Seal Rock...

[Cabalabob]

Don't add a new map just bump Seal Rock and other modes to level cap so they have more activity.

The problem is they can't do this. Slaughter and secure were ARR pvp. If you didn't buy HW you can't do seal rock and you won't be able to do SB pvp which will be 70 capped if you don't buy SB.

If they add an uncapped version of secure, slaughter or seal rock it would have to be its own thing separate from the original version.

It's going to be dead anyway, it's already dead because it's outdated, and it's going to be even more dead when Stormblood releases and the cap goes up. I'd understand the concern if those modes were active but with the way they have PvP set up as well as the size of our community it's just not happening.

You're not wrong, but anyone still playing ARR-only and hoping to get into FL is going to be waiting for 20+ hours per queue, which isn't really practical unless they want people to die of boredom or unsubscribe. They need to put those people out of their misery and upgrade the old FL maps to keep them relevant, and do the same in SB. If it means some people can't play FL for a while, it's a shame but better than the current situation. Unlike with PVE, it's not even reasonable to try to raise interest in PF - the rewards suck for the level 50 games and you need a whole ton of likeminded people to get them to pop. And in PVE you can do old content unsynced, whereas if you don't like level 50 sync you will never, ever see the old Borderland Ruins maps at all.

Add a new map and some new achievements with a mount? Maybe a 200 win achievement that rewards some new type of mount we haven't seen before? That is a good way to get more people to play it again. I know I've been wanting that field commander's coat but the queue time is a little unreasonable atm. Oh and if it's going to have an 8v8v8 mode, have that version have a smaller map to play on. Doing the 8v8v8 Seal Rock on that huge map is a little unreasonable.

It was my goal to get the Field Commander's Set before Stormblood comes out but that's looking like a pipe dream with Seal Rock being outdated,looking at these queue times I see each day I'd be lucky to even get 6 queue pops before SB launches

I agree, they can just add lvl cap or add new rewards or even add it to the new relic quest as long as it will be relevant again. If it's another map, it's a different thing entirely. They are just wasting time, resources and effort.

Seal Rock doesn't pop because the people that helped revitalized the queues realized that Shatter is:

1. The new Mode.
2. You don't have to actually PvP to get your rewards.

You forrgot:

3. They can just AFK at the base or bot.

[Khalithar]

After thinking about this thread and the mode some more it would be a good idea also to rebalance some of the mechanics, fixing RNG so that you won't get a whole match of the nodes spawning in one section or that the team in the lead has an S rank spawn right in of their base, etc.

Also just something that bothers me about modes like this and no doubt will get some backlash (not that I care) is that I don't think AoE should interrupt capping, it should be direct damage only.

Seal Rock is one of my favorite PVP game modes of all time. 72-man battles were so epic! For example double caster LBs could wipe a team out if executed correctly. Running around and taking out stragglers, etc.

Let's make Friday Night Fights a thing for Primal data center. Every Friday queue for Seal Rock starting at 7pm EST.

This will give players an opportunity to complete the Field Commander's set! As well as work towards other achievements.

Told the largest PVP LS on Leviathan about it. Best of luck with your endeavor! Let us know how it goes!
