    Suggestion: Reviving Frontline Modes Secure and Slaughter

    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? No, I am not talking about Roulette. I am talking about removing the Duty Finder options for Seal Rock (Seize), Borderland Ruins (Secure) and Borderland Ruins (Slaughter) so that this way, once you select to play Frontlines, the mode is completely random so you can play any mode. It would be similar to the roulette but would offer variety.

    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.

    It would only really limit those wanting to play a specific mode at a specific time, but it would mean that everyone gets to experience and prepare for diverse gameplay in the different modes.

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

    Sorry, but to take away something and replace it cause the new toy was being used more than the old....? Dumb.

    Plus it would add even more RNG to my being able to get that swanky Commander Coat.

    Nothing in this game revolves around "shiny new content, completely forget the old stuff, that stuff's useless!" That's why we have roulettes in the game; it forces people to go back and enjoy old content. Just because it's old doesn't mean it's bad.

    If you're worried about the commander coat, have them change it to 30 wins of each or something. That's hardly an important issue in the grand scheme of things.

    Why would anyone latch onto that specific part of my post? Ugh... And even worse, to not realize the blunder of the second suggestion...

    Alright, firstly: DON'T EVER TAKE SHIT AWAY. Why give people less options?

    Secondly: You suggestion of 30 wins per game mode along with your ORIGINAL suggestion?

    WHAT IF RNG DECIDES to stick me in TWO game modes more than 1 and it take me over 200 battles won to even get those 30 wins per game mode, WHEN I COULD HAVE DONE IT IN ONLY 90!?!?

    UUUUUUUUUUUUUGH...

    "Let's just fuggin' shove RNG flipping EVERYWHERE!!"

    NO!!!! DON'T!!! For all that is good, DON'T!!!

    It doesn't offer anything constructive, you're just slapping stupid RNG onto it, something that bothers A LOT of players because YOU are feeling indignant that the new mode is taking away from the stuff YOU want to play.

    I'm attacking that one part because I'm thinking about not only myself, but the whole playerbase as well. As I stated, A LOT of people do not like the RNG aspect of the game already.

    Instead, why not slap on some new awesome gear and Law tomes to the old modes as well? No... the road this thread went down was of selfishness instead.

    (I couldn't delete the first post... <_<)

    I don't think I've had the luxury of playing a 72-man Secure, but 24-man Secure was boring as hell and 72-man Slaughter was a clusterfuck of Sleep and Cometeor spam. I have no desire to see either of those two modes "revived" in any fashion.

    Pity, you missed out on the best version, then. This would revive that.

    I lost interest in PvP in general.

    they killed it. i110 sets can be equipped by anyone now. what a slap to hardcore PvP players...

    PvP can stay there and rot. they keep doing something like this, they're killing people's will to do PvP.
