Saturday, Aug. 26: Queue Secure and Seal Rock Only

Just as the title says, if you queue for PvP those days, queue for those modes only. NO SHATTER. You've played it plenty, and are probably sick of it by now. Leave it to the bots and let's get some real Player vs Player going! Check Frontline Freelancer, and make the matchmaking easier on yourself. Your GC doesn't matter, only your skill, and ability to work together.

I repeat, queue ONLY for "The Borderland Ruins (Secure)" and "Seal Rock (Seize)". Do not queue for "The Fields of Glory (Shatter)". Do not queue for "The Fields of Glory (Shatter)".

What about Garo mount progress? Secure and Seize count.
What about the black ADS? Secure and Seize count.
What about the Field Commander's Set? Win enough in Seize for each piece.
XP? Still available.
Tomes? Still available.
"But I don't know how to play Secure and Seize. . ." Speak up, and ask for the run down. There are many experienced players who will help you in order to help the whole team win. Be willing to listen and cooperate, and understand that you're not going to be perfect right away. None of us were.

One last time, Saturday - ALL DAY - August 26, 2017: Queue Secure and Seal Rock (Seize) only. No Shatter. NO Shatter. Effect the change you want to see. If enough people actively queue for it, it's impossible for it to NOT create a match. No bots, no half doing it, no holding back.

Fight hard, and fight well.

Sounds fun. I still love Shatter, but I certainly do miss the other two. I'll definitely try and queue up on Saturday.

Just want to add that most people just want to kill people anyway in Shatter. In Seal Rock, you don't have a lame base to guard and you can kill as many people as you want while guarding your node.

Secure still has bases and you push your points by killing timed drone spawns in the middle. Personally I haven't played Secure in a really long time but remember hating it.

You mean during the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight? Even the bots are going to be watching that instead o.o

Sat Aug 26th huh?
OK!! I'll seize you there!! LOL!

And if you think that joke was bad, just show up to the frontline and disembowel me for it

The average frontline will take more time than that match

I mean any time during that day. I have to work (I don't normally on weekends), I'm not interested in that fight, but you can bet I'll be queueing up.

The point is to show the players that PvP that you have the power to affect change here. Are you tired of Shatter? Are you ALL tired of Shatter? Queue for Secure/Seize. Tell your friends who also PvP to do so. Don't wait for any special events or updates! If you want it, make it happen!

Me and the FC will cya there.

You probably hated it due B team going full retard, B team had biggest impact as they were 99% of time on own base+drone+help duty so they had to know timers while still giving overpower edge to A and C teams. If your B team sucked it was pretty much GG unless A or C took their place instead. The beauty of Secure was that it was 8v8 in multiple locations and this why B team played so huge role as it made fights 8v16 for short time until they had to go back drones, and if you managed to def against 16 then you literally wasted their time and it gave your team(and other enemy GC)a upper hand.

I won't be queueing secure because it's basically just shatter but less fun. I do miss seal rock though and always sign both that and shatter when I queue for that rare time a 24 man seal rock spawns.

Though it was more fun when it was the main pvp mode and people knew what they were doing and listened to instructions, now when I get it people don't understand the mode and don't follow instructions and it just devolves into teams killing each other while nodes sit ignored on the other side of the map.

Then queue only for Seal Rock. But believe me when I say Secure is FAR better than Shatter. Shatter effectively plays like a mix of Secure and Seize, and the non-player objectives weren't just a static thing on the map. Between node spawns, you're supposed to be attacking other players and securing bases for more points. No passive play happening there. Hell I'd run Secure locked to level 50 again over a bot filled, Ice>everything Shatter match any day.

But this isn't something to be forced. This is simply a call out to all players who are sick of Shatter and want to experience the other maps/modes to coordinate and queue up specifically to make it happen.

If we were on the same data center, I would have loved to participate. Good luck. Maybe you have better luck than me getting a Secure/Seize pop on Chaos Data Center.

Do you remember if it were 24 or 72 players? I agree that 24-man Secure can be really boring but 72-man is a blast to play.

This isn't limited to data centers. This is a call to everyone. Do you want to play Secure? Do you want to play Seize? Queue for that only. Tell your friends to tell their friends. All of you. Queue for it, and there ought to be no reason it doesn't happen.

24man has nothing to do with secure so i don't know why that option even exist... 48man now that was a BLAST too bad it got removed instead 72/24. Also 24man Seize is the perfect size for that mode but it could use 4th tomelith so there is no chance for stalemate, i really miss both 48 secure and 24 seize ;__;

How are people able to Q for frontlines anyways ? Every time I Q I wait 1h30 and nothing ( Eu servers ).

So tired of shatter, but will this work?

It will only work if people make the effort. And the effort is simple. Queue Secure and Seize only, tell your friends and their friends to do the same. Queue Freelancer for easier matchmaking.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Will do.

ayyye! i only need 4 more wins in seize to get my coat! count me in!

It's cool that you are doing this. I'm gonna try to get in some Secure and Seize matches this weekend. Hopefully doesn't take much longer for S-E to put in the rotating bonus incentives to keep all modes regular.

Today's the day!

I can't wait to be done with work and queue up! Hopefully people will see just how much more enjoyable Secure/Seize is over Shatter, and queue for them more. Leave the ice to the bots and come get some real competition again!

No time like the present, people. If you're looking at a long wait time, put the word out on your server. Put up a PF to find others to queue with. Among the various PvP Discords, I encouraged some of our more experienced players to NOT form full premades. We want others to be able to experience these modes (without having to wait for a map rotation), and sometimes full premades can. . . discourage other players.

Grab a buddy or 3 (no more than 3, really) and queue up, check that Freelancer option for easier matchmaking, and experience something more and better than Shatter!

I'll be sure to queue! ^-^

I can only speak for Aether DC, but thank you to everyone that participated on Saturday! The quality of matches were pretty good! Certainly better than Shatter with bots, lol.

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! (I actually lost a lot, but it was still worth it to be able to play Seize again!) More importantly, I hope people see that - while it might take a little more effort - you can simply put the word out and get people to queue for whatever match types you want!

Until we get our Frontlines map rotation or whatever is being planned, let's do it again next weekend. Simply get the word out and make what you want happen!
