Frontlines queue is broken.

[Zell1226]

It sure is annoying being Maelstrom since 1.0, and getting stuck with these garbage queue times because apparently they win a lot. I'm not switching GCs because I like the Maelstrom gear.

Frontlines should not be GC based. It should just be 3 different teams going against each other. Who the hell cares about lore behind PvP anyway?

You have Wolves Den. Frontlines is all about lore..the entire area is lore based.

I get that. My question was, who the hell cares? Anyone that wants to PvP is there to PvP. Not to roleplay.

Hence: "You have Wolves Den."

That's purely about PvP. You don't even have to 'roleplay', the fact it's lore based Grand Company vs Grand Company gameplay means it's a bit silly to complain about that when the alternative has been there for ages

You don't get it. Frontlines shouldn't be special "non-PvP" roleplay zone for Grand Companies. It is still PvP, and a larger scale PvP than Wolves Den. Some people prefer that, I honestly find large scale PvP more fun myself, having played RO for god knows how many years. Let me put it this way, if you take the grand companies out of it and make it "Team A, Team B, Team C", does it change anything? No, but it sure makes queue times a lot faster by throwing in 72 people in random groups together. It also makes fights not completely one-sided. I also would like to do frontlines because it gives massive experience and wolf marks. Win trading in PvP is not fun, and doing it the normal way is beyond slow.

My point is, this system is clearly not working. I'm not sure who they're trying to appeal to at the moment.

The system is working fine. JP community is evenly distribued among three GCs for the frontline while EN community is not. This is why it does not seem to appeal to you, but it doesnt mean system is not working fine. I was unable to find any topic in regard to complain of que time on both JP PvP fourm and JP 2ch. This is an issue that only apply to EN community because of our own mindset. The mindset of jumping to the winning wagon is something need to be resolve within our community. You are making a false claim and assumption based on your own personal experience as a Malestorm.

The number of players that are enjoying GC vs GC vs GC is much greater than you think. JP community seems to enjoying this competition system and their Frontline participant number is greater than us according to Yoship. You need a lot more solid reference and stactic number to show your point.

My own personal experience and several others. This isn't JUST me. Again, I have been with Maelstrom since 1.0, why is it fair for me to HAVE to switch if I ever want to even ENTER frontlines? Also, we already know they favor JP players, you don't need to remind us. Don't blame people like me for "jumping ship and winning", I've only even been able to play one stupid game. If I could fix this issue, I would.

I assure you, the wait times are real and the systems matching is not functioning as expected. As i stated earlier, I'm Twin Adders queuing as a MRD/WAR during peak times and I've waited up to 3 hours for a queue. Then I get my son to Queue, sometimes after 30 or more minutes after I've been waiting, on his tank (also Adders) and he gets in before me. Something is not working somewhere.

May I ask how your queue times are, what company you are, and what role you queue as?

I don't exactly roleplay...but I AM proud to be a Twin Adder. I really DO like playing with other folks that are 'Adders' because it gives us something in common, even if it is a small thing. Also, because I'm not in the GC that everyone 'hops' to hoping for an easy-win ratio, every win I get I can be proud of my team/adders because they remained dedicated to the Adders vs. just leaving for the 'winning' side. Also, now that they made the PvP rankings public, I don't worry so much about my win:loss ratio, as well, It's within the ave rate for my team AND I pug every match...so I don't have the slightly better odds of the power of pre-made communication.

Lastly, I LIKE the adders lore/city/gears/horse better. I don't want anything else....even my alts are Adders because I just can't be anything else. Tree Hugger for life I guess.
