The Fields of Glory (Shatter)

[Odessium]

yea, frontline activity on aether (north america) is pretty low

with regards to gc restriction, it seems that fear of exploit (ie. fixed matches) is the dev team's "official" reason for keeping gc restriction*. i'm not sure if this is still their primary concern or if they have any other secret reasons they can't disclose for keeping the gc restriction.

I'd say they don't give much attention to the PvP community in general. Yeah they make new modes but they somehow fail to keep earlier modes alive. Feast is already dead on Chaos DC. "Nah we keep GC restriction, so people don't win-trade somehow even though no one plays anything but Shatter now"

They listened to players a lot this year when they thought about what they can do to make pvp better.

Sadly they only listened PvP-wise to Feast, they never adressed a single Frontlines issue.

They somehow forgot about the non-feast pvp. So much for listening to the PvP community. They removed the PvP rank from gear and somehow made it mandatory to rank up to get PvP skills. Like what? How does that make Feast available for the majority of players?

I am surely not the first one to have this idea but what about rewriting the lore of Frontline as "let's re-enact the war between Amdapor, Mhach and Nym". This would naturally provide three teams fighting (at least more naturally that the current lore) and for each battle, we would join randomly one of these three teams.

I posted on the Q&A thread about this issue (here : http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...04#post3732404) if people want to support it! It could help to have a higher coverage.

Because it's been a year since Bayohne answer, and they don't seem to care at all, except "lowering icebound tomelith's HP" I mean, okay, it's a nice proposition but it's not gonna increase the queue times at all.

To echo everyone else..... REMOVE THE GC RESTRICTIONS..... Seriously it's hurting pvp, It makes queues slow with the imbalance of members per GC queuing. Or at the very least like others have suggested make a "free agent" role to allow people to fill the gaps.

The wait time is killing a all new pvp mode, I think DF has also some kind of problem with matchmaking like in the previous Frontlines.
I'm actually sitting in a 110min que started this afternoon while other of my same GC entered multiple times, why am I starving on a dead que?

It really need to move out from the GC restricion in some way, there was a ton of suggestion and if you dont' wont' to break up too much it, you can allow players with different GC ranks maxed, to play for all those GC (available only in solo queue), this will be a "soft" mecenary mode that will improve the entire matchmaking.

And pls for the love of god, fix that DF. I will never accept premades having precedence over solo queue. Talk about ruining GC restriction even more.
