permit FC queueing for Frontline

[Evenstar]

Frontlines is the second big group content in this game that totally ignores the FCs. It is crazy.

There is absolutely not content at all that you can easily do with your FC and after CT this is the second time SE puts their head in the sand when it comes to FC content. Yes, we knew it was going to be GC vs. GC, but they could have made it in such way that they could choose if you wanted to play under your FC GC or individual GC.

^qft

Hunts are going to be huge I think, finally a little something for FC's to do together at large. But dividing us so badly for Frontline & more division for CT2 for awhile (24-queue should've made it in prior to CT2's release)...

It just feels wrong for an MMO to enforce so many unnecessary limits on group-play.

QFT.

i understand Crystal tower not being an FC centric thing, but frontlines not being tied in with free companies is ridiculous.

I can only agree with the OP on this topic. I think that any decision that prevents you from playing with your friends in an mmo is a bad one. The entire reason that I play this type of game is to interact with other people so I just don't see the point of forcing people to separate and play with strangers essentially. Also, if you change your allegiance to another GC you lose all of your current progress in pvp so that really doesn't feel like a viable option to me. In my opinion you should be able to play all types of content with people on your friends list or in your FC.

It could easily be worked into the lore with a little effort, allow people to temporarily become mercs for example. To me the lore surrounding this content is not that strong to begin with and it feels like every time they do something that a lot of players don't like they point their finger at the lore and try to act like it's impossible to change/work around when it really isn't.

This info was well know months ago and now, days before implemented you decide to complain. Why didnt you make this thread when SE anounced how frontlines were going to be? Do you think that changing what they develop days before is going to be release is easy? Do you care about the story and lore they are working on? They develop a game and we just play it, if you dont like something dont do it or wait till they change it if they change it.

Just out of idle curiosity. Let's say if FCs were taken into account, a scenario; I am a Adder. My Company is aligned with the Maelstrom. If I queue for Frontlines, am I an Adder or am I a Maelstrom?

I have been making threads like this for a long time... and calling out Dev's specifically for clarification and etc., it has always gone unanswered/unresponded to.

I know I'm going to like Frontlines, I know I'm going to do it, I know I'm going to be doing it without friends as I'm over Rank 30 & am not willing to give up those 100's of hours I put in (neither should they), it's just sad I'll be doing it without my friends.

I don't think this should be the case so I'm petitioning.

It is an open-forum, it's a silly point to make "wait till they change it if they change it", if we don't speak up how are they supposed to know to change it or that we want it changed...

Great question!

If it's a mixed group of FC Members, FC GC Affiliation.

If it's all one or the other, whichever it is.

If everyone is both, two options for SE: either whichever queue is faster or Party Leader's personal GC Affiliation.

So if the FC has a somewhat equal number spread across all three, then the overall FC Affiliation takes.

If the FC is say Flames but most of the members are Adder, then the Adder takes.

I don't understand how the third could be an option if the first is as it reads, unless I am reading it wrong.

Is this assumption correct?

I don't actually care about PVP. Just here to troll.

So you want a MMO that doesn't support you playing with your friends? It seems so.

How about in honor of your amazing input, we should put in the following in game features:
400k gil in order to play with anyone on friends list.
400k gil in order to play with anyone in your FC.
500k before entering coil with the same group.
You will have to be the same GC with your static in order to enter coil together. Why? "Lore"

Face it, people want to play with friends. Not sure what is so hard to understand. It's clear you have no interest in PVP, so you are of the mind of "Screw you, got mine." mentality. Asking them to jump leaps and bounds in order to play with friends, shouldn't be a thing in this game. When someone is rank 40 in PVP, it took quite a while to reach that part, because you dismiss it so easily shows that you never done PVP.

Come on Square it's pretty easy to set up a "fight for whoever you want" lore wise with some mercenary plot-line and....done!
You could fight for your default GC or sell your sword/spear/axe to whoever you want.
