Abolish Gc vs GC vs GC in frontlines.

[Sessurea]

Thanks for all responses ( even the negative ones, and especially the constructive and reasonable ones ). Happy to see other people feel strongly about this and find it unacceptable that SE have created a system that is not compatible with a small population, and with the non-issue sacrifice of abandoning lore, could be improved infinitely.

I agree with the OP. I'm on Maelstrom on Famfrit (primal data center). The best queue time I ever see is about 20 minutes, the worst being over 45+ minutes (I generally withdraw and re-queue after about 35 minutes). Granted, that is not 2 hours like the OP is suggesting, but I have friends on my server in Flames that get in almost instantly.

While the lore is cool, and it's fun to be in the GC with the most wins, I really feel Frontlines would benefit more for being more like Syrcus Tower, in that you get placed in a random group of players and you're duking it out with the teams of the opposing color (red, blue, yellow). That would give everyone a much greater chance for nice queue times, and there wouldn't be any stigma about "this GC is great" or "that one sucks."

... and a better chance of winning. when i swapped to Flames, it was a morale killer walking into a match just knowing i was grouped with a bunch of clueless players and that there was a 98% chance it was going to be a loss. one day i played and lost ALL games. ridiculous. at least with no static gc affiliation players would get a chance to know what its like to play with good players and possibly learn what they are doing wrong rather than being stuck with bad players and continuously doing the same things wrong thus becoming even worse players.

Are you still on Primals? Flame isnt that bad in the eyes of the opponent tho. They are more aggressive than Malestorm for past few weeks. Twin Adders start to focus on Flames more than Malestorm now.

yea im still on Primal. the person i usually play with cried rivers of blood that we kept losing on Flames, even though personally i didn't care because i expected that before I swapped, but apparently it was too big of an issue to him so he swapped back to Maelstrom. so i switched back to Maelstrom too, back to the long queue times. for the last few days i haven't even really been doing FL since i'm tired of just waiting on pops and have just been playing other games.

Yay, you came back to Maelstrom! I'm sure at some point we'll be in group again.

Literally the only reason I only FL with a premade now. I wouldn't be opposed to removing GC restriction. Would work to counter the waves of GC hoppers looking for carries by opening the player pool to everyone. As everyone's already mentioned though, dat lore.
