So... the new Frontline changes...

[Surian]

It was a good idea in theory, but like most other cases before this one where something was good in theory, making everyone continue to the fight that -did- click is incredibly anoying.

The last two Frontlines i fought in had an alliance party A with 6 people, B with 7 and C with 4 people. That's 17/24.

I dont think it needs explaining that we got trashed.

No one is joining in progress, and the ones that do and see it's a "fresh party" are quiting instantly to continue to fish for a 99% done one.

And people arent inviting new members all the time either.

And lets not forget the people that flatout give up and AFK due to not having enough members.

It's worse than having to re-click a bunch of times and to finally get a full group of dedicated people.

Can we have the old system back? :/

maybe you didn't read all the updates, part 2 is coming next week and will allow join in progress to fill in the gaps. Until that time they asked party leaders to add people manually.

Also your other concerns will happen anyways, happened in WoW battlegrounds too, took a long time but Bliz finally added a if you afk or don't participate for a set time you will be kicked from the field and get no credit. So we can only hope the new system keeps evolving to combat this.

Wait, that was their "fix" to the ridiculously long queues? Just go in with whoever you got even if it's not a full team? Ugh. How is it that every other game with a competitive MP component figured this out a decade ago? It has to be the way the servers handle instances. Apparently they're incapable of just having a rolling queue where emptied spots get filled instantaneously by the next person in line.
