I cant get matches when I get off of work in the morning. Please bring this back.

Sorry to post twice, but I to like the small matches where it's more personal. Easier to pick my target when things get personal. There is still strat5to be had in 72man when people act right and take charge or fall in line.

When you forget to leave the queue and come back to this. Removing 24 man was a mistake.

So you play at non-peak hours and complain that no one is playing. Okie dokie.

Imagine people having night shift jobs, or being on different time zones playing on NA Data centers. Man, what an unimaginable thing.

Seriously, before 5.1, I was seeing so many people online, and 24m FL matches would be 20 minutes que tops. 30m if it was a sunday.

We have every right to complain as those were peak hours for us. The night shifters, The EU people playing NA, the morning birds who have a day off, etc.

"Most people don't play MMOs in the morning." If you have proof of this, I'd love to see it. Not all of us have 9 to 5 jobs. Not all of us have kids or morning responsibilities. Some of us just want to play the mode we enjoy.

This.

I work third shift these days and it ain't cool to not be able to get a match in the mornings. There was nothing wrong with 8v8v8. Please bring it back. Also the 8v8 feast with all maps on random.

I'm also on Crystal. I'm also in an off timezone. I queue frontlines for hours now while doing gathering or fates just on the off chance that enough off-time players might do the same and a Unicorn off-time game might happen(my longest queues have been 4 hours in non-peak times before I gave up). I hate the thought of 50-ish players all trying to do frontlines and thinking that my addition could be the difference between a game happening so I just keep trying. I wish we knew how many people are in the queue, so we have a better ability to gauge if a match will happen. Having, at least, the ability to shout out in high-pop areas that a game could happen if just a few more people join could help if (8v8v8) man doesn't return.

That said, I'd rather have 24-man back!!! Until the mad rush for the Garo mounts at the end of 5.1, I had barely even played a 72 man game. Now I have to be up at off hours just to get a game in if one happens at all. And sure, 24 man games were a bit slower but as others have said you really could feel like you had an impact. The win rates weren't as skewed because of just one or two long-time players or new players on any team could decide the match. I had good win rates as a freelancer which just doesn't happen on Crystal with 72-man. There was even a little time to teach someone who was new to PVP about what was happening.

Who is 24man's removal benefitting? I don't understand.

Please SE, bring (8v8v8) back!

im in a similar situation. I dont know what it was like before 5.1. I dont even know what its like now to be honest. I was never that interested in pvp. But the new gear sets look interesting and so i thought i would try. for the past 4 days i have tried after work until it was time to get some sleep. about two to three hours each day on work nights and seven and a half hours in que on my day off. i have not got a match yet. im set to freelance and doing the daily Challenge : Frontline. But im just not getting in. its frustrating because it seems as though this new gear is beyond my reach. I know its only glamour but it was interesting enough to get me to que. If only to give it a shot. But if there are no matches to play when im able to play then I guess there not really worth doing. Maybe they should add some other way to earn these rewards. Edit: I failed to mention, im 3rd shift as well and my play time is early mornings and some late nights.

Bump. My playtime is mostly queuing now.

I think it's time we got some feedback from the community team regarding this issue.

After reading Japanese die of official/non official discussion, I am starting to afraid that entire 24 men removal is for the sake of this new "Seal Rock 2.0". The map is obviously too big for 24 men; but since it is classified as "Frontline" they are enforcing 72 men so it can be part of map rotation. My speculation is they are worry if this mode will die on NA like Rival Wing because the mode is purely design based on Japanese team play meta. It is not something NA players going to enjoy for long.
