The Frontlines Premade issue has not been fixed.

[hexyu]

Please, reimplement the 8-person Full Party back into Frontlines mode. This game mode is not a small-scale experience. Even if you are placed on opposite Grand Companies, it would be possible to never run into your friends in a game. That is the nature of a large-scale game mode. Is it really playing with your friends if you interact once or twice every 20 minutes in the game? Honestly, I am not really here to

Donate my time to ensure everyone excels at Frontlines or to build a community. This is not the goal of everyone that plays video games. Sometimes, believe it or not, people just want to enjoy a few hours with their friends. Square Enix should be making more of an effort in-game to explain the fundamentals and mechanics of their PvP modes. A lot of people still do not understand how many points can be gained from kills as opposed to running to a low-value objective.

For the players who do not play in premades and feel that they are unfair: I do understand that it can be frustrating. It may feel like a waste of time if you are KO’d as soon as you leave your spawn.

My argument is that is an issue more about the game mode and not about the party size. It can be very valuable to gain points by getting kills at a team’s spawn when that team is separated and cannot regroup. I have seen premades and non-premades take advantage of this. This is just one example. For reference, from my perspective, it also is frustrating when players are not cooperating with the team and running off on their own.


Switch the rewards and achievements or whatever, I don’t care. The core experience that I only care about if being able to play a video game with my friends. And yes, that means more than four people. I do not want to be playing in a group and, as a result, someone else has to sit out. I would rather opt out if that is the situation.

Premadss should have freelance forced upon them imo.

If you queue Frontlines with a party it forces you into Freelancer already

Please, you really need to do some research first.

Here is why you get lumped into a giant group of wonderful people. Maybe you can contain yourselves and do PvP and also the objectives of the match. A polling of people who have seen premades and have been in premades, MO is farm kills. Don't kill drones, don't secure nodes, don't shatter ice just farm players till the game is over. They don't actually seem to care if they win or lose just get as many kills as possible. It actually isn't so bad on Crystal not sure what its like on others. They are the first to complain that other things give points besides kills and first to blame the losing team for not being blood thirsty enough. As if random match ups are fair, we didn't have bad healers today we had multiple games with 3,2 and a couple with 1 today.

You can win anyway you want. Doesn't change the fact frontlines is an objective based pvp mode, not a kill based pvp mode. PvP doesn't mean kill it means players not competing vs AI. That does not belittle the other PvE objective. If we are all hitting the ice it is still PvP we all get a score. One side wasn't controlled by an AI to score against you.

Kind of want to point out two things there:

First there are different types of premades: The premades that coordinate objectives only and avoid confrontation, the premade the balanced confrontation and objective, and the premade that focuses on number padding and seeing how high their healing/damage goes.

I fall somewhere between the first and second when leading my group. I play the game as intended and I don't woflstomp through sheer kills because that's one of the worst things to do to newer players.

I know several groups and leaders who crush PUGs with just pure killing because its the most fun way to play the game. I don't condone it, but its a valid strat. 10 points for every kill. -5 points for every death. They can literally take the points earned from objective only groups by just slaughtering them. My premade has been crushed before by the sheer overwhelming force of power and I do agree, it makes you feel helpless and agitated.

My point is you shouldn't lump all premades into a huge murder-train squadron of people. Some really like the army leading/follow aspect and making strategic decisions to win games.

I think we should all be lumping your premade into the pug stomping group or worse considering you're advocating this. You are one of those players who is literally exploiting with 16 people in Discord for the pure purpose of pug stomping. You admitted this in a public Discord after a day of organizing light party matches with numerous groups of peoples. When asked to do it again the following night, you stated "I think people need a break and want more relaxed matches" then you proceeded to stream yourself queue syncing. If you weren't doing it to pug stomp, then why would you consider queue syncing as relaxed matches? On top of that, the literal second you faced competition, you rage quit. You're encouraging everyone to queue sync as well, but then actually get mad when others do it. This was all on your stream. You're only defending queue syncing and making up excuses because you want to pug stomp. I made it clear to you and your group of players that this was a ToS violation, and yet you're still here trying to defend yourself AND encouraging others to do it. Just stop.

You are not playing this the way it's supposed to be played. If you were, you wouldn't be queue syncing. You'd be going in with the max party of four. As the game literally intends. Instead, you're telling everyone here to abuse a ToS violation.

2.1 Cheating and Botting. You may not create or use any unauthorized cheats, bots, automation software, hacks, mods or any other unauthorized software or hardware designed to modify the Game and gameplay. In addition, you may not take advantage of game system bugs and exploits during gameplay.

■Misuse of flaws
"Misuse of flaws" refers to the deliberate exploitation of a fault in Final Fantasy XIV, or manipulating a feature of Final Fantasy XIV so that it does not function as intended, in order to obtain personal gain or cause disadvantage to someone else.

Start playing how the game is currently intending you to play. It intends you to play with four. Not 200% more players than intended. Asking for eight mans back then proceeding to do it with 16 players queue syncing is the wrong way to bring attention to this. You're asking for Frontlines to be destroyed instead. You were on stream with 14 the other night.

Did you report him? If you want it to stop, you have to get you and your friends to stop it.

Forced free lancer will kill the “ x GC always wins” mentality, it’s needed.
