PvP rank will not matter THAT much in frontlines, compared to the current PvP.Quote:

So the only advantage you can get from higher rank, therefore more PvP points, is somewhat boosted PvP skills compared to the base.
That is in addition to iLevel syncing to 80 (uncertain if that is only from above 80, or if it's syncing up to 80 from below as well).
All this to ensure that even people new to PvP can enjoy Frontlines without being instantly killed by people with much higher ranks.
We also don't know how hard it will be to rank up with Frontlines compared to current. And Frontlines PvP points is in addition to tomes.
Make it so changing GC's doesn't reset your PvP Rank

Sure PvP Rank 'may' not change 'that much' (unless they don't significantly rebalance the current abils/traits... the traits are extremely significant)...
But it's more for me about unhindering the ability for us to play with our friends, period.
I'm about Rank 30 now, regardless how much bonus xp Frontlines gives, heck no am I about to start from scratch. Or impose a friend begin anew... that's ludicrous. -

The faction you queue with should be random. There are two issues I can see. If there is a player balancing them the most popular GC will have to queue until there's space whereas the smallest GC will always have spaces. If there is no faction balancing then the most popular GC will always win due to sheer numbers. Mass PvP is a zerg no matter the game.

It is and will be a community killer. -

euuuugh. I kind of hope it's with FC alignment and not personal. As much as I 'like' Ul'dah, I don't love it, but that's a price I'd pay to fight with my friends and people I have easy access to organize PvP nights with.
If it's personal GC based then fml. Here's to queueing with total strangers all by myself. I would never join another GC at this point, total waste of time just for PvP. -

Yep... This is brutal.
Devs, please don't lock out friends from playing with friends. There are some good suggestions for ways around the lore in this thread, try to make use of them or create your own. We can all understand the necessity for grinds and time-sinks, but PvP is not the place for it. The "magical PvP GC wizard who wipes your battle memory and turns you into a PvP noob again" comment made me laugh. It's a good point though, my experience is my experience and my GC should not reflect that, it's simply a crest I wear on my chest, a symbol of the nation I stand for. Just like the military in real life. Switching allegiance does not strip me of my skills.
An official response on this matter would be greatly appreciated. -

Greetings,
To coincide with the release of Frontline in patch 2.3, we’ll be changing the cool down period that you need to wait after changing your Grand Companies allegiance from 30 days to 15 days.
Aside from this, we currently don’t have any plans to make changes to how the system is currently set up. -
06-26-2014, 03:58 AMParz3valThat's fine so long as you permit us to Frontline alongside friends of different GC affiliation, FC mates or otherwise.Quote:
