Protesting Frontlines

[zaviermhigo]

I don't mind it being GC vs GC vs GC in a perfect world where are GCs have roughly the same amount of people. But on my server, everyone is Immortal Flames and Twin Adder (my gc), and no one is maelstrom. I know like two maelstrom people, they are going to have lots of fun queueing up :/.

Grand Company v Grand Company v Grand Company was one of the main reasons I figured Frontlines would be semi-open world and not something you use the Duty Finder for.

In the sense of an open world, single server kind of thing, it makes sense; Maelstrom wins, everyone in the Maelstrom gets a small bonus outside Frontlines. Sort of like Conquest in XI, but not shit. Plenty of reason to participate on that alone.

With it being Duty Finder content, the three way is just there because plot.

I rerolled two days ago of GC because of this, cos i read the frontline preview and it says you fight for your respective GC... :/

Well, Look what we have here SS of French Forum; Frontlines are bound to your GC. Makes sense Lore wise, yet for entertainment and being able to play with your friends, SE says NOPE. Once again you have shattered the dreams of your people.. You have tainted combination pvp in wolves den. You do not promote group play within PvP but shun it. You wish to not see your subscribers play with friends because of a decision made early in the game to choose their GC and had actively put much work into leveling up their rank to only now say you may switch but you will lose your PvP rank entirely. Good job SE- for 2.3 you might want to fix the rank system so that people may convert to play with friends..

Thanks.

Did some people seriously not read anything in game or notice how your pvp abilities/Xp/rank/titles were all set up by GC? Did them saying before wolves den that GCvGCvGC pvp was coming not register before ranking up?

While it is annoying, and I agree it's probably worth making rank transfer....I still wonder how it's surprising to anyone?

Do you even pvp? You know how long it takes to rank up the legit way? Have you considered that maybe people made new friends since they choosed GC? Please stop being silly.

Of course I understand how long it takes to rank up, which is why I stated swapping ranks when you swap GC's would make sense. I also understand people making new friends and wanting them to be in the same GC and all that. I am not being silly. What I dont understand is people being suprised by this finding at THIS POINT. Its been clear it would be this way since beta, its NOT A SURPRISE.

I think its something that will get changed and maybe give you one swap every X amount of time where your PVP rank goes with you. I sadly cant suggest anything other than people be more aware of things in game to prevent surprises to themselves like this in the future. If they tell you over and over again something, maybe start believing its true???

I just want to say that I really think this is a bad idea.

I want to play with my friends, but they chose different GCs at launch. This is supposed to be an MMO; we're supposed to play together. We can't do that with this system. It just makes this feel like another solo experience...

[Meier]

I thought there were no consequences to choosing a GC. Now the consequence is you can't play with friends.

Well with this all said; When you switch Gc's do you lose the pvp ranks all together when you switch or do you keep them but they are tied only to the Gc you earned them on so when you switch back they are there again? I'm sure someone had to of tested this before.
