Field Commander's Set, nearly impossible to get now?

So, since the new PvP is out, the older version is basically dead. Queue times for Seal Rock (Seize) are absurdly high now. Trying to earn the Field Commander's set currently would take an ungodly amount of time due to the queue.

Personally, I think that Fields of Glory wins should count towards the set.

I agree to, this as, although I don't PvP often, would like to get the Field Commander's Set, one day.

I would rather them come up with making all pvp pop more and be more lively to encourage playing the different modes, rather than just removing mode restrictions. If that happens there is not much long term incentive for anything

Im sick of the same pvp match every time, I would love if they made borderlands eso's now as well, and somehow encouraged a range of the three games/maps... Borderlands secure was still my favorite pvp map and now its impossible to play it

I sit que'ed into all 3 matches every day all day but only fields of glory pops :) and that makes sense because of the new mount/hype but please i like a range of pvp not the same thing all day

lol pvp. its like everytime i see a pvp post i just chuckle to myself. pvp is literally those guys hanging by those cliffs or building roofs, always on the brink of death but never quite there since theres always that one attempt to bring pvp back but then a month later it dies out and then its back to hanging.

Oh, that would most certainly be the ideal solution. Buuut...well... what are the odds?

I mean, sure, JP might manage. But that's the magical realm where even GC restrictions are more of a nuisance than a crippling restriction causing games to not pop for hours on end.

Yeah sadly I already put in many ideas about this, and how they could make at least this set able to be received again but..-shrug- Seal is probably gonna stay dead at this rate.

sounds like SE's plan to keep you subbed longer worked.

Since PvP gear is of such limited use, how about adding older rewards to the shops? Kinda like the music/cheerleader minion, how about adding perhaps a token to purchase, which a set number of would allow purchase of said reward?

I'm admittedly not a huge fan of that system, but it's better than never being able to get certain rewards. . . I was 2 wins away from the pants, and now? Dead Seize queues.

I was 12 wins from the field coat and now I got kicked in the face so I agree with this lol maybe a dye able version that way some can still enjoy the work they put in for the original and also be able to get a new version.

I know that folks will laugh when I suggest this, but in the situation where there are simply not enough PVP players to make hings work, what about adding PvP NPCs who can participate instead of real players when the lack of real players causes a Queue to go beyond a certain duration? It would keep the events open and rewards available to those who want them.

I wish they'd have specific FL bonus weekend rotations to get people to play since the other FL types are generally discarded when a new one is released.

The biggest issue is that the Field Commander set requires players to actually WIN. Stuffing them in a party of braindead NPCs probably won't really help with that.

Probably true. I'm sorry, I was just musing on how games can keep seldom played content viable, and it always comes back to NPCs. I wasn't sure whether 1-1 matches would count for the field commander set or not - I don't PvP, perhaps one day I will. So, I am speaking from a lack of knowledge, just wanted to toss an idea out there.

Clearly not, but then again, it's not PvP when the Queue never pops either.

Yeah I was really hoping by now seal would of picked up again..but it seems that's not the case.

Let's hope for something like "Seal Rock 2.0" in the future, because queue times are insane >_< Still need my 33 wins with Gridania

I'm hoping they'll remove the GC restrictions from Frontlines in 4.0. If the story is going where people think it is then the GCs will likely merge into one military force for the Ala Mhigo campaign. It would be the perfect lore-appropriate excuse to lift the restrictions (and lore was apparently the only reason they haven't done it yet).

I like how they did PVP in Guild Wars 2 in that PVP was accessible for all levels. Maybe have a Level Sync up for Frontlines PVP?

I couldn't agree more, the biggest issue I have is I only queue roulette which includes all the modes but I only get whatever is the most current frontlines map. They need to look into making the "roulette" more of a roulette.
