Everyone relax, the devs are listening.

I've seen a few complaints in the PvP forum claiming that community reps are biased against / ignoring the PvP forum. Well I happen to stumble upon the german PvP forum ( accidentally ), and discovered... a dev response!

I'm not going to pretend I know german though, so I used google translate lol.

The fact is that we read each of your Posts, even if we can not go into any of your desires. Your feedback and suggestions are always welcome and will be redirected to the developers.

You are kidding yourself if you think a lone german moderator constitutes a dev response

The last dev response we got was to tell us about FL's crippling queueing system, nothing more, nothing less

It is very likely they are still working out PvP features for the expansion so releasing information or details on future implementations isn't going to happen just yet.

I'm not sure if you understand the point of the post. The devs do see what we're saying, they just haven't made a comment on it.

You'd think though WE would at least get that kind of response since the English PvP forum is the most active of all of them by far. I don't like those kinds of canned responses that don't really mean anything. Who are our community representatives again?

I'm not going to get excited until I see some kind of dialogue, or some kind of sign that the dev team understands what may or may not be wrong with PvP. Apparently the answer so far is to just add more and more modes and maps, while players ask for changes and other players say "hey, they are busy with making a new mode/map, give them time!". Well, if we are to give them more time because they are working on a new mode/map, nothing will ever get changed ever, because clearly the "solution" is to add more modes/maps and not worry about underlying faults with the system itself, or with existing modes/maps. Sounds like a terrible plan.

I know the devs are listening because I got punished for using the R-word when light farming was added to Frontlines. But what we're not happy about is that we aren't getting answers about the aspects of this that we consider game-breaking in the sense that they severely limit our ability to play. For whatever reason there seems to be an embargo on providing us with information unlike with other areas of the game where (to no larger degree than here) a clear majority of people posting have explicit concerns and have info to back it up. Triple Triad Tournament Unfair!!! More of a dialogue happened with the playerbase over that than has ever happened re: the GC tie-in preventing us from being able to play a game (at all, let alone with people we choose).

So is the GC Restriction here to stay, and if so why is that more important than the real world time we have to spend sitting in queue vs doing other things- we deserve to know.

Listening without response and any influence in game is the same as not listening, so I don't really care untill I see some results.

That only confirms what people have been saying all along.
The English PvP forums are completely ignored.

That is a German response to the German forum. That doesn't make me and probably anyone else feel any better. We still feel ignored.

Dev replied some weeks ago about "Adjusting Frontline Rulette rewards" for example, it was an high demanded thing and so they replied that thay would fix it.
Now to be honest I feel joked about it, to change a reward you CAN'T need 2 month expecially after that you annouced it.

This is just a drop in the sea about how I don't like this method and if Dev is listening, this was why I quitted for few time.

They're listening, just people keep posting a million miles a minute, and the devs are in fact, only human and can't respond to everything at once. I'm sorry to tell you that. Also that some projects/fixes are more priority than others. So we will see better pvp in the future, we just have to be patient. :]

Are you kidding me? The last time they responded here was in January. Once about the roulette awards (which have nothing to do with PvP mechanics) and once about cometeor speed being bugged. I can't even remember the last time they actually adjusted for PvP balance. That was in one the patches half a year ago where they nerfed classes out of PvP altogether and killed MRD.

Humans can actually try a bit and respond once in a while, you know to reassure us that they haven't completely abandoned this part of the game? I hope they know that a lot of people on LF mmo posts on other forums ask how's the PvP, and I can only tell them the honest truth each time and turn them away.

Not to single you out, but really. I can say I listen to an album and not hear or remember hearing half the songs. SE developers who have used the say nothing tactic till it goes away plan a few times.

We can all agree pvp isn't a priority and we should be happy with the scraps we get. Either they are committed and are using resources to work on the system or they are delegating when other work is finished. But please don't defend them.
