[UnstablePersonality]

Greetings,

Thanks for all the feedback and comments for The Fields of Glory (Shatter). As always, we'll be sure to use your feedback as reference when making future adjustments, so please let us know any specific comments you may have, such as reducing the maximum points that can be earned, or decreasing icebound tomelith's HP!

Like adding it to old seal rock achievements so people can still get them.....lol should of been done at the start since players always abandon the old stuff for new stuff and did, seal rock no longer ques and since the new mode doesn't count for the seal achievements they are all getting left to rot.

on an unrelated note, i get very jealous of japanese data centers which seem to have regular 72man frontline games everyday (of the ones that can be seen in xivpvp)

I played on Japanese Data center and we do have 72 man Frontlines every day and the queue is very short after 6 PM.
Just yesterday I did Shatter a few times and the queue was about 10 minutes each time.

Do people in other data centers not PvP as much?

But even on Japanese data center, some people are not happy about GC restriction.

yea, frontline activity on aether (north america) is pretty low

with regards to gc restriction, it seems that fear of exploit (ie. fixed matches) is the dev team's "official" reason for keeping gc restriction*. i'm not sure if this is still their primary concern or if they have any other secret reasons they can't disclose for keeping the gc restriction.

I'd say they don't give much attention to the PvP community in general. Yeah they make new modes but they somehow fail to keep earlier modes alive. Feast is already dead on Chaos DC. "Nah we keep GC restriction, so people don't win-trade somehow even though no one plays anything but Shatter now"

[*]Increase the Kill Credit: ((truncated))

Yes yes. Yes! 100% this!!

I actually had this idea, not sure how well it would work, but what if you killed someone and then got their contribution towards hitting the ice if you killed them before the ice shattered?

For instance, person x got to the ice first, got it down 25%, the node is left at 75%. Person y runs up to person x and kills them, person y then gets person x's contribution of 25% to the node, and then goes to continue killing the rest of the node, and they get a full 100% contribution since they killed the other person there.

That would make it interesting to go after people who were focusing on dpsing the ice. Not sure if it would work with balance or gameplay though but it is a thought to encourage actual pvp.

I am surely not the first one to have this idea but what about rewriting the lore of Frontline as "let's re-enact the war between Amdapor, Mhach and Nym". This would naturally provide three teams fighting (at least more naturally that the current lore) and for each battle, we would join randomly one of these three teams.

Regarding the 24-player small icebound tomeliths match mode:

before each small icebound tomelith becomes active, for a period of 15-30 seconds, could the tomeliths glow red (on the map interface, as well) before coming active,

if 3 small tomeliths are active, the spawning cadence pauses, and does not resume until all three are destroyed,

also, on the map interface, it is very difficult sometimes to see the percent HP remaining on tomeliths. It's even more impossible to do if there are players standing next to them (as player icons cover the tomelith). Could they look at this issue of small tomeliths in the map interface.

I really hope you listen to us this time, you ask for our feedback and I sincerely hope you finally act on it. Saying you need our feedback and then keep ignoring what we ask time and time again doesn't really show us that the devs listen to us, it shows that they do when its convenient for them.

Remove GC restrictions, this is what we want above all else. I think the amount of people asking for that on this thread should be enough to show you that this is the opinion of the vast majority of PVP players.

I posted on the Q&A thread about this issue (here : http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...04#post3732404) if people want to support it! It could help to have a higher coverage.

Because it's been a year since Bayohne answer, and they don't seem to care at all, except "lowering icebound tomelith's HP" I mean, okay, it's a nice proposition but it's not gonna increase the queue times at all.

They listened to players a lot this year when they thought about what they can do to make pvp better.
