrictions they put into systems to make sure players dont play "cheap" just end up in players doing exactly the opposite as they plan?

Look at PvP fixed matched being the far mayority of matches played and tell me how the whole chat restrictions went. Chat restrictions in this day and age have no place in a decent MMORPG... Can someone at SE please step it up and realize we are in the year 2014.

Time to allow for FC GC Affiliation queueing... Locking us out from our playing alongside each other is getting really old.
