Will there be SOLO queue for PVP in Dawntrail

[Reinhardt_Azureheim]

I only engage in Crystal Conflict for the sake of obtaining my mount and seasonal rewards; honestly, the current rewards don't motivate me much. In my opinion, large-scale conflicts like Frontline are where each character truly shines the most.

Good for you, but don't expect a 72/48man instance with 72/48 solo queuers anytime soon. Whole point of being able to party up in FL/RW is to have some control over with who you play with, making it less of a headache to rely exclusively on randoms.

Also, it's actually where each character shines less and certain jobs even less than others. Less players, more individual responsibility/impact and vice versa.

That may be the point, but due to player abuse, the history of FL has been to reduce the party size. That's why we're randomly assigned to a GC and why the queue subsequently went from full to light.

8-man queue as an option along with GC-lock was actually kinda awful, I agree. But what we have now is miles away from that and definitely miles away from solo-queue-only.

I think it is a healthy middle.

I think what people are looking for is the option of a solo-only queue. You may not agree with the growing hostility towards premades, but the fact is it exists. The twin queue idea has been criticized on the grounds that if there were two queue modes, one that allows light parties and one that does not, the former would never pop. I find this somewhat amusing.

I don't mind either of them as I adjust to whatever the game hands me, but I can't realistically see a second queue for solo-only coexist with up-to-4-queue. Not because it would be a bad idea, but because it would divide the playerpool of frontlines greatly, to detriment of both. I am uncertain if we have a playerbase large enough to facilitate both.

Now if it was 8v8v8, that'd be a different story.

Agreed. A different and happier story.

Maybe because some of us has seen it for ourselves when it came to feast. While I personally believe that it's wrong to compare solo rank and team rank together we only have the one season of team, and that tells the entire story. Compared to solo q rank queues was the worst in team rank. While I personally can't say why that is you can probably put the pieces together by looking at the team ratings.

Maybe if 24 mans was brought back and it was an option to queue premade it may work. Having 72 on the other hand is just not feasible. It is most likely going to be dead without help from the queue syncers...just like where Rival Wings are currently at outside of Moogle events.

I'd much prefer smaller teams. But on Aether at least the queue times are currently so short I see no issues from that perspective with a solo-only queue.
