Bring Old PVP Maps back to life!

[Yoruno]

This is my first post as OP, so sorry if the idea sounds silly, it's more something to discuss really. Basically, I've noticed a lot of maps gone un-used, seal rock, secure, borderlands, etc. What I would like to propose, is rather than having people queue for individual maps like shatter, they should do away with making them individual maps and have people queue for frontlines only.

The maps would almost work as a roulette, so you would have one game in shatter, one game in seal, one game in secure, etc. It stops the modes from going stale and not only that, if people are queued for one thing only as opposed to several it would mean more frequent pops. The maps picked would be completely random, and the rewards for the maps should be made reasonable.

PART 2

I know plenty of people stuck on around 150 wins on seal rock unable to get that mount, and probably will never get it because it no longer pops unless people organise it, and even then, sometimes that doesn't work! Perhaps, they could increase the wins required for certain items/mounts rather than have them rewarded for doing individual maps.

Mainly because most people end up getting the mount and then just never queue-ing again. There are so many awesome game modes which are left unplayed, and I do realise by making it all level 60 content then people who are level 50 cannot pvp. But let's be serious for a moment, is pvp even alive for people who don't have a heavenward expansion?

There's probably a lot of gaps in my idea for this, but like I said, if anyone else has any ideas that could be put forward to the officials, I would love to see them on here.

Thanks for reading.

The people who have 150 wins already have all the rewards from Seal Rock. The 200 wins mount can be obtainable from Shatter wins as well.

Wrong. You need 200 wins to get the mount from seal rock. The wins you get on shatter aren't shared for that particular acheivement.

I'm assuming the mount you're talking about is the black ADS.... that specifically says 200 Frontlines wins with any 1 GC... Seal Rock and Shatter both count as Frontlines. You can get the horses, Black ADS, and the White ADS from Shatter.

If you played in Shatter, won a game, and it did not update, it is because you swapped Grand Companies. To get the black ADS you need 200 wins in any ONE GC. For the White ADS you can get the 100 wins from any GCs even if you swap around.

The field commanders coat being another achievement which isn't shared by playing shatter. I've always been in adders and my win-rate for that particular achievement has still remained at 94. I started off in flames but switched to adders ages ago, I don't know if that's affected anything but beside the point I'm trying to make in this post. Anything that isn't already shared by playing shatter is rewards/achievements that are yet to be gained by people who have not played that mode, whatever it may be.

Hence why they should make a map roulette, similar to what they do for games like Overwatch, where you cycle between maps. Playing the same one constantly gets boring, and rather than pinpoint rewards on particular maps they should make the victories needed higher for it so it becomes more of a unique item and not something people can quickly queue for and then never queue again once they've got it.

They should at the very least have a rotating weekend pvp bonus for frontlines. Like 15% more tomes and xp or something. That way people will have an incentive for queueing up for different frontlines.

Or they can rotate the pvp challenge log to correspond to a different battleground/Frontline everyweek.

XP and marks, yes. Tomes? No. That'll make people come to play just for tomes and not learn the actual game mode.

The mount and achievement were around before seal rock even existed, so yeah.

Yet the field commander coat doesn't count for shatter wins, that's motivation for me to keep trying.
