Frontlines sucks Ultra megathread

[Rueby]

Honestly, premades are awful, nothing is worse than seeing your entire alliance get pulled by a drk and melts infront of your eyes, it doesn't matter if you're a solo vet or a casual trying their best. So, you're forced to try to play something to TRY and counter the premade but you'll most likely fail because the odds are usually stacked against you. Ultimately, it's pointless really and not fun at all to try and spend the game shadowing one of the premade guys knowing your team is gonna get rolled anyway. It doesn't matter if you have 69 macros or not.

I used to love frontlines but now I only do it to get my series level to 25 and never touch it again, I don't even see any of the solo regulars I saw back in the time either and it really makes me sad. I don't know how SE managed to make frontline worse but they deserve a medal for their truly valiant efforts.

They did a big overhaul for their Feast replacement and barely thought how such an overhaul would effect large scale battles. They found out and proceeded to barely fix anything. If they put as much effort in their large scale pvp as their small scale, it would have made a world of difference.

Sweet summer child, I see you've never played in the first half of Stormblood pvp. The current state of FLs right now isn't great, but it's miles away from the pit of despair it used to be during certain times.

Not saying what they're doing with the mode is a good thing though, they were so happy about their new rework and shiny crystalline conflict (which I actually love, for once, and I'm a CC main and foremost) that they either "forgot" to adjust FLs in the wake, or just thought it would be fine until they "deal with it later". I mean I guess it's fine right? MMO players are a funny beast, they only play for rewards, and this obsession for it literally puts rewards so high on a pedestal above every other consideration that just having a daily roulette and a mogtome event full of goodies makes them queue for it anyway.

And to be frank, they could queue for something else to make mogtomes. If they queue for this, it's for a reason, and not necessarily that it's faster (Rival Wings actually is). So yes, I doubt casuals are having such a bad time with it than us who play it a lot more. Not only that, but the amount of games where I count an actual, serious premade at least where I play, is about a third of the time tops. Before the mog event it was way lower, and less sweaty.

I think it would be funny, all the premades have to deal with their own equivalent of hell because of their MMR as the only other people up that high are just other premades.

Would certainly create a prisoner's island for them.

Joke's on you, they already organize such events.
