2.4 Frontlines is...pretty good

So after almost one week, i can say i really enjoy the new frontline much more then before. The changes to spawn times are really good because you dont have to worry about getting overran by two groups (Sure, can still be a thing, but at least not in the first minutes). And of course the fact that empty party slots fill up before the games starts.

I also like that team B doesnt get a limit before the node spawns most of the time. This makes the fight on the node a lot more intense.

Also no "fake" castings of limitbreaks anymore. That was annoying as hell before 2.4.

Besides the whm nerfs i quite like this update. :)

Best part is Mael only wins 90% of the time, not 95%.

Nah, its still 95%. 10 matches this morning, all Mael wins. I'm getting FIRST place EXP for SECOND place matches, because the "never get first" streak is so long. No one can topple mael on the Primal Data center. F**king bullcrap...

Damage increase feels off. There is way more damage floating around. They nerf blms yet everyone else dps seems to be higher. I have had 28 matches this week. Notice the number of healers are down, squishier then ever. Interrupts still the same or maybe worse. Dps heal themselves making one on one longer if they are dumb enough to jump and slow me down.

To the comments about one side pounding the other. Do you check the party make up afterwards. That is the biggest advantage of premades. Don't get stacking of the mediocre class that doesn't help. If you have more then 4 tanks less then 4 healers more then 10 bards you might as mail in first place. Also if they are so good why are you not talking to the third grand company and pushing from both sides. No premade is going to win if both grand companies push one and ignore each other.

Curious how you would go about organizing such a feat when communications between the GC's in there isnt possible. At least not directly. That swiftcast blm nerf I agree was unnecessary and was so huge. A swiftcast flare now does such laughable dmg to me on drg even despite drg's inherent susceptibility to magic dmg. The effects of the whm nerfs have also been pretty exposing for lesser skilled whms as the loss of the extra regens/medica IIs have made them even easier to kill since they dont know how to properly utilize their pvp and cc abilities.

Are you telling me you never check the after match and look to see who is queing from your server. You never good naturedly talk to other people about matches. Hell I bet some people are probably on some chat during the matches. The pvp community isn't that big.

Exactly, that communication is taking place. I know of several people who are utilizing TS and other chat servers to communicate while PvPing.
