I was at the panel and it didn't come up at all. Our only chance is that some interview from PAX that hasn't been published yet might have some info. I also remember reading somewhere that they are planning on releasing a new frontlines map with Heavensward, but this wasn't new from PAX.

We usually get PvP-info-sniped tbh.
If we get anything new for 2.55, we'll probably get it in the early patch notes release before anywhere else. -
03-10-2015, 09:35 AMkpxmanifestoYep, new FL map for Heavensward, new map for Wolves' Den, 8v8 Wolves' Den, as well as a Wolves' Den season, and possibly a Wolves' Den World Championship.Quote:

All the info for this is towards the bottom of the page.
Edit: Of course none of this stuff is very new. This was announced back in October 2014. -

Here's something new...

Towards the bottom.
Quote:
At launch of Heavensward, we will have a new Frontline battle, with a new map and new rules. It will continue to be Grand Company based, but while before each Grand Company would start at a select location and the map, in Heavensward we will see a randomized starting location which will impact play. Armor rewards associated with Frontlines will also be updated. After that point they will update the Wolves Den.

Good stuff, a little disappointing that it's still GC restricted but i'm excited about the new map and wolves den update in the future.

03-10-2015, 10:38 PMPibzYep, i really don't get what's up with this they seem to do a fairly good job of listening to the community for a lot of other aspects in the game, but for the PvP community they're mute, not even a single sentence even acknowledging they know we think it's an issue..Quote:

03-11-2015, 02:36 AMCidolfas86I've been noticing that myself. It's almost like mum's the word on any kind of playerbase issues regarding PvP or balancing etc.Quote:

If it's GC 'based' but with rules that let us represent GC's other than our own, I'd be fine with that. If it continues to be GC restricted in the sense it is now, I'm done with PVP and that's a shame because I had some really good times there for awhile. The GC restriction ruins the experience for people who want to do well and succeed, but aren't in the dominant GC on their server and so can only battle with the same mix of players on their side, and the same mix on the opposing side. And a rank 45 player doing a GC swap penalizes the player in terms of lost rank/reward, and it also further polarizes the community as the group of people dedicated to winning (even with longer queue times) gains a skilled player, and the GC they leave in losing them has a higher proportion of 'Don't tell me how 2 play m8, I didn't come here to kill drones, I'm just here for the Soldiery for my relic' people.
I don't know why we can't get more info on the future of the GC restriction, its clearly got a lot of people upset. I would have a more positive outlook if I knew our concerns were being listened to and somethung was being done to address this. It's the main reason queues don't fill quickly; and with people having their teammates & opponents locked into the same pool, it means experienced players who arent in the dominant GC queue less out of frustration.... I'm not going to queue over and over just to get farmed by players with the benefit of a consistently stronger alliance. The blame isn't on the teams who are winning, it's on a system that ensures the winning and losing teams are formed out of seperate, distinct pools of players. -

At this point, if you enjoy PvP you'd be better off getting your fill in another game. I'm currently playing League of Legends and love Ahri. I can only assume from the lack of Dev input that they dont care, so why continue to waste your time on a broken game when better options are available?

So why even bother playing at all. Since ur right PvP is what makes the game and it's required gtfo. Just because PvP only downside is the long Q does not mean the game is broken. Lol I guess I'll stick with ff14 since the pve in league of legends is shit and broken.

03-20-2015, 08:25 AMCidolfas86You kinda missed the point completely. AntiSocialPanda wasn't critiquing the whole game just the PvP section of it. And he/she is right. With the current que time dilemma, lack of true class balance, very few game modes that people actually play, and lack of info or feed back from the devs there's no point becoming too attached to PvP in this game. Your better off just sticking to other parts of the game and getting your PvP fill from somewhere else.Quote:
