Frontlines sucks Ultra megathread

[Colt47]

I mean frontlines is a problem because it isn't just about committing to a goal...

1) Targeting is a nightmare in frontlines and half the time I can't even target someone before they just dive back into the protection of their super cluster of players.
2) Ranged dps need a major range increase so that they can shoot targets that are behind the blue tanks trying to bait all the attacks. There needs to be a role to force or help break up these massive mobs and they just don't have them.
3) Fishing targets is too strong in frontlines. It works in CC because there isn't enough players to just flat out annihilate someone that gets fished by a holm gang or something, but in FF someone gets fished and then even guard isn't really enough since you'll be engulfed in less then a second.
4) Three kingdoms style pvp is just bad. I don't think there has ever been a time I've been in a first place team since the changes to jobs in pvp, and the majority of the time I've been on the teams that make third or second. There is no clear way to improve, no one is communicating, and it just turns into whichever team gets ahead first loses, since both other teams then pick on that team and continuously hound them well after they went down. This mode literally punishes trying to win.

This would mean that they'd have to set role restrictions on the groups, though. Like people would lose the ability to just swap to whatever or everyone would do ranged or everyone would just do what they do now with fishing players out with tanks or diving in as dark knights to eat up all the valuable damage skills.

I wouldn't want this, they would just increase melee DR even more.
