What do you think about the frontline gamemode rotating?

[Samsta]

I myself find it kinda stupid. They made this one mode that everyone likes, but then they limit you to play it only every third day. If the problem is that everyone likes to play shatter, then maybe you should try to make the other game modes better, rather than limiting what people can play. Seems like another lazy fix to a "problem". Let me play what I want, I don't like seal rock so my enjoyment of frontlines is greatly reduced every third day.

because all 3 modes have unique rewards tied to them, with the secure & seize ones practically impossible to get before the roulette with daily rotation was added.
Also there are probably just as many, if not more, players that hate shatter the most because of the way too strong focus on player vs ice.

i would never have finished 100 seal rock wins for the full field commander set if the daily frontline roulette wasn't implemented. also people get tired of just shatter, over and over again.

If they had it free range your q's would be so out of whack. The rotation allows all modes to be played and filled to some type of degree and lets achievement hunters get their counts for the mount and glam. Can also speak on me working for my Seal Rock wins if they didn't have this I'd be left out to dry.

Isn't that just a "problem" with players liking the other mode more? What a stupid way to force everybody to play something they like less.

then only play on shatter days? find another game to play on the days where it's not.

[swiss_Momo]

nah, that's just a general problem of "new mode killing off the older ones"

That's a pretty silly way to design a game, "just don't play" isn't really something a game wants out of you. I don't have any other games atm and it's not like I only PvP but I would PvP more if I could play shatter all the time. Design that makes you play less isn't a good game design, it's antithetical to what they want.

The wonder of a new mode isn't gonna last years, players don't automatically keep playing something just because it's new. Shatter is simply more liked than the other modes, and I get why they want players to keep playing other modes too, but just straight up restricting it is the laziest way possible to fix it.

did you miss the part where yoshi-p himself says "go play other games if you want"?

Completely different context.
