permit FC queueing for Frontline

[Parz3val]

Yeah, everybody's hopping over to one GC practically on many servers, queue times are getting long & if you're not a part of the Superior GC you're at a severe disadvantage.

Either way, this still needs to happen.

Bayohne???

Queue times will increase for one faction I'd imagine, seeing as how a lot of players are shifting from GC to GC - it could eventually become unbalanced.

i approve of this!

SE respond plox!

I can't get my FC to do PVP at all since I can't ask them to join with me.

Such a shame that there is so much red tape in order to group with people in your own FC.

This is something I'd really like to see as well. I'm one of maybe 3 TA people in my GC. We're allied with Immortal Flames although many are Maelstrom. I'd like to be able to queue with other FC friends even if it with flames just for the sake of fun please.

The hardest thing about this (very lore friendly) idea is the queue system. If I queue up solo, do I get randomly put with Adders (GC) or Maelstrom (FC)? Can I duo-queue with a Flame who is in a different Maelstrom FC? Do you get placed with a random company if your party qualifies for two?

I'd suggest that it works like this:
-Solo queuing places you in your own Grand Company.
-Party queuing is only available if your entire party belongs to a single Grand Company OR Free Company.
-If your party is a group of individuals that belongs to both the same GC and FC, the GC takes priority.

This makes it so there's no distinct advantage to joining an FC that's not under your GC.

Great ideas! Quoted below is myself from earlier in the thread, I mashed up the idea quickly so all yours may be better... either way, we're giving SE solid options; no good reason GC-restriction should remain.

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.

This still needs to happen. SE please?

^exactly. No need to be so restrictive.
