    PvP dead once again?

    More than one time I have queued up for front lines and the queue times are horrendous... 1hr queues, even at peak hours. Honestly, starting to feel like any content related to PvP is only relevant on the first few weeks then it gets buried, only allowing either the bored or the cultists to do that forgotten content.

    Yeah, it got boring after a while but the system was very flawed. Not sure if they fixed it, but I remember queueing only to be in a party with around 4-6 members. sometimes we were missing an alliance

    I wouldn't say Frontlines is dead, but the queue times are getting worse. On Leviathan, you can always get a match going before 1 a.m. in under 20 minutes. However, the teams are rarely balanced. The Immortal Flames seems to be lucky if we get a third full party.

    Speaking for myself, I only did FL for the pony and once I got that I took a one month break from it before deciding to go for the gear as a glamour. I got rank 40 last week (had only been playing 7 games a week for the challenge log) and have not touched it since. I noticed that the queue system obviously has some terrible bugs in that if your queue time goes over 45 minutes, you're better off requeuing. Doing so would usually get me a game within 20 minutes.

    Speaking of the queue system, it is awful. I'd estimate less than 2% of my games ever started with a full team and it does not begin to replenish ranks until AFTER the game starts. Far, far too often my team would start with under 50% attendance and screw us from the start (some games we're not full until 7-8 minutes in; unacceptable). We'd make comebacks for sure, but often the deficit of the start was too great to overcome. It's easy to see why people have stopped playing after such an atrocious experience.

    Since nexus light farming, I've been doing frontlines almost non-stop. Make sure you queue for "in progress". On the primal data center, I rarely wait longer than 15 min for a frontlines queue.

    played last night and wished the queue would stop popping so much, couldn't do a single thing because they were instant or within 1 min of queuing. Try leaving mael, the time will only get worse and more change for perceived win rate. I ended last night going 7/13 1st place with adders getting 4 and mael 2, even if flames won 1 game out of that its much better to get 1/13 in the same timeframe and 1/2.
