Looks like GC restrictions may still be a thing

Qutoing myself from another thread cause I thought this deserved its own thread.

http://gamerescape.com/2015/03/09/pa...naoki-yoshida/:

PvP
At launch of Heavensward, we will have a new Frontline battle, with a new map and new rules. It will continue to be Grand Company based, but while before each Grand Company would start at a select location and the map, in Heavensward we will see a randomized starting location which will impact play. Armor rewards associated with Frontlines will also be updated. After that point they will update the Wolves Den.

From the Pax east interview that gamerscape did. All of my sadness :/

Though grand company based could mean anything, it doesn't have to mean they're keeping GC restrictions so much as the names themselves. Then again this feels more like wishful thinking on my part.

Mean while anyone who wanted a que time of less then 15 minutes is screwed. And they could just as easily throw us into any GC as "mercs", so that's a thing.

Lame!!!!^^^ Make some friends, form a premade, queue times less than 15 min for the most part (especially Secure) on Aether datacenter.

I have 2 full linkshells for PvP including Wolves Den. Having a premade does not make que times faster in Frontline. And you are completely full of it if you believe que times are 15mins "mostly" on Aether, ESPECIALLY NOT SECURE-my favorite PvP mode that is quite literally dying.

I stand by my statement. 20 min tops and that's usually when we queue less than 8/8.

If you're maelstrom on Aether datacenter, you are getting much faster queues then the Adder or Flames GC because Maelstrom has the smallest of the 3 PvP populations. You would not understand the queue times the other GCs have to go through to get a match.

Tell us because I'm curious personally.

Anyone else more excited about the update to the Wolves' Den them anything that happens with FL? ^^

Do you actually PvP? How can you possibly enjoy the 30+ minute queues?

You can't...
Race
Play Triad
Have a companion
Join a FATE party
Drop group (if in a pre-made)
Join group (if not in a pre-made)
PvP with friends in another GC
Change GC's without losing significant PvP Exp and Gear
Do most Leves
Take a DAMN BIO BREAK without sacrificing another 30 minutes.
etc etc etc...

Meanwhile I could easily field multiple FL's instances with the amount of people that are in favor of removing this restriction.

Naw, I do not Red Wolf, I just peruse the PVP forums for my own perverse pleasure, I'm straight up, G'd up, #PVE4LIFE

but you can;
Do full party treasure hunts (16 maps baby woot!)
Spiritbond gear
catch up on crafting
mining/botany/fishing( my PVP Maelstrom'rs premade all go fishing together waiting on queues)
need I go on?

P.S Triple Triad is soo 1998 #Doyouevenlift,Bruh?
