end of 24pl frontline

[Moonlite]

New patch, new rewards. That's how it keeps itself alive. Surely people are going to farm that 20k hairstyle or hair accessory. That's how this always works and will work.

I am guessing you didn't PvP pre freelancer. Rewards meant nothing except complaints, they didn't help ques. Aether at the time, close if not biggest data center had trouble getting ques during NA prime time. Rewards would only work if it was rotated on a weekly basis. Or they greatly change the rewards that they have now. For example give more xp then any other content pre 70. When the xp was better then anything else 72s popped all day long. Or if they have a plan by 5.2 to allow cross data center queing. Which has been discussed, but think it is not something that is soon.




Also to the people who think SE is concerned about PvP. This would have either had a community response or been actually addressed in the live letter. Not an actual solution, but a we will be monitoring que times to see if regions have issues getting 72s to start. Doesn't promise anything, but at least we could pretend they care about the community.

Did they give a reason as to why they are removing 24 man? Majority of my matches have been 24 man due to the time I normally play. Cannot fathom how they have data to support this change unless they are using the last garo push and mag event as a reason to justify the change.

No.
It would look weird though to have a 2x 4 player alliance in a 24frontline. :/
Targeting other players of your own alliance just got more difficult too on controller when it's 72. I rather would have kept 8man grps than having premades of 4 lol.

They could have made the content queueable only as max 4, like feast training is max 2, but keep 8player grps. Maybe we understand with the new skills, but atm it's hard to understand the decision -_-

Obviously not, the person is acting like we get new pvp rewards every patch. Wolf marks are easy to come by & The only time front lines kept itself alive during seal rock days was mostly during prime time after the new modes kinda got old to the casuals plus the no freelancer made queues bad for a long time. I forget the timeline when they added freelancer, maybe around shatter? the only front lines mode that would pop for like ever until the rotation was added.

May you rest in peace, Frontline.

[Bright-Flower]

Huh...this seems odd. On one hand I can kind of see that maybe they want frontlines to be the same experience and not 'big' or 'small' but the 24 man ones seem critical for actually filling these queues when not many people are pvping. Maybe it won't be a big deal but it feels like an odd move to me.

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

I support getting rid of 24man....in Secure. That mode is boring AF and 24man just makes it take even longer.
This is a weird move for Shatter and Seal though...

[XenociderOmega]

Frontlines is dead to me now

[hynaku]

That's dumb they need to get rid of 72 man raids and only have 24 man raids. Tired waiting 35 minutes for 72 spots to fill up. Where if was 24 man queue would be third of that. I'm sure not doing frontlines pvping anymore with these dumb changes there doing. Yoshi needs leave pvp alone and work on stuff that really needs to be fix. At this point hope they just get rid of pvp all together and just keep feast. Like how says its full with 72 people and start the match and your missing 4 people that never shows up.

[RyuSaarva]

well the good thing is that the horribly boring 24 man secure won't exist anymore and premade teams will bully people less now.
