Light Party Restriction In Frontlines

[Rinku421]

3 factions is the most unfun aspect of Frontlines.

This is sole reason why I prefer Rival Wings over Frontlines. Having to constantly worry about being "flanked" and basically deterring people from actually fighting in matches. If they could somehow revamp Frontlines to just be 2 factions it would be so much better.

That is also why Rival Wings is not popular on EU and NA because once the game is one sided you will immediately hearing "Let them win so I can get out of here"
You won't hear this in Frontline because there is always a chance your GC can take over the lead from a successful flank.

It's not popular but for another reason entirely: it's not part of a daily map rotation and doesn't have roulette bonus. When there are incentives to que for it directly, like moogle tomestone events, there are 2, and sometimes 3 matches going on at the same time. Regardless, you have a 50% chance to win in a faster RW match than 33% chance in slower Frontline matches so it's much less annoying and doesn't leave a sense of a time wasted.

I don't know what kind of Frontline matches you've played but majority of teams give up once they fall behind like 700 points and beyond. "Letting them win" isn't exclusive to Rival Wings at all, if anything its less prevalent because there isn't a third faction to interfere with the possibility of making a come back.

Did you ever heard or participated in so called Flame-Adder war.
I am sure you have.
Although post free lancer Flamr-Adder war is no longer a thing but idea of retaliation persists
It is because of this retaliation mentality, you rarely seeing people throw out “Let them win”
Rival Wing on other hand is unable to offer that because it nevertheless is still a 2 side combat system; once you are on the losing side, there is no comeback or ability to retaliate.

The Brute Justice machina and Gobcrate train are literally MADE as comeback mechanics. Machina in general are used to turn the tides of battle especially with the buffs the Cruise Chaser and Brute Justice received recently. I've seen games turn around within the last 30 seconds because of those mechanics. You clearly haven't played Rival Wings enough if you don't think there's any possibility for comebacks.
