Fundamental Flaw With Frontlines

[SethLex]

Let me start by saying that I enjoy Frontlines and I do hope PVP becomes a constant focus of the dev team in the future.

Now, the flaw: players should not be separated by GC affiliation.

Reasons:
- it fragments perfectly functional communities (guilds aka free companies); what grand company I chose should in no way influence who I play with and vice-versa.
- it encourages migration of players from one GC to another in order to "be on the winning team"
- it holds no value in PVP (no different skills, nothing that actually says "I play TwinA because...")

Solution:
Get 72 ppl in and split them into 3 teams: the REDs, the BLUEs and the YELLOWs.

You want to go further? Split ppl into server groups and that way you can talk about some sort of "faction pride".

My 2 cents.

Bonus is you can now make new friends with total strangers.

So what? it was said at the start its split between GC, just because you or OP don't like the answer doesn't mean they need to give you more clarification. It will change when they want it to change and not a minute sooner.

We all knew it was a split between GC, there was no clarification needed. But the entire PvP community explained why segregating players from their friends was a bad idea for gameplay, which they ignored completely

There is no morale, PvP gear you previously earned will not be your concern. You will lose current PvP rank with your current GC. You maybe lost all the buffs on pvp actions (shorter CD, longer duartion, and a little damamge boost), but you still kept your all primary PvP actions. Imact is minor, get it over with just start over with your friends.

Except that alot of freinds in the pvp community were easily rank 25+, something that took 400-500 matches to achieve pre 2.3, having to make some of the friends have their stuff locked off for 15 days just so they can just have fun is utterly stupid

All they needed to do is allow people to party up and then the party leader's GC is the one you queue for, it's that easy

Rank 25 is slow before patch 2.3, but it is not the case right now. Winning is 600, 2nd place is 450, and third place is 300. It is three times faster than before (or maybe more). I have seen people reach from Rank 1 to Rank 15 in three days. How long does it take before 2.3 in Wolf Den? Fundamentally, it is not a World End scenario as you already have advantage as a premade party.

You still have to break the game mechanic for achieve your idea.. Your PvP profile is recording your performance for each GC. If you play for Malestorm as Immortal Flame for example, how do you record this in your player profile? You obviously not one of the Malestorm, and your GC Immortal Flame just got defeated?

which they ignored completely

Nope, they just didn't give you the answer you wanted so you demand an explanation and tbh you don't deserve one just because you said so . You already have the answer, if you keep ignoring it then its no ones fault but your own.

Im 29 in 2 weeks, next excuse please? And why even bring up getting 15 day lock out, that has 0 to do with anything. You're really grasping at straws here.

You're not in pre-2.3 son, please try to understand that getting to that rank took a month of solid matches (aka, hoping that the queues would be good, which was almost never the case) to get that before hand and nobody knew what the rewards would be after patch, so they were annoyed about losing said rank
