Suggestion: Duty Finder - Frontline selection merged

[TheWaywardWind]

Basically, as it stands right now, you are never, ever, going to play another 72 man secure or slaughter (phew) match again, ever. You're lucky if you can squeeze by with a 24 man match in either of those.

This is due obviously to everyone queuing up for seize, and for good reason. However, what if you were to merge Secure/Slaughter/Seize into one Duty Finder option? This way, once you select to play Frontlines, the mode is completely random so you can play any mode.

This would breathe in life to the other two modes. It would actually make them playable again. It would help queues, and instead of re-running the same mode over and over, everyone would get a taste of the full Frontlines experience.

I have not ran a 72 man secure since January. Please consider reviving it SOMEHOW.

I would be 100% down for this if I didn't never want to see Slaughter again in my life haha.

But yeah maybe if they bump the other modes up to Lv60 this would be nice to change it up so it isn't just a "flavor of the year" thing always.

This is in game already...

I knew someone was going to post about Frontline Roulette.


I am not talking about Frontline Roulette. Let me make that clear now. It's not what I'm referring to.

I'm referring to the separate options to queue for the SPECIFIC modes to be abolished, and have them all pulled into one queue option that cycles through the modes.

Edit: See, even in that picture you posted, you're doing what I'm talking about. SEAL ROCK (SEIZE).

I'm talking about having Seal Rock (Seize), Borderland Ruins: Secure, and Borderland Ruins: Slaughter OPTIONS to all be abolished in favor of one option. Duh, of course I know about the Roulette. I'm not oblivious.

I can't agree with that, personally. People should always be able to choose what they want to play. Roulettes for random.

It might be nice to introduce a week/weekend where you get bonus pvp exp in a specific frontlines to allow us to cycle through them periodically.
As much as I, too, would rather not have to go through the mindless monotony that is 72 Slaughter - It is the best way for players to grind out the kill x amount of player title achievements.
Having people trying to pursue these achievements in secure or seize can be damaging to the strategy when people run off going rambo to get their kills.

I suggested something like this a few weeks ago

Basically if you give each mode a bonus window for exp/marks, it would help bring back old modes. I agree a simple ilvl update to secure/slaughter would also help out in addition to this.
