Frontlines point adjustments

We need to see points tally negatively!

Example:
A team can perform so badly that they lose their starting position at 0 points and go into a negative point range. This, i say though is only for shits and giggles; and screenshots!

Also, if we were to add some kind of wildcard mechanic to this; the negative performing team is now worth x2 the kill points.
Sure the mechanics sound awful, but Frontlines is already awful; in every game 1 of 3 teams will throw the game and aim for 2nd place.

So yes, why not throw some wildcard in there and force the game to change into a different mode when negative points accrue!

Think about it, in all its silliness it kind of makes better sense than the current system!

wow, just when you thought you've heard it all...

As hillarious as that sounds... that's the dumbest thing I've heard xD

I fully endorse this soul crushing idea

Nah... There's been worse ideas thrown in these forums. Good thing that the community managers/Developers never look in sub forum.

Team with negative points at the match's end get no tomestone rewards either.

I like it. :rolleyes:

Well... then we're screwed.. Let's implement this.

To actually take a serious, though slightly off-topic spin on your post, I really think that people "aiming for second" isn't as common as people think. I saw someone suggesting that when another GC doesn't even bother attacking the leaders and instead chooses to fight the others, it meant that they were fighting for second place; whereas most of the time that is really just a team paying attention to absolutely nothing that's going on and/or not having anyone giving out instructions in my experience. All of which, also somewhat comes down to both opposing GCs not playing properly if neither of them seem to be interested in hindering the leader. I'd bet that at least 90% of the time it's a simple case of most players not caring about anything other than a game of Team Deathmatch.

This is exactly it. The suggestion isn't anything serious other than "it'd be fun to post how much fail exists" or rather, if taken seriously then the team that plays for 2nd while hunting 3rd would activate a secondary mechanic of "Slaughter".

People take things too seriously, Frontlines isn't really PvP; Wolf's Den is.
Frontlines is a joke in and of itself, might as well allow it to be the fool it is (and not just during Eso reset!)

how can you say something is a joke when you haven't really played much Frontlines anyway

Haha, if this is about playing it a lot my apologies that the queue timer on Flames is about 2 hours and if I could put more games under my belt I would have a long long time ago alas dear friend, SE admits there is no issue with the Queue timer henceforth I cannot answer your call to attend more games for I can only partake in escapism 2-3 hours a night.

Do note that your awesomeness and attendance in Frontlines has been noted dear Falz.
Thanks for showing me that site though, I honestly would have never known it was tracked via third party.

He's played more matches in FL than i have but lets be honest, skill wise FL is a joke

Nah instead of teams we can have points for individual people, see who's actually losing points for your GC. Now THAT'S something.

Though the fine mechanics of counting points would be kind of hard, a system will need to be setup so that kills don't mean EVERYTHING.
