Frontlines is a good addition to the game. I've had a lot of fun with it and I'm sure others have! I feel the biggest issue with Frontlines is the fact that the gear we can get from PvP won't be useable by the majority of people for a long time. With the rate of PvP Experience in Frontlines, it's going to be a good month or two before I have the Rank needed to be able to glamour all the pretty armours.
This kind of removes the incentive with so much else to do. Frontlines is fun, but that's about all it has going for it. There are much faster methods of myth farming out there and my Soldiery is usually capped on the first day of the week. This leaves just the fun, but too much of a good thing will of course ruin it for one's self.
This is why I feel you should either lower the requirement on PvP Rank needed to equip the i100 glamour pieces, or remove that requirement altogether. There's some really good, unique looking armours that are just going to be dusty to the vast majority of people, as they're unlikely to grind out the PvP Rank required to use them. It will take a really long time for somebody new to PvP to grind to 40!
Of course, my motivation is I just want a pretty snake wrapped around my breasts... :)
Please let us Glamour all PvP Gear at any PvP Rank

It took about 6 months of work to earn a "pretty snake" for most players. It shouldn't take more than 5 weeks for a new player now a days.
Ain't much of a grind anymore. -
07-13-2014, 08:46 PMSeleneVenizelosThere wasn't much else to do then. Why should we be expected to spend that much time farming glamour items when they're even more irrelevant? :)Quote:

Why? Do or do not.
You can earn it before SE gives into this sort of pandering. So just have fun, earn your pretty snake like the rest of them.
Again, a few weeks of work = pretty snake.
Waiting for them to completely change the way they coded armor? Dunno when they can help you. But don't wait for SE. Help yourself. Have some fun. And reinforce the PvP ques if you want PvP armor. Even if its just for vanity. -
07-13-2014, 09:48 PMSeleneVenizelosI'm not here to debate the whether tos or the why fors of whether they should or shouldn't change it. Argue with yourself, I really don't care. I just thought I'd ask them. I'll be doing Frontlines anyway for it, but maybe they'll save me some time by changing it before I'm done. ;)Quote:

Ohh wasn't debating, just explaining the reality of the situation versus the fantasy. Reality usually wins, so don't wait for this question to be answered. Just earn the pretty armor ^_^. Just trying to help you get there.

Hitting rank 40 is so easy now, just play frontlines and have fun. Glamouring pvp gear at any rank is a terrible idea...

even if you come in 3rd in all frontlines campaigns, it would only take 575 matches, its not that hard. besides easy come easy go, you don't feel as attached to it. if you work hard, you will see your hard work everyday when you do have those glamors. besides when you do get to 38, you will have enough to buy about 2.5 sets if you buy pieces along the way and not other lower ilvl gear(no point in frontlines). its what i am doing, and i am at about 40 matches.

I would love for them to let you use the pieces as glamor without rank; that would incentivize me to keep doing pvp since I would get new glamor pieces along the way. Having to wait till rank 30-40 to start using the sets means I will do pvp a lot less since the grind is too high for me to bother.

They're using the same rules as PvE: If you can equip it, you can glamour it. What if dedicated PvP players wanted something out of PvE content, and SE changed their whole system to accomodate them faster? I bet lots of people would be sore about that.
Sorry if a month is too long for you and you don't plan on playing that long, but don't act so entitled either without putting yourself in PvP players shoes. -

Put the work in. it's just that simple.
This thread is ironically dumbfounded. It's like you walking in on a monday expecting to see your paystub a week in advance. Commit & you will receive.
Cheers. -

You poor dears. How empty and meaningless your life must feel for this to be such a big deal. :(

Could link a very long post fro. Me where I preach about making PvP more accessible to noons, make the grind for you guys easier, and to adjust morale so its not as harsh for you guys.Quote:

You need rank 38 for the pretty snake. While I am all for making PvP balanced, I'm not for a system that doesn't encourage you to PvP. The current system requires you to reinforce the PvP ques for a few weeks. And that will help the PvP modes que times faster, and give us more random faces to play with.
Sorry your request doesn't help PvPers. So again, have fun while earning your armor.
Beyond that, the lore behind the armor is that it reflects your status in the PvP community. i100 reflects that you are a professional, choosing to wear ball room attire over actual armor, because your so practiced, and are part of a community that stages fights for the amusement of others, and your own personal glory.
A rank 10 in i100 defeats the mechanics, lore, and point of owning the pretty snake.Besides, don't be so soft. Snakes hate flaccid beings. If you want a snake to stay wrapped around your breasts, stay hard. The snake would move onto the next hard body it could find after it chokes the life out of you. Snakes don't like flacid cocks/breasts.
All in all, it just seems like your bitching, and that you can't handle weight that entails earning the a snake drapped around you.
Same answer as before, don't wait for SE to earn it for you. Reinforce the ques, play with us, and stroke your snake when you earn the right to handle it.
