Merge all Frontline maps to one que

As the title says, I recommend SE does something about making other PVP maps accesible because, I am uncertain of other data centers, Primal DC has absolutely no people or very minimal amounts queing for Seal Rock and Borderland Ruins. I and perhaps a large number of people are tired and worn out from running the same, tedious, monotonous runs of Shatter. I LOVE Seize!! That is by far my favorite frontline map but ever since Shatter came out it just has turned all those other maps as pointless ques.

Remove Frontline Roulette as well because all you just end up queing for anyways is Shatter.

I agree with this as it would also limit botting. I know fever/high wasn't prevalent during Secure but it should be now with the simplification of skills.

100% agree. This should have taken a higher priority than minion+companion summon.

I would add make the roulette or multi selection random as people can still queue individually.

So you want them to merge all the queues......but remove the queue where they are already merged?

I may be misremebering, but didn't they mention something in the previous live letter (not the latest one) about rotating frontline roulette on a weekly basis in the future. I.E. one week shatter, the next seize and so on?

With the fact that you can choose the frontlines indivually, if you choose roulette while everyone does indivual ques, you're gonna get shatter.

This doesn't alter the fact that it's still what you're asking for; a single queue containing all the maps. What you seem to be asking for is to take away the ability to queue individual maps - which is an iffy idea, taking away control from the player. They need to add an incentive to run other maps.

That is what the Outfits and mounts for each individual Frontline is. The outfit for Seal Rock is one thing but there is no incentive for Borderland Ruins.

Yeah i remember something like this got mentioned, i really hope this happens even if that Rival Wings will most likely kill all FL modes when it comes.

Yes and they mentioned in the latest live letter as well. Planned for 4.2.

The issue is, currently, you're far more likely to get Shatter queueing for the Roulette because everyone's queuing for Shatter.

I was surprised when on a weekday I got Secure for my roulette instead of shatter. But it was also funny because most of the people in the match never played it before and had no clue what to do.

Oh it does happen. Rarely though - so rarely that people don't know what to do, unfortunately.

All the more reason we need the map rotation.

We are still trying to encourage Aether DC players to queue Secure/Seize on the weekends though.

I was about to make a thread about this to show continued demand. Guess I don't need anymore.

Weekly rotation or random map selection like the Feast, I'm okay with either. I just want to experience 72 man Secure and Seize matches again.

I don't doubt you but do you have a source for this?

I have been getting Seal Rock (queuing solely for that) but only 1 match with 24 players every other day. If the queue doesn't pop before the 30 min mark, then it'll never pop. Just hoping that there are some people that queue with the roulette so they have a chance being placed in the same matchmaking group as me. Too many people are queuing solely for Shatter.

Producer Live Letter 39! Don't have an exact timestamp but it was around 2 hours and 7 minutes in that they mentioned it. Direct translation is 4.2 "or later". So planned for 4.2 at least.

Was hoping for some kind of summery from a news site but I'll take your word for it.

The shatter!
Why? before even the bots, it was just laziness (and the fact peeps prob already got their shit and bounced)

4.2 will be adding a PvP roulette instead, which will cycle the mode and map every one/two weeks for peeps who ether got sick of shatter, or want the other achivements/rewards.
