Help Queue Times, Save PVP--Ideas Inside, SE we need you to respond please

[Buff_Archer]

Thanks for responding. I realize no one on the SE side is going to come out and say 'Oh actually I agree the GC requirement sucks let me see if we can change it." because openly criticizing decisions made within your company is typically not a great career move. And I imagine all those who dedicated months doing development and QA for Frontlines must be frustrated knowing that the content they spent so much time on is so extremely underutilized because of a technicality and plenty of people want to play it and can't. I know no individual developer can just decide- 'Ok enough with this stupid GC Restrictipn time to get rid of it and let people have fun!' but at some point up the chain of command there is someone who can make that decision and so the message needs to reach them loud and clear. Which ultimately is why there's so many posts on it, if we stopped whining then it might be assumed we've accepted things the way they are.

Remove Class Lock in Arena

This was added for a reason, arena originally did not have a class lock but double summoner was just too powerful

this is the only game i know that PvP isn't fast paced

Its pretty fast paced once you learn the skills and understand some (fairly basic) combos

I would have to disagree with your first comment. The double summoner can be countered, pvpers obviously need to play around and discover class combos. Also SE can always tweaks skills when inside PvP, they already do it with sleep and other skills.

and I still stand on saying that the game isnt fast paced, just my own preference I guess (and I know basic combos)... 2 sec GCD is just too much.

Double summoner was countered with double summoner, it was pretty much the only team comp that was ran for good reason, back then melee classes didnt have nearly as much power due to pvp skills requiring to be unlocked first before use, then they cost increasing amounts to upgrade, couple that with the max rank being 30 back then they just couldnt compete

Plus you forget that back then summoners could also revive people, so you had 3 team mates with an instant revive

If this restriction was lifted, you can be sure that paladin+double dragoon will be one of the dominant comps and matches will just end up about who executes the burst rotation first

Class lock prevents meta team combo. Didn't do wolves den. But 8 smns in frontlines all on what I would assume was chat would focus through 12 guys like no ones business. I would also guess that most premade teams are using some form of chat. Also using frontlines as an example any class stacking has led to some sort of tweaking.

One way they could improve the Arena queue times, apart from removing the Rank restriction, is to also remove the class lock of one healer, one tank, one melee and one ranged and allow teams to enter with any type of configuration with the exception of max one healer per team and if one team has a healer, the other team must also have a healer. I understand this would cause people to stack Jobs, but if it meant that I could enter an Arena match in 5 minutes or less, then so be it. It is up to the Development team to balance out Jobs so that any type of configuration is a viable option.

PvP is already shared across data centers so to fix pvp que loosen gc restrictions and put players in random gc's for frontlines regardless of they are in gc their in.

[buritoslicer]

I would love to see some loosening of the GC restrictions, not everyone I know is part of the same GC. :-(

[Laerune]

They should remove GC restriction, make the players join the queue as random mercs, this will make grouping up alot eaier and friends can play toghter.
