Seal Rock - non existant

[Rufalus]

Back in 3.0, I usually get Seal Rock and Borderlands on weekends. We need people to do that, take a break from leveling for once.

Those maps are leveling too, it's the same rewards as shatter / fields of glory. They all give the same amount of progress, just different choices. Endgame tomes when played as a lv70 job or class exp as an uncap job.

All Frontlines maps have always been capable of 24 or 72 player options. There was once even a 48, but that was removed quite a while ago.

And still even today i think they should have removed 72 instead 48 and prime example is that now the upcoming map will be 48 so i think they finally learned that it is the sweet spot size for modes like FL(i still have my worries about that new mode due that "mecha" thingy, i really don't like turrets and tanks in pvp, it feels like build in cheating system).

I got on the forums today to make this very same post, I'm glad I'm not alone. Everyone just queues for Frontlines Roulette I imagine but to never have any variety kinda makes PvP not as much fun. Personally I feel Seal Rock is their best PvP mode and with the new pvp system the ARR Frontlines PvP modes could be added into the mix as well. I'd love to see the mix instead of more sad depressing snow. Should we post something about the lack of variety in the gen discussions forum so it gains more traction/eyes?

Sure, but I think the moderators will just move the thread to the PvP section as soon as they see it. :/

We need faster que times.

I do miss Seal Rock. I have the outfit and mount, but still don't have all the achievements.

pretty simple really, the bots are clearly made to do shatter so it only queues for shatter.

if your maelstrom you get enough people to build a team without freelancers so you wouldn't see it most likely but the huge amount of bots spamming shatter all day every day as freelancers will be eating up almost all of the people doing roulette. The game is very likely coded to fill out games that are closest to ready so 1 person queued for X is not going to get priority over 8 bots queued for Y

The bot behavior is so completely obvious too, they go to the same exact spot every single game and just sit there twitching back and forth until something that can be targeted runs by and they follow it. If S-E mass banned them it would very likely result in things evening out a lot
You can't even boot them from games because the other bots won't cast votes >_<

the bots going to seal rock really isn't an issue, The program they use is very obviously designed for shatter only.
It is kind of funny though, late last night i got a game in shatter and was literally the only actual player in it
Should have taken pictures: all 3 bases a single color, crystals lit up all over the map, and 3 teams just standing at the bottom of the base ramps
