Thread: Suggestion - Make Frontline Rule/Map selection random come Stormblood (or 4.1).

Seize is my personal favorite as it has objectives that forces you to do pvp compared to ice killing race in shatter, secure also forces you to engage enemy team so its good alternative for seize.

There's also the possibility that many people don't know that you can queue for all three maps at the same time, unlike The Feast.

Actually, let me change that. I think the true culprits are those that only queue for The Field of Glory (Shatter) which forces the Frontline roulette to place people in the same group as them just so it pops faster. Since more people queue only for Shatter, those that queue for Seize and/or Secure are stuck in limbo since the roulette prioritizes people queuing for a specific thing for short wait times over pure randomness.

Yes please do this.. I am sick of Shatter. 2 other modes we could have to play but can't because More than 30min.

Shatter is so boring. If I wanted to hit inanimate objects I would have done PVE. I have made this statement multiple times to my FC

Seize and Secure were kinda active last Saturday and Monday (had a really fun time), but I think this only happened because the PvE instance servers were down at the time (EU) and people had nothing else to queue for.

Tuesday onward has pretty much been like this:



All while Shatter is less than 5 min in queue time.

Can we please have some form of map rotation? Would prefer daily.

Thank you.

Fully agree with this. Queued up with a friend all day yesterday to get the garo gear/title/mount and all 33 Frontlines was Shatter. I honestly miss Secure because it's been years, and I've never been able to play Seize because I wasn't subbed then, so now those achievements are looking almost impossible. Shatter isn't bad at all, but you have 2 other maps, let it rotate to keep things fresh.

Before 4.01, people had a tiny reason to not queue for Secure but now that duration is taken into account regarding EXP, it's now just as good as the other modes/maps.

Going by all posts that I have made in this thread, it may come off like I'm really not enjoying Shatter. Shatter is fun but I just want some variety in my PvP experience. Lets play all three maps equally with a daily map rotation.

All you have to do is tell people to stop queuing for Shatter...you get Shatter in the roulette because that is all people are queuing for non-roulette, not because of the "rotation" which doesn't exist. The best part of this PvP change is no more 30 min queue because it tried to put me into the level 50 Frontlines garbage because that one level 50 who refused to buy HW wanted to do a PvP match. Not only were the old maps less fun...the only reason I was there was for the bonus tomes not to not get tomes!

I believe now its because Shatter has the Mount reward so people are gunning for that reward and just queueing shatter, since mounts are very popular.

Really want a proper locked roulette so we have more variety.
