PVP Board & Frontlines

[UlricCraft]

Devs & Peeps,

General whine:
Please may you address the recurring complaints in the PVP board about Frontline queues and PVP queues in general.

Last night I joined a linkshell where we had an alliance queueing up for Twin Adder, yet we were still waiting 30+ minutes.

This was at 7pm Monday.
What's the UK peak activity? 5pm-10pm?

The suggestions for "Reduce the 72 player count" is silly because waiting for a 4v4 match takes equally as long.

Genuinely looking for suggestions, feedback from the devs, and if anyone has a successful system for their server.

My main issue is that; I can't do anything except crafting or solo content while in queue.
No Choc raising, no Spiritbond parties either.

My solution so far has been to queue as soon as I get home from work, put my laptop on, and watch some anime or play another game.

they said they are adding pvp leaderboards which will prob bring a lot of people back to PvP and make things faster in the future.

What does this mean? Adding leaderboards?

As for the very long waits, they're getting old. I love Frontlines, it's currently my top favorite thing to do. But, the wait times are ridiculous.

Last night, during prime time on the NA primal server, I logged in at 6pm. I logged out for the night at midnight, so a total of 6 hours of being logged on to the game. I was queueing for Frontlines the whole time. I got in exactly 6 matches. At roughly 15 minutes each, that is approximately 90 minutes. So, in 6 hours of being logged on, I played for an hour and a half. The rest of the time was spent literally standing around waiting for a queue to pop.

The biggest problem is the GC split. Whatever GC is seen as the "best" will have lots of people flocking to it drastically increasing the queue time. They should really just make 3 randomly assigned teams regardless of your current GC.

They should add stuff at the end like "most damage" "most healing done" "most checkpoints taken" "best kda"
I would be even happier if we got stuff like fps games have, first blood, double kill etc.
They wouldnt mean anything in the end but it would make pvp so much more fun IMO
